To
come to the end of the book of Numbers is to sense the great
significance of the man, Moses. To read the transfiguration of Jesus is
to realize that the glory of “Moses and Elijah … in glorious splendour”
is nothing compared with the glory of the Lord Jesus Christ. Of Christ
alone, the Father says, “This is My Son, whom I have chosen; listen to
Him” (Luke 9:35).
We give thanks for men of faith who have played an important part in
carrying forward God’s purpose of salvation. It is concerning the Lord
alone that Scripture says, “may those who love Your salvation always
say, ‘The Lord be exalted’” (Psalm 40:16).
" ... Will you ... come and stand before Me in this house, which bears My Name, and say, We are safe" - safe to do all these detestable things? Has this house, which bears My Name become a den of robbers to you? But I have been watching! declares the Lord" (Jeremiah 7:8-11). “God demands a conversion of the mind and heart as the basis of peace and security (cf. Is 26:3), not the superstitious veneration of a stone building or a traditionally sacred site” ( R K Harrison , Jeremiah ).
