Numbers 9:15-23. Precious tokens these of the divine presence, and of the divine favour. Isaiah 4:5-6. But how much more precious, since the Lord Jesus came and tabernacled among his people, in the likeness of our flesh? John 1:14; Galatians 4:14. The pillar of cloud moving before them was a delightful testimony of what the people were to do, and a sure guide for them to follow. But how much greater our privileges, who are under the leadings and teachings of the Holy Ghost. Romans 8:14. How solemn must have been this entry of the Shechinah, the glory of the Lord, into the court, and through the court, towards the altar and mercy-seat. But Reader! how sweet that scripture, Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true, but into heaven itself, there to appear in the presence of God for us. Hebrews 9:24.
