The wisdom of the O.T. reveals a important lesson for us today. Unfortunately it is this wisdom that is rejected. It was surprising when I saw that it was two times mentioned in both Ex. 18: and Num. 11: both were not exactly the same but gave the same point.
In Ex. 18 :18 The problem was Moses was not able to do it alone. He needed men to help him. in v.21 we see that men to help him must be qualified. A. They must be men who love truth. B. They must not be lovers of money and temporal things. That is a heart of idolatry. By the way if you say you love truth you will be walking in the truth.
In Num. 11:14 This is another situation where Moses is finding the people a difficult situation, they are so many. Best estimates were there were 3 and a half million people out of Egypt. They were a people who murmured and complained. This is where Go calls for 70 elders. In 11:17 God takes of the Holy Spirit and gives it also to the 70 elders. Then we have a event that pictures Pentecost. In Acts 2:17 The Holy Spirit fell on the people and they shall prophesy. along with visions and dreams also. In 2:20 we have also blood moon.
Now to illumine-- Moses needed men of the Spirit. He is seen to know without that help the people would fall. When Pentecost came it was the same thing, people being used by God's Spirit to do amazing things. Now compare our time. Read 1 Cor. 5:11 These are people not qualified to even be associate with. 2Thess. 2:3 a great falling away an the antichrist revealed. So many scriptures reveal that because the Assemblies are not full of the Holy Spirit and one minister over them--not five-fold, they are weak an unable to fulfil God's will. The excuse not for today is prevalent . Only God can cause there to be divine order, the rest is flesh. Just maybe I sound like I am prophesying.
