There is one number in particular that you should note in the census you'll find. It is the total number of registered soldiers - found in 26:51. Why is that of note? Because if you compare it with the number of soldiers God started out with in Israel (found in 1:46) you will discover that there is a difference of just 1/3 of 1%.
So what? Well, even after all the rebellion and sin we've just read about ... even the death toll from the previous section ... God ended up with the same number of people He began with. Its just that those who forfeited their position (by disobeying God) were dropped and others were raised up in their place.
God doesn't need us. We're not imperative to His plan. He can raise up others if we choose to forfeit His grace. But I want to be among those who get ushered in to the Promised Land!!!
