I praise the Lord God as the source of rest for the weary! We are commanded: "Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him" (Psalm 37:7). The destination of the obedient believer is to enter into His rest (Psalm 95:11). The blessed Saviour Jesus Christ tells us to take His yoke on us and learn of Him in order to find rest for our souls (Matthew 11:28-29). This rest is offered not only to the Jewish nation, but also to the Gentiles; and we will all find that "his rest shall be glorious" (Isaiah 11:10). When we trust in the Lord, we enter into that rest for our souls by ceasing to seek entrance into heaven by our own works (Hebrews 4:10). But, there "remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God" (Hebrews 4:9). One day, we will enter into that glorious rest. I can rest in my Lord. He gives rest to my soul and will bring me one day into His glorious, heavenly rest. What a Lord and Saviour we have!
The Book of Numbers describes the layout of the tabernacle and the encampment in the wilderness. The tabernacle faced eastward toward the rising of the sun. If you were to go inside of the tabernacle and look out to the east you would see Moses (the prophet), Aaron and his sons (the priest), the tribe of Judah (the king) and the sun. Could it be that from God's viewpoint in the tabernacle He saw the future work of the Son of God? Jesus Christ is the prophet, priest and king and according to Malachi 4:2, He is the "Sun of righteousness". In addition to this we can see that the work that Jesus did during His earthly ministry was that of a prophet. In His death, burial and resurrection, He preformed His priestly work. When He comes again in Revelation 19, He will be coming as a King establishing His throne and when He is ruling and reigning, truly, He will be the "Sun of righteousness" with healing in His wings.
