Numbers 2:1-2

Even in this appointment, where we might least expect to find the Lord Jesus, methinks among the standards of Israel, I discern him who is said to be set up as the Lord's standard to the people. Isaiah 49:22 . And is not Jesus that very standard, which the Holy Ghost, it is said, shall lift up, when the enemy cometh in like a flood? Isaiah 59:19 . But, Reader! do not overlook in this place, that the Israelites were to pitch the standard far off: while we, blessed be God, are now brought nigh by the blood of Christ. Oh! the happy, happy privilege of the gospel state! Ephesians 2:13 .
