‭Joshua 19:51 These are the inheritances which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the households of the tribes of the sons of Israel distributed by lot in Shiloh before the Lord at the doorway of the tent of meeting. So they finished dividing the land.


Notice God had a gift, an inheritance for the tribes of Israel but He also had a system (a modus operandi) to hand out this inheritance. He had designated certain people per His design to take care of His business. The priest (Eleazar) was involved. The priests were the undershepherd. They were the ones who before the high priest Jesus came, were responsible for making sure God was addressed with and shown the reverence that the Holy God desires and requests. They gave sacrifices so humans might be accepted by God. Now that is done through Jesus and His complete and Holy Word delivered by Pastors. Then there was the prophet, (Joshua) he was the one who heard from God. He gave God's guidance to the people. That is the way it was before Jesus. This is now handled by the Holy Spirit indwelling and giving an understanding of scripture that is taught in church. Then there were the heads of households. These are the ones who looked after the families and distributed the Godly guidance among them. That was before Jesus came, now local churches serve families in the same way. They have Deacons who work to serve the families.

All the business was done before or in the area of the Lord's dwelling, in the doorway of the tent of meeting (the dwelling place of God). That is until Jesus came and now it takes place in the Holy of Holies the inner sanctuary of God.


Much changed at the coming of Jesus. Now the inheritance is for the Children of God by faith. No longer do you need to be the lineage of Abraham. You can be grafted in by the blood of Christ. No longer do you need a high priest to sacrifice for you? Jesus was the once for always sacrifice. No longer do you need a prophet to deliver messages from God. It is given through His word explained through the Holy Spirit. No longer do you need family heads as a local body of believers is a family guided by God. It is the local Church. No longer must you do business in the area of God, now we come into His Presence.


What a blessing it is to be alive in the Church age where we are given our inheritance straight from God by the Way of Jesus. You have been given a blessing from God to live in the Church age so be part of the church. It is the means by which God has chosen to operate at this time. If you are not living working and serving through the local church then you are not operating within the modus operandi of God.


God is not a God of confusion He desires us to work in His system.


Love Bro. Scott
