民数记23:9
我从高峰看他，从小山望他，这是独居的民，不列在万民中。
问：请解释这章节属灵的意思。
以色列是真神所拣选的子民，是真神产业的羊群。他们独居在真神恩典之中，与世界的人是有分别的，因为他们不列在万民中。
弥7:14求耶和华在迦密山的树林中，用你的杖牧放你独居的民，就是你产业的羊群。求你容他们在巴珊和基列得食物，像古时一样。
申22:27-2827永生的神是你的居所，他永久的膀臂在你以下。他在你前面撵出仇敌，说：‘毁灭吧！’28以色列安然居住；雅各的本源，独居五谷新酒之地。他的天也滴甘露。
真神爱祂的以色列民。当他们在埃及受苦时，向真神哀求，神的旨意就是要救祂的子民脱离埃及地，进入应许之地—迦南。
真神多次帮助以色列民打胜战，那是因为祂要祂的子民顺服祂的诫命。真神吩咐以色列民过了约旦河，进入迦南地后，必须赶出那地所有的居民，禁止他们与外邦民族通婚，不要他们被诱惑，随从异族的风俗及异教拜偶像。
民33:51-5551你吩咐以色列人说：你们过约但河进迦南地的时候，52就要从你们面前赶出那里所有的居民，毁灭他们一切錾成的石像和他们一切铸成的偶像，又拆毁他们一切的邱坛。53你们要夺那地，住在其中，因我把那地赐给你们为业。54你们要按家室拈阄，承受那地：人多的，要把产业多分给他们；人少的，要把产业少分给他们。拈出何地给何人，就要归何人，你们要按宗族的支派承受。55倘若你们不赶出那地的居民，所容留的居民就必作你们眼中的刺，肋下的荆棘，也必在你们所住的地上扰害你们。
申7:1-61耶和华你神领你进入要得为业之地，从你面前赶出许多国民，就是赫人、革迦撒人、亚摩利人、迦南人、比利洗人、希未人、耶布斯人，共七国的民，都比你强大。2耶和华你 神将他们交给你击杀，那时你要把他们灭绝净尽，不可与他们立约，也不可怜恤他们。3不可与他们结亲，不可将你的女儿嫁他们的儿子，也不可叫你的儿子娶他们的女儿；4因为他必使你儿子转离不跟从主，去事奉别神，以致耶和华的怒气向你们发作，就速速地将你们灭绝。5你们却要这样待他们：拆毁他们的祭坛；打碎他们的柱像；砍下他们的木偶；用火焚烧他们雕刻的偶像。6因为你归耶和华你神为圣洁的民。耶和华你神从地上的万民中拣选你，特作自己的子民。
今天末世的真教会，也是牢牢地守着早期真耶稣教会的基础。这基础是建造在耶稣基督及使徒上，并没有加入属世不符合圣经的教导，不随从属世的主流同传他们的福音，包括不参与及随从人为的各种宗教庆节。我们只谨守圣经两约里的教训，要我们谨慎并紧记真神给予我们的警戒，不要随从世俗的教导。
愿一切荣耀归於主耶稣基督。哈利路亚！阿们。

NUMBERS 23:9
For from the top of the rocks I see him, and from the hills I behold him: lo, the people shall dwell alone, and shall not be reckoned among the nations.
Question:
Please explain the spiritual meaning of this verse.
The Israelites were the chosen people of God and the flock of His heritage. They solitarily lived in His grace and were distinguished from worldly people, as they did not consider themselves part of the worldly nations.
Mic. 7:14 Feed thy people with thy rod, the flock of thine heritage, which dwell solitarily in the wood, in the midst of Carmel: let them feed in Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old.
Deu. 22:27-28 27For he found her in the field, and the betrothed damsel cried, and there was none to save her. 28If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found;
God loved the Israelites. It was His will to deliver them from their cries of sufferings in the land of Egypt and lead them into the promised land of Canaan.
God helped the Israelites win many battles because He wanted them to obey His commandments. He had commanded them to cross the River of Jordan into the land of Canaan, drive out all the existing inhabitants, not to marry gentiles, not to follow their traditions and not to worship idols.
Num. 33:51-55 51Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye are passed over Jordan into the land of Canaan; 52Then ye shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and destroy all their pictures, and destroy all their molten images, and quite pluck down all their high places: 53And ye shall dispossess the inhabitants of the land, and dwell therein: for I have given you the land to possess it. 54And ye shall divide the land by lot for an inheritance among your families: and to the more ye shall give the more inheritance, and to the fewer ye shall give the less inheritance: every man's inheritance shall be in the place where his lot falleth; according to the tribes of your fathers ye shall inherit. 55But if ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you; then it shall come to pass, that those which ye let remain of them shall be pricks in your eyes, and thorns in your sides, and shall vex you in the land wherein ye dwell.
Deu. 7:1-6 1When the Lord thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, and hath cast out many nations before thee, the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and mightier than thou; 2And when the Lord thy God shall deliver them before thee; thou shalt smite them, and utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor shew mercy unto them: 3Neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son. 4For they will turn away thy son from following me, that they may serve other gods: so will the anger of the Lord be kindled against you, and destroy thee suddenly. 5But thus shall ye deal with them; ye shall destroy their altars, and break down their images, and cut down their groves, and burn their graven images with fire.6For thou art an holy people unto the Lord thy God: the Lord thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth.
Today, the True Jesus Church is the true church of the last days. She is still standing firmly on the foundation that had been set since her establishment. This foundation is the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ and His apostles. Hence, we believers must not proclaim worldly teachings, secular churches’ doctrines or participate in secular churches’ religious celebrations. Rather, she must observe the teachings in the Two Testaments of the Bible and should take heed of God’s warning not to follow worldly teachings.
All glory to the Lord Jesus Christ. Hallelujah! Amen.
