The Rod of Aaron (Numbers 17:8)

2022-09-16

And it came to pass, that on the morrow Moses went into the tabernacle of witness; and, behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi was budded, and brought forth buds, and bloomed blossoms, and yielded almonds. (Numbers 17:8)

Previously, we spoke about how His leaders are appointed to His work, and those who question that leadership question God. How does God confirm His leader? Here, we see that Aaron and his sons were affirmed the priesthood by this miracle. A rod blooming almonds was enough to convince the people! We do not know how God will confirm His leader for a church today, as it will likely not be in this way. An elder has qualifications, but when his leadership is challenged, then what? However, God will make it clear so that the gainsayers will be silenced.
