Day 73: God builds his army in Israel | An angel speaks with the virgin Mary
In Numbers 1-2:1-9, God instructs Moses in the wilderness of Sinai to take a census of all the Israelite men over the age of twenty, organized by their tribes and families, to prepare for their journey and eventual battles. Each tribe is assigned a specific position around the Tabernacle, signifying order and readiness for both worship and war. As the Israelites set up camp in precise formation around the sacred Tabernacle, with the tribe of Judah leading, one wonders: Will this meticulous organization lead them to victory and into the Promised Land? In Luke 1:26-38, the angel Gabriel visits Mary in Nazareth, delivering the astonishing news that she will conceive a son by the Holy Spirit and name him Jesus, who will be called the Son of the Most High. Mary, a virgin betrothed to Joseph, responds with faith despite her confusion, asking how this will be. Gabriel reassures her of God's power, mentioning her relative Elizabeth's miraculous pregnancy as proof that "nothing will be impossible with God." As Mary accepts her role with humility, one wonders: How will Mary's faith shape the destiny of her son, Jesus?
