Watchman Nee: Authority
Posted: Fri Jun 11, 2021 4:03 pm
The book of Numbers chapter 12
Quoting Watchman Nee:
Neither Aaron nor Miriam new Gods authority. They fostered a rebellious heart by standing on natural ground. Moses did not answer. He knew that if he was God's appointed authority, there was no need for anyone to protect him. Whoever spoke against him would touch death. He did not need to open his mouth. As long as God had given him authority, he did not have to speak.
. . . The authority which Moses represents was the authority of God. All authorities are delegated God, no one can take them anyway.
End Quote.
