Drama Version
MOSES ARRAYED THE CAMP AND FLAGS As the census was completed, God arranged a special placement for each standard of force that the children of Israel had to abide by when they were pitching their tents, traveling or taking off. This arrangement resembled a cross moving towards the promised land. Encompassed inside the cross was another cross (an inner cross). The first cross represents the suffering church (crucified church) which incorporates Jesus crucified (inner cross), Who will guide her across and into His Heavens. This arrangement that God depicted means our obligation to follow an orderly manner in our worship and behaviour, not as an external appearance but with spiritual depth (1 Cor 14:40). Each tribe had its own flag around which the people congregated. The same way as we all meet at the Cross, with unity and fellowship. For each standard of forces there was a precious stone, as if the whole congregation resembled the breast plate of the garment of the chief priest (Exod. 39:10-14), which contains twelve precious stones in four rows. It is said that each standard of forces comprises 3 tribes having one banner A graphic composition of the camp in the wilderness - in the shape of a Cross that encompasses Christ's Cross. - it represents 4 placements: the 4 living creatures that carry the divine throne. - a symbolic picture of Jerusalem: 3 portals in each direction.
