以色列民清楚知道摩西是神的代言人，神在会幕里告诉摩西，祂要向百姓说什么话。

所以，当约书亚听说有两个人在营里说预言时，他想维护摩西作为神的先知的独特地位，他这样做是有道理的。然而摩西却回应说：“你为我的缘故嫉妒吗？惟愿耶和华的百姓都受感说话，愿耶和华把祂的灵降在他们身上！”摩西不觉得他的地位受到威胁，他反而看到，假若每一个神的子民都能为神和代表神说话，那将会是多么大的祝福啊！

许多世纪之后，当神的灵在五旬节降临在神的子民身上时，（参徒 2）摩西的愿望便实现了。先知约珥也曾宣告，有一天神的灵将要浇灌在所有人身上。五旬节那天，来自各国的群众，听到跟从耶稣的人用众人的乡谈讲说神的大作为。圣灵已经降临了，因为我们的大祭司耶稣，已经赐下救恩给我们，并且赐属灵的新生命给跟从祂的人。

如果你是基督徒，神的灵便会住在你里面，你已经受到圣灵的膏抹，去宣扬称谢神了。这个世界需要无畏的先知，去讲说神的真理、盼望、慈爱和恩典。今天你准备向谁分享耶稣的真理呢？

It was clear to Israel that Moses spoke for God. God would meet with Moses in the tent of meeting and give him words to say to the people.

So when Joshua heard about two men who had prophesied in the camp, it made sense that he would want to protect Moses' unique role as God's prophet. But Moses responded, "Are you jealous for my sake? I wish that all the LORD's people were prophets and that the LORD would put his Spirit on them!" Moses was not threatened; instead, he saw what a blessing it would be if all God's people would speak for and from God.

Moses' desire was fulfilled centuries later when the Spirit of God came to God's people on Pentecost. (see Acts 2) The prophet Joel had proclaimed that a day was coming when God's Spirit would be poured out on all people. And on Pentecost the crowds of visitors from all nations heard the followers of Jesus declaring the wonders of God in their own languages. The age of the Spirit had come because our chief prophet, Jesus, had provided us salvation and given his followers new life in the Spirit.

If you are a Christian, the Spirit of God is living in you. You have been anointed by the Spirit to declare the praises of God. The world needs bold prophets who speak God's truth, hope, love, and grace. With whom will you share the truth of Jesus today?
