Commentary on Numbers 31:1
The LORD's command to Moses to 'avenge the children of Israel of the Midianites' demonstrates that God executes judgment through His people. The phrase 'afterward shalt thou be gathered unto thy people' connects Moses' final military leadership with his approaching death. This teaches that God's leaders fulfill their calling even to life's end. The judgment on Midian for leading Israel into idolatry and sexual immorality (Numbers 25) shows that God takes seriously the corruption of His people. The Reformed doctrine of divine judgment includes temporal punishment executed through human agency.
