Numbers One - Biblical Censuses

"These are the ones who were numbered, whom Moses and Aaron numbered, with the leaders of Israel, twelve men, each one representing his father's house. So all who were numbered of the children of Israel, by their fathers' houses, from twenty years old and above, all who were able to go to war in Israel--all who were numbered were six hundred and three thousand five hundred and fifty," Numbers 1:44-46, NKJV. #BiblicalCensuses
Counting the number of a population of people, particularly the people of God, seemed to be an act in scripture undertaken strictly as a high privilege, in which the information was ordered exclusively by a mandate of the Lord from His throne, or in an opposite sense, for Satanic purposes; God even punished David, severely, a man after his own heart, for attempting to conduct a census without His permission.
1 Chronicles 21:1-7, Luke 2:1-7 and Revelation 7:1-8.
