How long did it take the children of Isreal to go from Egypt to the promised land? The usual answer which I often thought was 40 years . But no . It was just over two years . But the church of which I am a part has made the wandering in the wilderness for 40 years as the norm. Jordan is death and the promised land heaven. This cannot be so . For there are no giants in heaven to conquer etc or land to battles to be fought and while Jordan is a type of death it is not the death of the body but rather the 'death' of baptism it is the entering into the spiritual life .
Paul warned the church to be not .Ike them that "entered mkt in because of unbelief"
Unbelief is not simply not believing God it's believing another message .
Paul also warned us not to be deceived like Eve. She too believed the wrong message .
When they wandered in the wilderness for 40 years thry were still His people , they had miracles every day twice on Saturday . Their cloths did not wear out . The fire by night and the cloud by day. Yet withall that they were out of the centre of Gods will.
The wilderness was boot camp as it were where civilians become soldiers . It need not have taken any longer as proved by Joshua snd Caleb who were ready .
Is it not about time we believed God ? Is it not written the Bride Christ will come out if the wilderness terrible as an army wuth banners ,leaning upon the arm ( trusting and not upon our own understanding) of her beloved"
The Lord said to be ready " be ye also ready" for we do not know the hour but we know what season we are in .Fir if by Hebrews 1:1 God hath spoken in these last days by His Son over 2000 years ago then those days were clearly "green" if those were green then today it is very dry and ready for the fire .
