It only took the children of Isreal just over TWO years to reach the banks of Jordan and the promised land . Where God told them " I have given it to you go in and posses the land .
Paul warns us the church not to be like them who entered not in because of unbelief .
I used to think that unbelief was simply not believing God . It is more than that it is also believing the wrong message .
Paul also warns us not to be like Eve also who take note also believed the wrong message .
The church of which I am a member by the grace of God has made the wandering in the wilderness fir 40 years the Christian NORM . We have made Jordan death and the promised land heaven . This is simply not true . For while Jordan does mean a sort of death ( descending) baptism into his death . There are no "giants " or cities to conquer in heaven . Populated by the heathen .
For while they so wandered they had miracles every day twice on Saturday . Their cloths did not wear out they had manna from heaven the fire by night to cloud by day and God never left them . They were still outside of Gods will . And only two were found willing and ready when God said go in and pisses the land . God is no tyrant but let it be understood he is not democratic either but He does Have His own imperatives .
When Jesus was driven/ led into the wilderness he was proved and tried and it is not coincidence that the first temptation was replied with " man shall not live by bread alone "
The wilderness was their and our boot camp . It is not to be perminant it is where we are changed from ' civilians' or slaves into a soldiers . It is time to gird up our loins and start believing God . For the Bride of Christ will " come out of the wilderness terrible as an army with banners leaning upon her beloved" .
Milk is for new BORN again meat demands a measure of growing into maturity.
From " little children " to young men " in whom the Word of God dwells richly .
