THE LAND OF PROMISE
DEUTERONOMY 1:34-35
And the Lord heard the voice of your words, and was wroth, and sware, saying, Surely there shall not one of these men of this evil generation see that good land, which I sware to give unto your fathers, (KJV)
We taught that the preaching of the gospel of Christ for the salvation of man, which is the offering of eternal life to man through the resurrection of Christ, has been the plan of God before man was created. It is not a new age message because of the sin of man. It is not a New Testament message. We explained how Moses began preaching this message to his audience, who were the Israelites from Egypt. Moses used a different mode of communication. Popular in his days, items, events, and experiences are narrated to communicate a message.
Moses used the creation story, historical events, their experiences and various miraculous acts in the wilderness to communicate the gospel of Christ. Therefore, in reading Moses’ writings, we must look beyond the stories and events and look for the message of Christ as explained by Jesus and the apostles. Jesus and the apostles explained the writings of Moses and their explanations must be our explanations. Jesus taught the gospel from the writings of Moses to His disciples (Luke 24:25-27). Moses was not writing a history of events but was preaching the gospel using the history of events.
We also taught that the various miraculous acts Moses demonstrated in the wilderness were for the Israelites to believe in God’s faithfulness to fulfill His promise in Christ. Their journey was from Egypt to the promised land. It would therefore be expected of them to believe in God’s faithfulness to take them to the promised land. The arrival at the promised land would be the result of faith. Despite the preaching of God’s faithfulness by Moses in their journey using various miraculous acts, they did not believe.
The promised land would therefore be symbolic of salvation in Christ.
Hebrews 3:8-11,
“Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness: When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years. Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways. So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest”.
They were destroyed because of unbelief in God’s faithfulness.
It was only two people who believed in the message preached by Moses. They were Joshua and Caleb,
Numbers 32:11-12,
“Surely none of the men that came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob; because they have not wholly followed me: Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, and Joshua the son of Nun: for they have wholly followed the Lord”.
Moses, therefore, used their journey to preach the gospel and the result of faith and unbelief in the gospel. Faith in God’s promise led Joshua and Caleb to reach the promised land, and unbelief resulted in judgment of destruction. This is the same gospel preached by Jesus and the apostles. Leaving Egypt was not salvation but rather the beginning of Moses' preaching of the gospel of God’s faithfulness to His promise.
CONFESSION: I have believed in God’s faithfulness; I am saved from destruction.
