dying in the desert
Why is the LORD bringing us to this land only to let us fall by the sword? Our wives and children will be taken as plunder. Wouldn’t it be better for us to go back to Egypt? Numbers 14:3
We would all like to think that we belong that brave Joshua and Caleb company, ever faithful and strong, but how many times have we complained and acted out from unbelief, most of us, or more than 80% if we go by the book of Numbers account would die in the dry, hot and thirsty desert of unbelief.
For we as the children of Israel, go from blessing to unbelief and complaining, never arriving at a place of the true Fear of The Lord and of the blessing of faith, based on the true power of God. Only "believing" when a sign and a wonder are given, for an evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, instead of seeking after the cross and resurrection, for this is one of the reasons why deceiving spirits are leading the fold stray. They have Moses and the prophets; even more, they have the New Testament let them hear those.
And this is not a question of provision, for God provided for them through the 40 years, but they died nevertheless, in the desert.
