Ever think about the spiritual journey the Hebrews went from Egypt to Caanan?
Here they are in Egypt, slaves with no end in sight, beaten down, overloaded (burdened down), and wishing someone would come and save them.
Doesn't that sound like us before we knew the Lord?
Next comes Moses and introduces the power of God, breaks the chains that bound the Hebrews, and leads them to the Red Sea.
Doesn't that sound like our spiritual walk to baptism? I know that there was many incredible miracles that took place to set me free.
Moses leads the people to Mount Sinai. There they learn of God's kingdom and some are baptised, where all could have been, in the spirit.
Some of us can attest to the baptism of the spirit and how God's kingdom is real and we are to learn to live in it by the power of the Holy Spirit.
During the 40 years in the wilderness the people are fed nothing but manna.
Manna is said to have tasted like two things - oil and honey, which reminds me of the anointing (oil) and promise of the kingdom to come (a little taste of heaven now). This is just enough to keep you going but not satisfy the appetite.
Before crossing the Jordon, they must first feast on bread. They sent over two witnesses to report back.
I think about the spiritual feasts that we need, in order to be ready to fight the victory that is already won, but not claimed. I think about the living bread that we are to need to be a part of us, for this victory. I think about how crossing Jordon means entering the promised land. I think about the two witnesses that have been in Canaan land and have come back with the report of the it flowing with milk and honey. We have two witnesses that will be reporting to us of the promised land here in the last days. We can also think of the "upon these two laws" hanging in our hearts which if we live them give us a life promised.
There was three tribes that did not want to live in the promised land.... Ruben, 1/2 Mannessah, and Gad.
We have believers today that do not cross into the promised "Israel". They would rather live on the east side of Jordon. If we look at the results of living on the wrong side, they were wiped out. It is very important that we live spiritual in God's kingdom (messianic judiasm style).
Those of some of the parallels that I noticed.
