Grand Rising Fiveamprayer family!! Happy Preparation Day!! Get ready to enter into His Sweet Shabbat Rest! He gives Shalom that surpasses all Understanding!! Lets continue our study on His Covenant! This is the preparation instructions for the Bride!! We have a everlasting Covenant!! Lets learn from Israel as our example!! The Old Covenant: Israel's Failure in the Wilderness! We are reminded ( 1 Corinthians 10:11, Hebrews 4:11) that Israel's failure to enter the Promise Land is for our example, and learning. So we better look closely at this issue. An entire generation of Israelites ( except Joshua and Caleb) failed to enter into the Promised Land in that day, due to disobedience. They were refused entry into the Promised Land due to disobedience of YAH'S Commandments, Statutes, and Precepts! We can understand the bigger picture, that YAH'S purpose for the Promised Land was that they might observe His statues, and keep His Laws! This is simply a more detail description of the Terms and Conditions that were given to Abraham and to his Seed-- the condition called Keeping The Way Of YAH!! YAH's stated purpose for His people is not just a description given for the Israelites in that earlier day, but Is YAH'S purpose for His Redeemed, New Covenant people today! This purpose is a detailed description of the daily walk of those who are in YAHUSHA, and describes those who will be allowed to enter in. Like the Israelites in the Wilderness, many Believers in our day may fail to enter in for the same reason of disobedience , because they have been given wrong information by their spiritual Leaders! To summarize the experience of Israel in the Wilderness, we may say that they have been given the Commandments, Statues, and Precepts, written by YAHUSHA'S own finger, on external tablets of stone. It was because they did not take His Commandments to heart, and did not mix them with faith, that they disobeyed His Commandments. As a result, most of them were refused entry into the Promised Land of their inheritance, that had been promised to Abraham and his Seed! Of that original generation, only Joshua and Caleb were allowed into the Promised Land. Together Joshua and Caleb are a prophetic picture for us today, of those who will enter and they reveal how the Bridegroom and Bride will enter together, through obedience!!! We better learn from our forefathers!!!! ALL PRAISES TO THE MOST HIGH YAH!!
