1 | Mitch, How is this promise for you (all) | Ex 23:25 | Lissamz | 146668 | ||
Hello Saints, I only saw this question presented about the Promised Land (I didn't review the entire thread). But I would like to refer to Josh. 1:13- "Remember the word which Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, saying, 'The LORD your God gives you rest and will give you this land.'... Isn't the promise of the Promised Land linked to the rest that we now have in Christ... Hebrews 4:1-3- Therefore, let us fear if, while a promise remains of entering His rest, any one of you may seem to have come short of it. For indeed we have had good news preached to us, just as they also; but the word they heard did not profit them, because it was not united by faith in those who heard. For we who have believed enter that rest, just as He has said, "AS I SWORE IN MY WRATH,THEY SHALL NOT ENTER MY REST," although His works were finished from the foundation of the world. Wasn't the Promised Land a foreshadow of the rest that we receive through Christ through faith? Also, Hebrews 4:8-11- For if Joshua had given them rest, He would not have spoken of another day after that. So there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God. For the one who has entered His rest has himself also rested from his works, as God did from His. Therefore let us be diligent to enter that rest, so that no one will fall, through following the same example of disobedience. So, can't this promise actually still be for we believer's today in this sense?? hidden in Christ, Lissa |

2 | Mitch, How is this promise for you (all) | Ex 23:25 | EdB | 146690 | ||
Lissa "Wasn't the Promised Land a foreshadow of the rest that we receive through Christ through faith?" Yes the Promised Land was a foreshadow of the rest in Christ. Just as the Sabbath rest was a foreshadow of the rest in Christ. So because it was a foreshadow, the promise is for believers today. However the actual land was not the foreshadow but rather the rest therefore the land belongs to who it was first given and that is Israel. I hope that answers your question. EdB |
