Jesus and Our Ancestors - Pt 6

Jesus: The Shadows Substance - Message 26 - Jesus and Our Ancestors - Part 6 - Hebrews 11:30-32. Faith and Conquest. In the journey of the faithful recorded for us in Hebrews 11 we make a rather large leap from the Israelites and Moses crossing the Red Sea in verse 29 all the way to the fall of Jericho in verse 30. That is a skip of well over 40 years. Why? What does that tell is about the generation that died in the wilderness? It shows us that those who left Egypt were not the ones who entered the Promised Land, except for Caleb and Joshua. Moses died before entering the Land as a direct result of his sinful behavior at Meribah (Numbers 20). The rest of the people died without entering the Land due to their lack of faith. They did not believe God and the result was that they did not enter the Land Promised to the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Now we come to the fall of Jericho and what a victory this was.
