Editor's Notes
The land between is a metaphor for transitions is life.
Moving from here to there. For the Israelites, their wilderness wandering was not intended to be a waste but was intended to be a time of building the foundation for being God’s holy people. They left Egypt acclimated to the world of idolatry. They were about to inherit a promised land flowing with milk and honey living in the presence of the only true God and they had to develop their spiritual foundation to learn to love and obey God.
It was in this wilderness that God revealed his character and his presence and his plan. As the story continues we see the complaining about the manna intensify. We saw their complaint about the manna wishing for the leeks and meat of Egypt but God revealed what was truly in their heart…they felt they were better off without God. Now their complaints are directed at Moses. Moses prays:
Nu 11:14 I cannot carry all these people by myself; the burden is too heavy for me. Nu 11:15 If this is how you are going to treat me, put me to death right now--if I have found favor in your eyes--and do not let me face my own ruin." Nu 11:16 The LORD said to Moses: "Bring me seventy of Israel's elders who are known to you as leaders and officials among the people. Have them come to the Tent of Meeting, that they may stand there with you. Nu 11:17 I will come down and speak with you there, and I will take of the Spirit that is on you and put the Spirit on them. They will help you carry the burden of the people so that you will not have to carry it alone. Ex 3:6 Then he said, "I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob." At this, Moses hid his face, because he was afraid to look at God. Ex 3:7 The LORD said, "I have indeed seen the misery of my people in Egypt. I have heard them crying out because of their slave drivers, and I am concerned about their suffering. Mt 6:25 "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Mt 6:26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Mt 6:27 Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? Mt 6:28 "And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Mt 6:29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. Mt 6:30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? Mt 6:31 So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' Mt 6:32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. Lk 11:3 Give us each day our daily bread.
Eph 3:18that you may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, Eph 3:19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge--that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
Heb 12:5 And you have forgotten that word of encouragement that addresses you as sons: "My son, do not make light of the Lord's discipline, and do not lose heart when he rebukes you, Heb 12:6 because the Lord disciplines those he loves, and he punishes everyone he accepts as a son." Heb 12:11 No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.
1Co 10:11 These things happened to them as examples and were written down as warnings for us, on whom the fulfillment of the ages has come. 2Ti 3:16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 2Ti 3:17 so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
