Numbers chapter 26, verses 64 and 65.

But among these, there was not one of those listed by Moses and Aaron the priest,

who had listed the people of Israel in the wilderness of Sinai.

For the Lord had said of them, they shall die in the wilderness.

Not one of them was left, except Caleb, the son of Jepuna, and Joshua, the son of Nunn.

So what happened earlier in the book of numbers is now becoming a reality.

Like the people of God who are going to enter into the promised land

include no names for among those who rebelled against God at Kadesh Barnea.

The only names of people who were alive on that day and will go into the

promised land are Caleb and Joshua. Because they trusted in God and obeyed God, they would

experience the blessing of God. Every single other person, adult, would die in the wilderness.

Not one of them got to experience God's blessing.

Like it couldn't be any clearer.

God help us to learn this.

Obedience leads to blessing.

Disobedience forfeits blessing.

Like it's that simple.

And blessing in the most comprehensive way. So don't, don't read into this,

uh, like some kind of health and wealth, name it, claim it, kind of prosperity theology that is

totally bogus and misses the teaching of scripture. So it's not if you obey God, everything will go well for you.

You'll have all kinds of good health and more money in this world and more stuff in this world.
