“Some of the Israelites that passed over Jordan perhaps were so stupid, and so little affected with this great favour of God to them, that they felt no concern to have it remembered; while others, it may be, were so much affected with it, and had such deep impressions made upon them by it, that they thought there needed no memorial of it to be erected, the heart and tongue of every Israelite in every age would be a living lasting monument of it. But God, knowing their frame, and how apt they had been soon to forget his works, ordered an expedient for the keeping of this in remembrance to all generations, that those who could not, or would not, read the record of it in the sacred history, might come to the knowledge of it by the monument set up in remembrance of it.” -Matthew Henry

0:00.0 | All right, listen, guys, I get it. Many of you are unable to financially support this ministry |
0:04.7 | because you're spending your cash in your lives on raising young children in the fear and |
0:09.6 | admonition of the Lord. Praise God for you and that endeavor. However, algorithms are a thing. |
0:16.3 | Shadow banning, sadly, is a thing. And one major way that you can help to expand the reach and effectiveness |
0:23.2 | of this ministry that doesn't cost you a dime is by spending just a few moments leaving us a five-star |
0:30.2 | review. Also, perhaps even more effective than that, you can share our podcast with a friend. We hope |
0:36.9 | you'll take the time to do so. Thank you so much. God bless. |
0:42.3 | Jesus said, man cannot live on bread alone, but from every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. |
0:48.2 | You're listening to Daily Truth. Matthew Henry says the following. |
0:55.5 | Some of the Israelites that passed over Jordan perhaps were stupid, silly, |
1:01.7 | and so little affected with this great favor, this miraculous sign of God to them, |
1:08.3 | that they felt no concern to have it remembered. |
1:12.2 | While others, in contrast, it may be, were so much affected with this miracle, the parting |
1:19.9 | of the Jordan River, so much affected with it, and had such deep impressions made upon |
1:25.9 | them by it that they thought there needed no memorial of it to be erected. |
1:31.9 | The heart and tongue of every Israelite and every age would be a living, lasting monument of it. |
1:39.3 | So on the one hand, stopping here for a moment, in this quote from Matthew Henry, |
1:43.4 | on the one hand, it was probably |
1:45.8 | very likely that at least some of the people of Israel were unimpressed. And they should have been |
1:52.8 | impressed. It's a miraculous sign. And yet, miraculous signs have always been dismissed, waved away by unbelieving people. |
2:05.8 | And we know that there were many in Israel that were a part of God's covenant people. |
2:12.1 | Outwardly, they were children of Israel according to the flesh, but they were not true children of Israel, |
