Thanks be unto God. Wow. But an amazing God we serve. The angels bow before him.

Heaven and earth adore him. My God, my God. We thank him. We honor him. We bless him. He's amazing.

Well, our scripture lesson today comes from the 14th chapter of the book of numbers, Old Testament.

Don't ever throw away the Old Testament just because you've got a New Testament.

It is the old that gives context to the new.

Jesus in one of the few parables that he interprets for us in Matthew chapter 13, says out of a treasure they bring things old

and things new there are old treasures and new treasures the Old Testament is an

old treasure with spiritual principles that still speak to us and deal with the

human condition of where we are notice hear the word of the Lord then the Lord said

he's talking to Moses.

He said, I will pardon them as you have requested.

But as surely as I live and as surely as the earth is spilled with the Lord's glory,

not one of these people will enter that land.

They have seen, they've all seen my glorious presence and the miraculous signs that I performed both in Egypt and in the wilderness, but again and again they have tested me by refusing to listen to my voice.

They will never even see the land that I swore to give their ancestors. None of those who have treated me with contempt will ever enter it.

But my servant, Caleb, has a different attitude than the others have. He has remained loyal to me.

So I will bring him into the land he explored. His descendants will possess their full share of that land.

And you will all drop dead in the wilderness because you complained against me.

Every one of you who is 20 years old or older and was included in the registration will die.

You will not enter and occupy the land that I swore to give you.

The only exception will be Caleb, the son of Jeffenay, and Joshua, the son of none.

I'm talking today simply from the subject, different, different, different.
