Now, let's talk about the unfolding. Now, let's talk about the unfolding. Now, let's talk about the wilderness for a second because I always wilderness for a second because I always wilderness for a second because I always thought thought thought that the wilderness was punishment. that the wilderness was punishment. that the wilderness was punishment. Because you've read it before that the Because you've read it before that the Because you've read it before that the promised land was a much shorter promised land was a much shorter promised land was a much shorter distance. There was a shorter track to distance. There was a shorter track to distance. There was a shorter track to the promised land than the track that the promised land than the track that the promised land than the track that the children of Israel ultimately took. the children of Israel ultimately took. the children of Israel ultimately took. And somehow, you know, in my ignorance, And somehow, you know, in my ignorance, And somehow, you know, in my ignorance, in my naivee, I thought, well, if there in my naivee, I thought, well, if there in my naivee, I thought, well, if there was a shorter track, then the reason why was a shorter track, then the reason why was a shorter track, then the reason why they had to go this way and they were in they had to go this way and they were in they had to go this way and they were in it so long is because they were it so long is because they were it so long is because they were rebellious or God was punishing them.
rebellious or God was punishing them. rebellious or God was punishing them. And that's only partially true. And that's only partially true. And that's only partially true. >> It's only partially true. The reality of >> It's only partially true. The reality of >> It's only partially true. The reality of it is they had to go through the it is they had to go through the it is they had to go through the wilderness. wilderness. wilderness. >> Watch this.

They weren't ready to go >> to go. Come on. They weren't ready to go to the shorter track. You study it, it to the shorter track. You study it, it to the shorter track. You study it, it talks about it in, I believe it's in talks about it in, I believe it's in talks about it in, I believe it's in Exodus, one of them. It says they Exodus, one of them. It says they Exodus, one of them. It says they weren't ready because the Philistines weren't ready because the Philistines weren't ready because the Philistines were there and because watch this, they were there and because watch this, they were there and because watch this, they were underdeveloped were underdeveloped were underdeveloped >> that they would have gone in there and >> that they would have gone in there and >> that they would have gone in there and then returned back to Egypt. So, so the then returned back to Egypt. So, so the then returned back to Egypt. So, so the the wilderness was not a punishment. The the wilderness was not a punishment. The the wilderness was not a punishment. The wilderness was a place of development. wilderness was a place of development. wilderness was a place of development. >> Now, you might say, "What about the 40 >> Now, you might say, "What about the 40 >> Now, you might say, "What about the 40 years?" Okay, I get that. We look, we years?" Okay, I get that. We look, we years?" Okay, I get that. We look, we know that when the spies went out to spy know that when the spies went out to spy know that when the spies went out to spy out the land for 40 days and some of out the land for 40 days and some of out the land for 40 days and some of them came back, not all of them because them came back, not all of them because them came back, not all of them because two of them had the right idea, right? two of them had the right idea, right? two of them had the right idea, right? Joshua and Caleb, but but a lot the Joshua and Caleb, but but a lot the Joshua and Caleb, but but a lot the majority of them came back and said, "We majority of them came back and said, "We majority of them came back and said, "We can't do it." And then God says, "Yeah, can't do it." And then God says, "Yeah, can't do it." And then God says, "Yeah, you know what?" And so you're going to you know what?" And so you're going to you know what?" And so you're going to wander for so so the time the the length wander for so so the time the the length wander for so so the time the the length of time of time of time may have had to do with some degree of may have had to do with some degree of may have had to do with some degree of punishment. I'll give you that. But the punishment. I'll give you that. But the punishment. I'll give you that. But the wilderness itself was not punishment.
wilderness itself was not punishment. wilderness itself was not punishment. >> It was preparation. >> It was preparation. >> It was preparation. >> Hallelujah. track with me that that's a >> Hallelujah. track with me that that's a >> Hallelujah. track with me that that's a very very important distinction.
