Numbers 14, The children of Israel murmured against God

Numbers 14

Your Words Becomes Your Own Burden, If You Doubt God's Word

Jeremiah 23:33 And when this people, or the prophet, or a priest, shall ask thee, saying, What is the burden of the LORD? thou shalt then say unto them, What burden? I will even forsake you, saith the LORD.

Good reading Deuteronomy 1
What is the burden of the LORD?
I am against them that blame Me
How many people blame God, for their problems?
God said, Keep My Commandments and I will be with you
When God told the children of Israel to go into the promise land, what did they do?
They did not believe God, They sent men to spy out the land.
After God told them not to go into the promise land, they said = Now we will go into the promise land.
The end times are going to be as the days of Noah = What did Noah do?
Genesis 6:22 Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he.
How many went into the promise land in that generation?
Verse 24 = Only Caleb and verse 38 Joshua
Number 14:29 from twenty years old and upward, which have murmured against me will not go into the promise land
Because they didn't do as God told them to do.
What did God tell us?
Blessed are those that wait on Me
2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
Revelation 9:4 And it was commanded them (Satan and his angels) that they should not hurt the grass (flesh) of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.
Deuteronomy 1:41 Then ye answered and said unto me, We have sinned against the Lord, we will go up and fight, according to all that the Lord our God commanded us. And when ye had girded on every man his weapons of war, ye were ready to go up into the hill.
42 And the Lord said unto me, Say unto them, Go not up, neither fight; for I am not among you; lest ye be smitten before your enemies.
2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
Did God said, follow man that go out and act stupid?
If you are listening to most of the media, you are following Satan
4th trumpet = It's to make a choice, choose to follow God or Satan
The Seal of God In Your Forehead is the opposite of The mark of the beast
The Seal of God in your forehead = The truth of God's word in your forehead vs the mark of beast (Satan, false deception) in your forehead the deception of false teaching and the tradition of man in your forehead. (What happen in the garden? Satan Deceived Eve BY LIES)

Colossians 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.

2 Corinthians 11:3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent (Satan) beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.

Simply by removing the deception of false teaching and tradition of men and placing the Word of God in your forehead.

Numbers 14:1 And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night.

2 And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron: and the whole congregation said unto them, Would God that we had died in the land of Egypt! or would God we had died in this wilderness!

These saw God open the red sea, now they're murmured against Moses and God
They didn't believe God, they are listen to men
God told them He was going to give them this land, and He would go with them
When Satan appears in Jerusalem, are you going to follow God's Ways or You going to follow Satan?
Satan's going to pay all your bills, give you anything IF you worship him.

3 And wherefore hath the Lord brought us unto this land, to fall by the sword, that our wives and our children should be a prey? were it not better for us to return into Egypt?

When things didn't go their ways, what did they say?
It's would of been better for us to return into Egypt = the easy way out
When the 5th trumpet sounds, are you going to believe God and wait for God to tell us what to do?
God said, Elijah will come and lead the people back to Him, and the two witnesses will be with the elect.
They just witness the Red Sea open, and they were complaining, they wanted things to go their ways
Don't get catch up with the ways of the world, they will be following Satan
You got to believe God's going to be with us, remember Job, Daniel, etc..
You're going to go through tribulations

4 And they said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us return into Egypt.

5 Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel.

6 And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of them that searched the land, rent their clothes:

Caleb = Capable
Forcible = Possessing force; characterized by force, efficiency, or energy; powerful; efficacious; impressive; influential.
Joshua = Saviour, or whose help is God
Caleb and Joshua were a type of God's very elect at this time
1 Corinthians 10:11 Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.

7 And they spake unto all the company of the children of Israel, saying, The land, which we passed through to search it, is an exceeding good land.

8 If the Lord delight in us, then He will bring us into this land, and give it us; a land which floweth with milk and honey.

9 Only rebel not ye against the Lord, neither fear ye the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defence is departed from them, and the Lord is with us: fear them not.

Once the 5th trump sounds are you going to be as Caleb and Joshua?
What did God tell Satan and his angels?
Revelation 9:4 And it was commanded them (Satan and hid fallen angels) that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.
5 And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.
6 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.
Why do the seek death?
They don't have the seal of God in their forehead = They don't know what's happen or what to do.

10 But all the congregation bade stone them with stones. And the glory of the Lord appeared in the tabernacle of the congregation before all the children of Israel.

All the congregation bade stone them with stones

11 And the Lord said unto Moses, How long will this people provoke me? and how long will it be ere they believe me, for all the signs which I have shewed among them?

How long will this people provoke me?

12 I will smite them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of thee a greater nation and mightier than they.

13 And Moses said unto the Lord, Then the Egyptians shall hear it, (for thou broughtest up this people in thy might from among them;)

Moses said unto the Lord, Then the Egyptians shall hear it

14 And they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land: for they have heard that thou Lord art among this people, that thou Lord art seen face to face, and that thy cloud standeth over them, and that thou goest before them, by day time in a pillar of a cloud, and in a pillar of fire by night.

15 Now if thou shalt kill all this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of thee will speak, saying,

16 Because the Lord was not able to bring this people into the land which he sware unto them, therefore he hath slain them in the wilderness.

17 And now, I beseech thee, let the power of my Lord be great, according as thou hast spoken, saying,

18 The Lord is longsuffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation.

19 Pardon, I beseech thee, the iniquity of this people according unto the greatness of thy mercy, and as thou hast forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now.

20 And the Lord said, I have pardoned according to thy word:

21 But as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the Lord.

22 Because all those men which have seen my glory, and my miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice;

Exodus 14:11-12 - At Red Sea
Exodus 15:23-24 - At Marah
Exodus 16:2 - Wilderness of Sin
Exodus 16:20-27 - Twice about Manna
Exodus 16:20-27 - Twice about Manna
Exodus 17:1-3 At Rephidim
Exodus 32 - At Horeb (golden calf)
Numbers 11:1 - At Taberah
Numbers 11:1 - At Kibroth Hattaavah
Numbers 14:2 - Here, At Kadesh

23 Surely they shall not see the land which I sware unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me see it:

24 But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it.

25 (Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwelt in the valley.) Tomorrow turn you, and get you into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea.

26 And the Lord spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,

27 How long shall I bear with this evil congregation, which murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against me.

They didn't believe God, they rejected God.
God is saying, how long do you want Me to listen to them, which they murmur against Me

28 Say unto them, As truly as I live, saith the Lord, as ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you:

Verse 2, They wished they would of died in the land of Egypt!
Jeremiah 23:33 And when this people, or the prophet, or a priest, shall ask thee, saying, What is the burden of the LORD? thou shalt then say unto them, What burden? I will even forsake you, saith the LORD.
34 And as for the prophet, and the priest, and the people, that shall say, The burden of the LORD, I will even punish that man and his house.
They blamed God.

29 Your carcases shall fall in this wilderness; and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, which have murmured against me,

God told them, they would die in the wilderness, because they have murmured against me.
Twenty years old and upward, which have murmured against me,

30 Doubtless ye shall not come into the land, concerning which I sware to make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.

Caleb and Joshua was the only one that did not bring a false report
Joshua stood up for Caleb

31 But your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have despised.

32 But as for you, your carcases, they shall fall in this wilderness.

God said, No land for this people. they will die in the wilderness

33 And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear your whoredoms, until your carcases be wasted in the wilderness.

Your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years

34 After the number of the days in which ye searched the land, even forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall know my breach of promise.

God's plan was to bring Israel in the promise land
We are born with free will, it's up to you, God needs to know if you love Him.
Verse 2- They rejected God, and wanted to go back into Egypt.
40 is the number of probation

35 I the Lord have said, I will surely do it unto all this evil congregation, that are gathered together against me: in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.

The people gathered against Me, this is why they will die in the wilderness

36 And the men, which Moses sent to search the land, who returned, and made all the congregation to murmur against him, by bringing up a slander upon the land,

They lied about the promised land and cause the people to have unbelieve
God had promised them the victory, they didn't believe God

37 Even those men that did bring up the evil report upon the land, died by the plague before the Lord.

They brought a false evil report upon the land
Men that did bring up the evil report upon the land, died.
Because they mislead God's children. It does not matter what you put in front of your name, if you mislead God's children, God's going to correct you.
Jeremiah 23:1 Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith the LORD.

38 But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of the men that went to search the land, lived still.

39 And Moses told these sayings unto all the children of Israel: and the people mourned greatly.

God's anger against them

40 And they rose up early in the morning, and gat them up into the top of the mountain, saying, Lo, we be here, and will go up unto the place which the Lord hath promised: for we have sinned.

It's too late!!!
They still do not believe
What did God tell them in verse 34 After the number of the days in which ye searched the land, even forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall know my breach of promise.
verse 35 I the Lord have said, I will surely do it unto all this evil congregation, that are gathered together against me: in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.
Verse 42 Go not up, for the Lord is not among you; that ye be not smitten before your enemies.

41 And Moses said, Wherefore now do ye transgress the commandment of the Lord? but it shall not prosper.

42 Go not up, for the Lord is not among you; that ye be not smitten before your enemies.

God told them to go back, for He is not with you

43 For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you, and ye shall fall by the sword: because ye are turned away from the Lord, therefore the Lord will not be with you.

Because you have turned away from the Lord, He will not be with you.
What did God tell them?
Verse 3 And wherefore hath the Lord brought us unto this land, to fall by the sword, that our wives and our children should be a prey? were it not better for us to return into Egypt?
First they didn't believe God when God told them to go into the promise land
Then they decided to go into the promise land and God told them Not To Go, and they went

44 But they presumed to go up unto the hill top: nevertheless the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and Moses, departed not out of the camp.

Now they want to go and claim the land, but it's too late.
God's already told them, I will not be with you.

45 Then the Amalekites came down, and the Canaanites which dwelt in that hill, and smote them, and discomfited them, even unto Hormah.

Discomfited = # 3807 to bruise or violently strike: crushed, destroy, discomfit, smite
Because God was not with them, because they did not believe what God said.
Deuteronomy 1:44 And the Amorites, which dwelt in that mountain, came out against you, and chased you, as bees do, and destroyed you in Seir, even unto Hormah.
45 And ye returned and wept before the Lord; but the Lord would not hearken to your voice, nor give ear unto you.
