Corinthians 10:5
But with many of them
God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.
1.”But with many of
them God was not well pleased…”
a.
There
were approximately 3 million people that came out of Egypt, when God delivered
them, but of that 3 million only two adults made it into the promise land. The
rest of the people who made it in were those who were under 20 at the time of
the sending of the spies.
1).
Numbers 14:26-33 “And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
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.
Say
unto them, As truly as I live , saith the LORD, as ye have spoken in mine ears,
so will I do to you:
Your
carcases shall fall in the wilderness; and all that were numbered of you,
according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, which have
murmured against me.
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.
But
your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, them will I bring in, and
they shalldnow the land which ye have despised.
But
as for you, your carcases, they shall
fall in this wilderness.
And
your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear your
whoredoms, until your carcases be wasted in the wilderness.
After
the number of the days in which ye searched the land, even forty days, each day
for a year, ye shall bear your iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall know
my breach of promise.”
b.
The
“many” were actually all over 20 years of age, at the time of the sending of
the spies, except two, Joshua and Caleb.
