We are going spiritual journey to go back to kingdom of heaven.
Let's think about overseas trip.
We need to prepare a lots of things for that country.
If you miss something, you must have trouble.
In the same way we need to prepare well for spiritual journey to the kingdom of heaven.
This is very long term travel.
We prepare firm faith, knowledge of truth, preaching , prayer and passion.
Nowadays so many people go to eternal death without knowing God the Father and God the Mother.
All of us diligently let them know Christ Ahn Sahng Hong and New Jerusalem Mother.

We are spiritual travelers.
Actually, we were an angel of heaven.
But we expelled from heaven because of our sin.
Even though we were sinner, we should go back to our spiritual hometown.
How can we return to our spiritual hometown?
Only God can lead us to our spiritual hometown through the God's feast.
Who will allow God's feast for our salvation?
He is the Christ AhnSahngHong.
When we believe the Christ AhnSahngHong, we can be saved, and can return to our spiritual hometown.

Life on Earth is not our home.
Our eternal home is in heaven.
Let's overcome all the difficulties and hardships and go to heaven.

We should understand the prophesy of journey in the desert is the copy and the shadow. We know that all the things in the bible is the lesson for us. We also have a destination of our life. It is the heaven. So we should do as the people who entered the Canaan. Let us focus in what we should do and what we should should have in mind.

I was so touched about the quotes: "We are travelling in the spiritual desert of faith."
The bible teaches us that the earth is not our home.
The bible said: Our home is heaven!
In order to go to our home heaven, we must believe Christ Ahnsahnghong.

As you said, their journey was not easy, but it was a time of testing, training, and transformation by God. He wanted to teach them to trust Him, obey Him, and worship Him alone. He also wanted to prepare them for the Promised Land, where they would inherit His blessings and fulfill His purposes.
You are right that our life is a journey, not a destination. We are pilgrims and strangers in this world, looking forward to our heavenly home.
God the Father and God the Mother are with us, They love us, and They has a plan for us for Heavenly home.

Life on this earth is the life of a stranger. Eternal heaven is the final destination of our life.
Rather than settling for a temporary life, I will live with gratitude toward my heavenly home

All the forefathers of faith had to go through many sufferings. But they overcame with the hope for heaven. Our life on this earth is temporary. And our eternal home is waiting for us. We should finish our journey without any fail. We should not be tempted by the things on this earth.

When I compare their appearances in the past with mine, I can see that they are frighteningly similar.
So, I think God gave me a lesson to look at them and gain enlightenment.
I must always have a grateful heart in my earthly life.
