After keeping the Passover, the Israelites were set free from the Egyptian slavery and started their journey to the Promised Land, Canaan. On their journey to the Promised Land, God put them in many different circumstances. Sometimes, they had to go through many sufferings such as hunger and thirst. They were suffered because of the heat of the day and cold of the night. And the bible teaches that all these happened to test their faith in God and after being tested and refined their faith could be made complete like pure silver or gold.

Deuteronomy 8:1 Be careful to follow every command I am giving you today, so that you may live and increase and may enter and possess the land the Lord promised on oath to your ancestors. 2 Remember how the Lord your God led you all the way in the wilderness these forty years, to humble and test you in order to know what was in your heart, whether or not you would keep his commands.

God tested them with many things and many situations ultimately to bless them by giving them the Promised Land as their inheritance just as He promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Deuteronomy 8:16 He gave you manna to eat in the wilderness, something your ancestors had never known, to humble and test you so that in the end it might go well with you.

However, many were disobedient and complained against God and their leader Moses. They did not pass the test and perished in the desert.

Hebrews 3:17 And with whom was he angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies perished in the wilderness? 18 And to whom did God swear that they would never enter his rest if not to those who disobeyed? 19 So we see that they were not able to enter, because of their unbelief.

Because of their unbelief and disobedience, they rebelled and perished in the desert. And Paul says these were given as example through which we who as God’s people are walking in the spiritual desert must learn lessons. (1 Corinthians 10:11) The life on this earth is the journey in the spiritual desert and God put us in many different situations to test us and to refine us that we may have firm and unswerving faith in God.

Through the 40-year desert life of the Israelites we must know that our faith can be made complete and perfect through the complete obedience. When our faith was made complete through obedience, we can enter the spiritual Promised Land, the Kingdom of Heaven.

2 Corinthians 10:5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. 6 And we will be ready to punish every act of disobedience, once your obedience is complete.

We should be obedient to the words of God. We should not be like those who disobeyed in the desert. The beautiful Promised Land, Heaven is near at hand. Let us go forward with the complete obedience to the words of Father and Mother who lead us to heaven.

    Amen! Obedience is essential and absolute requirements for the people who eagerly want to enter the kingdom of heaven. The history of 40 year desert life of Israel people is the lesson for us who are living in this last age of the Holy Spirit. We should take it into heart who could enter the land of promise Canaan. Those who followed God's words with firm faith. Let us be obedient to the words of God Elohim Heavenly Father and Mother so that we can be allowed to enter the spiritual Canaan, the kingdom of heaven.


  • 2020-12-22 11:41

    Amen!! We must obey all the commandments of God because what God commended us is for our salvation!! God takes care of us more than ourselves!!


  • 2020-12-22 11:50

    When we obey God's word absolutely, God will give many blessing to us.


  • 2020-12-22 12:07

    Whatever we keep the words of God,we can get salvation. Because God promised


  • 2020-12-22 12:09

    Amen. When only Christ live in us, then we can fully obey the words of God.


  • 2020-12-22 12:28

    According to the Bible's teachings, only those who following God with obedience could receive blessing from God. this means that we too should obey God for entering Heavenly Kingdom.


  • 2020-12-22 12:50

    Indeed, there exists great relationship between obedience and salvation!
    Obedience means that we're so humble before God and God's teachings while disobedience is against God the Savior. No one can be obedient to God when his heart is filled with his own thoughts.
    Salvation comes from God Almighty, not from mortal beings.
    Nevertheless, some people tend to cling to their own thoughts, ignoring God's teachings.
    God truly wants to know what is in our hearts through His commands.


  • 2020-12-22 12:50

    Amen. To obey God's words is to receive salvation. Let's have absolute faith.


  • 2020-12-22 12:59

    Amen! Father and Mother lead us on the way to be saved. Therefore, obeying the words of Father and Mother absolutely is the way to be saved.


  • 2020-12-22 13:18

    Amen!

    We must abandon our own thoughts. Instead, we should obey the Word of God to get salvation.


  • 2020-12-22 13:26

    Amen! We should never repeat the same mistakes like the Israelites. The Bible teaches us that only those who follow the will of God can be allowed to enter the kingdom of heaven, so we should obey the words of God.


  • 2020-12-22 13:40

    We all sinned in the heaven by disobeying God. We should never do it again!! Let us follow every word of God and go back to our Heavenly Home together.


  • 2020-12-22 13:41

    If we believe in God and love God, we must obey God's word no matter what God says. Because it is the way of salvation.


  • 2020-12-22 13:44

    When discontent is full, pride arises. If you always serve our Elohim God with a grateful heart, dissatisfaction and pride will disappear and you will feel humble. I always thanks to Heavenly parents for giving me eternal life.


  • 2020-12-22 13:44

    We should never forget that God is always watching us in every circumstances. Even though we face hardships and troubles, we should still be Thankful to God because this is what God wants from us. We should surely put away our own thoughts and arrogance and just follow our Elohim God.


  • 2020-12-22 13:46

    Life on this earth is not satisfied. It is the time in the earth where we live in always hard, suffering, and full of complaining. We shouldn't be fools who struggle with the moment and complain about the moment and let go of the eternal because of the satisfaction of the moment. Let's look at the promised heaven always before our eyes. Let us enter the eternal heaven prepared by our Heavenly Father by fully following Heavenly Mother, who walks on the path of sacrifice to lead us to Heaven in any condition and environment. Animo!!!


  • 2020-12-22 13:46

    God forgave our sins. So we should obey all the Words of God to receive salvation. And we repay the grace of God by keeping the God's teachings. And then we can enter the kingdom of heaven. Let's follow God and receive salvation.


  • 2020-12-22 13:53

    Amen! As it is the time that the Kingdom of Heaven is near at hand, we should remember the history of Israelites recorded in the Bible so that we do not make same mistakes again. Even though there are many trials and hardships, let's overcome and enter the Kingdom of Heaven!!!


  • 2020-12-22 13:58

    Souls like us who have sinned in heaven and expelled from heavenly Eden cannot find a way to go back to heaven no matter what number. No one can tell us this way except God the Father and God the Mother. If so, how can we find a way to do so if we don't believe and obey God's Word and have complaints and doubts? Basically, God the Father and God the Mother want to tell us all the mysteries of Heaven. You should be able to believe without seeing it. And I am sure that people who do not believe will know how to go to Heaven if they believe and follow the words of Elohim God unconditionally, even if they do not believe.

    The history of Israel is a prophecy about spiritual Israelites. There were two groups among the Israelite in the desert, one was perished, the other was saved and entered Canaan. Let's look into the reason written in the Bible and follow the example of success.


  • 2020-12-22 17:03

    To receive salvation, we need God's wisdom. Only when we listen the word of God and put the word into practice, we could obtain the salvation of our souls!


  • 2020-12-22 22:48

    We must prepare to go to Heaven, the promised land. How can I do it? The Old Testament is a mirror and teaches us. It is obeying, giving thanks, and keeping the Word of God.


  • 2020-12-22 23:37

    Amen! We should first trust in God who knows every situation where we are. Let's follow God and obey God's words while walking in the spiritual desert.


  • 2020-12-23 00:54

    As it was recorded in Deut. 8:2, We need to remember why God led the Isralites all the way in wilderness forty years in the age of Father.
    Still Todays, God humble and test us in order to know whether we would keep his commands or not!
    let us obey and keep all of God's law and Words so that enter the Kingdom of heaven all together.


  • 2020-12-23 01:30

    The beginning of obedience is to give up my pride and stubbornness.

    So it's not easy, but it's a path to blessing.


  • 2020-12-23 06:39

    Right! We should follow the words of God.


  • 2021-01-01 03:28

    As God said in the Book of Samuel, "To obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed is better than the fat of rams." we have to pay full attention to God's words and try to keep His will as God's people. Let's obey the God's commands and preach to the whole world.
