• It is practically important to see that the wilderness is no part of God’s purpose; of His ways, a most important part. They were brought to God by redemption-Christ’s death and resurrection-but not in Canaan. The thief went straight to Paradise with Christ. He has made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light. See Exodus 3, 6 and 15 where there is no question of the wilderness; see, on the other hand, Deuteronomy 8, where it is reviewed when through it. For the difference of our spiritual judgment of ourselves, and God’s judgment of us, see Deuteronomy 9 and Numbers 23:21. (“Exodus 15” by J.N. Darby)
