Resurrection Life of Jesus Church

SENTENCING THE PEOPLE
The patience of the Godhead had reached a boiling point and Jesus pronounced judgment on the Hebrews. Numbers 14:11-12

Moses was filled with grief and boldly told Jesus that if the Israelites were wiped out, the rest of the world say that God was not strong enough to make His promise come to pass. verses 13-16

It must have cut Jesus deeply to hear Moses plead on behalf of his people, and at the same time, Jesus realized that by obliterating all the Hebrews, the Godhead would have to admit that Lucifer had outsmarted them.

Moses continued to intercede and appeal to the mercy of Jesus. verses 17-19

Jesus told Moses that He had heard his petition, and while the people would be allowed to live despite their unbelief, the men and women twenty years and older would die in the wilderness over the next forty years.

Those under the age limit would suffer for the sins of the adults as they wandered alongside them in the wilderness until they had all passed away during the next four decades.

Joshua and Caleb were the only adults from the faithless generation that was allowed into the Promised Land. verses 20-38

WALKING IN THE FLESH
The people mourned greatly when they heard God’s judgment. They did not want to spend forty years in the wilderness and decided to take matters in their own hands by moving in and possessing the Promised Land. Moses warned them it would be a disastrous failure but Lucifer deceived them again and they were soundly beaten by the Canaanites. verses 39-45

OPEN REBELLION
The Devil was determined to continue derailing the plans of God and moved upon Korah (Moses’ cousin) to foment a rebellion with a large number of tribal heads.
Numbers 16:1-3

Lucifer was determined to destroy Moses and his ability to lead the people and put him on the defensive. verses 4-12

Dathan and Abiram defiantly told Moses that they would not come and stand before him. verses 12-14

Moses was filled with wrath and asked God for vindication. verses 15-19

Jesus stepped in and was ready to exterminate all the people until Moses interceded for the people again. verses 20-22

Moses asked for swift justice on the rebels and Jesus quickly killed them. verses 23- 35

The survivors became angry because they falsely believed Moses had worked some kind of magic and killed his opponents. verse 41

Jesus had to intervene again and was ready to deal with the rebellious people. Moses intervened but a plague was released upon the camp that killed 14,700 men. This was in addition to the followers of Korah who had previously been swallowed by the earth prior to this event. verses 45-50

THE FINAL LAW FOR ISRAEL
It didn’t matter whether the Hebrews were loved or punished, neither course of action yielded a favorable result. They were hell bent on doing their own thing. As a result, the Godhead decided to set forth a spiritual law which would allow individuals to choose blessings or curses in their life.

Jesus instructed Moses to write down a spiritual law of blessings and curses, allowing the Israelites to be treated according to their free will.

1. A person can be blessed. Deuteronomy 28:1-14

2. The same person can choose to be cursed. verses 15-68

SUMMARY
As the Godhead paused the virtual time run again, they realized humanity’s free will was going to doom most of them to death and destruction. The Godhead could not force mankind to believe in God since Lucifer would object to it.
When people turn to Satan’s lies, it invokes God’s anger and He sends strong delusion as a judgment. 2 Thessalonians 2:8-13

Most people will end up in hell and later the Lake of Fire. Matthew 7:13-14
