Bread From Heaven - 2004/09/16 20:47
Hi Friends! I would like to share a thought with you all and hear your thoughts as well.
When Joshua led Israel into the promise land there are some interesting events, (Joshua 5). What I want to focus on is the Manna ceasing. (The circumcision, passover and the prince of the army are all relevant but for the purpose of being specific I'll stick to the Manna)
As we know, Jesus is the bread from heaven, Jesus fulfilled the law and the prophets, and Jesus is the means thru which Jehovah has spoken to us at the end of these days. Reasoning on the matter, the manna was food for God's people while they were in the wilderness - spiritually speaking manna is spiritual food. And the only spiritual food we need today is that associated with Jesus - because he is the embodiment of truth; the exact representation of God...etc.
In his letter to Pergamum, Jesus said, 'to him that conquers I will give some of the hidden Manna...and a white pebble...' From here, there are at least 2 VERY interesting thoughts.
1- After the faithful conquer, there are still hidden truths (Daniel 12:4)
2- After the faithful conquer, they recieve confirmation of their reward, not the reward itself.
There's more but I would like to hear the thoughts of others...
