82 - Into an Inheritance

Emblem of Israel

Chareen's Thoughts

• Today's reading is about the division of land and cities among the tribes of Israel.
• The land and cities divided by lot before the Lord:
Judah
Josheph's sons: Ephraim & Manasseh (extra land allotted)
Levites no land but cities
Gad
Reuben
Benjamin
Simeon 
• The tabernacle was set up at Shiloh

I was feeling a little bored today reading all the land distribution records but the more I thought about the records the more I realised that these words are the fulfillment of the Lords promises.  They are the record of His faithfulness.

Did you know that the word inheritance appears 190 times in the Amplified bible ?

1 Peter 1:3-5

³Praised (honored, blessed) be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah)! By His boundless mercy we have been born again to an ever-living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

    ⁴[Born anew] into an inheritance which is beyond the reach of change and decay [imperishable], unsullied and unfading, reserved in heaven for you,

    ⁵Who are being guarded (garrisoned) by God's power through [your] faith [till you fully inherit that ^[a]final] salvation that is ready to be revealed [for you] in the last time.
