Most people know of the story of ‘the spies.’
Most who have heard Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa before have probably even heard him refer to it as the ‘first recorded VOTE in history,’ too. And the wrong side won.
THIS year, though, the story has a “special resonance.” It hits even closer to home than ever.
Join Mark for a two-part look at parsha “Shalach Lekha,” (Numbers chapters 13 through 15) and a warning about a failure to “believe Him,” that is just as deadly today as it has ever been.
The Erev Shabbat overview and reading:
What has THIS story, about spies being sent into a land before the ‘mixed multitude’ go in themselves, have to do with ANYTHING happening today?
Mark suggests that sometimes we see things in history and prophecy that “rhyme,” but on the ‘opposite half-cycle,’ where some things are almost a mirror image, or inverted. Many of THOSE people saw His miracles withe their own eyes; many of us have seen a different set of miracles, and grew up in – by almost any measure – the greatest, freest, even most prosperous and advanced, country in history. Because it was built on what were once “self-evident Truths.”
But the question YHVH asks in Numbers 14:11 fits then and now:
“How long will this people DESPISE Me? …and not believe Me.”
Who Ya Gonna Believe – Me, or your Lyin’ Eyes?
