I had the exact same thoughts about persons who are satisfied with the miraculous in the wilderness rather than the glory of the promised land. Many do not know that God is gracious even to unbelivers who are living in the wilderness. The warning that needs to be given is that they died in the wilderness. Our Lord said that He was the True Bread that came down from heaven; eat of Him and you will not die. i am ready to enter the promise land which I believe is Christ Himself. Thanks for your articles. It is great to know there are others thinking the same way. As a local pastor that is my desire for congregation - that we all see Christ in us as the hope of glory. He wants to live His life through us. We are His body and His Spirit in His body is the very life of the body. You must have been in my mind.

He cares little obout religeous matters and buildings tything and other laws and regulations. He is a son of the living God and cares nil about his own life. The word of God did not place first some to be apostles for just 50 years or so, they are the ones to be teaching the body of Christ, the equipers. Where are they? The Holy Spirit is breking down the religeous walls and will restore His prophets and apostles. We need the apostle back in the body, he is the one that will show the people how to be free in Christ.

The Old Testament stories are for this purpose: “Now all these things happened to them for examples: and they are written for our admonition [warning], upon whom the ends of the world are come” (1 Cor 10:11). There is much prophetic context to be gained for our current Kingdom Age by looking at the Old Testament to find analogous prophetic instruction. Of course, the most part of the book (Heaven's Underground Blueprint) is biblical doctrine for "reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works" (2 Tim 3:17). However, the prophetic analogies are also very handy in understanding where we are at in history, and why we are there. Peace Bretto A brief response to Davemurray,

I once was prompted by the HOLY SPIRIT to look our church taking Holy Communion and consider if i thought what i saw in front of me was a good representation of the Bride of the CHRIST. This question has reshaped me and my thinking in many many ways. What i love about our GOD is there is so much more to come, the Bride is getting more and more beautiful, especially on the inside, to which i feel counts the most. Lets dress and live as the Bride like the greatest wedding is yet to come, what we have seen is really cool but the best is yet to come. See i made all things new.....JESUS the CHRIST. Bretto, i love it.

It's all about loving JESUS and JESUS loving us and when that happens the first commandment is filled, fill the first and the second is filled "go ye into the world and preach the gospel".....I never sold my wilderness experiences short, they bring us into the Promised Land.

Especially to the last bit. Keen to hear more though about the theological basis of the current church age being synonymous with Israel's wilderness experience, I'm still a bit wonky on it yet. Looking forward to the book! "for now i know inpart but then i shall know fully!!" Cheers, dave Amen! Especially to the last bit.
