men of Faith will head God's list of chiefs.

I want to share what i shared with AI cell recently:

Those who have FAITH will possess the Land! (those who possess faith will possess God's promise)

Just want to recap and share something the Lord pointed out to me during scripture reading. Look at Numbers 13:3-16 and compare it with Numbers 34:16-29. What would you discover? Remember that there is significance in order of things which are being listed. The first list (num 13) was an order of birthright in accordance to the law. The chief of Reuben came first because Reuben was the firstborn of Jacob. The second list had the tribe of Judah, led by Caleb representing the new generation that was to possess the land. What does this tells us? Why the discrepancy? The first generation of leaders could never enter the promised land without faith. The way they were being listed tells us about what religion is: following the law (according to birthrights), rituals or routine blindly without any hint of any exercise of faith. In contrast, Joshua's generation was headed by a good old man. Not just a man but a man full of faith and trusted God. His name was Caleb, of the tribe of Judah. We know well that Caleb and Joshua were the only two who believed God for the promised land when the first generation of the chiefs failed to do so.

Conclusion: Numbers 13 shows us that religion or law or faithlessness will never get us anywhere in God's Kingdom. But God makes a very clear point in Numbers 34 that the generation which enters God's fullness must have faith. The order of chiefs for Joshua's generation is an order, led by FAITH, not law.

Let us remember: the Just shall live by Faith! 2 Cor 5:7
