"38 years"


Dear John,
    I am sorry that I wasn't more specific when I wrote on the 38 years.  I was writing in "general terms" expecting the Doves to study it out for themselves. But....
    To be specific:
    Israel left Egypt and traveled to Mt. Sinai, reaching there in two months just as is stated in the Scriptures.  They remained in and around Mt Sinai for two years.  Then they were instructed to travel to Kadesh Barnea, where they were to launch their invasion of the Promised Land.  Instead, after the 10 spies brought back an evil report upon the land, they rebelled against the stated will of God, and He caused them to wander in the wilderness for thirty-eight more years.  See
Deuteronomy 2:14.
    Now is this plain enough for everyone?  If it's not, read Numbers 33.  It will give you a move by move (you know, like a blow by blow) description and you can fill in the time periods by STUDY.  Ok?

Thanks, Pastor Riley. It's much clearer now. :)
