You must not become the ones who will repeat the same sinful path as the Israelites walked

Who destroyed the future destiny that Jesus was to tread? They were the people who were chosen to fulfill the will of God on behalf of God, human history, and all humanity. They should have led a life to fulfill God’s will and set the standard of life of faith at the time, but failed to do so. Just as the Israelites, who should have upheld the Will that Moses maintained, caused him to perish in the wilderness, the same chosen people who should have upheld the will of Jesus killed him on the cross because of their faithlessness.

Inheriting Moses’ will, Joshua and Caleb led the second generation of the Israelites into the land of Canaan. Similarly, today, the second Joshua and Caleb inherit the will of Jesus and lead the second generation of disciples and apostles to enter the land of Canaan on the worldwide level and build the Kingdom of Heaven on earth in that land. This is the hope of Jesus, and the ideal of the Second Coming.

Thus today we who are called to fulfill the will of God should understand the historical background of the providence and should never commit the same sins on the level of the people. You must not become the ones who will repeat the same sinful path as the Israelites walked.
