We believe there are some noteworthy parallels between the experiences of Moses and Paul. Because the People rebelled against Moses, God's appointed leader, God rejected them and they ended up in the Wilderness. The Apostle Paul's ministry throughout the Acts period was met with much opposition from the Jews, until God's patience ran out and all ministry to Israel ceased, as recorded in Acts 28. But this was not the end. Paul was given a new revelation and unique message for all, whether Jew or Gentile. With Moses, the Promised Land was on earth. But with Paul the destiny, or "The Hope" of the believers of this "New Gospel" given to him had no place in the earth, but in a never before revealed habitation, a spiritual Promised Land, so to speak, in the Super Heavenlies! And just as the People rejected Moses and that generation failed to enter their Promised Land, so the great family of believers as a whole have rejected Paul and his new and unique message. With Moses and that generation, only Joshua and Caleb entered the Promised Land. And so down through the centuries there have been few Joshuas and Calebs, so to speak, who have believed and embraced Paul's gospel. Most wander aimlessly in a religious Wilderness. Yes, with choices come consequences.
