DISOBEDIENCE: AT EVERY STAGE

(Message by Tanny Keng)


1. Disobedience

a) A bewildering characteristic of the wilderness Israelites — their frequent acts of disobedience.

2. At Every Stage

a) As we have seen, the period of Wandering in the Wilderness falls into three parts:

i) The three-month journey from the Red Sea to Sinai,

ii) The two-year encampment at Sinai,

iii) Wandering 38 years before entering the promised land.

b) Disobedience and rebellion characterize each of these periods:

c) After the Exodus the people were quick to start grumbling (Exodus 15).

d) At Sinai they made and worshiped a golden calf (Exodus 32). Nadab and Abihu did not abide by God's commandments for worship, but did as they saw fit (Leviticus 10).

e) After Sinai there were many instances of disobedience. 


The End ...
