Welcome back to The Road2Wholeness Blog.  Thank you for taking a stroll with us today.  Mysteries in Common, A Teaching Series is almost at it's end, and we continue with "Mysteries in Common" the Blog Series here today.  

In the first blog of this series written in October 2020, we began to look into the Mysteries in Common between God's first two trumpet calls from the book of Genesis and the book of Exodus involving Noah and Moses.  Both men were servants of the Lord, and both men were prophets.  One is remembered for saving the first of humanity, and the other is remembered for freeing and preserving the Lord's inheritance which is called Israel.

If you started with us on this blog series in 2020, perhaps reread now to enjoy the rest of the series.  Let's begin with scripture.

In Genesis 9:18, it reads "The sons of Noah who came out of the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth."  Later it reads, Ham was the father of Canaan.  Therefore Noah and Moses' stories will always be relatives in God's saving grace as the Lord's chosen people in the book of Exodus subsequently inhabits the land of Canaan.  Still, the ability to see them differently may be the pure advantage that overcomes the wilderness.

In Matthew 6, scripture says.. "Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them...  when you give to the needy do not announce it with trumpets."  In God's second trumpet call then, He provides a wilderness.  In a forty year experience in the wilderness before being given the land of Canaan, the Lord is saying, "Do not break your oath, but fulfill to the Lord the vows you have made."  Here the Lord makes clear the stream of life beyond Noah's soil and the hardened soil of the desert.  

To see these Mysteries in Common listen to the word of the Lord spoken to Noah and his sons in Genesis 9:9-11.  It reads, "I now establish my covenant with you and with your descendants after you and with every living creature that was with you.  Never again will all life be destroyed by the waters of a flood; never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth."  

In a near translation, in Exodus, The Israelites are then made to cross through the Red Sea without a reed in sight, and walk on dry ground.  In the wilderness, a new Arc of the Covenant is built.  The Remnant becomes the Lord's inheritance, and there is no 'people covenant' but instead it's land, milk, and honey.  Therein, "do not throw your pearls to pigs" is magnified, and the land is the spoken authority by which God hears the footsteps of his great purpose.  He hears them as 144,000-- The 12 Tribes, and as one prepared to follow God.

With this, the Lord leaves behind the olive branch which is former to the believer's ear to bring forth an unknown ear.  Yet, it was there on the precipice of inhabiting the promise land that The Remnant was given permission to destroy the former inhabitants of the land of Canaan; a people stemming from the Lord's first attempt to save humanity.  

Join us again soon for the final blog of this series.

Remember to go within that you may never go without.  The God within you awaits you.  Until our paths collide again, I wish you... Peace, Love, Life, and Complete Wholeness in Christ.
