This location is part of the final stages of their journey before entering the Promised Land. The name itself suggests a place associated with fig cakes, indicating a possible area of agricultural activity or a place known for such produce. This stage of the journey reflects the Israelites' transition from wandering to preparing to enter Canaan, symbolizing a move from dependence on God’s miraculous provision to a life of cultivation and settlement.<p><b>and camped in the mountains of Abarim</b><br>The mountains of Abarim are a range east of the Jordan River, offering a vantage point over the land of Canaan. This location is significant as it represents the threshold of the Promised Land. The Abarim range is historically and theologically important as it is associated with Moses' final days. It is here that Moses would view the land he would not enter, highlighting themes of promise and fulfillment, as well as the consequences of disobedience. The mountains serve as a place of reflection and anticipation for the Israelites.<p><b>facing Nebo</b><br>Mount Nebo is a peak within the Abarim range and holds great significance as the place where Moses viewed the Promised Land before his death. It is a site of prophetic fulfillment, as God had promised Moses he would see the land, though he would not enter it. This moment underscores the faithfulness of God in keeping His promises, even when human leaders fall short. Mount Nebo is also a type of Christ, as Moses, a mediator of the Old Covenant, points to Jesus, the mediator of the New Covenant, who leads His people into the ultimate Promised Land. The view from Nebo symbolizes hope and the future inheritance of God’s people.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/a/almon-diblathaim.htm">Almon-diblathaim</a></b><br>A location in the wilderness journey of the Israelites.
