The Israelites were on a journey from Egypt to the Promised Land, a journey that symbolizes the Christian's spiritual journey from sin to salvation. The "not yet" suggests a period of waiting and preparation, reflecting the Christian life as a pilgrimage toward eternal rest.<p><b>to the resting place</b><br>The "resting place" refers to the land of Canaan, which God promised to the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. It symbolizes peace and security after the Israelites' long period of wandering in the wilderness. In a broader theological context, it prefigures the ultimate rest found in Christ (<a href="/hebrews/4-9.htm">Hebrews 4:9-10</a>), where believers find spiritual rest from the works of the law.<p><b>and the inheritance</b><br>The "inheritance" is the land of Canaan, a tangible sign of God's covenant with Israel. Inheritance in biblical terms often signifies a gift from God, not earned but given by grace. This concept is echoed in the New Testament, where believers are described as heirs with Christ (<a href="/romans/8-17.htm">Romans 8:17</a>), receiving an eternal inheritance in the kingdom of God.<p><b>that the LORD your God is giving you</b><br>This emphasizes God's sovereignty and grace. The land is a gift from God, not a result of Israel's own efforts. It underscores the covenant relationship between God and His people, where God is the provider and protector. This mirrors the New Testament teaching of salvation as a gift from God (<a href="/ephesians/2-8.htm">Ephesians 2:8-9</a>), not based on human merit but on divine grace.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a></b><br>The author of Deuteronomy, delivering God's laws and instructions to the Israelites before they enter the Promised Land.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/i/israelites.htm">Israelites</a></b><br>The chosen people of God, who are on the brink of entering the Promised Land after their exodus from Egypt and years of wandering in the wilderness.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/p/promised_land.htm">Promised Land</a></b><br>The land of Canaan, promised by God to Abraham and his descendants, representing a place of rest and inheritance.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD (Yahweh)</a></b><br>The covenant-keeping God of Israel, who is faithful to His promises and is leading His people to their inheritance.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/w/wilderness.htm">Wilderness</a></b><br>The period of wandering and testing for the Israelites, symbolizing a time of preparation and reliance on God.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/u/understanding_god's_promises.htm">Understanding God's Promises</a></b><br>Recognize that God's promises often involve a journey and a process of preparation.
