Rightly Divided "Breach" Of God?

[GRACE ambassador]

"Does God Break His Promises?​

“After the number of the days in which ye searched the land, even
forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even
forty years, and ye shall know My Breach of Promise” (Num. 14:34).​

Wow! Did God really just say that? Did The Eternally Faithful God actually say,
“ye shall know My Breach of Promise”? God doesn’t break His Promises, does He?
If there is one thing we know to be true:

“all the Promises of God In Him are yea, and In Him
Amen, Unto The Glory Of God” (II Cor. 1:20).​

We know and hold dear the fact that Every Jot and Tittle of God’s Faithful Word
Will Be Fulfilled (Matt. 5:18), with Every Utterance Signed, Sealed and Gloriously
Delivered. God Surely Keeps His Promises. Then what does The LORD Mean When
He Says, “ye shall know My Breach of Promise”? The Answer is found just a few
verses before, and demonstrates a Critical Rule in understanding The Bible overall.

Before Telling the nation Israel that they would wander forty years for their unbelief,
and would not see the Promise Fulfilled, God Assures them:

“But your little ones, which ye said should be a prey,
THEM WILL I BRING IN, and they shall know the land
which ye have despised” (Num. 14:31).​

God Promised the nation that He would deliver them from Egypt into a land flowing
with milk and honey (Ex. 3:8), and that is exactly what He Did. However, because
of their unbelief, God’s Promise was “Breached,” that is, It Was DIVIDED. The
Promise which began in the former generation, would now be Fulfilled in the
latter, and Fulfilled it was!

“And The LORD Gave unto Israel all the land which He Sware to
give unto their fathers...And The LORD Gave them rest round about,
According To All That He Sware Unto their fathers...THERE FAILED
NOT OUGHT of any good thing which The LORD Had Spoken Unto
the house of Israel; ALL CAME TO PASS” (Josh. 21:43-45).​

So God Kept His Promise, every whit, despite the nation’s unbelief. God
Accomplished The Fulfillment Of His Word By Breaching It, Dividing It in two.
As we study The Scriptures, we find that this Division of Fulfillment is no strange
or unusual thing, but is in fact a Fundamental Facet of Rightly Dividing The Word
Of Truth (II Tim. 2:15), Demonstrated Repeatedly Through The Bible.

The Fulfillment of God’s Promises are often Breached across “sundry (divided)
times” (Heb. 1:1). A single Promise begins in one generation, then is interrupted,
only to find its completion in another.

While the failure to recognize This Truth has led many, both inside the church and
out, into Replacement Theology, Covenant Theology, Amillennialism, Preterism and
spiritualization, not to mention anti-Semitism and gross error of every kind, a
simple obedience to II Timothy 2:15 would heal the body of Christ of all these ills.

The key to understanding so much of the word of prophecy comes by recognizing
what God calls His “Breach of Promise.” So did Israel then understand? Did they
finally, as God instructed, come to “know [His] Breach of Promise”? Sadly not.

For when their Messiah first appeared, they believed He would bring the Day of
Vengeance against their enemies, as the prophets declared. Once again however,
As God Had Done with their fathers before, The Lord Jesus laid out this
Critical Rule before them.

“And there was delivered unto Him The Book of the prophet Esaias.
And when He Had Opened The Book, He Found The Place Where It
Was Written, The Spirit of The Lord Is Upon Me, Because He Hath
Anointed Me To Preach the gospel to the poor;

He Hath Sent Me To heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance
to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty
them that are bruised, To Preach The Acceptable Year of The Lord.

And He Closed the book, and He Gave it again to the minister, and
sat down...And He Began to say unto them, This Day Is This Scripture
Fulfilled in your ears” (Luke_4:17-21).“​

“Fulfilled?” they thought to themselves. “What does He Mean, Fulfilled? This is only
part of the Promise, for the prophet goes on to say that The Day of Vengeance will
also come to comfort us (Isa. 61:1-2). This Man hasn’t come to Keep the Promises
of God, but to break Them.”

Of course The Lord did not break God’s promise, but He Did Breach It, exactly where
It Was Meant To Be Breached, Rightly Dividing The Word of Truth. It was only later,
when speaking of the last days, that The Lord Finally said,

“For THESE be The Days of Vengeance, that ALL THINGS
Which Are Written may Be Fulfilled” (Luke_21:22).​

In a single Promise, the prophet foretold the coming of “The Acceptable Year of The
Lord” and of “The Days of Vengeance of our God” (Isa. 61:1-2). The Acceptable Year
of The Lord had come. The Days of Vengeance would await their Appointed Time. As
God Had Shown His people before, what began in one generation would be Fulfilled
in another.

Still, they would not accept this “Breach of Promise”, and once again the nation was
condemned to wander blindly until The Breach Ends (Rom. 11:25). As often as God
Has Shown His people that they MUST Rightly Divide The Word of Truth, just so often
they refuse, and always with the same result. For the people of God in any age,
wandering blindly is the condition for which Right Division Is The Cure.
