The way was open to the Promised Land, but the people, in spite of what they had witnessed from Egypt forward, denied and limited God. Finally, God closed up the way to them although it would be open to their children.Exo 15:16 Fear and dread shall fall upon them; by the greatness of thine arm they shall be as still as a stone; till thy people pass over, O LORD, till the people pass over, which thou hast purchased.
Hugs
The Way to the Tree of Life has been opened, but have not people again denied and limited God? Can we overcome as God requires and partake of the fruit of that Tree?
