BASIC SCRIPTURE: NUMBERS 14:10-14 (KJV)
-
But all the congregation bade stone them with stones. And the glory of the LORD appeared in the tabernacle of meeting before all the children of Israel.

And the LORD said unto Moses, How long will this people provoke me? and how long will it be ere they believe me, for all the signs which I have shewed among them?

-
And Moses said unto the LORD, Then the Egyptians shall hear it, (for thou broughtest up this people from among them by thy might,)
-
And they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land: for they have heard that thou LORD art among this people, that thou LORD art seen face to face, and that thy cloud standeth over them, and that thou goest before them, by day time in a pillar of a cloud, and in a pillar of fire by night.
BASIC SCRIPTURE: JEREMIAH 42:11-19 (KJV)
-
Be not afraid of the king of Babylon, of whom ye are afraid; be not afraid of him, saith the LORD: for I am with you to save you, and to deliver you from his hand.
-
And I will shew mercies unto you, that he may have mercy upon you, and cause you to return to your own land.
-
But if ye say, We will not dwell in this land, neither obey the voice of the LORD your God,
-
Saying, No; but we will go into the land of Egypt, where we shall see no war, nor hear the sound of the trumpet, nor have hunger of bread; and there will we dwell:
-
And now therefore hear the word of the LORD, ye remnant of Judah; Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; If ye wholly set your faces to enter into Egypt, and go to sojourn there;
-
Then it shall come to pass, that the sword, which ye feared, shall overtake you there in the land of Egypt, and the famine, whereof ye were afraid, shall follow close after you there in Egypt; and there ye shall die.
-
So shall it be with all the men that set their faces to go into Egypt to sojourn there; they shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence: and none of them shall remain or escape from the evil that I will bring upon them.
-
For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; As mine anger and my fury hath been poured forth upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem; so shall my fury be poured forth upon you, when ye shall enter into Egypt: and ye shall be an execration, and an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach; and ye shall see this place no more.
-
The LORD hath said concerning you, O ye remnant of Judah; Go ye not into Egypt: know certainly that I have admonished you this day.

ADDITIONAL REFLECTION
Key Verse (Numbers): Numbers 14:11 — “How long will this people provoke me? and how long will it be ere they believe me, for all the signs which I have shewed among them?”
Key Verse (Jeremiah): Jeremiah 42:11 — “Be not afraid of the king of Babylon, of whom ye are afraid; be not afraid of him, saith the LORD: for I am with you to save you, and to deliver you from his hand.”
The Great Temptation:
-
Israel in Numbers: Wanted to stone God’s messengers and return to Egypt.
-
Remnant in Jeremiah: Wanted to flee to Egypt for safety, against God’s command.
The Common Thread: In both passages, Egypt represents fear-driven disobedience — running to a familiar bondage instead of trusting God in an unfamiliar battle.
Question for the Day: Where is your “Egypt” — the place you run to when you are afraid instead of trusting God?
