The desert is a place where things die! Some things have to die before you possess what you desire!
The children of Israel had to be delivered from Egypt (place of bondage). But, they had to die in the desert (place of letting go of the past), before they could ever dominate in the promised land (place of taking new ground).
There’s always a sequence when it comes to destiny. The children of Israel left Egypt, but they wandered in the desert before they possessed the original plan of the promised land. I’m seeing that the desert is the most significant place on your way to a destiny or in obtaining the promised things of God.
1. The children of Israel FLED Egypt.
2. They DWELT in the desert.
3. They POSSESSED the promised land.
@robalancollins: Gods plan was to lead the children of Israel out of bondage. The desert was necessary so that Egypt’s mindset, (a place bondage) wouldn’t be brought in to the promise land.
The children of Israel was under bondage, what was their bondage? Doing the same thing everyday, under a burden of bondage.
