Today song is The Wanderer so what comes to mind when you hear about a group of people wandering around? After Moses lead the Children of Israel out of Egypt the Children of Israel “wandered in the wilderness” for 40 years. Thus becoming wanderers, see how I totally matched up today’s song with the subject for the day, well sort of .
The Children of Israel wandered in the wilderness for 40 years. In the Bible the number 40 has a lot of meaning. I have copied and pasted just a small sample from the internet about the importance of the number 40.
The Meaning of Numbers: The Number 40
Mentioning 146 times in Scripture, the number 40 generally symbolizes a period of testing, trial or probation. During Moses’ life he lived forty years in Egypt and forty years in the desert before God selected him to lead his people out of slavery.
Moses was also on Mount Sinai for 40 days and nights, on two separate occasions (Exodus 24:18, 34:1 – 28), receiving God’s laws. He also sent spies, for forty days, to investigate the land God promised the Israelites as an inheritance (Numbers 13:25, 14:34).
As in says above the number 40 is in the Bible 146 times. There is much more on the number in fact it makes a very good study theme or the number forty would make a great sermon serious. In fact pray about asking your pastor to think about doing a series of sermons on the number 40. From the flood to how many times Jesus associates himself with the number 40. It would really make a good study. Because the number 40 is back in 2020.
In 1980 40 years ago a TV preacher by the name of Jerry Falwell founded what he called “The Moral Majority” declaring God to be a Republican, therefore is you didn’t vote straight down the Republican ballot you were “wicked” and against God.
The Moral Majority is alive and well today, they don’t call themselves that anymore, But the Moral Majority just like the Children of Israel wandered for 40 years, The Moral Majority was been wandering around for the past 40 years. They been wandering in The Wilderness of Self-Righteousness, Eating the Manna of Arrogance, drinking out of the River of Conceit, walking around on The Holier Than Thou Trail.
What did walking around in the Wilderness of Self-Righteousness for the past 40 years do for today’s Moral Majority? They are defending Donald Trump with all their hearts, with all their minds and with all their strength. What else would you expect from people that believe they are moral? Yes it all make sense after these 40 years, it really can’t end any better these 40 years of people thinking they are like God than to believe that just like them Donald Trump is moral.
