Promises Kept – Receiving the Inheritance

Over many chapters and with great detail, the distribution of the land as an inheritance is recorded. This highlights the greatness of the inheritance, given to all the people of Israel, because of the utter faithfulness of the LORD God to His promises. In the midst of this record of the inheritance are seeds of trouble that hint at the dangers Israel will face that will jeopardise the inheritance of the land.

These chapters point forward to the glorious inheritance Christians have in Christ, the assurance in God’s faithfulness to give what He has promised and a warning to remove dangers to receiving our inheritance.
