11. “ T HAT NIGHT ALL THE PEOPLE OF THE COMMUNITY RAISED THEIR VOICES AND WEPT ALOUD. A LL THE I SRAELITES GRUMBLED AGAINST M OSES AND A ARON, AND THE WHOLE ASSEMBLY SAID TO THEM, “I F ONLY WE HAD DIED IN E GYPT ! O R IN THIS DESERT !

14. HOW LONG WILL THESE PEOPLE TREAT ME WITH CONTEMPT? HOW LONG WILL THEY REFUSE TO BELIEVE IN ME, IN SPITE OF ALL THE MIRACULOUS SIGNS I HAVE PERFORMED AMONG THEM? I WILL STRIKE THEM DOWN WITH A PLAGUE AND DESTROY THEM, BUT I WILL MAKE YOU INTO A NATION GREATER AND STRONGER THAN THEY. GET OUT OF THE WAY!

15. I HAVE FORGIVEN THEM, AS YOU ASKED. NEVERTHELESS, AS SURELY AS I LIVE AND AS SURELY AS THE GLORY OF THE LORD FILLS THE WHOLE EARTH, NOT ONE OF THE MEN WHO SAW MY GLORY AND THE MIRACULOUS SIGNS I PERFORMED IN EGYPT AND IN THE DESERT BUT WHO DISOBEYED ME AND TESTED ME TEN TIMES— NOT ONE OF THEM WILL EVER SEE THE LAND I PROMISED ON OATH TO THEIR FOREFATHERS. NO ONE WHO HAS TREATED ME WITH CONTEMPT WILL EVER SEE IT.

16. FOR FORTY YEARS—ONE YEAR FOR EACH OF THE FORTY DAYS YOU EXPLORED THE LAND—YOU WILL SUFFER FOR YOUR SINS AND KNOW WHAT IT IS LIKE TO HAVE ME AGAINST YOU.’ I, THE LORD, HAVE SPOKEN, AND I WILL SURELY DO THESE THINGS TO THIS WHOLE WICKED COMMUNITY, WHICH HAS BANDED TOGETHER AGAINST ME. THEY WILL MEET THEIR END IN THIS DESERT; HERE THEY WILL DIE.

18. SO WE SEE THAT THEY COULD NOT ENTER BECAUSE OF UNBELIEF I DON’T BELIEVE THAT GOD LOVES ME. I DON’T BELIEVE THAT JESUS CAN FORGIVE ME. I DON’T BELIEVE THAT I HAVE TO FORGIVE OTHERS. I DON’T BELIEVE IN HIS CHURCH--HIS BRIDE. I DON’T BELIEVE THAT GOD WILL EVER HOLD ME TO ACCOUNT. I DON’T BELIEVE THAT GOD WILL EVER HOLD THIS WORLD TO ACCOUNT FOR ITS DESTRUCTIVE BEHAVIOR TOWARDS THOSE HE DIED FOR. I DON’T BELIEVE THERE WILL BE A DAY OF RECKONING. I DON’T BELIEVE THAT HE WILL COME AGAIN TO JUDGE THE LIVING AND THE DEAD. I DON’T HAVE TO REPENT TODAY, I WILL WAIT UNTIL TOMORROW.

20. TODAY IS THE DAY THAT I ACCEPT THAT GOD LOVES ME. TODAY IS THE DAY THAT I ACCEPT THAT GOD FORGIVES ME. TODAY IS THE DAY THAT I ACCEPT THAT I HAVE TO FORGIVE OTHERS. TODAY IS THE DAY THAT I ACCEPT HIS CHURCH WITH ALL ITS IMPERFECTIONS AND BLEMISHES--HIS BRIDE. TODAY IS THE DAY THAT I ACCEPT THAT GOD WILL HOLD ME TO ACCOUNT.

21. TODAY IS THE DAY THAT I CHOOSE TO BELIEVE THAT ONE DAY GOD WILL JUDGE THIS EARTH, WITH JUSTICE AND MERCY TODAY I CHOOSE TO BELIEVE THAT THERE WILL BE A DAY OF RECKONING TODAY I WILL BELIEVE THAT HE WILL COME AGAIN TO JUDGE THE LIVING AND THE DEAD TODAY I WILL RUN THE RACE MARKED OUT FOR ME TODAY I WILL KEEP MY THOUGHTS AND MY EYES UPON JESUS TODAY I CHOOSE TO BE HOLY AND SET APART FOR GOD’S PURPOSES
