Num 13:1-15:41
PROPAGANDA AND BRINGING BACK A BAD REPORT

We live in a modern world that thrives on a bad report…everywhere you look there’s a bad report, in the land, on foreign lands, in the State, out of State, at the pump, at the check out line. 

Eventually the effects of constant bad reports take their desired effect. You see bad reports overcome you, they change you, they change time. 

Negative Reports:

1. Overcome you
2. Change you
3. Change time

A life of faith, a life of trust is a life lived in immediacy, action and possession of THAT FAITH in its fullness of Yahusha.

Eph 4:13 calls it: the fullness of Christ: And this until we all come into the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a full-grown man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ;

ACTION: Caleb said, Num 13:30 Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.

Dan 7:25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.

Negative Reports are usually birthed in the dark – at night, they are public murmurings against faith: like news reports, like public actions:

Num 14:1 And all the congregation lifted up their voice and cried. And the people wept that night. Num 14:2 And all the sons of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron.

ACTION: Caleb said, Num 13:30 Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.

Good Reports:

1. Overcome the world
2. Change the world – reshape the world
3. Establish time

Good reports are live in the private, a private word, a private prayer, a private faith – that fills the void, fills the inner land and brings forth courage. Where we can: 

1. Overcome the world: Joh 16:33 I have spoken these things to you so that you might have peace in Me. In the world you shall have tribulation, but be of good cheer. I have overcome the world.

2. Change the world: Heb 7:12 For the priesthood being changed, there is of necessity a change made in the law also.

3. Establish His times by ministering a good report: 1 Pe 1:9 obtaining the end of your faith, the salvation of your souls. About which salvation the prophets sought out and searched out, prophesying concerning the grace for you; searching for what, or what manner of time, the Spirit of Christ made clear within them, testifying beforehand of the sufferings of Christ, and the glories that should follow. To them it was revealed that not to themselves, but to us, they ministered the things which are now reported to you by those who have preached the gospel to you in the Holy Spirit sent from Heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.

If we leave a void it must be filled, and the world is working overtime to create a void and fill it with their version of the ministry of truth. 

It’s physics a void will be filled, a vacuum. 

Bam 13:1 – 17 And YHWH spoke to Moshe, saying, 2 Send) men that they may search the land of Kanaan, which I give to the children of Yisrael: from every tribe of their ahvot shall you send a man. Every one a leader Among them.

3 And Moshe by the command of YHWH sent them from the wilderness of Paran: all those men were heads of the children of Yisrael

4 And these were their names: of the tribe of Reuven, Shammua the son of Zakur. 5 Of the tribe of Shimeon, Shaphat the son of Hori. 6 Of the tribe of Yahudah (Torah), Caleb (Fiercly loyal, not Jewish – a stranger who was grafted in, his father was a Kena-zite) the son of Yephunneh. 7 Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Yoseph. 8 Of the tribe of Efrayim (they hold to the head – Moshiach), Hosea the son of Nun. 9 Of the tribe of Benyamin, Palti the son of Raphu. 10 Of the tribe of Zevulon, Gaddi-El the son of Sodi. 11 Of the tribe of Yoseph, namely, of the tribe of Menashsheh, Gaddi the son of Susi. 12 Of the tribe of Dan, Ammi-El the son of Gemalli. 13 Of the tribe of Asher, Shethur the son of Mikael. 14 Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahvi the son of Vophsi. 15 Of the tribe of Gad, Geu-El the son of Machi. 16 These are the names of the men that Moshe sent to spy out the land. And Moshe called Hoshea/Yeshua the son of Nun Yahoshua (added יו now not just salvation but יהוה is our salvation.)

17 And Moshe sent them to spy out the land of Kanaan, and said to them, Go up this way southward, and go up into the mountain. 

What do you think of the inner quality of your land today/ how is your state of mind, state of faith, have you allowed it to be assaulted by the bad reports coming out of the world?

V.18..And see…with more than your eyes –don’t pay attention to what the worlds publishing machines print. Mishle 29:18 Where there is no vision the people perish, but he that guards my Torah happy is he.) 

See 8 things:…(1) see the land, what it is; and the people that dwell there, whether they be (2) strong, or weak, (3) few, or many; 19 And what the land is that they dwell in, whether it (4) be tov, or bad; and what cities there are that they dwell in, whether in (5) tents, or in strongholds; 20 And what the land is, (6) whether it be fat, or lean, whether there (7) is wood there, or not. And be of tov courage (complete or perfect in GEVURAH), (8) and bring of the fruit of the land. 

Now the time was the season of the first ripe grapes. (Shavuot – before Tishri, thus Tisha B’ Av)

V.23 And they came to the brook of Eshcol, and cut down from there a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bore it between the two of them on a pole; and they brought of the pomegranates, and of the figs. (The symbol of the tourist bureau: come and spy out the land!)

All are opposites (V.18) except one, for the reason to draw our attention to it.

1. Strong or weak?
2. Few or many?
3. Good or bad?
4. Tents or strongholds?
5. Fat or lean?
6. Eytzeem/trees or NOT?

Why the concern about Eytzeem/trees?

Ps1: 1 The Tzadik are like trees planted by rivers or mayim.

Ps 92: the Tzadik shall flourish like a palm eytz and grow like a cedar.

Mishle 11:30: The fruit of the tzaddik is an eytz chayim.

Isaiah 6:1 They are called trees of righteousness.

If there were tzadik/righteous people in the land, they would have merited YHWH’s favor and protection. Therefore if no righteous are found it should have instilled great courage for them to occupy the land.

Today, how many righteous believers in Yahusha are inhabiting their inner land – all of it?

There were 8 things, in 5 favor and 3 against – therefore take the land at once: defenses and no trees/righteous – therefore defenses are removed: 13:26 brought back word (all 5 in favor: 1-saw, 4-Tov, 6-fat, 7-no Eyzteem, 8-fruit.) to them, and to all the congregation, and showed them the fruit of the land. 27 And they told him, and said, We came to the land (1) where you sent us, and surely it flows with milk and honey (4 –Tov & 6 –Fat); and this is the fruit of it. 28 Nevertheless the people are strong that dwell in the land and the cities are walled, and very great: and moreover we saw the children of Anak there. (3 things not in their favor: 2,3 &5 –strong, great and walled – BUT #7 – Anak – no Eyteem – so there defenses will be rendered useless – 14:9!)

13:30 And Kalev quieted the people before Moshe, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it. 31 But the men that went up with him said, We are not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we are. 32 And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had searched to the children of Yisrael, saying, The land, through which we have gone to search, is a land that eats up its inhabitants (they changed the report – #4 – TOV – YHWH said in Shemot 23 He’d send His Malach before them if they didn’t give a false report, His Malach would go before Israel and weaken and plague the unrighteous inhabitants); and all the people that we saw in it are men of great size.

33 And there we saw the Nephilim, the sons of Anak, who came from the Nephilim: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.

14:1 And the entire congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night. 2 And all the children of Yisrael murmured against Moshe and against Aharon: and the whole congregation said to them, Would to Elohim that we had died in the land of Mitzrayim! Or, would to Elohim we had died in this wilderness! 3 And why has vuvh brought us to this land, to kill us by the sword, that our wives and our children should be a prey? Is it not better for us to return to Mitzrayim?

The spies – a revolt.

3 things to look for.

1. A crisis of faith/emunah! The Golden Calf was still religious, but not here…they had lost all hope, denied the past and contested the very attributes of YHWH -14:17. 7 of the 13 attributes of YHWH are petitioned in intercessory prayer by Moshe’s.

2. Fear: Too long in the wilderness of the world – Bamidbar – they’d been overcome by it.

3. This will hit the last generation: Do we have the right to the land – our bodies – and by what right! What about the present inhabitant of a body. Should it be aborted, should it be vaccinated, should it be masked?

This third item is our current nation in crisis – due to their own evil reports…the left set themselves up for destruction because they didn’t have the hindsight or the foresight to see what their false reports from the last two and half years would bring about. They have no vision, no faith. 

What do I mean on this third point. Well for two and a half years the loony left have been banging on about you don’t have a right to self determination – your body is not your own – if we want you to wear a mask – you do it because it is not your choice – If we want you to take the clot shot – you do it – it should not be your choice – you do it for the betterment of your fellow liberal. YOU do all these things because we the loony left have determined it,  determined it is in the science – not that many of them could make it around a science lab without blowing themselves up!  

WELL NOW THE CHICKENS HAVE COME HOME TO ROOST…haven’t they…you see they woke the sleeping giant – the US CORPORATION, the Fedral Government to the double standards and hypocrisy of their narrative…their false reports. Don’t think that yesterdays decision by they Supreme Court was brought about in a vacuum. NO for two and half years the loony left has been systematically tearing down Roe vs. Wade without having the vision to see what they were actually doing. 

For two and a half years they have been trumpeting that it is NOT your body and NOT your choice…mask up, clot shot up – its NOT your body and it’s NOT your choice…Well okay…said the Supreme Court…they’ve muddied the waters of their narrative so much so that the sleeping giant was awakened to the sinking sand on which Roe vs Wade was built.
