What Is Racism (KFLCC)

“ DISOVERING THE KINGDOM OF GOD WITHIN YOU ” 12.06.2017

earlier, they may have held swords in their hands, but there were none in their hearts. What was in their hearts would not sustain what they held in their hands. He brought them into the wilderness to have a change of heart at Horeb. (Thus, your wilderness experience is preparing you for your fight for freedom!) That change of heart is hinted at in God’s directive to leave the mountain and go possess the land. Again, remember that the Israelites had lived in Egypt for such a long time that, at some point, Egypt had begun living in them. Initially they feared Pharaoh more than they feared God and sought to conform God and His ways to what they had learned and experienced in Egypt. (Religion) We see this in the golden-calf incident.

(Rulers of the Social System of Racism) Thus, maybe this why they couldn’t just leave Egypt and go right to the promised land, skipping all the frustration of wandering in the desert for forty years? (Black American 400 yrs.) Because at the first sight of war, they would have wanted to go back to Egypt; they weren’t ready for the labor involved in bringing God’s promise to its culmination.
