The first generation ALL died EG, they did not enter in because of their continual unbelief, only Caleb and Joshua of the first generation entered the promise land and with the 2nd generation...God never left nor forsook the first generation, but they died in the wilderness after not believing the report of the 2 spies.
Numbers 13 & 14
Numbers 26.63-65
[SUP]63 [/SUP]These are those who were numbered by Moses and Eleazar the priest, who numbered the sons of Israel in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho. [SUP]64 [/SUP]But among these there was not a man of those who were numbered by Moses and Aaron the priest, who numbered the sons of Israel in the wilderness of Sinai. [SUP]65 [/SUP]For the Lord had said of them, “They shall surely die in the wilderness.” And not a man was left of them, except Caleb the son of Jephunneh and Joshua the son of Nun.
Numbers 32.6-13
[SUP]6 [/SUP]But Moses said to the sons of Gad and to the sons of Reuben, “Shall your brothers go to war while you yourselves sit here? [SUP]7 [/SUP]Now why are you discouraging the sons of Israel from crossing over into the land which the Lord has given them? [SUP]8 [/SUP]This is what your fathers did when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea to see the land. [SUP]9 [/SUP]For when they went up to the valley of Eshcol and saw the land, they discouraged the sons of Israel so that they did not go into the land which the Lord had given them. [SUP]10 [/SUP]So the Lord’s anger burned in that day, and He swore, saying, [SUP]11 [/SUP]‘None of the men who came up from Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob; for they did not follow Me fully, [SUP]12 [/SUP]except Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite and Joshua the son of Nun, for they have followed the Lord fully.’ [SUP]13 [/SUP]So the Lord’s anger burned against Israel, and He made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until the entire generation of those who had done evil in the sight of the Lord was destroyed.
Heb 3.7-19
[SUP]7 [/SUP]Therefore, just as the Holy Spirit says,
“Today if you hear His voice,
[SUP]8 [/SUP]Do not harden your hearts as when they provoked Me,
As in the day of trial in the wilderness,
[SUP]9 [/SUP]Where your fathers tried Me by testing Me,
And saw My works for forty years.
[SUP]10 [/SUP]“Therefore I was angry with this generation,
And said, ‘They always go astray in their heart,
And they did not know My ways’;
[SUP]11 [/SUP]As I swore in My wrath,
‘They shall not enter My rest.’”
[SUP]12 [/SUP]Take care, brethren, that there not be in any one of you an evil, unbelieving heart that falls away from the living God. [SUP]13 [/SUP]But encourage one another day after day, as long as it is still called “Today,” so that none of you will be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. [SUP]14 [/SUP]For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our assurance firm until the end, [SUP]15 [/SUP]while it is said,
“Today if you hear His voice,
Do not harden your hearts, as when they provoked Me.”
[SUP]16 [/SUP]For who provoked Him when they had heard? Indeed, did not all those who came out of Egypt led by Moses? [SUP]17 [/SUP]And with whom was He angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness? [SUP]18 [/SUP]And to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest, but to those who were disobedient? [SUP]19 [/SUP]So we see that they were not able to enter because of unbelief.
So with peace, how can you say all the first generation entered in except for Moses?
This absolutely proves that a believer can and will fall away from belief in God and be destroyed for it. God never leaves them nor forsakes them, they left and forsook him.
This is not losing your salvation, this walking away from covenant relationship..
Better notice hard that it is the Holy spirit that says the things in Hebrews 3....
