Numbers 13:17-21 is where I read into the message..."Behold and bring some of the fruit from the land"
and to spie out Canaan.....

Now if I were there, and God gave me commandments to hold dear in my heart, and mind...when God says to go to war over land, I would stand up and say...it is against the commandments to murder our neighbors for gain...
Thus we should not go to war!
God is testing the people!...and they failed the test..Moses doesn't enter the land they stole!..Because he knew it was wrong!
The Jew then used the cloud of God, as a weapon of fear...and that went onto new wars, and conflicts with their neighbors...to this day they are a sore spot in the land they claim God gave them...when it was taken in murder and bloodshed, breaking the commandments they say they so dearly abide by.
