Module 10:  From the Wilderness to the Promised Land

Having commissioned Israel to its Calling as God's missionary people, and declared that He would dwell among them, in this module we explore the journey from Sinai to the Promised Land. The journey that should have taken less than 40 days took 40 years. After renewing the Covenant in the plains of Moab, the new generation under a new leader begin to possess the promised inheritance. The book of Deuteronomy becomes foundational to understand God's dealings with His people in the subsequent history books.
