Hosea 11:1 “When Israel was a child, I loved him, and out of Egypt I called my son.
Matthew 2:15 where he stayed until the death of Herod. And so was fulfilled what the Lord had said through the prophet: “Out of Egypt I called my son.
Jesus is the promised land for the Kingdom of Heaven.
Note: John 14:6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
Jesus Christ is our Lord our true Shepherd our Israel.
Note: Psalm 100: 1-5 Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands.
2 Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing.
3 Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.
5 For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.
When we have fought the good fight, which is in Christ, we have overcome the world, as our Lord has. We are in the hands of spiritual Israel, just like Jacob. We are Climbing Jacob's Ladder.
Then he said, 'Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel, for you have striven with God and with men, and have prevailed'” (Gen. 32:27-28). Jacob has not only prevailed in grappling with men (Gen. 29–31), he also clings to God as he wrestles Him.
Note: John 16:33 "Jesus says these things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”
Jesus is our promise land.
