    A Promise Reversed

    We give now a promise of blessing and its reversal:EGWC 103.4

    “And God spake unto Moses,” “Say unto the children of Israel, ... I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and ... ye shall know that I am the Lord your God, which bringeth you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians. And I will bring you in unto the land, concerning the which I did swear to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it you for an heritage.” Exodus 6:2, 6-8. “And the Lord spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, How long shall I bear with this evil congregation, which murmur against me? ... Say unto them, ... your carcases shall fall in this wilderness; and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, ... doubtless ye shall not come into the land, concerning which I sware to make you dwell therein.... And ye shall know my breach of promise.” Numbers 14:26-34.

    How clearly these parallel passages on the promise to Israel illuminate the words of Jeremiah! Said the Lord to Israel, “Ye shall know my breach of promise.” The alternate reading in the margin would state it thus: “Ye shall know my altering of my purpose.”EGWC 104.1
