V.1-2 After all the unbelief of the last chapter, the Lord says, “When ye come into the land of your habitations which I give unto you.” Isn’t that wonderful? His grace and His faithfulness will be the cause of Israel’s being settled in the land. Disobedience on their part, grace on God’s part! Never forget this.

V.3-13 God joyfully looks forward to the time when His beloved people will be in the land; they shall gladly bring their offerings and sacrifices to Him.

V.14-16 The Lord thinks upon those who are not part of His earthly people Israel, and He wants to bless them too. We Gentiles were strangers and far off, but have been brought into most wonderful blessing through the work of Christ for us. The church of God is made up of Jews and Gentiles (Eph. 2:13-18¹³But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. ¹⁴For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; ¹⁵Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace; ¹⁶And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby: ¹⁷And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh. ¹⁸For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father. (Ephesians 2:13‑18)). And shall share the glories with Christ in heaven forever.

V.22-31 Provision made for sins of ignorance and, the awful sentence of death for the one who sinned deliberately. To be ignorant of the truth is one thing. But to deliberately disobey it, is another.

V.37-41 Blue is the color that reminds of us heaven. Our daily “walk” would show to others that we belong to heaven and that we want to please the Lord.
