These people had been through the wilderness. They were God s prophets. Miriam was a prophetess. There were a number of reasons why their bodies were not allowed to be taken into the promised land, chiefly because of the concepts and problems of idolatry. This whole concept has been noticeable over a long period of time and particularly over the last past twelve months.
People exalt themselves often self-exaltation.
People often express anger in dealing with people and not a concept of hallowing and exalting God and trying to develop the relationships of themselves and their people with God. I too have been guilty of this offence in speaking in anger, i.e. there are times when things are so clearly wrong, that you become less than patient, with people who cannot or will not see. That is the lesson here is the development and sanctification of God in righteous patience in dealing with people individually in care and concern. Doctors of Divinity and people from congregations of different Baptist denominations and of the Adventist organisations of the Churches of God. All of them have different characters and different views.
