They didn’t enter into their Blessing

Due to their unbelief, they disobeyed God and did not enter into their blessing.  The Holy Spirit uses the word “provoked” to describe how God felt about their unbelief.  What the Holy Spirit was actually saying is that this people not only aroused the displeasure of God turning His divine favor away from them, they demonstrated in their “provocation” contempt and abhorrence for God.  As you can observe from the verse, faith is demonstrated by obedience and, of course, as you would surmise, disobedience is the demonstration of unbelief.  I guess to simplify this principle you would say “the proof is in the pudding.”  What am I actually saying?  I am proclaiming that God is about to do a HUGE thing in the church, in these last days and there will be a large portion who will miss this blessing due to their lack of desire, apathy, complacency, and yes, unbelief.  I have already begun to see the separation of those who will from those who won’t.
