v.1 1. God’s promises are not time deficient, that is there is sufficient time for the

claiming of God’s promises.

(…Thou art old and stricken in years, and there remaineth yet very much and to

be possessed.)

v.1 2. God desires the partaking by His people of all the land of promise.

(land to be possessed.)

v.2 3. God has a very great land of promise to give to His people.

(This is the land that yet remaineth: all the borders of the Philistines, and all

Geshuri,)

v.3 4. The fate of the unjust remains the same; they are not an obstacle to the

plan or promises of God.

(From Sihor, which is before Egypt, even unto  the borders of Ekron northward,

which is counted to the Canaanite: five lords of the Philistines; the Gazathites, 

and the Ashdothites, the Eshkaionites, the Gittites, and the Ekronites; also the 

Avites:)

v.4 5. All that God has promised to and for His people remains to be claimed by

faith.

(From the south, all the land of the Canaanites, and Mearah that is beside the 

Sidonians unto Aphek, to the borders of the Amorites:)

v.5 6. God lays out before His people the places and points of privilege and gives

assurance of the promised fulfilment, illustrated by past faithfulness.

(And the land of the Giblites, and all Lebanon, toward the sunrising, from

                Baalgad under mount Hermon unto the entering into Hamath.)

v.6 7. The way of victory remains the same, no matter the opposition or challenge.

(All the inhabitants of the hill country from Lebanon unto Misrephothmaim, and

                 all the Sidonians, them will I drive out from before the children of Israel: only

                divide thou it by lot unto the Israelites for an inheritance, as I have commanded

                 thee.)

The new testament declares-Jesus is the way. John 14
