In other words, where it's beyond you where God makes it hard in order for you to see there's only one God, and you and I we're not he. But I just want you know God does some of his best work in flood season, when the waters are too high, the problems are too great, the needs are too daunting. It was the time when the human capacity would be at its lowest. That's the time when you're most likely to run into a problem or to drown. Now, if there's any time you don't want to cross the Jordan, it's in flood season. I mean, it was something to behold because we're told when they crossed over the Jordan they crossed over the Jordan in flood season. And now it was time to cross over at the end of the 40th year, and what a miracle crossover it was. Israel had been in the wilderness for 40 years 40 years for them to learn faith, 40 years for their habits to be corrected, 40 years for them to be humbled, 40 years for them to be trained. God is typically moving you from one state to another state, from one place to another place in the normal use of the number 40 in Scripture. So 40 is a number in Scripture in biblical numerology of transition. You enter another generation once you hit 40, and the next generation then is coming along. A generation in the Bible is spoken of in terms of 40 years. There was 40 years in the wilderness of preparation before Israel was ready to go into the Promised Land. Jesus is in the wilderness 40 days as he transitions into his public ministry. Forty is a time of transition in the Bible.
