Deuteronomy 8:9; a land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, thou shalt not lack any thing in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills thou mayest dig brass.
Ephesians 6:10-17;
[10] Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. [11] Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. [12] For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. [13] Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. [14] Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; [15] and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; [16] above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. [17] And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
2 Corinthians 10:4,
[4] (for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
The good land is described as a land of iron and copper, symbolizing spiritual warfare and the strength of God’s building. Iron, often used for weapons, signifies spiritual strength and warfare. Copper, used for building and furnishings in the tabernacle, represents endurance and the solid foundation of God’s work.
To live in the good land, we must be equipped for spiritual battle and committed to God’s building. Ephesians 6:10-17 describes the armor of God, showing that spiritual warfare is an integral part of our Christian experience. At the same time, we must be built up as part of God’s dwelling place, enduring hardships and standing firm in faith.
Main Points:
– Iron symbolizes spiritual strength and warfare, while copper represents endurance in God’s work.
– Spiritual warfare is a necessary aspect of living in the good land.
– Being built up in God’s dwelling place requires endurance and commitment.
