Finding Messiah in Triennial Sichon
2:31-3:22 {s} YHVH gave the kingdoms of the Amorites to Israel as a possession
The chiastic structure reveals that the land inhabited by giants was given to the two and a half tribes. They inherited their inheritance, even though it was held by giants. They dispossessed the giants, because YHVH fought the giants for them.
The giants that inhabit our inheritance as children of God, include sin, death, and all the power of the devil. And all these giants Messiah Yeshua defeated, past tense.
Let this mind be in you, which was also in Messiah Yeshua; who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: but made Himself of no reputation, and took upon Him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men. And being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Therefore God also has highly exalted Him, and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Yeshua every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Yeshua Messiah is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Phi 2:5-11
… [Yeshua] having disarmed principalities and powers, He made an open spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it [i.e., the cross]. Col 2:15
“And these signs shall follow those who believe: In My name they shall cast out demons; they shall speak with new tongues; they shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.” Yeshua, Mar 16:17-18
We can begin a study of our inheritance as children of God in Mat 25:34, Rom 4:13, Gal 3:29, Eph 1:11-14 and 18-21, Heb 1:14, 1 Pet 1:3-5, Jam 2:5, and Psa 2:8, although there are many more. To summarize, our inheritance described Scripturally is:
Victory over the Enemy (over Giants in our Inheritance);
The Promises Made to Abraham;
Salvation;
The Kingdom of Heaven;
The World, the Nations, the Ends of the Earth.
