What does the timing between the two Passovers reveal about God?
It reveals that God is meticulous with His timing. The Passover celebrated after crossing Jordan occurred exactly forty years after the Passover in Egypt, demonstrating that God precisely orchestrated the interval between these two events according to His own schedule.
Les teaches that when Israel crossed the Jordan and entered the promised land, they stopped to celebrate Passover. That Passover, coming just after they entered the land, was exactly forty years from the Passover in Egypt. Les points out that this shows how meticulous God is with His timing. He also notes that because of Israel's unbelief at Kadesh, they could not enter immediately and wandered for forty years. When they finally crossed Jordan almost forty years later, the Passover timing aligned precisely with God's schedule.
