The LORD our God said to us in Horeb… ‘See, I have set the land before you. Go in and take possession of the land that the LORD swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to them and to their offspring after them.’

At that time I said to you, ‘I am not able to bear you by myself. The LORD your God has multiplied you, and behold, you are today as numerous as the stars of heaven. (Deut. 1:8-10)

Moses believed God had fulfilled his promises to Abraham for a land and a people but they weren’t quite through yet. The people are still coming in through Jesus (Gal. 3:29) and the world will be ours a when Jesus returns (Rom. 4:13).
