We must be shy or feel that its not our place, but we should proclaim such news in order to direct God's people in worship and praise.
A lot of time (and ink) is spent to discuss the territory of Israel. Like anything, unless it's properly defined, it's up for discussion and debate. God knows us very well and we struggle to be content with what we have. Cities of refuge were also defined of those who would await trial before the high priest. The wonders God is shown in that not ONE of the promises He had made had failed! We should be encouraged and know that the same can be done in my life.
