메시아 왕국에서는 * 하나님의 영광이 온 땅에 충만해집니다. * 믿음의 남은 자들이 기업을 상속받습니다. * 불신앙과 두려움이 제거됩니다. * 열방이 예루살렘으로 올라와 하나님을 경배합니다. * 예슈아 함마쉬아흐께서 의로 통치하십니다. 갈렙이 바라본 약속의 땅은 장차 완성될 메시아 왕국의 예표였습니다.
6. 우리가 어떻게 준비해야 하는가?
1) 에무나(אֱמוּנָה)의 삶을 살아야 합니다. 2) 세상의 두려움보다 하나님의 약속을 바라보아야 합니다. 3) 갈렙처럼 다른 영(רוּחַ אַחֶרֶת)을 품어야 합니다. 4) 끝까지 충성하며 인내해야 합니다. 5) 메시아 왕국의 유업(נַחֲלָה)을 바라보며 살아야 합니다.
샬롬! 갈렙의 “다른 영”(רוּחַ אַחֶרֶת, 루아흐 아헤레트) 과 같은 믿음을 품고, 다가올 *말쿠트 함마쉬아흐* 의 소망 가운데 끝까지 승리하는 공동체가 되기를 축복합니다.

## Malchut HaMashiach (מַלְכוּת הַמָּשִׁיחַ) – The Messianic Kingdom
### 1. Torah Portion (Numbers 14:8–25)
This passage records the faithful declaration of Caleb and Joshua before the congregation, as well as God's response to Israel's unbelief.
Caleb and Joshua proclaimed, “If the LORD delights in us, He will bring us into this land and give it to us.” They urged the people not to fear. However, the congregation chose to focus on the giants and obstacles rather than on God's promises.
From an eschatological perspective, this passage reveals two groups that will exist in the last days. One group will be overwhelmed by fear, uncertainty, and worldly circumstances. The other will hold firmly to God's promises and the hope of the Messianic Kingdom.
Although God judged Israel's unbelief, He declared concerning Caleb, “He has a different spirit and has followed Me fully” (Numbers 14:24).
The Messianic Kingdom is the inheritance reserved for those who remain faithful to the end. Those who persevere in faith will share in its glory.
