day no. 16,816: the promised land and the baptized babies

1 Corinthians 10:1-6

Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; And did all eat the same spiritual meat; And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ. But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness. Now these things were our examples.

All of Israel was baptized in the Exodus from Egypt and all communed on elements of heavenly bread and drink in their wanderings in the wilderness, but all did not keep their respective covenants with Christ.

Joshua 5:6

For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the people that were men of war, which came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they obeyed not the voice of the Lord: unto whom the Lord sware that he would not shew them the land, which the Lord sware unto their fathers that he would give us, a land that floweth with milk and honey.

All the grumblers died in the desert and these were all of those twenty years old and upward, fit for war, but fighting the hand that fed them instead of the enemies that opposed them.

Numbers 14:29

Your carcases shall fall in this wilderness; and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, which have murmured against me,

In the end, the only ones who entered the land of milk and honey were those who entered the exodus drinking their mother's milk, those who were baptized as children, save Joshua and Caleb, who held their own though they grew up in the midst of rampant apostasy.
