Beyond Jordan

Matthew 4:15

The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles;
Beyond Jordan is the promised land, the land of milk and honey which God has ordained for His people. There lies the land of Zebulun: the habitation of exaltation. Along the way lies the land of Naphtali: the wrestling. This land of light affliction and temporal burdens leads to a much greater prize: the yoke of heaven and the eternal weight of glory. In the meantime, we wrestle with the spiritual principalities of the world, the flesh, and Satan to occupy the land that the Lord has given us personally. As the Tribulation approaches be diligent to see to the land He appointed you beyond Jordan, on this side of the  shadow of death, until such time as the Sun of Righteousness arises the second time. As it is written,

Isaiah 9:1-2

Nevertheless the dimness shall not be such as was in her vexation, when at the first he lightly afflicted the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, and afterward did more grievously afflict her by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, in Galilee of the nations. The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined.
