The Ceasing Manna
Story Time: Forty Years of Desert Manna, Crossing the Jordan & Harvesting Canaan's Grain
Forty years of falling wilderness manna permanently cease the day Israel eats the roasted grain of Canaan, demanding spiritual maturity.
Theme Verse (Joshua 5:11–12): “And the day after the Passover, on that very day, they ate of the produce of the land, unleavened cakes and parched grain. And the manna ceased the day after they ate of the produce of the land. And there was no longer manna for the people of Israel, but they ate of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.”
