For Israel the Land Between was a physical location. It was the Sinai Peninsula. It was then and is now a desolate place of limited vegetation and even less fresh water. It was a wilderness. It is a desert. And it would be their home for forty years. As the Israelites journey OUT FROM the lush fertile home of their past IN TO the lush fertile home of their future, they pass through the wilderness, a desert, the Land Between. For Israel, the Land Between was also more than a physical location. It was also the place of uncertainty, of testing, and of desperation. It was the place where faith was discovered and lost.
