Isn’t the heart already back to the world

Even though the body is in the church?

The reason why God didn’t lead the Israelites

By the way of the land of Philistines, even though it was near,

But let them around the way of the wilderness to the Red Sea

Was because “The people might change their minds when they see war, and return to Egypt”

(Exod. 13:17-18).

It seems that their hearts were already back to Egypt

Even though their bodies were in the wilderness (14:11-12; 16:3; 17:3; 32:1, 4, 8).
