Christ gave Israel manna in the wilderness,
but Israel wanted quail, so he gave them quail
as they desired though it brought his wrath.
What does that mean for today?
It means if people do not want the salvation
Christ has for them,
he may give them what they want.
This is what manna is a symbol of:
Christ, the true bread from heaven.
When the gospel had been hid from the world,
Jesus showed the world from heaven that
his righteousness rather than any of our own
is the righteousness required for salvation,
and the Protestant movement began.
But today that imputation of the righteousness
of Christ is mostly disregarded and ignored
as older Protestant theology.
This is what is now in its place:
The currently popular teaching of salvation
by surrender that actually cannot save anyone.
Surrender is the result, not the cause of salvation.
The gospel does not change:
We are saved the moment we trust in Christ alone
so that he regards his own righteousness as ours,
and so we have eternal life.
All trust must be on Christ in order to have eternal life.
