Brother Seye continues the series by using the imagery of Israel’s captivity and slavery, their sojourning through the wilderness on their way to Canaan; to explain the deceitfulness of sin and its consequent hardening in the Hebrew Christians and to us in the modern church. The deceitfulness of sin makes us consider the slavery and bondage we were delivered from as better than the abundance of God's grace we have freely received in salvation Just as the Israelites considered Egypt and cursed God in their hearts and did not enter into God's physical rest (Canaan), so also the believer who looks back at his sins favourably will be carried away by it and lose the ultimate rest of God in Christ Jesus.
