It depends when you're counting from. According to traditional chronology, the Israelites entered the Promised Land in 1272 BCE. This was:
430 years after God promised it to Abraham in Genesis ch.15;
325 years after God promised it to Isaac in Genesis 26:3;
263 years after God promised it to Jacob in Genesis ch.28.
Genesis 6:3 says "Then the Lord said, 'My Spirit will not contend with man forever, for he is mortal; his days will be a hundred and twenty years.'" (NIV Version). The oldest person lived 122 years, 164 days. I consider 120 years as said in The Bible to mean the decade of 120 years old.
Enter the Bible says that a man is promised 3 score and 7 years that is not how long any man is able to live. The oldest man in the bible was not 120 years old. Methusalah, the father of Noah was 996 years old when he died and Noah himself was over 300 years old.

that God does not lie.
The story teaches us about the importance of faith, obedience, and perseverance in our relationship with God. It shows how God is faithful to fulfill His promises but also requires our trust and willingness to follow Him even when the journey is challenging. It encourages us to rely on God's guidance and provision as we journey towards our own "promised land" in life.
God, through the Bible, has promised us many spiritual rewards, the crown of righteousness, the crown of life etc. are some of them.
No god has promised us that he will not flood the earth , like he did at Noahs time.
God has given us all choice. In what we choose to do we learn. Sometimes learning takes many forms and tests us. This includes problems, mistakes, and affliction. Life is not easy and was never promised to be, but in all things that result it is hoped we learn and grow.
No. The world is never going to flood. God promised us that. Have you read the bible story "noah's ark" ? God made a promise that He'd never flood the earth again. That's what the rainbow means. Its true. Dont worry about the earth flooding, God never has and never will break His promises.
Jews believe that God promised the Holy Land to the Jewish people as an eternal inheritence (Genesis 28:10-14). They also believe that the land itself has a special character because of the Divinely-Created relationship between it and the Jewish people.
most of the us believe in god
When Jesus left earth, he promised the Holy Spirit to believers. The Holy Spirit is what enables us to know and understand God so that we an put Him first and love the things that He loves. The Holy Spirit helps us in particular to understand God's words as we read them in the Bible.
Here a couple of promises God made to man 1- God has promised to supply all our needs that we have/ 2- God has promised us victory over death. 3- God has promised eternal life. 4-God has promised that those who believe in Jesus and are baptized for the forgiveness of sins will be saved. 5-God has promised that all things work together for good to those who love and serve Him faithfully 6-God has promised that His children will not be overtaken with temptation. Instead, He assures us that a way of escape will be provided 7-God has promised that His grace is sufficient for us.
It tells us that god is an idiot because the promised land in a freaking desert. Why didn't he just take everyone to the Ganges or Tigris-Euphrates? No, he just had to be an idiot and lead them to a desert so that they would be dependent on him because god is either emotionally insecure or narcissistic. In essence, it tells us that god has very poor moral standards, standards that are far worse than the average layman's. We are also basically his ant farm, which he can manipulate as he pleases and threaten us with threats of eternal torture/punishment for finite crimes. Crimes that include not loving him back.
God is with in us
