Thought questions

  • What things in chapters 3 and 4 that connect to the Messiah?
    • Entering promised land and the 10th day of the first month.
    • v. 2 — At the end of the third day, they were told to get ready for the fourth day–crossing?

    • v. 3 — Anything ark moves, 6 tribes in front, 6 in back but this time, the ark leads, why?
    • v. 3 — tells us the people were to remain 2ooo cubits away from the ark. 1 cubit is the span of a man’s arm from elbow to fingertip. Why is this counting of man? How many years after this generation died to when anyone to follow Messiah?
    • Why are all these things symbolic of Messiah?
  • v. 7 — Why does God say he will "exalt you"?

  • What is the Dead Sea symbolic of in prophesy of Ezekiel’s Temple? (dead sea=man=nations)
  • v 14-15 — How are picking up 12 stones from under the ark in the river similar to the work of Yeshua’s 12 disciples?
  • ch. 4:9 — Why did Yehoshua put stones from the land into the river? How is that symbolic of Israel of nations without a home?
