Exodus 17:9

“So Moses said to Joshua, “Choose for us men, and go out and fight with Amalek. Tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the staff of God in my hand.”

This is the first place we find a mention of Joshua in the Bible. His name in Hebrew means: “God is salvation”. It is the same name as Jesus with a the same meaning and this of course is not be accident. In all that Joshua does, God will be showing us what Jesus would do.

Joshua would lead the people into the promise land as did Jesusl. See that great victories were won by Joshua at the beginning. After Joshua left the scene, however the people compromised with the inhabitants. We see the church did the same. We had great victories at the first but then we made peace with the world. So one can read the history of Israel and learn what happened to the church and what is ahead.

Moses on the mountain sending down Joshua to fight the Amalekites is a picture of God on the mountain, (heaven), sending Jesus into the world. Joshua was told to choose men. Jesus did the same when Jesus chose the disciples. It was not everyone who was chosen, it was the ones who would become warriors. It was not simply the twelve Jesus chose, there were many besides the first disciples that followed Jesus into battle.

These disciples would go out and fight with the foes, in Exodus 17 it is the Amalekites. In the day of Jesus the disciples fright against Satan and Israel itself for Israel had become apostate.

One sees the outline of the coming of Jesus and the history of the church what is being told to us here and later on.

Exodo 17: 1-7 Agua de una roca

Bible study in Exodus 17: 1-7 Water from a rock with Pastor Mike Young, Pastor Garry Mitchel, Minister Tim Fogarty, and Charlie Ellis

17 The whole Israelite community set out from the Desert of Sin, traveling from place to place as the Lord commanded. They camped at Rephidim, but there was no water for the people to drink. 2 So they quarreled with Moses and said, “Give us water to drink.”

Moses replied, “Why do you quarrel with me? Why do you put the Lord to the test?”

3 But the people were thirsty for water there, and they grumbled against Moses. They said, “Why did you bring us up out of Egypt to make us and our children and livestock die of thirst?”

4 Then Moses cried out to the Lord, “What am I to do with these people? They are almost ready to stone me.”

5 The Lord answered Moses, “Go out in front of the people. Take with you some of the elders of Israel and take in your hand the staff with which you struck the Nile, and go. 6 I will stand there before you by the rock at Horeb. Strike the rock, and water will come out of it for the people to drink.” So Moses did this in the sight of the elders of Israel. 7 And he called the place Massah[a] and Meribah[b] because the Israelites quarreled and because they tested the Lord saying, “Is the Lord among us or not?”
