Three & One

Ephraim, Manasseh and the daughters of Zelophehad seek an inheritance in different ways leading to different outcomes. Seven tribes stall on claiming their inheritance. Jesus attends a wedding and cleanses the temple.

Joshua, old and advanced in years, with still so much more land that has yet to be possessed. Kid Caleb calls out, "Give me my mountain!".  And, Jesus, The Word made flesh, full of grace and truth, THE Lamb of God.

Battle after battle after battle, all belonging to the Lord, as the Lord fought for Israel, established Israel and ended the wicked ones and the events on and immediately after Resurrection Sunday.

Achan, Ai and the valley of Achor, the consequences of coveting and acquiring without asking God, the consequences of making a covenant without asking God and Jesus faces Pilate, faces Herod, takes the place of Barabbas is crucified, dies and is buried.

Joshua leads Israel to cross the Jordan. Joshua encounters the pre-incarnate Christ. Jericho falls as the people of God fight by faith and Jesus endures the events leading up to the cross.

Joshua is encouraged exhorted and enabled by God’s presence, and by God’s command, to be strong and very courageous. Joshua sends in spies, prepares the people and crosses the Jordan. And, Jesus prepares His people for His second coming.

Moses blesses Israel, Moses is shown the promised land, Moses dies on the mountain, Joshua in the new leader and the Pharisees, the Sadducees and the scribes all try to trap Jesus.

Moses on his way to Mt. Nebo to die as discipline for misrepresenting God, Jesus invites Himself over, gives a parable about faithful stewardship and weeps over Jerusalem because they did not know the TIME of their visitation.

Blessings on obedience, curses on disobedience, the Covenant renewed, including drastic discipline for walking away, including amazing grace for returning to obey and parables concerning prayer.

More miscellaneous laws, the heart behind giving our first fruits to to God, the law inscribed on stones as testimony of blessing and of cursing and Jesus miraculously heals ten lepers but only one returns to say, "Thank You!".
