JOSHUA 3-Crossing Of The Jordan - 11:17:25, 6.52 PM
Description
Joshua 3
recounts the Israelites' crossing of the Jordan River, where they consecrated themselves in preparation for a miracle. As the priests carrying the Ark of the Covenant stepped into the river, the water stopped flowing upstream, and the entire nation crossed to the Promised Land on dry ground. This event demonstrated God's power and faithfulness, with the priests remaining in the river until everyone had crossed.
- Preparation: Before crossing, Joshua told the people to "consecrate yourselves" because the Lord was going to perform wonders.
- The Crossing: At Joshua's command, the priests carrying the Ark of the Covenant stepped into the flooding Jordan River.
- The Miracle: As soon as their feet touched the water, the river stopped flowing upstream at the city of Adam, allowing the entire nation of Israel to cross on dry ground.
- Symbolism: The miracle was a sign to the people that God was with them and would help them conquer the land, fulfilling His promises.
- Lasting Memorial: After the crossing, Joshua instructed the people to take twelve stones from the riverbed to create a memorial for future generations to remember this event.
