Joshua 3: God Tells Joshua To Use Ark Of The Covenant To Part The Jordan River

1 Early in the morning Joshua and all the Israelites set out from Shittim and went to the Jordan, where they camped before crossing over. 

2 After three days the officers went throughout the camp, 

3 giving orders to the people: “When you see the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God, and the Levitical priests carrying it, you are to move out from your positions and follow it. 

4 Then you will know which way to go, since you have never been this way before. But keep a distance of about two thousand cubits between you and the ark; do not go near it.”

5 Joshua told the people, “Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do amazing things among you.”

6 Joshua said to the priests, “Take up the ark of the covenant and pass on ahead of the people.” So they took it up and went ahead of them.

7 And the Lord said to Joshua, “Today I will begin to exalt you in the eyes of all Israel, so they may know that I am with you as I was with Moses. 

8 Tell the priests who carry the ark of the covenant: ‘When you reach the edge of the Jordan’s waters, go and stand in the river.’”

9 Joshua said to the Israelites, “Come here and listen to the words of the Lord your God. 

10 This is how you will know that the living God is among you and that he will certainly drive out before you the Canaanites, Hittites, Hivites, Perizzites, Girgashites, Amorites and Jebusites. 

11 See, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth will go into the Jordan ahead of you. 

12 Now then, choose twelve men from the tribes of Israel, one from each tribe. 

13 And as soon as the priests who carry the ark of the Lord—the Lord of all the earth—set foot in the Jordan, its waters flowing downstream will be cut off and stand up in a heap.”

14 So when the people broke camp to cross the Jordan, the priests carrying the ark of the covenant went ahead of them. 

15 Now the Jordan is at flood stage all during harvest. Yet as soon as the priests who carried the ark reached the Jordan and their feet touched the water’s edge, 

16 the water from upstream stopped flowing. It piled up in a heap a great distance away, at a town called Adam in the vicinity of Zarethan, while the water flowing down to the Sea of the Arabah (that is, the Dead Sea) was completely cut off. So the people crossed over opposite Jericho. 

17 The priests who carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord stopped in the middle of the Jordan and stood on dry ground, while all Israel passed by until the whole nation had completed the crossing on dry ground.

Zealous for God

1 After the plague, the Lord said to Moses and to Eleazar the son of Aaron, the priest, 2 “Take a census of all the congregation of the people of Israel, from twenty years old and upward, by their fathers’ houses, all in Israel who are able to go to war.” 3 And Moses and Eleazar the priest spoke with them in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho, saying, 4 “Take a census of the people, from…

The Unique List of Revelation 7 & Firstfruits

written by Will Schumacher

Revelation 7 has a unique list of tribes that form the 144,000 sealed:

Revelation 7:4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.

5 Of the tribe of Judah were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand.

6 Of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Nephthalim were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses were sealed twelve thousand.

7 Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand.

8 Of the tribe of Zabulon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand.

Missing is Ephraim and Dan. Included is Levi and Joseph. Joesph’s two sons Manasseh and Ephraim are typically used in place of Joseph.

The gematria of the unusual list in Greek is 8480 in-text as written:

Judah 485

Reuben 630

Gad 8

Asher 309

Naphtali 650

Mannasseh 500

Simeon 1495

Levi 445

Issachar 912

Zebulon 1360

Joseph 1518

Benjamin 168

8480 ft = 2584.7 meters or 2585 if you round it off. Strong’s H2585 = Enoch

Enoch is a type of the Church.

The above is something I have posted on before and have always found interesting. What is next blew my mind away.

Let’s look at the Hebrew gematria then.

I added up the gematria of the 12 tribes camping around the Tabernacle in Numbers 2.

The total gematria is 3390. (Ephraim 331, Manasseh 395, Benjamin 152, Dan 54, Asher 501, Naphtali 570, Judah 30, Issachar 530, Zebulon 95, Reuben 259, Simeon 466, Gad 7)

Strong’s H3390 = Jerusalem.

New Jerusalem in the Bible is the Bride. The Numbers 2 encampment of the tribes around the tabernacle/the place where God dwells is a picture of New Jerusalem.

When you take the Numbers 2 encampment and the gematria of the tribes of 3390 and take out Ephraim and Dan and their gematria of 331 and 54 and add in the gematria of Joseph and Levi of 156 and 46 to reflect the list of Revelation 7 you get 3207.

3390-331-54+156+46 = 3207.

The number 3207 is quite fascinating.

The 144,000 of Revelation 7 are sealed. The 144,000 of Revelation 14 are called “firstfruits”.

The firstfruits are the 7 species of Israel found in Deuteronomy 8:8. The gematria of this verse is 3207:

Deuteronomy 8:8 A land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of oil olive, and honey;

So the 144,000 sealed have a Hebrew Gematria of 3207. The 144,000 are called firstfruits. The firstfruits of Israel are listed once in the bible in a verse with a gematria of 3207. Interesting.

From Wikipedia about the first fruits:

“Shavuot was also the first day on which individuals could bring the Bikkurim (first fruits) to the Temple in Jerusalem (Mishnah Bikkurim 1:3). The Bikkurim were brought from the Seven Species for which the Land of Israel is praised: wheat, barley, grapes, figs, pomegranates, olives, and dates (Deut. 8:8).

In the largely agrarian society of ancient Israel, Jewish farmers would tie a reed around the first ripening fruits from each of these species in their fields. At the time of harvest, the fruits identified by the reed would be cut and placed in baskets woven of gold and silver. The baskets would then be loaded on oxen whose horns were gilded and laced with garlands of flowers, and who were led in a grand procession to Jerusalem. As the farmer and his entourage passed through cities and towns, they would be accompanied by music and parades.[9]”

Notice from the above story that the firstfruits were marked just like we are marked or sealed with the Spirit and the 144,000 are sealed in the book of Revelation.

We are the firstfruits marked by the Spirit. The 144,000 is the completed Church.

This IDF combat soldier who was in the process of converting to Judaism, requested that the Beit Din (Jewish Court) allow him to convert before he goes into the war in Gaza.

They accepted his request and he completed the conversion. In the picture he is reciting the shema prayer which is customary after reciting the oaths which is a part of the conversion. 

Mazal tov and welcome back to the tribe ❤️🇮🇱

Gifts Worthy of a Great God

1 On the day when Moses had finished setting up the tabernacle and had anointed and consecrated it with all its furnishings and had anointed and consecrated the altar with all its utensils, 2 the chiefs of Israel, heads of their fathers’ houses, who were the chiefs of the tribes, who were over those who were listed, approached 3 and brought their offerings before the Lord, six wagons and twelve…

Polabian mostly follows the usual Slavic convention for naming days of the week (Saturday is *sobota, “the Sabbath”; Sunday is *nedě̀ľa, “[day of] no work”, and Monday is *ponedě̀ľa, “[day] after Sunday”; the rest are numbered starting with *vŭtorŭkŭ, “the second [day]”, i.e. Tuesday), with two very interesting exceptions:

Thursday is perĕndan — “Perun's day”. Wiktionary claims this to be a calque of Low German Dunnersdag, “Thunder's day” (also the etymology of English Thursday, obv). epic

Friday is skǫpĕ, apparently from Proto-Slavic *skǫpŭ — “expensive; valuable” (whence Serbo-Croatian skup, “expensive”). Wiktionary doesn't offer any explanation for the word's etymology, though I wonder whether it could also represent some kind of calque; specifically of Low German Freedag or the like, “Frigg-day”. or is this too much of a stretch..?

In 1920, Syria Palestina was a Roman-named colony or region, not a country, (aka Palestine), stretching from Iraq to southern Syria, and of course, there was no country called Jordan. The word Palestine was 100% derived from the Hebrew name for the Philistines. There is no evidence of a written language left by the philistines and the only name that they were known by was the name given to them by the Hebrews at the time. The evolution of the word went something like this:

פלש—פלישתים—ארץ פלשת—סוריה פלסטינה/פלשתינה—פלסטין/פלשתין

PaLaSh—plishtim—the land of paleset—Syria Palestina (the name given to the land of Israel and Judea as a punishment by the Roman)—- Palestine

PaLaSh is the Hebrew root word for invade meaning we called the sea fairing invaders by their actual name, invaders

Important to know that the Arabs absolutely DENIED ANY RELEVANCE and would not ascribe and meaning re: "Palestine" for themselves.

Arab nationalists in the post-WWI period ADAMANTLY rejected the designation. Arab spokesmen continued to insist that the land was, like Lebanon, merely a fragment of Syria. On the grounds that it dismembered an ideal unitary Arab state, they fought before the Anglo-American Committee of Inquiry and at the United Nations. The Arab historian Philip K. Hitti informed the Anglo-American Committee of Inquiry that “there is no such thing as Palestine in history.”

In 1937, Awni Bey Abdul-Hadi, founder of the first Palestinian Arab political party, testified to the Peel Commission, "There is no such country as Palestine. 'Palestine' is a term the Zionists invented. There is no Palestine in the Bible. Palestine is alien to us."

In May 1956, Ahmed Shukairy, who became the first head of the Palestine Liberation Organization (at a time when Jordan had annexed the "West Bank" and Egypt controlled Gaza), declared to the United Nations Security Council, “It is common knowledge that Palestine is nothing but southern Syria.”

In February 1970, Prince El Hassan bin Tala of Jordan, stated to the Jordanian National Assembly that "Palestine is Jordan and Jordan is Palestine; there is one people and one land, with one history and one and the same fate." Seven months later, the PLO attempted to take over Jordan, lost, and were unceremoniously, kicked out.

In 1977, PLO Executive Committee member Zahir Muhsein stated, "The Palestinian people do not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for our continuing struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. … In reality there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians, and Lebanese."

One might argue that this particular group of Arabs established, sometime in the mid 1960s, a political identity as "Palestinians," when Arafat returned from strategic partnership meetings with the Soviets communists who were attempting to gain a larger foothold in the region, and advised him how to use "Palestine" identity as a cudgel against Israel.

What they are NOT is "ancient" inhabitants of the region which, under Ottoman rule, was also dubbed "Syria-Palestine." What they are NOT is any sort of distinct ETHNIC group—like the Judeans (Judea/Samaria/Israel), the Phoenicians (Lebanon), the Kurds, the Druze, or the Circassians. They are Arabs, sharing the language, culture, religion, cuisine, ethnic group, etc. of the people of Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia. Prior to the 1960s, before the PLO was created, there were ZERO Arabs self-identifying as Palestinians. During the 19 years that Jordan controlled the so-called "West Bank" (Judea and Samaria, which had been cleansed of Jews by the Jordanians) and when Egypt controlled Gaza, there was no movement to create a "Palestinian" state.

Attached is a photo of the Palestine Symphony Orchestra in 1936, which consisted of 73 jewish musicians, and conducted by none other than Arturo Toscanini (born in Parma, father was a tailor). Toscanini was the music director at La Scala, before spending spent 7 years conducting the New York Metropolitan Opera (1908-1915) and the New York Philharmonic (1926-1936). He lived out his latter years in NYC, about a 1/2 mile from where I lived for a decade from 2005-2015 in Riverdale (Bronx), which is now called Wave Hill, a non-profit cultural institution and botanical garden, located on 26 acres adjacent to the Hudson River.
