Summary

Christ is the antitype of the ark. He is the only way to the heavenly Canaan. The way to glory through the Jordan River (a type of death) is an untrodden and trackless path. All men must eventually go through the river of death, but only once. And those who pass through it have never gone that way before. However, before crossing the Jordan, Israel was commanded to consecrate themselves. In the ceremonial sense, Israel was commanded to consecrate themselves by washing their bodies and clothes, as well as abstaining from relations with their wives. In the moral sense, Israel was commanded to consecrate themselves by prayer, meditation, and the repentance of sin. In order to pass through the river of death to the heavenly Canaan, believers must be sanctified. For without holiness, no man shall see the Lord (Hebrews 12:14).

0:09.6	admonition of the Lord. Praise God for you and that endeavor. However, algorithms are a thing.
0:16.3	Shadow banning, sadly, is a thing. And one major way that you can help to expand the reach and effectiveness
0:23.2	of this ministry that doesn't cost you a dime is by spending just a few moments leaving us a five-star

0:55.8	When I finish reading the text, I'm going to say, this is the Word of the Lord, at which
1:00.0	point I would appreciate very much if you would respond by saying thanks be to God.
1:05.5	One final time, our text for today is Joshua, chapter 3 verses 1 through 17 the Bible says this then Joshua rose early in the

1:37.0	Levitical priest, then you shall set out from your place and follow it.
1:41.9	Yet there shall be a distance between you and it, about 2,000 cubits in length.
1:48.9	Do not come near it in order that you may know the way you shall go, for you have not passed this way
1:55.7	before. Then Joshua said to the people, consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do wonders among you.
