  • PAT LAWRENCE on Joshua 4 - 3 years ago
    In Joshua 4 verse 9, Joshua set up stones in the midst of the Jordan where the priests stood, it says they are there unto this day, and they set up the stones in Gilgal, so there had to be two sets of stones the ones Joshua set up in the Jordan and the ones they took to Gilgal where Joshua pitched them in verse 20 of chapter 4. Am I right about this or what am I not seeing here.

    Sometimes I put myself on snail speed because I want the Holy Spirit to show the mysteries. Joshua 4

    At this time, Moses has died and Joshua has been anointed to lead. JUST AS the Red Sea was parted (opened so people could pass through without getting wet), When the Egyptians were trying to kill them when Moses was alive.

    It has taken 40 years for the older (Egypt loving generation) to die. It was their unbelief that stayed in the desert with their burial places. As I've said often: God does not like MIXTURES. And I define that, as unbelief mixed with shaky faith; mixing godliness with worldliness.

    The priests carrying the Ark of the Covenant pause in the middle of Jordan. The people pass by to the other bank. The 12 men pick up a stone and carry it on their shoulder for To build a monument on the other side. After the people pass through, the priests then bear the Ark to the other side.

    I believe the statement "clean passed over" means that nobody's clothes or shoes got wet or muddy. The Mighty God held the water back; it says the water was standing vertical.

    That's a miracle Hollywood missed I guess. Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I believe the best is yet to come.

    I believe you're right in your understanding with these two verses. There doesn't seem to be any other explanation as to when these other twelve stones were gathered from the Jordan to be pitched in Gilgal. So, I too, cannot see anything else to suggest differently.
