The Crossing of the Jordan Made Simple

by Kimani Upshur, M.Ed.

The waters stood upon a heap — and Israel crossed on dry ground. This Scripture-first guide follows Joshua chapters 3-4: three days camped at a flooded Jordan, the command to sanctify themselves before the wonders, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth going before, the priests' feet touching the brim of the water, the river standing upon a heap at Adam, the whole nation passing over on dry ground, the twelve stones carried to Gilgal and the twelve stones set in the midst of the river, the rolling away of the reproach at Gilgal, and the Captain of the Lord's host with His drawn sword at Jericho. Every chapter points to Jesus Christ, the greater Joshua, who leads His people through a greater crossing — from death to life. Sanctified. Stepped. Remembered.
