Joshua 3:3 (NIV) 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. Crossing the Jordon: God telling Joshua too move 3 million Jews into the promise land where idol worshipping, wicked people currently inhabit. Likewise, today at this present time, God telling tell us individually to step out in this dark anti- Christian world in which we live. Therefore, we can study Joshua entering the promise land and learn how God want us to move forward in our present dark world. God gives us a physical picture of what HE is doing spiritually. The very first thing we see “the ark of the Covenant” the place where God promised to meet with the Israelites moving out.
