Joshua 3:4 – 2,000 cubits is over 1\/2 of a mile. They had to follow at that distance. Seems like a long way if you want to make sure you’re not separated.
\nJoshua 3:5 – What would you be thinking if your leader came before you and said “Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do wonders among you.”? I wonder what they did to ‘consecrate’ themselves.
\nJoshua 3:7 – As in the days of Acts, God did miracles at the hands of the leaders (in this case Joshua) to show that He was with them.
\nJoshua 3:13 – I always wondered what that looked like, waters standing in a heap up stream at Adam (according to verse 16).
\nJoshua 4:1-7 – I wonder what became of these stones.

They may be there now, still testifying in anonymity as to what God once did for his people. Now, we can see what the rocks were meant to show us by reading the Bible, so their testimony is not lost.
\nJoshua 4:8-10 – Verse 8 says they carried the stones to where they had lodged, but verses 9 & 10 imply that they were set up in the Jordan where the priests had stood.
\nJoshua 4:20 – This says they were set up at Gilgal. I suspect they were not set up in the Jordan, but were on the shore somewhere. Perhaps they set them up in the Jordan while they were crossing and then moved them to the shore when they were done?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
