The Good Land – The Destruction of Jericho
When the children of Israel entered and took possession of the good land, the first city they took was Jericho.

The Good Land – Christ as the Captain of Jehovah’s Army
As previously discussed, the good land was not gained by a single individual, but by a corporate people whom God raised up for the fulfillment of His purpose (link to post). In this post we will go on to see that God’s people were not formed into a leaderless army. Rather, they were led into […]

The Burnt Offering Life
In Leviticus 1:9, God speaks of the burnt offering, one of the many offerings that the Israelites offered to Him: “…The priest shall burn the whole on the altar, as a burnt offering, an offering by fire, a satisfying fragrance to Jehovah.” This offering was wholly burnt on the altar; nothing was left for man […]
