This series on Bible Typologies is based off my notes, which I took as I studied the Bible and various resources on this topic in Feb 2025.
And the priests that bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD stood firm on dry ground in the midst of Jordan, and all the Israelites passed over on dry ground, until all the people were passed clean over Jordan.
Josh 3:17, KJV
Story (Josh 3-4):
After Joshua sent the two spies into Jericho, and through the help of Rahab, they escaped.
And came back to tell Joshua good news that God has already gone ahead of them, to give them the land.
And how all the inhabitants of Jericho faint, because they heard how God parted the Red Sea and delivered the Israelites out of Egypt, and many other miracles God did.
Then Joshua rose early in the morning, and brought all the children of Israel to the river bank at Jordan, to prepare to cross.
And three days, the officers went through the camp of Israel giving orders to the people on crossing, to look out for God’s ark of the covenant, and follow it.
And they are also to maintain a distance of at least 914m, from the ark, and not go near into it.
So the day before they were to cross river Jordan, Joshua commanded the people to sanctity themselves, for tomorrow God will do wonders among them.
The next day, Joshua commanded the priests to take the ark of the covenant, and pass over before the people. And they did so, the ark was passed over Israelites.
And God told Joshua, that this day He will begin to magnify him in the sight of Israel, that they may know that, as He was with Moses, so will He be with him.
And God instructed Joshua, that he should command the priests bearing the ark, that when they came to the brink of the water of Jordan, they should stand still.
So Joshua spoke to the children of Israel, and reminded them that the living God is among them.
And He will without fail drive out from before before them, the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Hivites, and the Perizzites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Jebusites.
The God commanded the Israelites to take a representative man, from each twelve tribe of Israel.
And He told them, that as soon as the soles of the feet of the priests carrying the ark of God, rest in the waters of Jordan, the waters of Jordan shall be cut off from the waters that came down from above.
And the waters shall stand upon an heap, similar to the crossing of the Red Sea.
And so when the priests reached the waters of river Jordan, the banks were overflowing at the time.
But as soon as their feet dipped in the brim of the water, the waters from river’s upstream stopped flowing.
And it piled up in a heap at a great distance away, while the water flowing downstream to the Sea of Arabah, which is the Dead Sea, was completely cut off.
And the people passed over river Jordan, right against Jericho.
And the priests that bore the ark of the covenant of God, stood firm on dry ground in the midst of Jordan.
And all the Israelites passed over on dry ground, and priests waited until the whole nation had completely crossed the river.
Then God spoke to Joshua to take twelve men out of the people, one from each tribe.
And they are to take a stone, where the priests stood firm, so there would be twelve stones.
And they are to carry them, and leave them in the lodging place, where they would lodge that night.
That the stones might be a sign among the Israelites, that in future when children ask their fathers, what these stones represent.
They can answer their children, that the waters of Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the Lord.
And these stones shall be for a memorial into the children of Israel forever.
So the children of Israel did as Joshua commanded, and took up twelve stones in the midst of Jordan, where the priests which carried the ark of God stood.
And the stones were placed near the river at a place God named it Gilgal, and remained there to this day.
Gigal representing how on that day, He rolled away the reproach of Egypt from the Israelites, where they were finally able to enter the promise land after forty years walking in the wilderness.
After all Israelites completely passed over the river Jordan, about forty thousand of them prepared before the Lord unto battle, to the plains of Jericho.
And on that day, the Lord magnified Joshua in the sight of all Israel, and they feared him, as they feared Moses, all the days of his life.
And the Lord spoke to Joshua to command the priest that bear the ark, to come out of Jordan river.
And when they came out of the midst of the river, and their soles of their feet were lifted into dry land, the waters of Jordan returned unto their place, and flowed over all its banks, as they did before.
And so the people came out of Jordan on the tenth day of the first month, encamping in Gilgal.
And the Lord said to Joshua to make sharp knives, and circumcise again the children of Israel the second time.
Because all the people who came out from Egypt initially were circumcised, but because of their sin, they were not allowed to enter the promise land.
But for those that were born in the wilderness, while Israel spent forty years there, they were not circumcised.
And they also kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the month during the evening that day, even in the pains of Jericho.
Passover was first instituted in Exo 12, where the Israelites were commanded to apply the blood of a male lamb without blemish, over the door of their houses.
Then have the Passover meal quickly, for it is the Lord’s Passover.
Where He passed through the land of Egypt that night, and smite all firstborn of the Egyptians, those who did not apply on the blood on their house door.
Typology:
When we look at the time of Passover, it is the beginning of the Jewish year.
Some people think that Shavuot might be the time of the rapture, others believe it’s on the Pentecost feast of new wine, or further on during the Feast of Trumpets.
I believe Purim is one of God’s exclusive feast, and it would be replayed during the tribulation, about Israel.
It would play again that Israel was about to the destroyed, and God would save them just like in the story of Purim.
Read the book of Esther, for how Purim commemorated the defeat of wicked Hamas plot to massacre the Jews.
So I don’t think Purim is the rapture time, so I’m looking past that too.
2025 Dates: Passover (Apr) -> Shavuot (Jun) -> Pentecost (Jun) -> Feast of Trumpets (Sep) -> Day of Atonement (Oct) -> Purim (Mar)
But for anyone that is looking past the Passover time, and let me clarify, I don’t just mean the 14th of Nisan, or 17th of Nisan, which is resurrection day.
But the 10th of Nisan, which is when Joshua brought the children of Israel across Jordan.
We will look at the church, and think of our mother as Israel.
We think of ourselves as grafted in children of Abraham, so we are children of the promise, and children of Israel.
And Joshua, whose name means Jesus, or Yeshua.
And Jesus separated the Jordan, the Jordan means the descent.
So from God to us is the descent, where he descends from the clouds and raptures the church, snatching them from the tribulation to come, where we will meet Him in the air.
1 Thess 4:16-18: For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God, and the dead in Christ shall rise first. Then we who are alive shall be caught up (Greek word “harpazo” / snatched / rapture) together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, so we shall ever be with the Lord.
So imagine Him separating the descent like the great Red Sea / Jordan, and opening up the portal to the highest heavens / third heaven.
And He comes down with a loud trumpet and with a voice and says, come up here.
And we come up, and we cross the descent, which would be an ascent for us.
And when they were in the promise land, they were circumcised of their flesh, and we would be circumcised of our human flesh into our supernatural bodies.
The dead in Christ will raise first. And then we who are alive and remain, would be caught up into the promise land.
And we will celebrate Passover in the “promise land” / heaven with Jesus, just like how the Israelites celebrated Passover in the promise land.
Now what does the sun, moon, and stars look like at the time?
There is Rapture Fish, and rapture fish turns right into: my chains are gone, I have been set free.
And the next step is the bride who has adorned herself, so we are sitting next to Jesus.
So when God did His great Passover in 32 AD (Jesus crucifixion), He had the sun testifying of the Lamb going as a sunset, when He had given up the ghost, the Lamb went to the grave.
On the other side, the moon arose in the Scales, and the next day it arose in the Scorpian representing Jesus’ time in hell.
And on the third day (Nisan 17), the moon arose in the Champion, and it’s got the snake by the neck and the tail, showing victory over Him.
When Jesus was conceived, at Hanukah, the sun was in the Champion, and moon is in the womb of Virgo, on the 25th day of the ninth month.
When God does the Feast of Trumpets, He has the woman clothed with the Sun and the moon under her feet (Rev 12).
As we go through to the Day of Atonement, the moon moves through 10 constellation spots to get to Day of Atonement.
Where Aquarius is pouring out water, like pouring out judgement, which is what happens on Day of Atonement.
And then when we Tabernacle, we see the moon is in the crab, representing the sheep fold.
And all of the stories are told.
So at the Rapture, would you not expect this event that was planned before the creation of earth.
God had already planned, I’m going to bring my bride at this appointed time.
He didn’t make the appointed times first, then say hmm I’m going to do a rapture, which one should I use.
No, He had a plan of rapturing His bride, and then He made appointed times on the earth, that He taught Israel to represent His plans.
So the plans came first, and if we would have just know Satan was going to lie.
If you knew for sure, that the cross event was 32 AD, it was just an established fact, everything online agreed and all ancient texts agreed.
And everything was just verified, that the cross event was at 32 AD.
Would most of us that understand that prophecy, say that the second coming is going to be at 2032.
If we knew the absolute beginning year, we could count the 4000th year, the 6000th year.
Please refer to Bible Typologies: God’s Six Days Creation and Seventh Day Rest article, for how Jesus had already came to die on the cross at the 4000th year, and is coming again at the 6000th year.
So what has happened is, we have been chasing around the lies. That’s not our fault.
We all did our best, to do the deal diligence and research all the different things. And we’re really close!
We have got to the place, where we felt there was so much evidence supporting a 31 AD crucifixion.
Since it has passed the time which that was possible, we now check that off.
But 32 AD is legitimate, 33 AD now however gets more into the lies that they (Satan) were trying to push.
And beyond 34 AD, it just doesn’t make any sense at all, with the history that we do know for sure.
So here we are, we are at 32 AD. And there was a great disappointment, when we understood we were called.
You know if we wouldn’t have known this, and heard about some end time stuff. Then we would be like, it’s not till 2025 at least.
Because you count back from 2032, seven years back to 2025.
So what if had not have known that, and never started the watchmen community.
You know how sad would that have been.
So we recognised that a few years back, that we were called to be a seven years of plenty. As when Joseph had his seven years of plenty.
So there was a great disappointment when we passed that seven years, from the Rev 12 sign, to Feast of Trumpets last year.
And we were like, oh no for sure this is a seven year warning.
This is God being seven years with Leah, before working the seven years to get Rachel (please refer to Bible Typologies: Rachel and Leah article).
And so it fits perfectly with this typology.
And we were now really confused, as now we are going towards eight years.
Is it eight because of a new beginning? But where is the typology?
I declare the end from the beginning, as God always does (Isa 46:9-10).
So it’s got to be here in the Bible somewhere.
I used to think and teach, yes the jubilee year is declared on the 10th day of the seventh month.
But you started at the following year.
If you’re going to declare a year as hallowed, meaning holy and set apart.
So you’re going to say this jubilee year is going to be holy and set apart.
And you’re going to declare it, on the 10th day of the seventh month, as it says in Lev 25:9-10.
Lev 25:9-10: Then have the trumpet sounded everywhere on the tenth day of the seventh month, on the Day of Atonement. Consecrate (hallow) the fiftieth year and proclaim liberty throughout the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee for you, each of you to return to your family.
Declare that year, after seven sets of seven, then declare the fiftieth year, hallowed. And declare it on the 10th day of the seventh month.
Let me put that into English for you.
Let’s say that God told us, that after every seven years, you make a notation of a special year of rest.
So for example, from the year 2000 to 2007, you say 2007 is a special year.
Similarly 2014 is a special year, 2021 is a special year, and so on.
And after seven sets of seven, on the seventh month, 10th day, I want you to declare next year, the 50th year, to be holy.
So on the 10th of the seventh month, of the seven sets of seven, you are in the 49th year.
On the 10th of the seventh month, you say next year is holy. So when would you start the year?
Surely we would start it after the end of the 49th year. And that’s still how it is, but maybe that’s why nobody knows the Day or the Hour too (Matt 24:36).
Juggling with all these calendars, and trying to learn a new culture how the Hebrews do it.
But God calls it the 10th day of the seventh month. But you can’t declare a year holy on that date, because that’s not a whole year.
Think of holy, and think of whole.
So what would that equate to us, that would be Nissan 1.
So now, the warning came 2017, at the Feast of Trumpets, we saw the Rev 12 sign, which was a warning of the coming Rapture.
Where the child was born of a woman clothed with the Sun and the moon under her feet, and caught up.
So now we say, when does the seven years of plenty start? When did it start for Joseph?
Joseph interprets Pharaoh’s dream, that you are going to have seven years of plenty / good / harvest, and then you are going to have seven years of horrible famine.
When did the harvest start, where Joseph said, now we are going to take and save one-fifth of everything we bring in?
At the harvest time in Nissan, with the very first harvest of the barley which started at Nissan.
We don’t know exactly when he interpreted the dreams, but the harvest would start in Nissan.
And we have always said as with barley, that it is an easy harvest.
It is knocked off the branches, that’s our tribulation of life, unto a big white sheet.
Then the big white sheet is tossed in the air, and the wind blows the chaff away, leaving white barley.
And it’s such a perfect rapture scenario, and so we’re tossed up in the air.
And just like our salvation, the Holy Spirit blows away the chaff of the old man, and we are a new creation in Christ.
So that very first harvest, that is when Joseph started gathering the plenty.
So our seven years of plenty, would actually start in 2018, at about Mar / Apr, at the Nissan 1.
Now we count forward, seven years of plenty, until we reach Nissan of 2025 (30 Mar 2025).
So our seven years of plenty is still intact, and our understanding of the jubilee is still intact.
And we now, are following the word more accurately, as it was said in Exo 12.
This, Nissan, shall be the beginning of years for you.
So Nissan 10, is our first big watch date, which is going to be about Apr 9th.
Nissan 1 is going to be where, the new sliver would be seen in the lamb setting after sunset, on Mar 30.
And it goes into the ground, so the first day Nissan 1, would be Mar 31.
And Apr 1, would be Nissan 2, and so on.
And so our first high watch, is Apr 9th.
This corresponds to Nissan 10, when Joshua led the Israelites to cross river Jordan, so let’s get ready for the Rapture, and Jesus coming!
