TRANSCRIPT

•3 And Joshua rose early in the morning; and they removed from Shittim, and came to Jordan, he and all the children of Israel, and lodged there before they passed over.• 2 And it came to pass after three days, that the officers went through the host;

•3 And they commanded the people, saying, When ye see the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, and the priests the Levites bearing it, then ye shall remove from your place, and go after it.

•4 Yet there shall be a space between you and it, about two thousand cubits by measure: come not near unto it, that ye may know the way by which ye must go: for ye have not passed this way heretofore.

•5 And Joshua said unto the people, Sanctify yourselves: for to morrow the LORD will do wonders among you.

•The number 15 in the Bible pictures rest, which comes after deliverance, represented by fourteen.

•The 15th day of the first Hebrew month (Nisan) is the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, a day of rest.

•12 The land I gave to Abraham and Isaac I also give to you, and I will give this land to your descendants after you.” 13 Then God went up from him at the place where he had talked with him. (God appeared to him and renewed the covenant)

•Revelation 2:4 (KJV)

•4 Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love

•(When God wants to bless you, he brings a person into your life)

•(Nehemiah 1:1-4)

•1 The words of Nehemiah the son of Hachaliah. And it came to pass in the month Chisleu, in the twentieth year, as I was in Shushan the palace,

•2 That Hanani, one of my brethren, came, he and certain men of Judah; and I asked them concerning the Jews that had escaped, which were left of the captivity, and concerning Jerusalem.

• 3 And they said unto me, The remnant that are left of the captivity there in the province are in great affliction and reproach: the wall of Jerusalem also is broken down, and the gates thereof are burned with fire.

• 4 And it came to pass, when I heard these words, that I sat down and wept, and mourned certain days, and fasted, and prayed before the God of heaven, (Neh. 1:1-4)

•14 But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words:

•15 For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day.•16 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;

•17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:

•18 And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:•19 And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:
