Calvary Reflections
Reflecting on God's Word
Reflecting God to the World

Thanks!
Thanks to the men of the church for cooking and serving Easter breakfast.
Bible Reading
This week's Old Testament reading (Joshua 4-18) begins with some memorials erected in celebration of what God did for the Israelites.
In chapter 6 we see the destruction of Jericho. In 7 we see their defeat at Ai, all because of 1 family. In 8, they defeat Ai, and in 9 they make a poor peace treaty. Chapter 10-12 continue the action of the Israelites wiping out the land, and 14-18 covers the dividing of the land. (If you have a Bible map, you might want to use it as you look through these last couple of chapters).
Interesting thoughts:
· In Joshua chapter 4, did Joshua have 2 memorials set up? If so, what was the purpose of the one in the water? When would it have been seen?
· Who is this person in 5:13-15? Is it Jesus? Michael the Archangel? Another angel? A messenger from God?
· In chapter 10, the book of Jasher is an early account of Isreal's history.
· We see 3 summaries in this section, at 10:40, 11:16, and 12:7
· Chapter 14, verse 15, remember that the Anakim were giants.
· Chapter 16 – remember that Joseph got a double portion of the inheritance since he was the oldest son. His went to his 2 sons.
