Jos 4:3, … ‘Take for yourselves twelve stones from here, OUT OF THE MIDST OF THE JORDAN, from the place where the priests’ feet stood firm. YOU SHALL CARRY THEM OVER WITH YOU AND LEAVE THEM IN THE LODGING PLACE WHERE YOU LODGE TONIGHT.’
Jos 4:9, THEN JOSHUA SET UP TWELVE STONES IN THE MIDST OF THE JORDAN, IN THE PLACE WHERE THE FEET OF THE PRIESTS
There are 2 sets of 12 stones!
Jos 4:21-24, … ‘WHAT ARE THESE STONES?’ then you shall let your children know, saying, ‘Israel crossed over this Jordan on dry land’; …, as the LORD your God did to the Red Sea, … that all the peoples of the earth may know the hand of the LORD, THAT IT IS MIGHTY, THAT YOU MAY FEAR THE LORD YOUR GOD FOREVER
AS HUMANS WE TEND TO FORGET HIS WORKS! THAT’S WHY HE TELLS US “REMEMBER” LOOK BACK! THE STONES SETUP IN THE JORDAN WOULD BE COVERED UP! BUT IN TIMES OF DROUGHT THEY WOULD REVEAL THEMSELVES. THEN THEY CAN SEE THE STONES IN HARD TIMES AND REMEMBER THE MIGHTY HAND OF GOD! HE IS FAITHFUL, ESPECIALLY IN YOUR TIMES OF DROUGHT! HE WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU NOR FORSAKE YOU! WE ARE HIS PEOPLE & HE OUR LORD & GOD!
