Joshua 4:2-4 contains a parallelism on the selection of 12 stones within a chiasm on the selection of 12 men. Stones often represent people in Scripture.
A. Take 12 men, one from each tribe
B... Take 12 stones from the midst of the Jordan
C...... The place where the priests' feet stood firmly
B... Bring them over and lay them down
C...... In the place where you lodge tonight
A. Joshua called the 12 men, one from each tribe

1 Peter 3:15 tells us to be ready to offer a defense for the hope we have. Let’s face it, believers are terrible at defending the Bible against even unproven science. Believers have been trained that science and spiritual matters should never cross their boundaries and they need to defend the Bible and the Creator Himself. The sacred word of our Creator needs no defense. believers need to become better at insisting accusers bring legitimate facts to their accusations instead of responding to theories and speculation.
Spiritual warfare
In order to be effective on the battlefield a soldier must be both well trained and properly equipped. The warrior must have access, as well, to both a defensive stronghold and offensive weaponry. He or she must know the enemy and be alert for surprise attacks. So, it is in our spiritual battle with satan. Determined to destroy our faith by leading us into sin and discouragement, satan attacks with blatant temptation and deceptive lies. The Bible teaches that the best weapons for this warfare are the Word of YHVH and prayer. But what does the Bible say about spiritual warfare?
Ephesians 6:10-18: Put on all of YHVH’s armour so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies and tricks of the devil. -- Spiritual warfare necessitates our being prepared fully, through prayer, faith, and truth, to defeat our spiritual enemy.
1 Peter 5:8-9: Be careful! Watch out for attacks from the devil, your great enemy. -- We must be alert at all times for the sneak attacks of the evil one.
James 4:7: Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. -- When we resist the devil in the name and power of Yeshua, he must flee from us.
Matthew 4:1-11: Yeshua told him, “No! The Scriptures say…” When under attack by satan, Yeshua relied on the Word of YHVH to resist the lies of his adversary
This came to mind while spending time with Father this morning:
It Is Time!
I hear the thundering hoofs
Of galloping horses
With millions of riders
Legions of angelic forces
With blaring shofar sounds
Declaring the coming of our King
With one A Capella voice
A call to battle they sing
Every knee shall bow and every eye shall see
Many shall hide -- more shall flee
Many will rejoice -- more shall fear
To no avail -- for the rapture is here
It is time to repent and confess
To turn away from sin and make it less
Ask for forgiveness before it is to late
Turn to Yah or hell will be your fate
The choice is only yours
Without being under force
Choose the world or choose the Most High
But choose wisely for the end is nigh
Time has come and is already here
That the anti-christ will enslave you through fear
Put on YHVH’s Armour and let us pray
Your life depends on it, night and day.
