BOUNDARIES OF THE LAND OF INHERITANCE After recording the land that had been taken by the people under the leadership of Moses, before crossing the Jordan, and the land of Canaan, under the leadership of Joshua after the crossing, the Holy Book finally gave a record of the boundaries of the land east and west of the Jordan: 1- Boundaries of the land east of the Jordan 1 -- 6 2- Boundaries of the land west of the Jordan 7 -- 24 1- Boundaries of the land east of the Jordan: In our interpretation of the Book of Numbers (Chapter 32), we saw, how the request of the two and a half tribes from Moses, to grant them the land of Gilead east of the Jordan, was not haphazard; but it revealed the portion got by the Church of the Old Testament, that did not enjoy the Jordan of Christ; yet, through the symbols and prophesies, got a portion together with the Church of the New Testament (west of the Jordan) in the eternal inheritance1. The River Jordan is the line of distinction, discerning the two; or in better words, the two categories of members belonging to one Church, that extends since Adam to the end of ages. The divine inspiration intended to bind together, the talk of the inheritance east and west of the Jordan, to proclaim the unity of the Church; even though her early members enjoyed their inheritance through Moses (the law), who led them to the hope for the coming of the true Joshua; and the other members enjoyed theirs through Joshua Himself. 2- Boundaries of the land west of the Jordan: The Holy Book mentioned the region that was taken by the nine and a half tribes west of the Jordan; with the names of the cities, together with the names of their old kings, defeated by Joshua the son of Nun. It is as though the inspiration confirms that, God the Father has several dwelling places, so that each of us will get his own holy place of rest, . 1 للمؤلف: سفر العدد 1981 ، أصحاح 32 167 and his own inheritance in Jesus Christ. The wicked kings (the devils) have been driven out, so that we inherit forever! Each of those cities has its symbolic meaning, referring to a certain sin or to a certain devil; we are committed to crush, to keep him from inheriting anything in us, but to get back the inheritance that is ours in our Lord Jesus Christ.
