Yitzchak ShifmanHOST
How did it go? So remember, the Jews were all standing on the east side of the Arden.
Yitzchak ShifmanHOST
That means in Transjordan, on the east.
Yitzchak ShifmanHOST
Yeshua told the Kohanim, who were holding the Aaron Kodesh, to step into the water of the Jordan, the Jordan River.
Yitzchak ShifmanHOST
They're going towards Eretz Yisrael.
Yitzchak ShifmanHOST
They remained in the Yarden with their feet in there, holding the Aron until everybody crossed over.
Yitzchak ShifmanHOST
So now you're left with all of the Jews in Eretz Yisrael proper, mainland Eretz Yisrael.
Yitzchak ShifmanHOST
The Kohanim are still standing in the Yarden on the east side of the Yarden, on Transjordan side, just one foot into the river.
Yitzchak ShifmanHOST
That's what we said.
AlonPANELIST
Because he's
Jonathan LiviHOST
getting the first piece of land on the Transjordan.
Jonathan LiviHOST
And because these barachot are with an eye towards the land of Israel, we're going to see a lot of the ordering is going to be in order of the possession of the land.
Jonathan LiviHOST
Obviously Reuven goes first.
Yitzchak ShifmanHOST
No, not Yericho first, it's crossing over the Yarden.
Yitzchak ShifmanHOST
So remember, the Jewish people are in a place called Shittim, which is on Transjordan, east of the Yarden.
Yitzchak ShifmanHOST
And now they're going to cross over into Eretz Yisrael proper.
Yitzchak ShifmanHOST
And this day that they're going to cross over There's a number of unique things that will happen, a number of miracles associated, which we'll get through.
7 MINS LATER
Yitzchak ShifmanHOST
Right, that's what the Tzira Tzion says.
Yitzchak ShifmanHOST
So they should know, they're going to know, just as I was with Moshe, I will be with you.
Yitzchak ShifmanHOST
more command the Kohanim who are holding the Aaron saying when you come to the edge of the Yarden you'll stand in the Yarden so let's remember let's just use our imagination for a second let's say this is Transjordan this is the east of the Yarden and this is Eretz Yisrael proper and here's the Yarden we're going to see what happened was the Kohanim stepped into the Yarden And immediately the waters of the Yarden, which are flowing downstream, started to pile up, causing the area on the downstream to become empty.
Yitzchak ShifmanHOST
Like in Egypt? It's interesting, it's not like Yom Suf.
Shaka HinesHOST
The verse continues, and he, Joshua, he gave it as an inheritance to Israel according to their tribal divisions.
Shaka HinesHOST
Finally, Israel begins to take possession of their Transjordan inheritance.
Shaka HinesHOST
Imagine the faithfulness of God and the tenacity of Joshua to realize the promise given to Abraham probably over 500 years earlier.
Shaka HinesHOST
There were so many stages in the formation of God's people, from Abraham to Isaac to Jacob to Jacob's sons to Egypt and now to the promised land.
Shmuel SilberHOST
They had a lot of pasture.
Shmuel SilberHOST
That's why they wanted to settle on the Transjordanian lands.
Shmuel SilberHOST
So that's just two tribes that have a lot of animals, have a lot of livestock.
Shmuel SilberHOST
Certainly, again, you put the rest of the tribes in there, there's got to be a surplus.
Yitzchak ShifmanHOST
He said, which we'll get to in the next few chapters.
Yitzchak ShifmanHOST
This point, which is also a very important point to remember, is that if everybody remembers, we spoke about this extensively, two and a half tribes decided that their inheritance was going to be in Transjordan, which is east of the Ardennes.
Yitzchak ShifmanHOST
Who were those two and a half tribes? Reuven and Gad, and half of the tribe of Menashe.
Yitzchak ShifmanHOST
Remember that.
Yitzchak ShifmanHOST
Chas v'shalom, we could have a repeat of the story of the Meraglim.
Yitzchak ShifmanHOST
So they explained, no, no, no, we are the great warriors of the Jewish people and we are willing actually to cross in front of the Jewish people.
Yitzchak ShifmanHOST
We're going to see, begins with Yericho, we're going to see, it's very clear, they were not only not fighting with the Jewish people, they were at the front of the line in terms of the battles and only after 14 years when the land is conquered and settled, divided up, then we'll cross back over to Transjordan and take our territory where our wives and children had been waiting all along.
Yitzchak ShifmanHOST
So Moshe says, I agree with you.
Chuck MisslerHOST
Now those areas, if you look at a biblical map in the back of your Bible, you'll discover that area is known today as Jordan.
Chuck MisslerHOST
It was a creation of Winston Churchill during the Second World War called Transjordan and thus laid the groundwork for the country that today is known as Jordan.
Chuck MisslerHOST
Very unusual history.
Chuck MisslerHOST
Why would the Holy Spirit have that region escape the hand of the Antichrist? It's a speculation, but most scholars recognize all kinds of prophecies which indicate that the remnant of Israel, when they flee the attack on Jerusalem at the very, very end, the Battle of Armageddon and all of that, they flee to Basra.
Avraham FaustGUEST
Again, some territories could have been impacted without being conquered.
Avraham FaustGUEST
For example, Philistia wasn't conquered, but it was transformed at the time, partially because of the united monarchy, partially due to other reasons.
Avraham FaustGUEST
As to all the way from the coastal plain to the Transjordanian highlands, and you can see, for example, the abandonment of many sites in the Transjordanian highlands in the first half or middle of the 10th century.
Avraham FaustGUEST
Again, probably as a result of the expansion or aggression of this new polity.
Željko StanojevićHOST
How do you distinguish between the historical core and the later literal and theological shaping of the stories about Saul, David, and Solomon?
Avraham FaustGUEST
But I do think that the evidence and, and, uh, is quite clear.
Avraham FaustGUEST
There was some drastic transformations in the 10th century, and you can see those changes across the country, as I said.
Avraham FaustGUEST
From the upper Galilee to the Negev highlands and from the coastal plain to the Transjordanian highlands, you see the changes, and we outline.
Chuck MisslerHOST
Now those areas, if you look at a biblical map in the back of your Bible, you'll discover that area is known today as Jordan.

Lucas J. MatherHOST
When you see Jesus interacting in Samaria, for example, and there's an intermixture, ethnic intermixture that goes back centuries.
Lucas J. MatherHOST
OK, now the Transjordanian provinces have retained predominantly Gentile.
Lucas J. MatherHOST
remained predominantly Gentile ever since.
Lucas J. MatherHOST
The territory north of the plain of Jezreel remained predominantly Gentile until it was conquered and Judaized by a Hasmonean king at the end of the 2nd century BC.
