I`m heading off for a couple of days so I will ask the next question.

What name did Rachael call her last child, and what name did Jacob call him?

Also, how does that relate to the Lord?

Rachel named her son Ben-Oni which means “son of my sorrow.”

Jesus Christ came as a suffering Messiah.

Jacob named his son Ben-Jamin which means “son of my right hand.”

Jesus Christ rose from the dead to sit at God’s Right Hand.

¶ Then they departed from Bethel, and when there was about half a day’s journey of ground to come to Ephrath, Rachel travailed, and in travailing she was in peril.

And when she was in the pains of her labor, the midwife said unto her, Fear not, for thou shalt have this son also.

Then as she was about to yield up the ghost (for she died) she called his name Ben-Oni, but his father called him Benjamin.

Thus died Rachel and was buried in the way to Ephrath, which is Bethlehem. And Jacob set a pillar upon her grave: This is the pillar of Rachel’s grave unto this day. ¶

Then Israel went forward, and pitched his tent beyond Migdal Eder.

Well done, Lafftur,

All right. Great to see more of the Lord`s names and purposes being unfolded.

Your turn to pose a question.

What is the (latter) Biblical parallel to Joshua 2:1?
Well, let’s ponder this…

Now Joshua the son of Nun sent out two men from Acacia Grove to spy secretly, saying, “Go, view the land, especially Jericho.”So they went, and came to the house of a harlot named Rahab, and lodged there.
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Josh.2.1&version=NKJV

Jesus Christ is a type of Joshua spying out the land…. and perhaps Mary Magdalene is a type of Rahab…. I don’t know, lol! I’m trying to make a parallel….lol!


Or, is this a trick question and the answer is there is NUN! lol!

On the contrary......there are innumerable such parallels. All intentional.
I believe there are types and symbols to do with the Lord but not other things. So, can you explain, show what you believe, please?

Jos 2:1
And Joshua the son of Nun sent out of Shittim two men to spy secretly, saying, Go view the land, even Jericho. And they went, and came into an harlot's house, named Rahab, and lodged there.

Joshua = Jesus
two spies witnesses sent to see the wickedness of the land = two witnesses of Revelation
Conquest of wicked Jericho ripe for judgement = conquest of the wicked world ripe for judgement

The entire account of Joshua PARALLELS the end-time DOTL scenario with Jesus as conqueror.

There are MANY poignant parallels to be made. They are intentional and are "divine watermarks".....proof that the Scripture is authentic.

Thank you cv5,

I can accept that Joshua as commander of the Israelis army is a type of the Lord as commander of His angelic army. However, the 2 witnesses do not go in secretly in Rev. 11: 3. They are to witness of the Lord as Israel`s Messiah and coming soon to set up His kingdom.

So, anything else to show what you mean, thank you.
