1 And Joshua rose early in the morning; and they removed from Shittim, and came to Jordan, he and all the children of Israel, and lodged there before they passed over. 2 And it came to pass after three days, that the officers went through the host; 3 And they commanded the people, saying, When ye see the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God, and the priests the Levites bearing it, then ye shall remove from your place, and go after it. 4 Yet there shall be a space between you and it, about two thousand cubits by measure: come not near unto it, that ye may know the way by which ye must go: for ye have not passed this way heretofore. You have not passed through this way before sounds like the rapture to me. Crossing the red sea is clearly a type of the Lord’s death and resurrection and our baptism. We are told this in the New testament. So then the people of the Lord crossing the Jordan would be like that and yet something that Israel had not done before. Jesus' resurrection was the firstfruit of the harvest, at the end of the age the harvest of the saints will also be a resurrection. According to Jewish tradition they entered a new dimension of personal responsibility. When you are a slave you are told “not to worry” about certain things and you will be punished if you actually question or second guess the master. We see this change today in the US, people are not willing to blindly follow what the mainstream media declares and the more they declare it the less people listen to them. Also, they are not afraid to question it

5 And Joshua said unto the people, Sanctify yourselves: for to morrow the Lord will do wonders among you. 6 And Joshua spake unto the priests, saying, Take up the ark of the covenant, and pass over before the people. And they took up the ark of the covenant, and went before the people. 7 And the Lord said unto Joshua, This day will I begin to magnify thee in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that, as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee.
For 2,000 years the Christians have not been led by the ark of covenant to get involved in the political arena. Individuals like Esther and Mordecai have, and like Paul we have appealed to Caesar based on the laws of the land. But our covenant until this point has not been of this world and we have not been called to fight on behalf of it. Instead the church has acted as an embassy of the kingdom of heavens in the worldly realm.
8 And thou shalt command the priests that bear the ark of the covenant, saying, When ye are come to the brink of the water of Jordan, ye shall stand still in Jordan. 9 And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, Come hither, and hear the words of the Lord your God. 10 And Joshua said, Hereby ye shall know that the living God is among you, and that he will without fail drive out from before you the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Hivites, and the Perizzites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Jebusites. 11 Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth passeth over before you into Jordan. 12 Now therefore take you twelve men out of the tribes of Israel, out of every tribe a man. 13 And it shall come to pass, as soon as the soles of the feet of the priests that bear the ark of the Lord, the Lord of all the earth, shall rest in the waters of Jordan, that the waters of Jordan shall be cut off from the waters that come down from above; and they shall stand upon an heap. 14 And it came to pass, when the people removed from their tents, to pass over Jordan, and the priests bearing the ark of the covenant before the people; 15 And as they that bare the ark were come unto Jordan, and the feet of the priests that bare the ark were dipped in the brim of the water, (for Jordan overfloweth all his banks all the time of harvest,) 16 That the waters which came down from above stood and rose up upon an heap very far from the city Adam, that is beside Zaretan: and those that came down toward the sea of the plain, even the salt sea, failed, and were cut off: and the people passed over right against Jericho. 17 And the priests that bare the ark of the covenant of the Lord stood firm on dry ground in the midst of Jordan, and all the Israelites passed over on dry ground, until all the people were passed clean over Jordan.
Right now we are presenting compelling evidence, overwhelming evidence, undeniable evidence and they simply ignore it. Governors and officials are certifying votes despite extensive evidence of election fraud. They are treating the people like they can ignore them. This is a violation of the constitution, a violation of their authority given by God, and so you will now see something never before seen. The Lord Himself, from the heavens will send His army in to dispossess these people. The first barrier they cross is the river Jordan, it separates God’s people from these tribes. In the US there is a line of separation between the church and the state. Our covenant with the Lord has led us to stay in the wilderness for this age of grace. But now, at the end of the age, the priests bearing the ark of the covenant are led to step into this river separating us from the State.
