The Jordan River served as a natural boundary between the wilderness where they wandered for 40 years and the land of Canaan. Crossing the Jordan symbolizes a transition from a period of wandering and testing to one of fulfillment and promise. This event is also a type of baptism, representing a passage from old life to new life, paralleling the Christian experience of entering into the promises of God through faith.<p><b>and live in the land that the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance</b><br>The land of Canaan is described as an inheritance, emphasizing that it is a gift from God, not something earned by the Israelites. This concept of inheritance is central to the covenant relationship between God and His people, reflecting the Abrahamic promise (<a href="/genesis/12-7.htm">Genesis 12:7</a>). The land is a tangible sign of God's faithfulness and a foretaste of the ultimate inheritance believers receive in Christ, as mentioned in <a href="/ephesians/1-11.htm">Ephesians 1:11</a>.<p><b>and He gives you rest from all the enemies around you</b><br>Rest in this context refers to peace and security from surrounding hostile nations. This rest is both a physical and spiritual blessing, signifying God's protection and provision. It foreshadows the ultimate rest found in Jesus Christ, as described in <a href="/hebrews/4-9.htm">Hebrews 4:9-10</a>, where believers are invited to enter God's rest through faith. The rest from enemies also highlights God's sovereignty and His role as a divine warrior who fights on behalf of His people.<p><b>and you dwell securely</b><br>Dwelling securely indicates a state of stability and safety under God's care. This security is contingent upon Israel's obedience to God's commandments, as outlined in the surrounding chapters of Deuteronomy. It reflects the covenantal promise of blessing for obedience and serves as a reminder of the peace and assurance found in a right relationship with God. This security is a precursor to the eternal security promised to believers in the New Testament, as seen in <a href="/john/10-28.htm">John 10:28-29</a>, where Jesus assures His followers of their eternal safety in Him.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_israelites.htm">The Israelites</a></b><br>The chosen people of God, who are being led into the Promised Land.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_jordan_river.htm">The Jordan River</a></b><br>A significant geographical boundary that the Israelites must cross to enter the Promised Land.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_promised_land.htm">The Promised Land</a></b><br>The land of Canaan, which God promised to Abraham and his descendants as an inheritance.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD (Yahweh)</a></b><br>The covenant-keeping God of Israel, who is faithful to His promises.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/e/enemies.htm">Enemies</a></b><br>The surrounding nations that posed a threat to Israel's peace and security.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_faithfulness.htm">God's Faithfulness</a></b><br>God is faithful to His promises.
