December 6, 2025

1. Have a volunteer read Psalm 5:14, I Corinthians 10:1-13, Hebrews 8:5, 9:23.

1. Ask class members to share a short thought on what the most important point is in this passage.
2. What is Biblical typology indicated by these verses?
3. Personal Application: How is our spiritual warfare like the conquest of Canaan, and how is it different? Share your thoughts.
4. Case Study: One of your relatives states, “How can we relate to types in the life of Christ, the church’s experience, and the end of time? What truths can we glean from the experiences of the types we find in the Bible? How do we know when we are looking at a type and that there is an antitype?” How would you respond to your relative?

2. Have a volunteer read Exodus 3:1,2, John 1:1-3, Joshua 2:1, Exodus 3:5, Joshua 3:5.

1. Ask class members to share a thought on what the most important point in this text is.
2. What is the significance of the multitude of parallels between the lives of Moses and Joshua?
3. Personal Application: Why must Jesus and what He has done for you be the foundation of your whole Christian experience? Share your thoughts.
4. Case Study: One of your friends states, “How can we deal with the uncertainties of human existence and interactions? Can we trust in the consistency and control of our history today? Is this true only for nations and leaders, or do our insignificant individual lives get affected as well?” How would you respond to your friend?

3. Have a volunteer read Hebrews 3:7 – 4:11.

1. Ask class members to share a short thought on what the most important point in this text is.
2. How does the New Testament confirm that Joshua, the new Moses, is himself a type of Christ?
3. Personal Application: What are some practical ways that you can allow Jesus to reflect His character in you more completely? Share your thoughts.
4. Case Study: One of your neighbors states: “What does it mean to rest in what Christ has done for us? How can we have assurance that Jesus has defeated Satan on our behalf? ” How would you respond to your neighbor?

4. Have a volunteer read I Timothy 1:18, 2 Timothy 4:7, Ephesians 6:10-12, 2 Cor 10:3-5, Acts 22:32.

1. Ask class members to share a thought on what the most important point in this text is.
2. In what sense do the wars Israel fought foreshadow the spiritual struggle of the church?
3. Personal Application: Joshua said, How long will you neglect to go and possess the land? How would Joshua phrase that question to us today? Share your thoughts.
4. Case Study: Think of one person who needs to hear a message from this week’s lesson. Tell the class what you plan to do this week to share with them.

Daily Lesson for Monday 1st of December 2025

Interpreters of the Bible cannot arbitrarily decide on what constitutes a biblical type or how that particular type is fulfilled in the New Testament and beyond. The Bible itself provides some controls and principles as to the application of biblical typology.

Similarly, the New Testament unfolds the antitypical fulfillment of a type in three distinct phases: (1) in the life of Christ (the Christological fulfillment), (2) in the experience of the church (the ecclesiological fulfillment), and (3) at the end of time (the eschatological fulfillment).

We can find these types and antitypes all through the Bible, and they are very helpful in showing readers how to understand the Bible and what truths the Word of God is teaching about Jesus, salvation, and the ultimate hope that we have.

1. Israel

a. Christological phase (Matthew 2:15)

b. Ecclesiological phase (Galatians 6:16)

c. Eschatological phase (Revelation 7:4-8,14)

2. The Exodus

a. Christological phase (Matthew 2:19-21)

b. Ecclesiological phase (2 Corinthians 6:17)

c. Eschatological phase (Revelation 18:4)

3. The Sanctuary

a. Christological phase (John 1:14, John 2:21, Matthew 26:61)

b. Ecclesiological phase (1 Corinthians 3:16-17; 2 Corinthians 6:16)

c. Eschatological phase (Revelation 3:12, Revelation 11:19, Revelation 21:3, Revelation 21:22)

“Since Scripture has a single divine Author, the various parts of Scripture are consistent with each other. . . . All the doctrines of the Bible will cohere with each other; interpretations of individual passages will harmonize with the totality of what Scripture teaches on a given subject.”—Raoul Dederen, ed., Handbook of Seventh-day Adventist Theology (Hagerstown, MD: Review and Herald Publishing Association, 2000), p. 65.

As we work our way through the book of Joshua this quarter, we will see that he is ready to 
Fight The Good Fight – Hymn 613 and to move forward into the Promised Land. We may still use last quarter’s theme hymn as this will pop up throughout this quarter as well: 
Hymn 620 – On Jordan’s Stormy Banks I Stand. These two hymns will resound throughout the quarter.

Our studies this week keep pointing us to God’s Word to help us understand all the meanings from the Old Testament and then in the New Testament: 
Hymn 272 – Give Me The Bible, 
Hymn 277 – For Your Holy Book We Thank You and to help us learn even more 
Hymn 275 – O God Of Light.

With this wonderful study, we are shown that 
The Church Has One Foundation – Hymn 348 and that 
Jesus Is Coming Again – Hymn 213. The final knowledge on Thursday tells us we need to say 
I Would Be Like Jesus – Hymn 311.

Our dear Sister White tells of the sincere need for “faithful Calebs and Joshuas” who went forth. With all these wonderful instructions are we now able to say 
“I’ll Go Where You Want Me to Go” – Hymn 572 dear Lord?

Please continue to search the scriptures this week to be blessed and to bless others.

To learn unknown hymns, you will find the accompaniment music for each one at: https://sdahymnals.com/Hymnal/

Another great resource is for when there is a hymn you wish to sing but can’t find it in your hymnal. Go to https://www.sdahymnal.org/Search and in the search bar type a special word in that is in the hymn. I am sure you will be amazed at the help you will be given.

2 Timothy 2:15 KJV – “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”
