Daily Lesson for Tuesday 2nd of December 2025

As we discovered in the first week, Joshua was presented as a new Moses who, in the life of the second generation, repeated the most significant steps of the Exodus from Egypt. Just as Moses was, Joshua was commissioned by a personal encounter with the Lord. Under the leadership of both Moses and Joshua, Israel’s fame among the nations inspired fear.

Moses led Israel in crossing the Red Sea, and Joshua led Israel in a miraculous crossing of the Jordan. Both leaders were reminded of the necessity of circumcision and the importance of the Passover. Manna began to fall in the time of Moses, and it ended with Joshua. Both were commanded to take off their sandals. The outstretched hand of both signaled victory for Israel. Moses gave instructions for the division of the land and the institution of cities of refuge. Joshua fulfilled the instructions. Both gave a farewell address to the nation and renewed the covenant for the people at the end of their ministry.

Joshua’s life was a partial fulfillment of the prophecy made by Moses (Deuteronomy 18:15,18). However, the prophecy made by Moses was not fulfilled in its ultimate sense. In its ultimate sense, the prophecy could be accomplished (or fulfilled) only by the Messiah. The Messiah knew the Father intimately (John 1:14,18); He was true and revealed God truthfully (Luke 10:22, John 14:6, Matthew 22:16). God indeed put His words in His mouth (John 14:24). So, both the life of Moses and that of Joshua become types of the coming Messiah, Jesus.

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.”

Daily Lesson for Sunday 30th of November 2025

These biblical passages use the term “type” (Greek typos) or “antitype” (Greek antitypos) to refer to the way the New Testament writer defined the relationship between an Old Testament text or event and its meaning in his own time or in the future.

Typology is a specific interpretation of persons, events, or institutions that prefigure Jesus or other realities contained in the gospel. The type corresponds to the antitype as a mold or a hollow form that reflects the original form, even if the latter, the antitype, more fully fulfills the purpose of the type. Thus, the biblical type was shaped according to a divine design that had existed concretely, or conceptually, in the mind of God, and it serves to shape future copies (antitypes).

It is crucial to understand that the writers of the New Testament did not randomly attribute a typological meaning to some Old Testament texts in order to make a point. An Old Testament type is always validated in the prophetic writings before it acquires an antitypical fulfillment in the New Testament.

a. David (Psalms 22:1,14-18):

b. The new David (Jeremiah 23:5; Isaiah 9:5-6; Isaiah 11:1-5):

c. The antitypical David (John 19:24):

Look at how David appears in the Old Testament and then how he is prefigured in the New. What lessons can we learn about how typology works from this example?

By looking at these texts, we discover that the Old Testament itself provides the key for identifying and applying types in the Scriptures. That is, New Testament writers, whose Scripture was the Old Testament, were inspired by the Holy Spirit to use the Old Testament types to reveal “present truth” (2 Peter 1:12), especially about Jesus and His ministry.
