Study Notes

corn
The manna is a type of Christ in humiliation, known "after the flesh," giving his flesh that the believer might have life John 6:49-51 while the "old corn of the land" is Christ apprehended as risen, glorified, and seated in the heavenlies. Occupation with Christ on earth, "crucified through weakness," tends to a wilderness experience. An experience befitting the believer's place in the heavenlies demands an apprehension of the power of His resurrection; 2 Corinthians 5:16 ; 2 Corinthians 13:4 ; Philippians 3:10 ; Ephesians 1:15-23 . It is the contrast between "milk" and "meat" in Paul's writings.; 1 Corinthians 3:1 ; 1 Corinthians 3:2 ; Hebrews 5:12-14 ; Hebrews 6:1-3 .

Context Summary

Joshua 5:1-12 - Renewing The Covenant With God

Evidently the people of Canaan realized that they were entering into conflict with God Almighty. This made their bitter resistance less excusable. But before Israel could go forward into the campaign, they must undergo that initial rite which from the days of Abraham had separated them unto God, Genesis 17:1-27. The outbreak at Kadesh had practically annulled that relationship, which now must be renewed, Numbers 14:1-45.

Before we can serve God's high purposes in the world, we must be separated from sin. The old nature must be denied and put away, and the new nature, which is holy, harmless and separate from sin, must become ours. Nothing but death can meet the case, Colossians 2:11; 2 Corinthians 7:1.

The circumcised soul alone may eat of the Passover, which is Christ. We need to feed on Him, keeping the daily feast with joy, 1 Corinthians 5:7-8; John 6:51; John 6:54. [source]
