The Red Sea, and Jordan, both withdrew for Israel. Reader, recollect (for there is a great beauty in the reflection) that forty years intervened between the period of the Red Sea retiring, and that of the river Jordan stopping in its course; but as both were thus miraculously wrought upon by the power and presence of the same God, who was Judah's sanctuary, and Israel's dominion, the wonderful events are both recorded in the same song. Exodus 14:21-22; Joshua 3:13-17. And in both events what a beautiful type do we see of the passage of the church, through that new and living way, which the Lord hath opened for his people, through the veil of Christ's flesh? Hebrews 10:19-21.
