Hebrews 4:14 14  Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.

PSALM 67: 1-7 Chiasm 4 – 1-2 – Jesus is the Great High Priest / (Isa 43:19-21; Jn 6:32-40; 1 Cor. 10:1-5) 3 – 4 – 5 – 6-7 – Dwelling secure in the Land / Abrahamic Covenant

Isaiah 43:19-21 19 Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. 20 The wild beasts will honor me, the jackals and the ostriches, for I give water in the wilderness, rivers in the desert, to give drink to my chosen people, 21 the people whom I formed for myself that they might declare my praise.

John 6: 30-35 So they said to him, “Then what sign do you do, that we may see and believe you? What work do you perform? 31 Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’ ” 32 Jesus then said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread from heaven. 33 For the bread of God is he who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.” 34 They said to him, “Sir, give us this bread always.” 35 Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.

1 Cor. 10:1-5 For I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea, 2 and all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea, 3 and all ate the same spiritual food, 4 and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank from the spiritual Rock that followed them, and the Rock was Christ. 5 Nevertheless, with most of them God was not pleased, for they were overthrown in the wilderness.

PSALM 67: 1-7 Chiasm 1-2 – Jesus is the Great High Priest / Leader of the 2nd Exodus 3 – 4 – 5 – 6-7 – Dwelling secure in the Land / Abrahamic Covenant

PSALM 67: 1-7 Chiasm 1-2 – Jesus is the Great High Priest / Leader of the 2nd Exodus 3 – 4 – 5 – 6-7 – (Josh 21:43-45; Hebrews 4:8-11) / Abrahamic Covenant

Joshua 21:43-45 43 Thus the Lord gave to Israel all the land that he swore to give to their fathers. And they took possession of it, and they settled there. 44 And the Lord gave them rest on every side just as he had sworn to their fathers. Not one of all their enemies had withstood them, for the Lord had given all their enemies into their hands. 45 Not one word of all the good promises that the Lord had made to the house of Israel had failed; all came to pass.

Hebrews 4:8-11 8 For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken of another day later on. 9 So then, there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God… 11 Let us therefore strive to enter that rest, so that no one may fall by the same sort of disobedience.

PSALM 67: 1-7 Chiasm 1-2 – Jesus is the Great High Priest / Leader of the 2nd Exodus 3 – 4 – 5 – 6-7 – In Christ, you dwell secure in the land / (Gen 18:19; Heb. 4:15; Matt. 26:39)

Gen. 18:19 9 For I have chosen him [Abraham], that he may command his children and his household after him to keep the way of the Lord by doing righteousness and justice, so that the Lord may bring to Abraham what he has promised him.”

Hebrews 4:15 15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin.

Matthew 26:39 39 And going a little farther he fell on his face and prayed, saying, “My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will.”
