SIX CITIES OF REFUGE Numbers 35:6-33 Hebrews 6:18

KE’DESH “a sanctum” Or “HOLY” “Spiritual house, a holy priesthood” 1 Peter 2:5-9 “holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling” Hebrews 3:1” “set apart” EKKLESIA – “called out” 2 Corinthians 6:17

SHE’CHEM “the neck between the shoulders, as the place of burden” Figurative to describe “a ridge” Church is “the pillar and ground of the truth” 1 Timothy 3:15 1 Corinthians 1:18

HEB’RON Same Actions, Jointly “seat of association, alliance, league, confederacy” Convey “fellowship” or “partnership” Same Actions, Jointly Philippians 1:3-5 “fellowship in the gospel” Acts 2:42 “continued steadfastly” Common use of the word

HEB’RON Concurrent Action 2 Corinthians 8:1-4 Doing the Same Thing, but Not in the Same Place or at the Exact Same Time Often overlook the fact that fellowship does not have to be everybody doing the same thing, at the same place and time

HEB’RON Part Which One Has In A Common Activity 1 Corinthians 10:18 “Fellowship with the altar” What part did the Altar have? It provided the PLACE for the sacrifice, and THEY partook of it

RE’MOTH “heights or elevation” Matthew 5:14 “a city set on a hill” Hebrews 12:22,23 “you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem” Not HIGH in location – but HIGH in importance to out Salvation

GO’LAN “circle” Completeness which we find only in Christ Colossians 2:10 “complete in Him” Ephesians 1:3 “every spiritual blessing” Ephesians 1:22,23 – In His body which is the church
