10在约书亚五章十一至十二节，我们看到一个提示，美地接续吗哪作基督的预表。十一节说到以色列的百姓吃美地的出产。十二节说得特别清楚：“他们吃了那地的出产，当日吗哪就止住了，以色列人也不再有吗哪了；那一年，他们却吃迦南地的出产。”吗哪预表基督是神百姓生命的供应。正如约书亚记中这二节所指明，美地的出产乃是吗哪的延续。因此，吗哪若是预表基督，美地的出产必定也是预表祂。借着旷野中吗哪的供应，神的百姓就能建立会幕作神的居所。同样的原则，因着那地丰富出产的供应，他们就能建造圣殿作神更稳固的居所。毫无疑问，以色列子民所享受的美地，乃是基督一个重大的预表，因为乃是借着享受美地，圣殿才得以建立。
10In Joshua 5:11 and 12 we see a hint that the good land typifies Christ as the continuation of the manna. Verse 11 says that the children of Israel ate of the produce of the land. Verse 12 is especially clear: “And the manna ceased on that day, when they ate of the produce of the land; and there was no longer manna for the children of Israel, but they ate of the yield of the land of Canaan that year.” Manna was a type of Christ as the life supply for God’s people. As these verses in Joshua point out, the produce of the good land was the continuation of the manna. Therefore, if the manna typifies Christ, the produce of the good land must also typify Him. By means of the supply of manna in the wilderness, God’s people were able to build the tabernacle as God’s dwelling place. In the same principle, through the supply of the rich produce of the land, they were able to build the temple as a more solid dwelling place for God. No doubt, the good land enjoyed by the children of Israel is a significant type of Christ, for through the enjoyment of it, the temple was built.
