The Jordan signifies the power of
death. Crossing the Jordan is
overcoming death. This is to be
raptured.
This is especially related to the Lord.
The Lord was baptized in the river
Jordan. The Lord's baptism signifies
death, and coming out of the water
signifies resurrection. By the power of
resurrection, the Lord overcomes
death. The greatest power of Satan is
death. The Lord seems to have said to
the enemy, "Try your best to do what
you can to Me." Satan exhausted what
he could do; but God resurrected
Him. Satan wanted the Lord to die,
but the Lord has a life which death
cannot touch or hold down. The Lord
passed through it on dry land!
There is no power other than the
Lord's resurrection which can
overcome death. We obtained this
resurrection life at regeneration. The
power of the resurrection life will
wash away all death and everything
that is of death.
There is a difference between crossing
the Red Sea and crossing the river
Jordan. The crossing of the Red Sea
was forced upon the Israelites at that
time. They had no alternative but to
cross over because there were
enemies pursuing. But crossing the
river Jordan comes out of man's
willingness and is man's own choice.
There are some who will not cross the
river Jordan. Many do not want the
power of resurrection. Paul regarded
the power of resurrection as
important, and he pursued it (Phil.
3:10-12). Many people have already
resurrected with the Lord, yet they still
do not know the power of the Lord's
resurrection. Therefore, they do not
have the experience of overcoming
death.
At this hour when the rapture is
imminent, the last enemy that
believers should overcome is death.
Whether it is the death of the body,
the death of the mind, or the death of
the spiritual life, everything should be
overcome. The present world is truly
filled with the atmosphere of death.
On the one hand, many who are used
by the Lord often experience
weakness and sickness in the body.
On the other hand, the mental ability
of many seems to have grown so
numb that their thoughts, memory,
and concentration are not as focused
as before. Moreover, many seem to
have their spirit surrounded by death.
They are not lively but, rather, are
powerless and impotent. They seem
to be paralyzed and unable to control
or deal with the demand of the
circumstances upon their spirit. While
preparing to be raptured, the
believers must learn how to cross the
Jordan and overcome death. They
must learn to resist the power of
death that exists in them and in their
environment and must manifest the
power of resurrection in all things. We
should prove more and more that
our Lord is resurrected. At the same
time, we should demonstrate that we
are joined to Him and have also been
resurrected.

If we want to receive the rapture of
Elijah and the outer garment of Elisha
(the Holy Spirit), we must start from
Gilgal and continue until we cross the
river Jordan. The Holy Spirit can only
descend upon those who are full of
the resurrection life. We must not
think that since we are born again, we
will surely be raptured. God cannot
rapture those who are not prepared.
We must pass through Gilgal, Bethel,
Jericho, and the river Jordan. We must
pass through all these places before
we can be raptured, just as Elijah did
in that day. God has told us that we
will be raptured. Now we need to
follow our course. We should start
from Gilgal and go on until we cross
the Jordan. God is waiting for us
there!
