21.1  Arad Destroyed

21.4  The Bronze Snake

21.9    Certainly taken as a symbol of the Cross by Jesus in John 3.14.  In a lesser way, symbolic of vaccination: the dead version cures you from the live one.

21.10         The Journey to Moab

21.21         Defeat of Sihon and Og

21.35  This is a long list of defeated kings: Edom, Arad, Sihon, and Og.  The claim is that Israel asked nicely to pass, but then the kings attacked Israel, who acted purely in defence.  See Psalm 60.6-8.

Psalms

Psalm 60

60.8    Verses 6-8 are often quoted: an image of the nations as God’s private possessions.

Psalm 61

Isaiah

10.5  God’s Judgment on Assyria

10.12  This is a paradox concerning the nations God uses for judgement: they serve him unknowingly to punish his people Israel, and then they themselves are judged by God for what they have done.  They are merely tools (v15).

10.20         The Remnant of Israel

10.21  This was the name Isaiah gave to his second child.  His son is named in 8.3.

James

4.1    Submit Yourselves to God

4.13  Boasting About Tomorrow
