Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth passeth over before you into Jordan.
The ark of the covenant was the sign of the Lord's presence going ahead of Israel into the Jordan. At that time the Jordan was overflowing its banks. The Lord of all the earth himself led the crossing, and the passage of the ark marked the way for the people to follow. This crossing prepared for God to drive out the Canaanites before them.
Christ, accompanied by heavenly angels, went before the ark, and the waters were cut off before him. Christ and the angels remained with the ark and the priests standing in the riverbed until all Israel had crossed over to the other side.
