1 | Is Caleb a "type" of Holy Spirit? | Num 14:24 | Ray | 74183 | ||
Hi PJC, Welcome to the forum. We encourage everyone to tell us about themselves so do that when you get the chance. I perceive that you may have done some deep thinking about your question. I think that your suggestion has some merit. I don't think that Caleb is a type of the Holy Spirit, but I would like to hear what you think. I do however think that he may be a "type" of one who is to be filled with the holy spirit. Numbers 14:22, "Surely all the men who have seen My glory and My signs, which I performed in Egypt and in the wilderness, yet have put Me/ to the test these ten times and have not listened to My voice, 23 shall by no means see the land which I swore to their fathers, nor shall any of those who spurned (Me) see it. 24 But My servant Caleb, because he has had a *different spirit and has followed Me fully, *him I will bring into the land which he entered, and his descendents shall take possession of it." Joel 2:27,NKJ, "Then you shall know that I am in the midst of Israel: I am the Lord your God/ and there is no other. My people shall never be put to shame. And it shall come to pass afterward That I will pour out (My) Spirit [I would say spirit] on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your old men shall see visions. And also on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit [spirit] in those days." The parentheses, slashes, and brackets are mine for comparisons. When we get to know each other better, perhaps I can go into more foolishness like that further. We might look more at 2 Corinthians 11:4 where it talks (I think in contrast) of a "different spirit".

2 | Is Caleb a "type" of Holy Spirit? | Num 14:24 | rdc/dsb | 74740 | ||
This verse can be referenced to Joshua 14: 6-10 and 15: 13:19. I wonder if you could elaborate on the Contrast of a "different spirit" that 2 Corinthians 11: 4 speaks of [Ray]!! | ||||||
3 | Is Caleb a "type" of Holy Spirit? | Num 14:24 | Ray | 74837 | ||
Hi rdc/dsb, Thank you for your interest. What I say in elaborating on "a different spirit" would be from a personal study involving choices of pronouns of Deity and the capitalization of these pronouns. You would have to understand where I am coming from, plus you would have to understand that this is a study in progress and open to change. Right now, I see Caleb as having a different "spirit" [lower case]. I don't fully know what that spirit or even holy spirit entails. But I know that it is not the Spirit of God or Holy Spirit or Spirit of Jesus that is spoken of in Numbers 14:24. There are many places where the spirit [sic] is spoken of, as relating to a spirit of wisdom and knowledge for instance. This spirit is given, poured out, and fills us to my mind and way of thinking. 1) The idea of "contrast" between Numbers and 2 Corinthians is not so much a difference in content, words, or ideas, or in describing different spirits. Rather, I see both the "different spirit" and the Holy Spirit in the three pronouns of Numbers 14:24. That is just the way I see it right now. For 2 Corinthians 11:2, I see three pronouns in verses 2-4 that to my mind speak of the Man Jesus Christ. Thus I see a contrast between the Spirit and the Man in these two passages. The occurances of "a different spirit" in both of these passages is noteworthy to my particular study as regarding my counting of pronouns. 2) Thank you for pointing out the Joshua references. I am afraid that I have to do more work in studying Joshua; but I look forward to comparing Joshua 15:19 with verses like that difficult one of John 7:38. Are Caleb's "springs of water" related to the "rivers of living water" of John 7:38? Should the Spirits of verse 39 be lower case? Like I say there is much to study and consider. But I would also say that we should remain open to new ideas and revelations. I ask this just as Paul did in 2 Corinthians 11:4 where he seems to bemoan the fact that the Corinthians listen splendidly to some "super-apostles"; if they give them such an excellent hearing will they not listen to him? So I ask you just as 2 Corinthians 12:18 says, "Do we not conduct ourselves in the same spirit and walk in the same steps?" From the heart, Ray |
