 There is yet another thing. If Joshua leads his warriors in the plain, Moses—with Aaron and Hur—go up to the top of the hill; and the fight below depends upon the uplifting of the hands of Moses above. Moses, as thus seen, is a figure of Christ above in the value of His intercession. While He leads His people in the power of the Spirit below, He maintains their cause by His intercession in the presence of God; and secures for them mercy and grace for seasonable succor. (Rephidim and Amalek: Exodus 17 by E. Dennett)
 (Rom. 8:34-36). The Lord Himself taught His disciples the connection between His work above, and the Spirit’s action in them below, when He said, “If I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you” (John 16:7). Hence, too, He terms the Holy Spirit “another Comforter” (John 14:16); and the Apostle John applies to our blessed Lord the same title (that is, Advocate, but really the same word Paraclete; 1 John 2:1). (Rephidim and Amalek: Exodus 17 by E. Dennett)
