DEUTERONOMY
In Deuteronomy He is “the City of our Refuge.”
The three cities of refuge collectively points to
Christ as our ‘City of Refuge.’
When the Lord your God has destroyed the nations whose land He
is giving you, and when you have driven them out and settled in their towns and
houses, then set aside for yourselves three cities centrally located in the
land the Lord your God is giving you to possess. Build roads to them and divide
into three parts the land the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance, so
that anyone who kills a man may flee there.
Deut 19:1-3 NIV
He is a Refuge for the oppressed.
The Lord is a Refuge for the oppressed,
a Stronghold in times of trouble.
Ps 9:9 NIV
