The cities of refuge are a type of Christ, and their names are significant in that connection
The cities of refuge and the meaning of the names are as follows:
West of Jordan
Kedesh—Holiness
Shechem—Strength
Kirjath-Arba or Hebron—Fellowship
East of Jordan
Ramoth-Gilead—Uplifting
Golan—Happiness
Bezer—Safety
Thus Christ provides every blessing suggested by the names of these cities.
As the cities of refuge were so situated as to be accessible from every part of the land, so Christ is very accessible to needy sinners (1 John 2:1, 2).
