The "Commander of the Lord's Army" shows up in this chapter with an important reframing of the narrative. Joshua has already been described as a warrior, and asks whether the stranger is friend or foe. The response famously is "no", with an implied reminder that God's side might not be as simple as our human allies or enemies. This passage is only brief, but resonates with other parts of the Old Testament that speak somewhat against any trivial reading of the conquest of Jericho and other lands.

Welcome to Adventist News & Views, your source for the latest information and insights shaping the Adventist conversation. Hosted by Jacklyn Frias. Here are the highlights of this week: The 2025 Annual Council concludes with global leaders renewing calls for integration, mission focus, and spiritual courage. At Southern Adventist University, students react to the unexpected end of a $3 million DHSI grant, after the U.S. Department of Education discontinued race-based funding for Minority-Serving Institutions. In Part 1 of her reflection series, Ezrica Bennett dives into the spiritual and emotional challenge of loving across political divides. Iceland Adventists issue a rare statement calling for peace, prayer, and humanitarian support amid the ongoing crisis in Gaza. A new book review connects Defy to Adventist values, urging moral courage and the power of principled refusal. This week's Sabbath School lesson reflects on God's guidance through the Jordan crossing—reminding us to trust divine leadership in times of uncertainty.
Crossing the Jordan river with Joshua is a bit like crossing the Red Sea with Moses, but some differences are intriguing. This story is told in Joshua 3 using a lot of dialog, and it is striking how many different messages are given to different groups. In some ways it highlights the connectedness of the community, and at the same time it almost seems to speak of a stricter organisational hierarchy.

Who preaches in your church each Sabbath? Peter was used to preaching about Jesus only to the Jews. But God had other plans for him. “God does not show favoritism.” ACTS 10:34, NIV. God's children can be friends to everyone.
