WHO IS THE GOD OF ISRAEL? // JOSHUA 21

Beginning at Joshua 10:29 through Joshua 12:24, this section of the Book of Joshua summarizes Israel's conquest of the southern (10:29-43) and northern cities (11:1-15) in Palestine, and closes with a list of the names of some of the kings whom Israel defeated (11:16-12:24). Since there is probably a map of the conquest located in the back of your Bible, it would be very helpful as you read these chapters.   Two things stand out in this record: It was the Lord who gave the victory (10:30, 32, 42; 11:6, 8). “But the LORD said to Joshua, "Do not be afraid because of them, for tomorrow about this time I will deliver all of them slain before Israel” (Joshua 11:6). “And the LORD delivered them into the hand of Israel, who defeated them and chased them to Greater Sidon…” (Joshua 11:8). Also, Joshua obeyed the Lord by utterly destroying the enemy, just as Moses had commanded. “As the LORD had commanded Moses his servant, so Moses commanded Joshua, and so Joshua did. He left nothing undone of all that the LORD had commanded Moses.” (Joshua 11:15). The only exception was Gibeon.   Joshua's strategy was to cut across the land and divide it, then conquer the southern cities, then the northern cities. On more than one occasion, he made a surprise attack on the enemy (10:9; 11:7); and the promises of the Lord encouraged him (v. 6; see 1:9; 8:1). In 10:29-35, you have the record of the army fighting in the foothills; but in verse 36, the campaign moves to the mountains. The northern coalition of kings was unable to defeat Israel even though their army was much larger than that of the Jews (11:1-9).   The Anakim mentioned in Joshua 11:21-22 were a race of giants, descendants of Anak, who were greatly feared by the ten unbelieving men who had spied out Canaan (Num. 13:22, 28, 33). The two believing spies, Joshua and Caleb, didn't fear them but had trusted the Lord for victory. Joshua's victory over the Anakim is recorded in Joshua 11:21-22 and Caleb's victory in 14:12-15.   Thirty-three kings are named in Joshua 12, beginning with Sihon and Og whose lands were east of Jordan and had been conquered under the leadership of Moses (vv. 1-8; Num. 21:21-35). The sixteen kings defeated in the southern campaign are listed in Joshua 12:9-16 and the fifteen northern kings in verses 17-24.   From these chapters we are reminded that crossing the Jordan and entering Canaan, the Promise Land, is not a picture of entering heaven. When we get to heaven there will not be any more battles to fight. John tells us in Revelation 21:1-4, “…And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away." While we are still here on earth, we will have battles to fight with the “evil one”, the flesh, and the world. But we can take courage and “not be afraid” (v. 6, 8), because we are promised that the LORD has already determined that the enemies will be conquered by His power when we obey and follow Him by faith!   And finally, Paul reminds us in Romans 8:31-39 “…If God is for us, who can be against us? …Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”   God Bless!

24 that all the peoples of the earth may know the hand of the LORD, that it is mighty, that you may fear the LORD your God forever."   In Joshua 3, we learned that before the people of Israel could experience the miracle of crossing the Jordan River into the Promise Land, they had to receive the “Word of Faith”, a message from God through His servant Joshua, that gave them specific instructions on what to do. Then they had to trust and obey that message by taking the “Walk of Faith”, that first step into the Jordan River to see the mighty hand of God part the waters and dry up the waterbed so they could walk across on dry land to the other side.   The Lord was in control of all the activities at the Jordan River that day. He told the priests when to enter the river and when to leave and go to the other side. He told the water when to roll back and when to return. Both the water and the people obeyed Him, and everything worked out as God planned. It was a day that glorified the Lord and magnified His servant Joshua (Joshua 4:14).   Now in Joshua 4, we read about the “Witness of Faith”. Two heaps of stones were set up as memorials of Israel's crossing of the Jordan River: twelve stones at Gilgal (vv. 1-8,10-24), and twelve stones in the midst of the river (v. 9). They were witnesses that God honors faith and works on behalf of those who trust Him.   This heap of twelve stones was a reminder of what God did for His people. The Jews were great believers in teaching the next generation about Jehovah and His special relationship to the people of Israel (Joshua 4:6, 21; Ex. 12:26; 13:14; Deut. 6:20; see Pss. 34:11-16; 71:17-18; 78:1-7; 79:13; 89:1; 102:18). To an unbeliever, the heap of twelve stones was simply another stone pile; but to a believing Israelite, it was a constant reminder that Jehovah was his or her God, working His wonders on behalf of His people.   But also note that Joshua put an obligation on the Jews to fear the Lord and bear witness of Him to the whole world (Josh. 4:24). The God who can open the river is the God everybody ought to fear, love, and obey! Israel needed to tell the other nations about Him and invite them to trust Him too. The God of Israel cares for His people, keeps His promises, goes before them in victory, and never fails. What a witness to give to the world!   Today, we have the Word of God that reveals to us the will of God for our lives. If we trust and obey His Word, we will walk by faith and experience God's marvelous miracles in our lives! But these miracles are not just for us but should be a witness for our children, grandchildren, and for generations to come. How do we leave a witness today?   Every Sunday when we go to church should be a witness and reminder to our family, friends, and the world around us that we believe Jesus died for us, was buried and rose again the third day! He is alive and still able to save us from our sins and set us free! Every time each week as we give our tithes and offerings it is a witness to our faith that we believe that it is God who gives us power to get wealth (Deuteronomy 8:17-18), to purchase food, clothing, and shelter for our families. Every time we bow our head and pray for our meals before we eat is a witness to our faith that it is God who provided it for us!   Today, are you leaving a “Witness of Faith” for your family, friends, and the world around you? “That all the peoples of the earth may know the hand of the LORD, that it is mighty, that you may fear the LORD your God forever." (v. 24).   God bless!

Life is full of challenges! No sooner than God called and commissioned Joshua to take the place of the great Moses and lead the people of Israel into the Promise Land, there was an issue with three of the tribes. We must face the reality that the Christian life is not a bed of roses but is a time of troubles, trials, temptations, testing, and tribulation. Jesus had warned His disciples in John 16:33: “These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world."   After Joshua personally been encouraged by the LORD in verses 1-9, and he had encouraged the leaders and officers of the people, he had a special word for the two and a half tribes that lived on the other side of Jordan and had already received their inheritance (Numbers 32). He reminded them of Moses' words of instruction and warning (Deut. 3:12-20) and urged them to keep the promise they had made.   Joshua was concerned that Israel be a united people in conquering the land and in worshiping the Lord. The two and a half tribes did keep their promise to help conquer the land, but they still created a problem for Joshua and Israel because they lived on the other side of the Jordan (Josh. 22).   In the nation of Israel, it was the able men twenty years and older who went out to war (Numbers 1:3); and the record shows that the two and a half tribes had 136,930 men available (Numbers 26:7, 18, 34). But only 40,000 men actually crossed the Jordan and fought in the Promised Land (Joshua 4:13). The rest of the recruits stayed to protect the women and children in the cities the tribes had taken in the land of Jazer and the land of Gilead (Numbers 32:1-5,16-19). When the soldiers returned home, they shared the spoils of war with their brothers (Joshua 22:6-8).   It was a concession on Moses' part to allow the two and a half tribes to live outside the Promised Land. The tribes liked the land there because it was "a place for cattle" (Numbers 32:1, 4, 16). Apparently their first concern was making a living, not making a life. They would rather have big flocks and herds than dwell with their brothers and sisters in the inheritance God had given them.   When Moses gave in to their request to stay on the east side of the Jordan, he had also warned them that if they didn't keep their promise to send their men of war ahead the army into the Promise Land, God would hold them accountable. Numbers 32:23: “But if you do not do so, then take note, you have sinned against the LORD; and be sure your sin will find you out.”   These three tribes were far from the place of worship and had to erect a special monument to remind their children that they were citizens of Israel (Joshua 22:10-34). They represent the many "borderline believers" in the church today who get close to the inheritance, but never quite claim it, no matter how successful they may seem to be. They are willing to serve the Lord and help their brethren for a time; but when their appointed job is finished, they head for home to do what they want to do.   May the Lord give us grace today not to be “borderline Christians” but be fully committed followers of Jesus Christ who are courageous enough to stand up for the truth in a corrupt and evil culture!   God bless!

Joshua had strongly and forthrightly declared to the nation of Israel… Joshua 24:14-15 “So fear the Lord and serve him wholeheartedly.

Sunday Service LIVE | What Happened At Gilgal...and WHY YOU SHOULD KNOW! Website: www.PastorTodd.org To support this ministry: www.ToddCoconato.com/give There are at least two locations named Gilgal in the Bible. There was a Gilgal just west of the Jordan River near Jericho (Joshua 5:9, 13) and one nearer Bethel (2 Kings 2:1–2). Some scholars believe there was a third place named Gilgal near Mount Gerizim and Mount Ebal (Deuteronomy 11:29–30). The meaning of the name Gilgal is “rolling.” Gilgal is not mentioned in the New Testament, but the Old Testament depicts it as follows: Gilgal was a place of memorial. Gilgal is significant in the Bible as serving as a place of memorial for the Israelites, to remind them of what God had done. After miraculously crossing the Jordan River into the Promised Land, the Israelites set up twelve stones taken from the river, representing the twelve tribes, to serve as a reminder to the children of Israel (Joshua 4:19–20). The stones at Gilgal would remind the Israelites and their descendants of the power of God and how He had dried up the Jordan River so they could walk through it, just as He had done to the Red Sea (Joshua 4:21–24). The stones at Gilgal would serve a teaching purpose to the younger generation, so that they too could remember what the Lord had done for them (Joshua 4:21–22). Gilgal was a place of consecration and change. It was at Gilgal that the Israelites were circumcised and celebrated their first Passover in the Promised Land (Joshua 5:7–8, 10). The children of those who had wandered in the desert had not yet been circumcised, and it was time for them to take the sign of the covenant and be set apart as God's people. This time of circumcision is what gave Gilgal its name, for the Lord said He had “rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you” (Joshua 5:9). The “reproach” was the Israelites' uncircumcised condition; the “rolling away” of that reproach set them apart, once and for all, from the Egyptian people and way of life. After the Israelites celebrated the Passover and began to eat the produce of their new land, the manna that the Lord had provided the Israelites during their years of wandering stopped. This also happened while they were camped at Gilgal (Joshua 5:11–12). A place of worship. Years later, Gilgal was still a place of worship to offer sacrifices to the Lord, and it was the place where Saul was publicly crowned the first king of Israel (1 Samuel 10:8; 11:15). Unfortunately, as the Israelites slipped into idolatry, Gilgal became connected with the worship of false gods (Hosea 4:15; Amos 4:4). A place of judgment. It was at Gilgal that Samuel rebuked Saul and prophesied of his loss of the kingdom (1 Samuel 13:13–14). Saul had been instructed to stay at Gilgal and wait for Samuel before offering sacrifices to the Lord there (1 Samuel 10:8; 13:8). Rather than obey, Saul took the matter in his own hands and sacrificed to the Lord at Gilgal (1 Samuel 13:9–12). When Samuel arrived, he announced judgment on Saul for his disobedience, stating that Saul's kingdom and position would not endure (1 Samuel 13:14). A place of prophets. Gilgal was one of three cities where Samuel regularly held court as the judge of Israel (1 Samuel 7:16). It seems that Elijah and Elisha spent some time at a place called Gilgal before Elijah's departure to heaven (2 Kings 2:1–2). This is most likely not the same Gilgal as where Joshua had camped; rather, it is a place nearer Bethel in central Canaan. Sometime after Elijah was gone, Elisha returned to Gilgal where many other prophets resided (2 Kings 4:38). There, he found that Gilgal was in the midst of a famine and so made sure the prophets were fed. He also miraculously fed around a hundred other residents (2 Kings 4:38–44). Gilgal was a significant place in that it reminded the Israelites of their heritage, served as a place of worship, and was visited by kings and prophets.

The book of Joshua is an often-overlooked book in the Bible, but it provides a wealth of understanding and context necessary to understand the larger narrative going on throughout scripture and the direction and history of Israel. Joshua is also probably the most contentious book in the Old Testament in our time. It is the book and contains the stories that so many preachers and teachers want to distance themselves from because they believe it teaches things inconsistent with Jesus and the nature of God. Nothing could be further from the truth. Understanding not only what happened, but the how's and why's of what happened in Joshua show us that God's activities and nature have, in fact, not changed. Ever. He is the same God of creation, the same God of Revelation and Jesus and all His teachings are one with the Father. Joshua is as much a story of the nature of God as it is a history of where and what land the Israelites took for themselves. It is history, geography and theology all rolled into one. -----------LINKS----------Support 10WB on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/10weekbibleThe 10 Week Bible - http://www.10WeekBible.comTwitter: @DarrenHibbs - https://twitter.com/DarrenHibbsSign up for my newsletter - http://www.darrenhibbs.comGet a copy of the 10 Week Bible Study today - https://www.amazon.com/Darren-Hibbs/e/B00B4I47CE/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=sl2&tag=darrenhcom0a-20&linkId=401f3d79974c70929517936977e32df9My other YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChUU0XHSHuhSyN8qk-7efYgSupport the show

Circumcision of Israel - Joshua 5

Circumcision of Israel - Joshua 5

Happy New year and welcome to 2023! As the year begun we all prepared a list of things in which we would love to be better at or to accomplish « a new year resolution » which is not bad however, let's us all remember this year to be intentional, consistent and disciplined. As the Joshua said to the children of Israel ( Joshua 3:5) « … for you have not passed this way before » 2023 is a brand new year, it's a clean slate.

1 Samuel 12:17 Is it not wheat harvest today? I will call upon the Lord, that he may send thunder and rain. And you shall know and see that your wickedness is great, which you have done in the sight of the Lord, in asking for yourselves a king.” 18 So Samuel called upon the Lord, and the Lord sent thunder and rain that day, and all the people greatly feared the Lord and Samuel. The Israelites wanted a king, and they got one—a good-looking, tall man who led them in victory over the Ammonites, a nation that was taking over Jabesh Gilead [locate]. When the Lord gave victory to Israel, the people were very excited about that victory and about their new king.  Samuel directed them, saying, “Let us all go to Gilgal and renew the kingdom.” Saul had already been crowned at Mizpeh. Now, however, they sacrificed “peace offerings before the Lord, and there in Gilgal Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly” (1 Samuel 11:15). The meaning of the name Gilgal is “rolling.” Gilgal was a place of memorial. There are different places named Gilgal in the Bible. Gilgal is significant in the Bible as serving as a place of memorial for the Israelites, to remind them of what God had done. After miraculously crossing the Jordan River into the Promised Land, the Israelites set up twelve stones taken from the river, representing the twelve tribes, to serve as a reminder to the children of Israel (Joshua 4:19–20). The stones at Gilgal would remind the Israelites and their descendants of the power of God and how He had dried up the Jordan River so they could walk through it, just as He had done to the Red Sea Samuel's speech Samuel got up to speak; he said “I listened to you and have made a king over you. He's walking before you here. “I am old and gray-haired, and my sons are here. I have walked before you since childhood.. “Tell me. Have I taken an ox? a donkey? Have I cheated anyone? Have I made trouble for anyone? Have I received any bribes? If I have, I will give them all back.” The people answered, “No, you haven't done any of these things.” Samuel verified their answer, “Do you call the Lord to witness what you say?” The people said, “He is witness.” The prophet did his own defence before the people and then passed God's judgement because they ignored the Lord and made Saul a king.Samuel's challenge “Now,” said Samuel, “you are about to see what shall be done because of your great wickedness in asking for a king. It is wheat harvest. You know it never rains during this season. If it did, it would spoil the crop. However, I call upon the Lord to send thunder.”  How had God defeated the Philistines earlier when Samuel had prayed? With thunder. Now Samuel said, “God will send thunder and rain so that you may understand and see that your wickedness is great in God's sight by asking for a king.” Samuel's prayer1 Samuel 12:1 19 And all the people said to Samuel, “Pray for your servants to the Lord your God, that we may not die, for we have added to all our sins this evil, to ask for ourselves a king.” 20 And Samuel said to the people, “Do not be afraid; you have done all this evil. Yet do not turn aside from following the Lord, but serve the Lord with all your heart.Then Samuel prayed, and God sent thunder and rain that day. The Bible states, “All the people greatly feared the Lord and Samuel.” In fact, the people cried, “Pray for us that we don't die! We have added to all our sins by asking for a king.” Samuel told the people not to fear. Jesus tells His people many times in the Gospels not to fear. Here is one example: ” Luke 12:32 “Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdomSometimes we do mistakes and without thinking we do radical decisions without consulting God. Though we may pay the consequences we should trust in God's grace and forgiveness.1 John 1:9  If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.No one is perfect. No one is without sin. No one can possibly obey all of God's commandments (or any set of rules for that matter) perfectly, not even devout Christians. Inevitably we will sin, and as long as we have faith in Him and we ask for forgiveness, honestly repenting, we will be forgiven unconditionally.Ephesians 1:7 in Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace.

And it came to pass, when Jabin king of Hazor had heard those things, that he sent to Jobab king of Madon, and to the king of Shimron, and to the king of Achshaph,2 And to the kings that were on the north of the mountains, and of the plains south of Chinneroth, and in the valley, and in the borders of Dor on the west,3 And to the Canaanite on the east and on the west, and to the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite in the mountains, and to the Hivite under Hermon in the land of Mizpeh.4 And they went out, they and all their hosts with them, much people, even as the sand that is upon the sea shore in multitude, with horses and chariots very many.5 And when all these kings were met together, they came and pitched together at the waters of Merom, to fight against Israel.6 And the Lord said unto Joshua, Be not afraid because of them: for to morrow about this time will I deliver them up all slain before Israel: thou shalt hough their horses, and burn their chariots with fire.7 So Joshua came, and all the people of war with him, against them by the waters of Merom suddenly; and they fell upon them.8 And the Lord delivered them into the hand of Israel, who smote them, and chased them unto great Zidon, and unto Misrephothmaim, and unto the valley of Mizpeh eastward; and they smote them, until they left them none remaining.9 And Joshua did unto them as the Lord bade him: he houghed their horses, and burnt their chariots with fire.10 And Joshua at that time turned back, and took Hazor, and smote the king thereof with the sword: for Hazor beforetime was the head of all those kingdoms.11 And they smote all the souls that were therein with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying them: there was not any left to breathe: and he burnt Hazor with fire.12 And all the cities of those kings, and all the kings of them, did Joshua take, and smote them with the edge of the sword, and he utterly destroyed them, as Moses the servant of the Lord commanded.13 But as for the cities that stood still in their strength, Israel burned none of them, save Hazor only; that did Joshua burn.14 And all the spoil of these cities, and the cattle, the children of Israel took for a prey unto themselves; but every man they smote with the edge of the sword, until they had destroyed them, neither left they any to breathe.15 As the Lord commanded Moses his servant, so did Moses command Joshua, and so did Joshua; he left nothing undone of all that the Lord commanded Moses.16 So Joshua took all that land, the hills, and all the south country, and all the land of Goshen, and the valley, and the plain, and the mountain of Israel, and the valley of the same;17 Even from the mount Halak, that goeth up to Seir, even unto Baalgad in the valley of Lebanon under mount Hermon: and all their kings he took, and smote them, and slew them.18 Joshua made war a long time with all those kings.19 There was not a city that made peace with the children of Israel, save the Hivites the inhabitants of Gibeon: all other they took in battle.20 For it was of the Lord to harden their hearts, that they should come against Israel in battle, that he might destroy them utterly, and that they might have no favour, but that he might destroy them, as the Lord commanded Moses.21 And at that time came Joshua, and cut off the Anakims from the mountains, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, and from all the mountains of Judah, and from all the mountains of Israel: Joshua destroyed them utterly with their cities.22 There was none of the Anakims left in the land of the children of Israel: only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod, there remained.23 So Joshua took the whole land, according to all that the Lord said unto Moses; and Joshua gave it for an inheritance unto Israel according to their divisions by their tribes. And the land rested from war.

Esther Singer Kreitman hade två bröder som också var författare. En av dem var populärast under 20-40-talet, men dog tidigt: Israel Joshua. Den andre fick nobelpriset 1978 och har blivit odödlig: Isaac Bashevis. Själv kom hon i skymundan, som kvinnliga författare ofta gjorde på den tiden. Nu finns i alla fall en av hennes båda romaner, Demonernas dans, översatt till svenska direkt från jiddisch. Översättningen är gjord av läkaren och jiddischkulturprofilen i Lund Salomon Schulman. Thomas Lunderquist har träffat honom för att höra lite mer om Kreitman.

#047 My annual Bible reading begins with Genesis and ends in Revelation every year. Every year I'd get to the end of Esther and ponder how to reconcile what I'd read in the Pentateuch versus what I'd read from Joshua to Esther. These two groupings didn't seem to go together. Not until just this year, doing this podcast, did I realize the disconnect I'd been seeing.To understand the conquest of the promised land and Israel's great failures it is important to see their purpose in the world as established by God from the beginning. On this episode, DrZ starts at the beginning of Genesis and points out major storyline elements that continue to the end of the Bible. These story elements run straight through the conquest of Israel and highlight their downfall.In a nutshell, the reason you don't see much of what's commanded in the Pentateuch being followed from Joshua to Esther is because the commands weren't being followed. That's the reason God disbursed the northern kingdom throughout the Assyrian empire and took a remnant of the people of Judah into Babylonian captivity. Now I can more fully appreciate the long suffering, grace, and mercy of God.  If you can remember anything, let it be God's words to Cain before he kills his brother Abel, and God's words to King Saul after God acknowledged his regret that he had ever made Saul king. The passage for Cain is Genesis 4:6-7 -  The LORD said to Cain, “Why are you angry, and why has your face fallen? 7 If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the door. Its desire is contrary to you, but you must rule over it.” The passage for Saul is 1 Samuel 15:22-23 -  Samuel said, “Has the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to listen than the fat of rams. 23 For rebellion is as the sin of divination, and presumption is as iniquity and idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the LORD, he has also rejected you from being king.”   [TakeAway – Do What is Right by Listening and Obey.] Soon after entering the promised land on conquest Israel began to experience mission failure. By the time you get to Judges (just the second book in), the people had cast God and his covenant to the wind as there was no king in Israel and everyone did what was right in their own eyes. If you want to know what was up with Israel after entering the promised land and why God finally had enough, this is a must listen episode.Thank you to all the loyal listeners who encourage me in my faith each and every podcast as I prepare, record, edit, and release the episodes.

  Summary: The Jews needed circumcising (v.2) because they'd stopped it in the wilderness. God led them with a pillar (Ex.13:21), and sometimes moved them suddenly, “at night” (Num.9:17, 21), and newly circumcised boys shouldn't be moved. But God waited … Continue reading →

And it came to pass, when Jabin king of Hazor had heard those things, that he sent to Jobab king of Madon, and to the king of Shimron, and to the king of Achshaph, And to the kings that were on the north of the mountains, and of the plains south of Chinneroth, and in the valley, and in the borders of Dor on the west, And to the Canaanite on the east and on the west, and to the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite in the mountains, and to the Hivite under Hermon in the land of Mizpah. And they went out, they and all their hosts with them, much people, even as the sand that is upon the sea shore in multitude, with horses and chariots very many. And when all these kings were met together, they came and pitched together at the waters of Merom, to fight against Israel. And the Lord said unto Joshua, Be not afraid because of them: for to morrow about this time will I deliver them up all slain before Israel: thou shalt hough their horses, and burn their chariots with fire. So Joshua came, and all the people of war with him, against them by the waters of Merom suddenly; and they fell upon them. And the Lord delivered them into the hand of Israel, who smote them, and chased them unto great Zidon, and unto Misrephoth–maim, and unto the valley of Mizpeh eastward; and they smote them, until they left them none remaining. And Joshua did unto them as the Lord bade him: he houghed their horses, and burnt their chariots with fire. And Joshua at that time turned back, and took Hazor, and smote the king thereof with the sword: for Hazor beforetime was the head of all those kingdoms. And they smote all the souls that were therein with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying them: there was not any left to breathe: and he burnt Hazor with fire. And all the cities of those kings, and all the kings of them, did Joshua take, and smote them with the edge of the sword, and he utterly destroyed them, as Moses the servant of the Lord commanded. But as for the cities that stood still in their strength, Israel burned none of them, save Hazor only; that did Joshua burn. And all the spoil of these cities, and the cattle, the children of Israel took for a prey unto themselves; but every man they smote with the edge of the sword, until they had destroyed them, neither left they any to breathe. As the Lord commanded Moses his servant, so did Moses command Joshua, and so did Joshua; he left nothing undone of all that the Lord commanded Moses. So Joshua took all that land, the hills, and all the south country, and all the land of Goshen, and the valley, and the plain, and the mountain of Israel, and the valley of the same; Even from the mount Halak, that goeth up to Seir, even unto Baal–gad in the valley of Lebanon under mount Hermon: and all their kings he took, and smote them, and slew them. Joshua made war a long time with all those kings. There was not a city that made peace with the children of Israel, save the Hivites the inhabitants of Gibeon: all other they took in battle. For it was of the Lord to harden their hearts, that they should come against Israel in battle, that he might destroy them utterly, and that they might have no favour, but that he might destroy them, as the Lord commanded Moses. And at that time came Joshua, and cut off the Anakims from the mountains, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, and from all the mountains of Judah, and from all the mountains of Israel: Joshua destroyed them utterly with their cities. There was none of the Anakims left in the land of the children of Israel: only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod, there remained.

After the death of Moses, the Lord said to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' assistant, -Moses my servant is dead. Now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, you and all this people, into the land that I am giving to them, to the people of Israel- -Joshua 1-1-2-.--Moses died. But the work of God moves on. In a very direct and no nonsense way, the Lord tells Joshua that he must take over for Moses and lead the Israelites into the Promised Land. However, this was not going to be some picnic or walk in the park. Joshua was about to embark on a new role with far greater responsibilities and burdens than he had ever known before.

This message from Joshua 10:1-15 addresses the important topic of how to interpret the Old Testament. “So the sun stopped in the middle of the sky and delayed its setting almost a full day.  There has been no day like it before or since, when the Lord listened to the voice of a man, because the Lord fought for Israel…” Joshua 10:13-14 (HCSB) NOTE: This is a repeat episode of an episode recorded in 2019.

Today we move on to the Book of Joshua! In the first eight chapters of this amazing record we find that a new man is leading the nation of Israel: Joshua. He was Moses' assistant for many years, but now that Moses is gone, he must take the lead. And he learns, and we learn, that what you cannot righteously run away from, will define who you are.

February 7, 2013 Lifechanges Lesson #10, God Fights for Israel - Joshua 10:1-12:24

Julia Fisher talks to Joshua Pex. Born in Eilat in southern Israel to a Jewish mother and a Dutch father, after serving his statutory time in the Israeli army, he went to study law at university and today he works for a large law firm in Jerusalem where he specialises in human rights, social justice and religious freedom in Israel. He is married to Sarah, a social worker; and it is perhaps because of meeting Sarah that he was first introduced to an aspect of Israeli society that lies largely hidden from view – sex trafficking.
