  1. Is there another "day" of rest still to come?

    Brothers and Sisters, those with Joshua who "first heard" the "good news" of how to enter the Sabbath and were not allowed to enter by oath for 40 years in the desert near the Promised Land, did not enter the "day" of rest during those 40 years, which Joshua later entered at an earlier time than...
  2. Curse tablet on mount Ebal found

    https://www.haaretz.com/archaeology/.premium-early-israelite-curse-inscription-found-on-mt-ebal-1.10696926 An early 14th century BC lead curse tablet mentioning YHW was found on mount Ebal - the mountain from which Joshua had curses pronounced - in proto-Canaanite script.
  3. Jesus rose on what day?

    Brothers and sisters, happy Sabbath! No translation has understood the "expression" of God: "the first of the Sabbaths". It does not refer to Sunday but to Saturday being the first Sabbath, another way of referring to the seventh day of the creation week. This is necessary because the Sabbath...
  4. The Word of God

    I am reading Joshua at the moment and it is exciting, not to say I haven't read the stories before. They have been preached on many times over the years of attending Church and before that Sunday School. I read in Joshua 1:8 An encounter with the living God, such a time is precious
  5. Joshua's Visit To A Mountain.

    Has anyone noticed that Jesus' 40 days in the wilderness to be tempted has a parallel. Jesus' anglicized Hebrew name is Joshua and in the OT there is a famous Joshua. This Joshua led the Israelites into Canaan as well as a few other deeds. Exo 24:13 So Moses rose with his assistant Joshua, and...
  6. All For One...

    Exodus 17:8-16 is fascinating. It tells the story of the battle between Israel and Amalek. In a nutshell it says that Moses watched the battle from the top of a hill and when he held his arms up Israel prevailed but when he let them droop down Amalek prevailed. The solution was to set Moses down...
  7. Did Joshua Stop the Sun?

    According to Joshua 10: 9-15, Joshua asked God to stop the sun in the sky. Both the sun and the moon stopped for some hours, during a battle. God assured that the Israelite army would have enough light to pursue the enemy. The story is a bit puzzling. According to the Book of Joshua, the enemy...
  8. God Commissions Joshua

    Joshua God Commissions Joshua 1 Now after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD it came to pass, that the LORD spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' minister, saying, 2 Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I...
  9. At what stage of Joshua's leadership did he become Judge?

    Question for Old Testament buffs: The Seder Olam (Ancient Jewish Chronology) states that Joshua was a judge over Israel for 28 years. We know that he succeeded Moses 40 years after leaving Egypt (Joshua 1:1), and that he died at the ripe old age of 110. (Joshua 24:29) So, that makes him 42...
