Joshua 11

After so long a time, as it is said, today, if you will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.

For if Jesus, that's the New Testament rendering of Joshua, if Joshua or Jesus had given them rest, then would he not after it have spoken of another day? There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.

For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.

Let us therefore labor to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.

But yet there's another rest that's beyond the gospel.

Look at verse 8 and 9.

It says here in verse 8, For if Joshua, if Jesus, Joshua, had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day? There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.

The first generation under Moses did not enter the promised land because of unbelief.

... coming from Gath.

Well, l- let me, let me zip back a moment to Joshua chapter 11, because, um, Joshua chapter 11 is just this beautiful phrase.

There's a couple of verses in Joshua 11:21 through 23 where Joshua's coming in and he's basically defeating the, uh, the Anakim, the Anakim tribes-

Mm-hmm

...

Uh, w- we would say maybe giant clans.

How about I use that phrase? So there's a lot of giant clans, um, that were in the land.

Well, specifically the Anakim in Joshua 11, yeah.

I'm your host, Shaka Hines, and today we're continuing our Joshua series.

And after this short word from our sponsor, we'll dive into today's Bible verse in Joshua 11, verse 23.

Today's Bible verse is Joshua 11, 23.

So Joshua took the entire land just as the Lord had directed Moses, and he gave it as an inheritance to Israel according to their tribal divisions.

I want to hear what you uncovered and what you've learned about that site.

Yeah, I think it's what you just described is for the sake of context, Joshua 11, right? It says there that Joshua was, they came in and they're chasing after these giant tribes and they flee, Joshua 11, 21 through 23.

It says clear, they fled to the West, to the Pentapolis cities that is well-known of the Philistine cities and Ekron and Ashdod and Ashkelon and others at Gaza, as well as, Yeah.

So to me, when I was there, I was there in 2008.

None of that means destroy.

And it's not as if Joshua doesn't know the word destroy because it does show up later in Joshua 11.

[lips smack] So it's not like, oh, this is just like a, a word that was used in this particular time to mean this, and it was written at a different time than the priestly, if you wanna get all, uh, if you wanna get all documentary hypothesis.

Not that any of us here would.

We got, you know, probably 10, 15 more minutes here.

This is from Joshua 11.

He says, Trey Dogg, after rewatching the game, I still think KJ has some potential to be fine, but not behind this offensive line, especially 64 Bryant Williams.
