Day 77
Invasion and conquest - central campaign - conquest of Jericho - Josh 5 and 6. A couple of sites about the archeological finds: www.answersingenesis.org/creation/v21/i2/jericho.asp www.biblearchaeology.org/post/2008/06/The-Walls-of-Jericho.aspx Rahab spared (marries Salmon) Defeat at Ai, Achan's Sin - interestingly this is man is from the tribe of Judah. Josh laments to the Lord, "...would we stayed on the other side of Jordan..." I do this...lament when things get tough - when Father really wants me to stand firm. Jos 7:10 And the LORD said unto Joshua, Get thee up; wherefore liest thou thus upon thy face? Jos 7:11 Israel hath sinned, and they have also transgressed my covenant which I commanded them: for they have even taken of the accursed thing, and have also stolen, and dissembled also, and they have put it even among their own stuff. Jos 7:12 Therefore the children of Israel could not stand before their enemies, but turned their backs before their enemies, because they were accursed: neither will I be with you any more, except ye destroy the accursed from among you. Jos 7:13 Up, sanctify the people, and say, Sanctify yourselves against to morrow: for thus saith the LORD God of Israel, There is an accursed thing in the midst of thee, O Israel: thou canst not stand before thine enemies, until ye take away the accursed thing from among you. Lord, if there is sin in the camp, please expose it and help us to deal with it. Let us not cling to our thoughts or our ways. Cleanse us Lord and let us be vessels of honor in Your hand. 1Pe 4:17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? |
