The last of the generation that experienced the exodus from enslavement in Africa to enslaving others and the “Promised Land” passes away, including Joshua and Eleazar.

Joshua warns the congregation to stay faithful and to not fall into idolatry by mixing with the nations they’ve conquered.

War is narrowly avoided when the congregation is divided over a newly erected altar.

The Levites are repeatedly told they’ll receive no inheritance as the other tribes did because their portion is the offerings that all the other tribes are instructed to give. Yet, this chapter makes it clear that the Levites also received property to boot!

t’s Not Rape If You Don’t Scream?!? 😳 What about mute & non-verbal people?? The utterly disgusting regulations regarding rape victims. Still believe God said this and is unbiased/shows no favoritism ??

Colonizing the Promised Land violates 3 of the Big 10 Commandments, so why would the Lord order people to do so?? 🤔

Jesus lays out events to take note of that signify pivotal moments in world history and humanity’s future & finality.

Jesus makes it clear that what should be going forth into all the world by evangelicals is observance of all things He has commanded, yet modern times reveal a generation of a Bible-thumping den of thieves with get rich schemes.

The death penalty was explicitly forbidden when Cain killed Abel in Genesis, even though modern-day Bible-thumpers embrace the idea. Upon conquering the Promised Land the congregation is instructed to appoint entire cities of refuge for those guilty of manslaughter so they avoid the death penalty as murderers.

The rest of the tribes receive their portion of the Promised Land.
