Imagine the scene: The warriors of Israel are preparing for what is likely their biggest battle in the history of their country - the first major battle of the conquest of the Promised Land against the mighty and fortified city of Jericho. God instructs Joshua to have ALL of the soldiers of Israel CIRCUMCISED. BEFORE THE BATTLE! Why would God command such a seemingly preposterous thing?
How important is unity in the church? Jesus notes that a divided house can't possibly stand, calling His people to be united and avoid disunity. How can this happen? Also: Is Beelzebul that same entity as Satan?
Jesus was meek, humble and lowly upon His first visit to earth, but - as Isaiah 63 shows us - will return as a powerful and magnificent warrior. What will the return of Jesus look like, and how does 'vengeance is mine' work out?
Let's face it - snakes don't are not at all looked upon very highly in the Bible. From the Garden of Eden, to the Exodus wilderness, to the serpent's appearance in Revelation, snakes are associated with evil, lies, deception, venom, death and, of course, the devil himself. Why then does Jesus tell His followers to be as shrewd as SNAKES?!
Moses was one of the greatest leaders who ever lived, and therefore Joshua faced a daunting task when he was chosen to lead the Israelites following the death of Moses. Five times, God exhorts and urges Joshua to be 'strong and courageous.' That's easier said than done, right? Good news, however: God gives Joshua two keys - two foundations to stand on to help him be strong and courageous. What are they?
