What did Joshua mean when he declared that "not one word of all the good promises that the Lord made to the house of Israel had failed"? This profound statement challenges many contemporary theological perspectives about God's relationship with Israel and what remains unfulfilled.
Through a careful examination of Joshua 21:43-45 and 23:14, we uncover a striking truth: God fulfilled every promise He made to national Israel under the old covenant. The land was given, rest from enemies was granted, and all good promises were completed—exactly as God had sworn to their fathers. This revelation forces us to reconsider popular dispensational views that suggest God still owes unfulfilled promises to the nation of Israel.
The key insight emerges in distinguishing between promises made under the old covenant versus prophetic declarations about the new covenant. Paul's teachings in Galatians clarify that justification comes either by works of the law or by faith—never a mixture of both. The law served a divine purpose, not as a means of salvation, but to demonstrate our universal guilt before God and need for a Savior.
We discover that Abraham, Moses, and other heroes of faith were looking beyond the natural, earthly promises they received to something far greater—spiritual promises that would find ultimate fulfillment through Christ. This perspective illuminates why Christ is the true heir of all God's promises, and how the new covenant establishes a spiritual Israel comprised of both Jews and Gentiles who believe.
The beauty of God's redemptive plan shines through as we recognize that the "middle wall of partition" between Jews and Gentiles has been permanently removed, creating one new humanity in Christ. The physical promises of the old covenant pointed toward greater spiritual realities now available to all who trust in Jesus.
What are you putting your faith in—earthly, temporary promises or the eternal inheritance available through Christ? Join us as we explore how ancient texts reveal timeless truths about God's faithfulness and His ultimate plan for salvation.
