Sermon Transcript Tone Analysis

Praise the Lord.

If you would take your Bibles and actually look at two passages of scripture tonight, if you would take your bowels and turn to Joshua chapter, number 11, Joshua chapter number 11.

But then also turn to Colossians Colossians chapter 2.

We'll look at the Colossians chapter 2 in just a moment.

So Colossians 2 and then also Joshua chapter number 11, let's once again, pray and ask for His blessings upon this time of study.

Our Father God, we are grateful or that you have promised us Heaven where the soul, never dies, and I place that cannot be touched with the infirmities that we are.

So so we'll know today and Father, we are looking forward. 2 to a land that is void of all those things.

But certainly father, what makes Heaven truly Heaven is that it is a place where you dwell and that's what we long to be.

Father, I pray that you bless this time of study tonight.

We look at this historical narrative.

The father.

I pray that the Holy Spirit would

Help us deceive the spiritual applications that we can look at this evening and apply it to a heart and life.

I pray the Lord for the children downstairs saying that the young people Lord has ever been caught your word father, we pray that you would do work and their heart and life.

We ask all these things in Christ name.

Amen, I want to just two free few moments kind of recap of what we looked at last Wednesday night and chapter TNR last Wednesday night in chapter 10, we found Joshua and the nation of Israel.

Really coming to the rescue of the gibeonites who were being attacked by five other kings and five other kingdoms those five other kings were upset with the gibeonites for making a peace treaty with Israel, who was coming into Conquest, the land and a.

So they thought, well, it just take out the gibeonites.

And well, the gibeonites knew that they were getting ready to get attacked.

They went then to Joshua into the nation of Israel.

To receive help from them.

And the gibeonites did not deserve Deliverance especially after their deception that they did to Joshua and the nation of Israel.

But they had made a peace treaty with Joshua and Joshua made a covenant with him and promised that he would Aid in their time of need.

Well, that's exactly what happened is all the enemies come to attack the gibeonites, but Joshua uses this as an opportunity to conquer more land and the land of Canaan and to really bad.

All these teams at one time.

And, of course, God gave them a mighty mighty victory.

But as we talked about last last Wednesday night, gibeon is a type of a picture of a Christian.

I believe her that we like the gibeonites, we don't deserve Deliverance Dewey, we don't deserve Joshua or Jesus, which is the Greek form of the Old Testament named Joshua, Yeshua coming to our Aid and bringing us salvation.

But with price, we have his promise and Covenant of eternal life by putting our faith in him.

We also saw in chapter 10 that Joshua seeing that he did not have the time, the Daylights to destroy the enemy to really Have a Total Conquest of these five different Kings and kingdoms.

So Joshua asked the Lord to stop the Sun.

In the sky.

And asking the Lord to extend the day time, if it's getting ready to get dark going to lose daylight.

So we're going to have to then fall back and regroup for the next day and Joshua felt like hey I've got them right where I want them.

If we just Lord had a longer day, we could destroy them.

Well, got answers that prayer.

One of the most highest Miracles ever to be recorded in Scripture.

somebody asked will what Joshua a screws that the Bible is unreliable because the sun does not need to be asked to stand still because it always stands still.

But as we talked about last Wednesday night, Joshua was using the language of observation.

A speaking from the appearance of things from the earth and guess what it is still done today in the scientific Community, right?

You look at your Farmers Almanac hard.

You look at your app that tells you when the sun is going to rise when the sun is going to set and all those journals and almanacs and apps that tell you, those things, no one accuses them of scientific error.

Because we know that the sun does not rise, it is the earth that rotates.

And so the earth rotation for Joshua, and that day was slowed, one day making two days in one.

And then we also read in chapter 10, about the five Kings.

Who led the attack against the gibeonites, how they fled into a cave and they tried to hide themselves.

Well, Joshua found that they were hiding in these caves and he put a stone in front of those caves.

He held them captive, he can find them and then he brought them out later on and he humiliated them, he brought them out, met them to lie on the ground and then he was they were told some of

the army of Israel.

Israel were told to put their foot upon those Kings next, which was a mark of humiliation.

And here, here were Kings were once sitting on the throne.

Now they're standing or laying down in the dust of the Earth with the enemies foot upon their neck.

But I want you to see this, how Joshua here is a picture of Jesus and what he has done to sin and Satan our greatest enemy.

Again, Jesus is the Greek form of the Old Testament, word, Joshua are Yeshua, and so Joshua, here's a picture of Jesus.

Now go to Colossians chapter 2, Colossians chapter, number 2 and verse 13.

It says when you were dead in your transgressions and the uncircumcision of your flesh, he made you a live together with him.

Having forgiven us all our transgressions, having canceled out, the certificate of death consisting of decrees against us, which was hostile to us.

And he has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.

Verse 15 says, when he had disarmed the rulers and authorities, he made a public display of them having triumphed over them through him.

I believe that this picture here in John chapter Dar Joshua, chapter 10 is a picture, what Christ did on the cross of Calvary, when Christ was nailed upon the cross of Calvary and he was, he rose from the dead.

He was making really a public display of triumph over Satan himself, who was the ruler of this world and he was triumphing over sin.

and then we see that there were five kings that Joshua had to conquer, And actually he probably had them hung, he probably put them to death.

5 is a number of Grace in The Bible, the grace of God caused our King, the Lord Jesus Christ to hang on a tree for our Salvation.

So that's just a recap of chapter 10.

As chapter 11 Begins the drama and the the excitement of of of the battle continues.

Chapter 11 is really a bloody bloody chapter as we see first of all and verses 1 through 5, the alliance of the north, the alliance of the north Joshua 11:1 and it came to pass when Javen king of hazoor.

Heard these things that he sent to Joe Joe Bob King of Maiden to the king of Sharon, to the king of a shout-out and to the Kings who were from the north, in the mountains, in the plains of San Gennaro in the lowland and in the heights of door on the west, to the Canaanites, in the East and in the west, the MRI the hittite, the parasite, the jebusite, all those ice in the mountains, the headlights below, the Herman in the land of Misfit.

So they went out they and all their armies with them as many people as the sand that is on.

The seashore in multitude with very many horses and chariots.

And when all these teams have met together, they came and camped together at the water.

Maram to fight against Israel.

And so here, we find these last great Canaanite, Coalition rising up to oppose God's people.

It's led by the king Hazel and for some reason, he may have thought, hey, they just got through with a mighty battle with these.

The five kings were coming against the gibeonites.

Now's our time.

Now they might be tired.

Their soldiers may be in disarray now's the time for us to come together and to conquer Israel.

And they knew if we did not, if they did not conquer Israel, they would soon be conquered just like Jericho Nae on these five kingdom.

So this Coalition assembles from the hole and the Bible tells us knows first by versus the mountains of planes, the valley, all the way to the borders of Canaan.

That word Center off was the early form of the name of the Sea of Galilee.

And notice they're in the last part.

It says that they were as the sand of the seashore.

Which means there are a whole lot of folks in these kingdoms coming against Israel.

And this by far was the most bloody and most violent battle that is real faced.

As a matter of fact, the Ancients a historian Josephus record that there were three hundred thousand infantry and one hundred thousand Cavalry troops and twenty thousand.

Now listen, God's people.

I've been to this point had never faced an army like this.

I mean, they were outnumbered greatly militarily.

Speaking and Joshua had nothing to fear though.

Why?

Because for his weapon, was God himself.

So the kings that formed an alliance or type or picture of sins, that can rob a Christian of spiritual victory in their life.

Listen, if Christians are going to be victorious, they must realize that Victory involves conflict, and conquering, satanic Temptation, CNA and self.

Well, that takes us two verse six, and we see here, the Assurance of the Lord.

And so we see the vastness of their army.

But thankfully we see the sherance of the Lord, and for 6, it says, but the Lord said to Joshua do not be afraid.

Do not be afraid because of them.

For tomorrow about this time.

I will deliver all of them slain before Israel.

You shall hamstring their horses and burn the Chariots with fire.
