The book of Joshua opens with God commissioning Joshua to take over from mosses to lead the children of Israel to the land that floweth with milk and honey, this great man of valour was a army commander and warrior, he was with Moses in the wondering of the children of Israel, he was one of the spies that went to Canaan forty years prior to this great even.

This is the man God charge to take on the task of conquering Canaan his name means Jehovah-saved

Joshua had sent two men to spy out the land not 12 as Moses before, this was a divine plan of the lord for they have been three separate occasion where spies were sent to Canaan and this as only been the one and only one instance where it was successful

‘’ our citizenship is in heaven.

And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ,’’

‘’ For ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;’’
