JOSHUA 12-13:
As
we heard yesterday, God fought for Israel, even causing the sun and
moon to stand still. Basically, the main central body of land was
conquered in only two campaigns. It is important to remember that
the total destruction of the people groups listed was commanded by
God because of their disgusting pagan and idolatrous practices.
Joshua 10:40 “… This was what the Lord God of Israel had
commanded.” See also 11:20.
PSALM 72:
It
is clear that this psalm, written by King Solomon— or more likely
written about King Solomon, goes beyond Solomon, giving adoration
to the King of Kings.
ACTS 23a:
Paul
gave his defense from the top of the stairway leading to the
military headquarters. In spite of the miracles in his story, the
mob was not impressed. It was the word ‘Gentiles’ that caused the
final violent reaction.
