The Kingdom of Messiah & Eternity (Level 2 | 49)

We delve into a critical moment in Israel's history as described in Joshua 22. After seven years of conquest, Israel finally experiences rest, but a new conflict arises when the eastern tribes build an altar near the Jordan River. Misunderstandings escalate to the brink of civil war as the western tribes prepare for battle, believing the altar breaches God's commands. A delegation led by Phinehas confronts the eastern tribes, only to learn that the altar is meant as a witness to future generations, not for sacrifices. Through dialogue and reason, the conflict is resolved, and unity is restored.Support the showRead along with us in the Bible Brief App!

We delve into the initial conquest of Canaan led by Joshua and the Israelites. We explore the miraculous crossing of the Jordan River, the swift fall of Jericho, and the strategic victories at Ai and in southern Canaan. With Yahweh's divine intervention, including hailstones and an extended day, the Israelites vanquish their enemies, establishing control over the southern territories. The army then shifts to the northern campaign, where Israel faces a massive alliance of Canaanite forces. Despite the overwhelming odds, Joshua leads the Israelites to victory, fulfilling God's commands and demonstrating unwavering faith by destroying captured tools of war. By the end of the campaign, Israel largely controls the Promised Land, marking the beginning of the fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham and providing a period of rest from war. Support the showRead along with us in the Bible Brief App!

We delve into the extraordinary events surrounding the day the sun stood still, as described in Joshua Chapter 10. Joshua and the Israelites respond to an urgent plea from Gibeon, marching 20 miles overnight to confront an alliance of five Amorite kings. By God’s command, Joshua leads his men to an astounding victory, aided by divine intervention in the form of large hailstones. In a miraculous turn, Joshua prays for the sun and moon to stand still, resulting in an extended day that ensures a complete triumph over their enemies. The captured Amorite kings are executed, serving as a warning to Israel's foes.Support the showRead along with us in the Bible Brief App!

We delve into the story of deception involving the Gibeonites. As Israel continues its conquest of Canaan, they encounter the Gibeonites, who, fearing for their lives, deceive Joshua and the leaders into making a peace treaty. This agreement violated God's command not to make covenants with the inhabitants of Canaan. Despite realizing the deception, Joshua honors the treaty due to their oath to Yahweh, making the Gibeonites perpetual laborers for Israel. Support the showRead along with us in the Bible Brief App!

We explore the dramatic events surrounding the Battle of Ai, a pivotal moment in Israel's conquest of Canaan. Following their miraculous victory at Jericho, the Israelites face a crushing defeat at Ai due to an Israelite’s secret sin. We explore the consequences of disobedience, as the man’s transgression leads to the death of 36 soldiers and ultimately his own execution along with his family. Later, through Joshua's leadership and God's guidance, Israel purges the sin from their midst and successfully captures Ai using a strategic ambush. Support the showRead along with us in the Bible Brief App!

We delve into the story of Jericho, focusing on Rahab, a Canaanite prostitute who displayed extraordinary faith in Yahweh. Rahab hid two Israelite spies, risking her life to ensure their safety. Her actions were driven by her belief in the power of Yahweh, having heard of His mighty acts, including the parting of the Red Sea. We explore Joshua’s unconventional battle instructions from God, which led to the miraculous fall of Jericho’s walls. Despite the severe judgment on Jericho, God's mercy was shown to Rahab and her family due to her faith and actions.Support the showRead along with us in the Bible Brief App!

We explore the pivotal moment when the Israelites, led by Joshua, cross the Jordan River into the Promised Land. Through divine intervention, God halts the river’s flow, allowing the Israelites to cross on dry ground, mirroring the miraculous Red Sea crossing. This event not only demonstrates God's continuous support but also instills fear in the surrounding nations. We delve into the significance of the twelve-stone memorial set up to commemorate this miracle, and the acts of obedience that followed, including circumcision and the celebration of Passover. These acts marked a new beginning for the Israelites and reinforced their identity as God's chosen people.Support the showRead along with us in the Bible Brief App!
