JOSHUA
JOSHUA
It is believed that the first five books of the Old Testament were inspired by GOD and written by Moses roughly 1400 years before the birth of JESUS CHRIST.
Upon the death of Moses, GOD appointed Joshua to lead Israel to the Promised Land and to keep the commandments and laws as he led them.
Joshua sent two spies into Jericho in the Promised Land. They were protected by the innkeeper, Rahab. They promised protection for her and her family. She is remembered to this day.
GOD stopped the flow of water in the Jordan and the priests carrying the ark and all the people crossed on dry land. A monument was erected to commemorate the crossing.
The LORD guided the Israelites to a miraculous defeat of Jericho. Then, due to not completely obeying, they lost the next battle. From then on, the land was conquered. At on point, the sun stood still until the battle was won. Then, the lands were divided among the tribes and cities of refuge were named.
The book ends with the people declaring that they will obey The LORD and, shortly after, Joshua dies.
