Discuss Joshua 10 Page 2

If in Old Testament the Sabbath was Saturday, and we worship on Sunday, are we going against God?

Make one wonder what part of the 4th day it is that folks refuse to believe? According to this there was no sun for the earth to be revolving around those first three days. This is why we read what we do in Joshua 10:12-14.

God is great. He will fight for his people,no matter what the situation is!

Joshua honoured the covenant He made with the Gibeon.10 vrs 6 and went down quickly to smote them.Also how GOD gathered five nations to be smote at a time

To Ahkeerah 's Joshua chapter 10 comment regarding the book ofJasher, it is not included in the Bible, but you can find and read them 5 books on internet. It is almost the same as the 5 first books of old testament covering from creation to Moses death.

I am curious to know what God people on this thread is referring to because the most high had one chosen group they were Hebrew Israelites.i have not read to date any other group of people he has chosen as his special people. Also as it stated in 10 13 "is not this written in the book of Jasher ". So who 's read the book of Jasher...???

In response to Charlie Frank 's comment, I am very glad you brought up this comment. When I first read Joshua, I was shocked by the violence of the book until I realized that God did give these tribes the opportunity to turn to Him before He destroyed them. The five tribes here sought to kill Joshua and his people because their neighbors, the gibeonites, turned to God. They attacked for spite of the Gibeonites, not in self defense. All of the tribes whom God slew through Joshua were those who had hardened their hearts against God. They committed the unpardonable sin of Pharaoh hardening their hearts against God, who otherwise would have been merciful. The violence in this book should not make us question God, but fear Him. They should also encourage us, helping us to know that if God is on our sides, nobody can hope to stand against us. God does not wish violence on His people, but He also promised to protect those who turned to Him against their forsworn enemies. And so with the people of Israel under Joshua God protects His chosen, who turn to Him in humility, recognizing their weaknesses and placing all at His feet.

JOSHUA WAS A CHOSEN VESSEL BY GOD FOR THE CONTINUATION OF HIS RESCUE BID FOR ISRAEL.JOSHUA WAS FEARLESS AND BOLD TO EXECUTE THE PLAN OF GOD.THE FIVE KINGS WERE EVIL IN THEIR DEEDS,HENCE THE PUNISHMENT OF GOD. THIS SHOULD TEACH NIGERIAN LEADERS,THAT GOD IS WATCHING THEM ALL. HE THAT HAS EARS,LET HIM HEAR.GOD BLESS YOU ALL.IJN.AMEN

An extrordinary event. According to astronomy thinking...because the sun is stable before the earth and the moon has an orbit around the earth,.it was the earth that stopped spinning long enough for Joshua to have victory. God stopped the earth from.rotating for a whole day.

This chapter really showed us that whenever God takes a decision he never goes back from it until he archives his desire.He promised to give the lands of those countries that was destroyed to the children of Israel and he did it.

it seems to me that joshua was threatening all these places i guess they had to band together to try and protect themselves from him why did he have to kill the five kings why couldn t he foregive them

This needs to be taught today in church So people will see what happens To people who stand in GOD way He left none alive no women no children all that breathed died GOD is the same today yesterday To not fear HIM is to be a fool

This is an extraordinary event that happened and that isn't even a worthy adjective but the Wonder of God to bring Victory for those who pay the price of obedience is real , as Joshua was a committed and obedient leader to the people of God!

We will always have enemies surrounding and monitoring our lives. But thanks be to the Ever Present Heavenly Father, who will always command His Ministers to step their feet on these enemies' necks; and say to me "Fear not, nor be dismayed, be strong and of good courage". v25 wow!

This chapter really inspires me, especially where the 5kings teamed up against the king of Gibeon. This shows that my enemy will always team up with those who do not wish me well, but my GOD will first give them all into my hands to defeat, thereby encouraging me, and then He will join the fight by throwing stones at them right from the House of Caves, Wrath and Anger (Bethhoron) to the Cultivated Ground (Azekah). The 5leaders (Kings) themselves will be drawn out of their hiding place (cave, and the Heavenly hosts will step on their necks, while I stand still in victory! I really get edified by this chapter.

joshua was indeed a leader. thank God for Jesus His words tells it all thats why i follow him and Gods word. my God is God. creator of heaven and earth and nothing could ever compare to his works and all He's done no one could do anything without him not even joshua but he was a great man.

God always fights our battles if we are doing will.

I love King James Bible Online.

Be strong and of good courage. I love Joshua 10, may the LORD deliver me and all his children in Jesus name, Amen.

Am so blessed with this verse. it means a lot in my life especially this time in my life. i pray that God is fighting all by battle the way he fought for the children of Israel in Jesus name. amen

Amen! this verse holds so much meaning at this point in my life.

@ Vic. I agree with you, Vic. I have heard the "Bloodline of Seth and Cain" explanation as well. That explanation actually came from the (false) book of Jasher. Now I do believe that the book of Jasher WAS real, but I am finding that it has been lost and the current book has at least 2 different versions and that is where you find things like the Seth and Cain bloodline stories (explaining the men of renown). Oddly enough, the Mormons seem to be all about this book. The Mormons are also the ones who say Michael is Jesus. Whether 1 Enoch is real or not, I do have to agree that the story about the fallen angels in 1 Enoch makes way more sense than any fundamentalist view regarding bloodlines of Seth and Cain. We can even take things a step further here and get rid of the idea of the fallen angels actually having intercourse with the daughters of men and attribute the Nephilim to technology. The reason why I believe this is because it would make sense that Lucifer want's to be like God and have his own kingdom to rule. I believe he does and has done this through technology. Manipulating genetics (E.G. DNA splicing, cloning, artificial insemination) probably existed even back then. When we do go back and read events from other civilizations, we clearly see technology existed. It is obvious those who brought technology to us wanted to see mankind get rid of the idea of God all together and worship them. So, we don't even need Enoch's writings to prove our own theory. We just have to look into history, read of these "men of renown"(Lord Pakal of the Maya, Ra of Egyptians, Zeus of Greece and so on) and see that these are not just myths, but stories of beings that actually existed and were obviously on this earth "...and even after that..." Gen 6:4. I believe if man wanted to turn their back on God, they would have just turned their back. I do not believe that man would have just decided to turn their back on God and then start fabricating new gods without any type of influence. That just owuld not make sense. What does make sense is the idea of fallen angels showing up and convincing man that they are the ones to truly be worshipped because of all of the awesome things they can do. This is why I truly believe the fallen angels are going to use this whole alien thing as part of the deception with the anti-christ and the false prophet. Only something so crazy would decieve people by the millions. The same things that happened in the days of Enoch are going to probably be very similar to what is going to happen in the future. I am just glad the Jesus has died for our sins, is going to return for us and rid the world of these abominations of the one true God; our father.

Biblical references to the book of Jasher can be found in Joshua 10:13 and 2nd Samuel 1:18-19.

It is believed this book has never really been found. The book seemed to have popped, out of nowhere, sometime in the last 800 years or so. Nobody has been able to authenticate it.

joshua was a great man of valour he trusted in God in obedience to carry out God's will, this tell me we must listen to the voice of God,be obedient and God will see us through every situation and make us come out victorious.
