WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.080 The Old Testament reading is Joshua 5, 13 to 6, 11. 00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:41.200 And Joshua did so. 00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:29.980 Thus you shall do for six days. 00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:34.900 So Joshua the son of Nun called the priests and said to them, 00:01:35.900 --> 00:01:41.159 Take up the Ark of the Covenant and let seven priests bear seven trumpets of ram's horns before the Ark of the Lord. 00:01:41.439 --> 00:01:48.340 And he said to the people, Go forward, march around the city, and let the armed men pass on before the Ark of the Lord. 00:01:48.900 --> 00:01:55.840 And just as Joshua had commanded the people, the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of ram's horns before the Lord went forward, 00:01:55.840 --> 00:02:00.560 blowing the trumpets with the Ark of the Covenant of the Lord following them. 00:02:01.240 --> 00:02:05.180 The armed men were walking before the priests who were blowing the trumpets, 00:02:05.460 --> 00:02:10.860 and the rear guard was walking after the Ark while the trumpets blew continually. 00:02:11.719 --> 00:02:13.640 But Joshua commanded the people, 00:02:13.639 --> 00:02:16.319 You shall not shout or make your voice heard. 00:02:16.699 --> 00:02:21.039 Neither shall any word go out from your mouth until the day I tell you to shout. 00:02:21.559 --> 00:02:22.839 Then you shall shout. 00:02:23.799 --> 00:02:28.139 So he caused the Ark of the Lord to circle the city, going about it once. 00:02:28.939 --> 00:02:32.019 And they came into the camp and spent the night in the camp. 00:02:32.020 --> 00:02:41.520 Late spring 2018, I had the opportunity to visit a friend who was in Jerusalem. 00:02:41.700 --> 00:02:45.960 He was a Canadian missionary trying to get back onto the mission field. 00:02:47.379 --> 00:02:54.520 It was, I think, the first time I was really away from my family since having children. 00:02:54.719 --> 00:02:59.120 So it felt like a throwback to Bachelor Daniel a little bit. 00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:02.640 Anyways, we were having a great time. 00:03:02.759 --> 00:03:04.900 We had a car. 00:03:05.060 --> 00:03:06.520 We drove up to the Galilee. 00:03:06.659 --> 00:03:07.740 We stopped in Awadi. 00:03:07.939 --> 00:03:10.020 It's like a desert oasis. 00:03:10.599 --> 00:03:12.680 And we swam in this beautiful water. 00:03:13.539 --> 00:03:15.740 We ate on the Sea of Galilee. 00:03:16.180 --> 00:03:20.980 And we drove into the old city visiting a friend of his and a friend of mine. 00:03:21.400 --> 00:03:23.000 It was a really wonderful time. 00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:31.400 So where he was staying was just outside of Jerusalem in Judea or what is also called the West Bank. 00:03:32.419 --> 00:03:41.539 And we could, to get into Jerusalem proper, take a giant roundabout way to avoid some contested areas. 00:03:42.300 --> 00:03:43.479 Or we could drive through them. 00:03:43.539 --> 00:03:46.939 Now, my friend, he's 10 years older than me. 00:03:47.039 --> 00:03:48.159 He has five boys. 00:03:48.539 --> 00:03:49.259 He is a cowboy. 00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:51.039 He doesn't give a rip. 00:03:51.039 --> 00:03:54.379 So he's just like, we're obviously driving straight through. 00:03:55.799 --> 00:03:57.919 You know, it's not super dangerous. 00:03:58.219 --> 00:03:59.620 But if you can avoid it, avoid it. 00:03:59.799 --> 00:04:00.079 Okay? 00:04:00.180 --> 00:04:02.060 There's different license plate colors. 00:04:03.359 --> 00:04:06.139 A yellow license plate, the Israeli license plates. 00:04:07.859 --> 00:04:09.780 They're not exactly welcomed in that area. 00:04:09.879 --> 00:04:11.280 There's a bunch of white license plates. 00:04:11.399 --> 00:04:14.019 That's the Palestinian Authority license plates. 00:04:14.340 --> 00:04:15.219 Why am I telling this story? 00:04:15.219 --> 00:04:19.160 Every day when we drove through the contested area, we drove by Jericho. 00:04:19.899 --> 00:04:21.040 It was the old city. 00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:24.319 One of the oldest cities in the entire history of the world. 00:04:24.399 --> 00:04:25.439 We drove by it every day. 00:04:26.319 --> 00:04:33.060 And every day, this giant, maybe 20, 25 foot sign, massive, right at the entrance of the city. 00:04:33.519 --> 00:04:34.279 It read this. 00:04:34.279 --> 00:04:39.939 This road leads to Area A under the Palestinian Authority. 00:04:40.839 --> 00:04:46.519 The entrance for Israeli citizens is forbidden, dangerous to your lives, and is against the Israeli law. 00:04:46.599 --> 00:04:49.259 And it was written in Hebrew, Arabic, and English. 00:04:50.119 --> 00:04:51.039 In bright red. 00:04:51.839 --> 00:04:52.439 Unmistakable. 00:04:53.279 --> 00:04:55.319 Do not enter into Jericho. 00:04:56.159 --> 00:04:58.319 Every single time we would drive by it. 00:04:58.379 --> 00:05:00.420 And I was, the sign was a bit of a shock. 00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:05.680 I mean, imagine if you're driving just before you hit the Champlain Bridge. 00:05:06.420 --> 00:05:08.139 Giant 30 foot sign. 00:05:08.540 --> 00:05:10.120 Do not enter into Quebec. 00:05:10.899 --> 00:05:11.800 It is dangerous. 00:05:12.219 --> 00:05:13.180 You might die. 00:05:13.620 --> 00:05:14.360 Stuff like this. 00:05:14.379 --> 00:05:16.879 Or say, like, you're on the way to Carleton Place. 00:05:17.019 --> 00:05:20.139 You're on Highway 7, and just as the highway slows down, 00:05:20.639 --> 00:05:22.379 do not enter Carleton Place. 00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:24.600 These people will kill you. 00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:25.500 Or something like that. 00:05:25.560 --> 00:05:27.000 Like, it would be shocking to see. 00:05:28.260 --> 00:05:30.640 And it was shocking to me to see that. 00:05:30.740 --> 00:05:32.720 I mean, Canada is this incredible place. 00:05:33.140 --> 00:05:36.160 It's also a very insulated place from a lot of danger, right? 00:05:37.800 --> 00:05:41.660 So I thought about the sign a lot as I studied Joshua 6 this week, 00:05:41.700 --> 00:05:43.260 because this is the story of Jericho. 00:05:44.200 --> 00:05:48.120 If you have been in church for any length of time as a child, 00:05:48.200 --> 00:05:49.720 you would have come across this story. 00:05:50.260 --> 00:05:53.660 It's a kid's ministry favorite. 00:05:53.660 --> 00:05:56.580 It's not exactly PG, though. 00:05:57.760 --> 00:06:01.880 So I drove by this giant sign in this ancient city, 00:06:02.260 --> 00:06:06.800 and I considered how 3,500 years prior to us driving, 00:06:07.820 --> 00:06:11.180 Joshua and the nation of Israel began their conquest there. 00:06:11.180 --> 00:06:14.079 This was their Juneau beach, so to speak. 00:06:14.480 --> 00:06:19.259 This was the first conquest into this foreign land that was really their land, 00:06:19.500 --> 00:06:21.540 given by God as a gift, 00:06:22.139 --> 00:06:25.780 and they were about to take on the Canaanite people. 00:06:25.779 --> 00:06:28.359 So I mentioned it's not exactly a PG story. 00:06:29.859 --> 00:06:33.379 It's a tough one, actually, I think, for our Canadian sensibilities. 00:06:33.539 --> 00:06:40.559 Again, we're an insulated country from a lot of the crazy, difficult, dark things in this world. 00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:42.839 Although Canada, of course, is not immune. 00:06:43.259 --> 00:06:48.139 We just like to keep it a foot or two beneath the surface so we don't see it. 00:06:48.920 --> 00:06:51.740 But it nevertheless will disturb our Canadian sensibilities 00:06:51.740 --> 00:06:57.220 precisely because of a specific command God will give to the Israelites. 00:06:57.220 --> 00:07:04.400 And this command that he gives has the potential to call into question his goodness, 00:07:05.140 --> 00:07:09.340 and more importantly, his trustworthiness. 00:07:10.440 --> 00:07:12.360 So, longer intro. 00:07:13.200 --> 00:07:14.520 Have grace with me. 00:07:14.660 --> 00:07:20.060 We'll run through not every chapter, or every verse, rather, but a good chunk of it. 00:07:20.180 --> 00:07:25.640 But turn with me to Joshua chapter 5 on page 24. 00:07:25.639 --> 00:07:30.120 And we're going to take a look at this story, 00:07:30.259 --> 00:07:32.279 this familiar story for the majority of us, 00:07:32.379 --> 00:07:37.060 and actually see that it is going to communicate something to us 00:07:37.060 --> 00:07:41.560 about the kindness, the justice, and the beauty of God. 00:07:42.779 --> 00:07:45.479 Okay, step one, point one. 00:07:45.899 --> 00:07:49.259 The kindness of the Lord in his self-revelation. 00:07:50.279 --> 00:07:52.959 So, just to catch everybody up on the narrative, 00:07:52.959 --> 00:07:55.620 Israel crosses the Jordan miraculously. 00:07:55.919 --> 00:07:56.500 Read about it. 00:07:56.899 --> 00:07:58.500 They renew the covenant with the Lord. 00:07:58.699 --> 00:07:59.459 Read about it. 00:08:00.039 --> 00:08:03.879 And now they are posed to take on the conquest of the land. 00:08:03.979 --> 00:08:05.039 And Joshua, he looks up. 00:08:05.099 --> 00:08:05.699 He's the commander. 00:08:06.199 --> 00:08:07.039 He's been affirmed. 00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:08.879 He is the successor of Moses. 00:08:09.419 --> 00:08:11.259 He is the man in Israel. 00:08:11.919 --> 00:08:16.240 And he looks up, and he sees this warrior with a drawn sword in his hand. 00:08:16.240 --> 00:08:18.920 And we are not told about the appearance of the warrior, 00:08:19.060 --> 00:08:23.160 but the implication seems to be that this guy is something else. 00:08:23.780 --> 00:08:23.960 Okay? 00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:25.340 Is he tall? 00:08:25.540 --> 00:08:26.439 Is he broad? 00:08:26.660 --> 00:08:27.280 Is he glowing? 00:08:27.480 --> 00:08:29.699 We're not sure, but there's something about this warrior 00:08:29.699 --> 00:08:32.019 that draws Joshua towards him. 00:08:32.740 --> 00:08:34.700 And he goes over to see, 00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:36.779 is this guy for us or is he against us? 00:08:36.840 --> 00:08:38.940 Is he a friend or is he a foe? 00:08:39.879 --> 00:08:40.639 Verse 13. 00:08:40.639 --> 00:08:44.899 When Joshua was by Jericho, he lifted up his eyes and looked, 00:08:44.980 --> 00:08:49.159 and behold, a man was standing before him with his drawn sword in his hand. 00:08:49.919 --> 00:08:51.500 And Joshua went to him and said to him, 00:08:51.600 --> 00:08:54.559 Are you for us or for our adversaries? 00:08:54.620 --> 00:08:57.580 A legit question when you're going to go into war 00:08:57.580 --> 00:08:59.360 with a guy in front of you with a drawn sword. 00:08:59.799 --> 00:08:59.960 Okay? 00:09:00.139 --> 00:09:01.100 Good question to ask. 00:09:01.699 --> 00:09:02.360 The response. 00:09:02.840 --> 00:09:03.159 No. 00:09:04.120 --> 00:09:05.220 Weird response. 00:09:05.679 --> 00:09:05.960 No. 00:09:08.120 --> 00:09:09.539 Option A or option B? 00:09:09.879 --> 00:09:10.620 Option C. 00:09:10.960 --> 00:09:11.720 He just says no. 00:09:12.879 --> 00:09:14.500 It may seem like a bit of a non-answer. 00:09:14.960 --> 00:09:20.000 But let's continue on and see the follow-up to that reply. 00:09:20.759 --> 00:09:21.860 Or to that response, rather. 00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:25.240 Verse 14. 00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:29.899 No, but I am the commander of the army of the Lord. 00:09:30.600 --> 00:09:32.699 He's using the covenant name of the Lord here. 00:09:33.379 --> 00:09:34.759 Now I have come. 00:09:35.679 --> 00:09:39.500 So we see that this isn't a mere human warrior. 00:09:39.500 --> 00:09:42.840 This is some kind of heavenly or angelic warrior. 00:09:43.139 --> 00:09:46.440 And this warrior is tasked with doing the Lord's will. 00:09:46.700 --> 00:09:47.700 Not Joshua's will. 00:09:48.259 --> 00:09:49.379 Not the Canaanites' will. 00:09:49.779 --> 00:09:51.779 But the Lord's will above all. 00:09:52.639 --> 00:09:54.740 And what is implied here is that Joshua, 00:09:54.740 --> 00:09:56.940 he's actually asking the wrong question. 00:09:57.480 --> 00:10:00.299 It's not, are you for us or against us? 00:10:00.399 --> 00:10:04.899 The real question that Joshua should be asking is, 00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:06.899 am I on the Lord's side? 00:10:07.480 --> 00:10:09.419 Am I following the Lord? 00:10:09.539 --> 00:10:12.799 Am I doing God's will, God's way? 00:10:12.799 --> 00:10:15.939 Am I on the Lord's side? 00:10:16.779 --> 00:10:18.879 You know, it's a very important question for us to consider. 00:10:19.620 --> 00:10:20.899 Are we on the Lord's side? 00:10:21.000 --> 00:10:22.179 I mean, it's remarkable. 00:10:22.399 --> 00:10:23.399 I'm not going to get into it. 00:10:23.819 --> 00:10:30.099 But there is something to be said about somebody attempting to follow God's way 00:10:30.099 --> 00:10:32.159 without using God's strategy. 00:10:32.159 --> 00:10:36.620 Or not consulting the Lord in prayer, searching his word. 00:10:36.740 --> 00:10:40.959 We can think and deceive ourselves into thinking we are doing God's will 00:10:40.959 --> 00:10:43.579 without it being God's way. 00:10:43.879 --> 00:10:45.799 And this is an important thing for us to consider. 00:10:47.500 --> 00:10:49.079 Are you asking the question, 00:10:49.579 --> 00:10:51.500 is God for me? 00:10:51.659 --> 00:10:53.939 Or are you asking the question, am I for God? 00:10:55.339 --> 00:10:56.500 Totally different question. 00:10:56.620 --> 00:10:57.279 Changes everything. 00:10:57.360 --> 00:10:57.939 It really does. 00:10:57.940 --> 00:11:05.960 I think, Christian or not, this is a question that everybody wrestles with. 00:11:07.340 --> 00:11:14.000 Christian or not, we want God or the universe or a higher power or just good vibes 00:11:14.000 --> 00:11:17.680 to be on our side, to be doing what we want, our way. 00:11:18.960 --> 00:11:26.160 We fashion ourselves as the sun with everything else as a planet rotating around us. 00:11:26.159 --> 00:11:31.120 But this question helps us to have a proper posture for life. 00:11:31.719 --> 00:11:34.039 In fact, God and God alone is the sun. 00:11:35.179 --> 00:11:37.579 And we are planets. 00:11:37.839 --> 00:11:39.480 I mean, we are whatever. 00:11:40.459 --> 00:11:43.959 But we are rotating around him. 00:11:44.539 --> 00:11:49.539 The center of our galaxy, of our universe, is him, not us. 00:11:50.220 --> 00:11:52.100 Therefore, the question has to be, friends, 00:11:52.899 --> 00:11:53.959 am I on the Lord's side? 00:11:53.959 --> 00:11:55.659 Ask yourself that question if you can. 00:11:56.159 --> 00:11:59.659 This morning, this evening, when you wake up every day. 00:12:00.039 --> 00:12:01.360 Am I doing your will? 00:12:01.439 --> 00:12:02.740 Am I following your ways? 00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:04.759 Lord, I want to please you with my life. 00:12:05.439 --> 00:12:06.219 I am your servant. 00:12:07.740 --> 00:12:10.519 You see, what ends up happening, if we ask this question, 00:12:10.620 --> 00:12:15.059 is we cease to be the center of the universe, 00:12:15.179 --> 00:12:21.439 which what we'll see is really being an enemy with the Lord, right? 00:12:21.440 --> 00:12:23.380 It is swapping a place with the Lord. 00:12:24.160 --> 00:12:26.780 God isn't the king of all things. 00:12:26.780 --> 00:12:30.880 The ruler, the sovereign over the created universe, I am. 00:12:31.220 --> 00:12:33.700 Puts us in a bit of an adversarial position with God. 00:12:34.460 --> 00:12:37.060 But when we ask that question, it changes. 00:12:37.320 --> 00:12:40.500 It shifts so that we no longer become enemies, 00:12:40.500 --> 00:12:42.580 but we become worshipers of the Lord. 00:12:42.580 --> 00:12:44.539 And we see this in the next section, 00:12:44.919 --> 00:12:51.100 because look at how Joshua responds to the response of the commander of the Lord's army. 00:12:52.100 --> 00:12:53.019 Verse 14. 00:12:53.019 --> 00:12:58.279 And Joshua fell on his face to the earth and worshiped and said to him, 00:12:59.000 --> 00:13:01.460 What does my Lord say to his servant? 00:13:02.539 --> 00:13:03.240 Verse 15. 00:13:03.919 --> 00:13:06.100 And the commander of the Lord's army said to Joshua, 00:13:06.240 --> 00:13:07.639 Take off your sandals from your feet, 00:13:08.220 --> 00:13:10.199 for the place where you are standing is holy. 00:13:10.879 --> 00:13:12.139 And Joshua did so. 00:13:13.000 --> 00:13:15.860 See how that one question flipped around. 00:13:16.039 --> 00:13:19.799 It makes Joshua have a completely different posture. 00:13:19.799 --> 00:13:23.059 He is not preparing in the same way for war. 00:13:23.179 --> 00:13:26.459 Instead, he is worshiping the Lord God, 00:13:26.539 --> 00:13:29.339 which is interesting because now we are starting to get a clue 00:13:29.339 --> 00:13:33.819 into the real identity of this commander of the Lord's army. 00:13:34.399 --> 00:13:36.179 He is not some angelic person. 00:13:37.079 --> 00:13:39.559 He is, it would seem, the Lord himself. 00:13:41.039 --> 00:13:43.559 So Joshua falls prostrate in worship. 00:13:44.639 --> 00:13:48.479 And he's worshiping the one true God. 00:13:48.480 --> 00:13:52.379 And we know this also, I'll just mention this really quickly. 00:13:52.480 --> 00:13:54.940 We know this because there's other parts of the Bible 00:13:54.940 --> 00:13:59.139 where an angelic being shows up and people fall down. 00:13:59.639 --> 00:14:01.539 And the angel's like, no, no, no, no. 00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:02.920 We don't worship angels here. 00:14:03.039 --> 00:14:03.440 Stand up. 00:14:03.500 --> 00:14:04.460 I am a servant of the Lord. 00:14:05.180 --> 00:14:06.340 But there's none of that. 00:14:06.659 --> 00:14:08.580 It is the right thing what Joshua is doing. 00:14:08.940 --> 00:14:11.039 And he is not encouraged to change. 00:14:11.300 --> 00:14:13.980 In addition to him taking off his sandals 00:14:13.980 --> 00:14:17.240 because truly he's in the presence of the Lord. 00:14:17.560 --> 00:14:22.560 And what we're seeing here is God revealing himself to Joshua. 00:14:22.800 --> 00:14:24.180 It's an act of kindness. 00:14:25.139 --> 00:14:27.879 Okay, when I say kindness, I'm not meaning niceness. 00:14:28.399 --> 00:14:29.240 God can be nice. 00:14:30.100 --> 00:14:31.259 God can also not be nice. 00:14:31.519 --> 00:14:32.659 But this is kindness. 00:14:32.899 --> 00:14:33.860 This is grace. 00:14:33.860 --> 00:14:41.960 This is a deep, undeserved, I mean grace for lack of a better term, 00:14:42.259 --> 00:14:46.639 being extended to this man who needs it in this moment. 00:14:47.840 --> 00:14:50.539 He's revealing himself to him. 00:14:52.300 --> 00:14:54.279 It's a really actually beautiful thing. 00:14:55.840 --> 00:14:57.960 It is further likened to the Lord. 00:14:58.539 --> 00:15:02.120 Again, if you're not quite convinced that this commander of the Lord's army 00:15:02.120 --> 00:15:03.480 is in fact the Lord himself. 00:15:04.019 --> 00:15:05.879 But if we continue on verse 2, 00:15:06.379 --> 00:15:09.399 try to remove verse 1 for the moment 00:15:09.399 --> 00:15:13.799 and read the end of chapter 5 into chapter 6, verse 2. 00:15:14.259 --> 00:15:17.080 And then we see the Lord himself is speaking to Joshua. 00:15:17.220 --> 00:15:18.919 See, I have given Jericho into your hand 00:15:18.919 --> 00:15:21.500 with the king and the mighty men of valor. 00:15:22.220 --> 00:15:24.679 Again, consider how reassuring this would be. 00:15:24.940 --> 00:15:27.659 Let's just take a pause, a step back, 00:15:27.659 --> 00:15:33.059 and consider that Israel is a group of former slaves 00:15:33.059 --> 00:15:38.059 that had experienced decades of nomadic wanderings. 00:15:38.860 --> 00:15:39.059 Okay? 00:15:39.179 --> 00:15:41.299 They get into the promised land, 00:15:41.480 --> 00:15:45.480 not because of some incredible engineering feat, 00:15:45.939 --> 00:15:48.559 but because God does a miracle stopping up the Jordan. 00:15:48.679 --> 00:15:49.360 They go through, 00:15:49.980 --> 00:15:54.500 and now they see a fortified city that is impregnable. 00:15:54.500 --> 00:15:54.940 Okay? 00:15:55.740 --> 00:15:58.379 There's no ladders that they can construct. 00:15:58.480 --> 00:16:01.840 They don't know how to fight siege warfare. 00:16:02.399 --> 00:16:04.519 They have no idea how to get in here. 00:16:04.679 --> 00:16:05.740 And then all of a sudden, 00:16:06.320 --> 00:16:08.299 in addition to all this, by the way, 00:16:08.440 --> 00:16:11.419 the Lord has commanded them to take the city. 00:16:12.919 --> 00:16:15.419 And then the Lord himself shows up 00:16:15.419 --> 00:16:17.919 and reveals himself to Joshua, 00:16:18.500 --> 00:16:19.480 and by extension, 00:16:20.000 --> 00:16:21.779 the rest of Israel through Joshua. 00:16:21.779 --> 00:16:25.100 And he says that the victory's already won. 00:16:25.779 --> 00:16:26.819 The victory's already won. 00:16:27.319 --> 00:16:31.419 This near impossible task ahead of you, 00:16:32.139 --> 00:16:35.000 verse one, that's the purpose of verse one, by the way. 00:16:35.439 --> 00:16:38.199 It's to kind of state that Jericho 00:16:38.199 --> 00:16:41.679 is an impossible city to conquer for this people. 00:16:42.759 --> 00:16:44.579 But the victory's already won. 00:16:45.039 --> 00:16:46.039 I have shown up. 00:16:46.039 --> 00:16:51.120 God is displaying his kindness to his people 00:16:51.120 --> 00:16:52.779 by revealing himself to them. 00:16:54.819 --> 00:16:57.939 It's a remarkable thing for the Israelites to experience 00:16:57.939 --> 00:17:01.179 on the eve of their first battle, is it not? 00:17:02.019 --> 00:17:04.139 And not only does God reassure them 00:17:04.139 --> 00:17:05.319 that the victory's already won, 00:17:05.399 --> 00:17:08.599 but he gives them the strategy for that victory. 00:17:09.240 --> 00:17:10.339 And here's what he says. 00:17:10.399 --> 00:17:11.420 He says, listen, 00:17:11.420 --> 00:17:14.200 this is how you build ladders. 00:17:15.039 --> 00:17:19.160 This is how you kind of get some flaming arrows to lay. 00:17:20.500 --> 00:17:22.120 No, none of that, okay, right? 00:17:22.200 --> 00:17:23.779 Like, he doesn't give them military strategy. 00:17:24.220 --> 00:17:25.140 He says, listen, 00:17:25.560 --> 00:17:28.400 get the priests, get the ark, 00:17:29.400 --> 00:17:31.580 get some trumpet shofars. 00:17:32.060 --> 00:17:33.340 This is the ram's horn. 00:17:34.120 --> 00:17:35.500 And for seven days, 00:17:35.560 --> 00:17:37.180 you're going to walk around the city once 00:17:37.180 --> 00:17:40.480 and blow the trumpet and not say anything. 00:17:40.480 --> 00:17:42.299 And you're going to do that for six times. 00:17:42.400 --> 00:17:43.220 And on the seventh day, 00:17:43.720 --> 00:17:45.559 you're going to go around seven times, 00:17:46.200 --> 00:17:46.839 blow the trumpet, 00:17:47.279 --> 00:17:48.279 and then shout. 00:17:48.500 --> 00:17:49.700 And then the walls will fall down. 00:17:50.599 --> 00:17:54.299 It's not a military strategy at all. 00:17:54.880 --> 00:17:57.440 It is so outlandish to consider 00:17:57.440 --> 00:18:02.039 unless we consider that God is doing a miracle 00:18:02.039 --> 00:18:05.440 to prove that he is fighting for his people 00:18:05.440 --> 00:18:07.819 and that ultimately the victory is his. 00:18:07.819 --> 00:18:12.439 And that the glory for any conquering of Canaan 00:18:12.439 --> 00:18:14.259 is his in his alone. 00:18:15.740 --> 00:18:18.659 I mean, this is a ridiculous thing 00:18:18.659 --> 00:18:20.119 to ask the Israelites to do. 00:18:20.460 --> 00:18:22.500 And yet that is the strategy of the Lord. 00:18:25.279 --> 00:18:28.659 Seven days, seven priests, seven trumpets, 00:18:29.179 --> 00:18:31.960 and then on the seventh day, circle seven times. 00:18:31.960 --> 00:18:34.000 Why all the sevens? 00:18:34.600 --> 00:18:35.759 It's a good question to ask. 00:18:35.860 --> 00:18:37.000 Maybe you're asking, maybe not. 00:18:37.440 --> 00:18:38.720 Why all the sevens? 00:18:39.500 --> 00:18:41.460 Whenever you're reading a story 00:18:41.460 --> 00:18:43.140 and there's repetition like this 00:18:43.140 --> 00:18:43.880 or there's some kind of, 00:18:44.079 --> 00:18:44.500 you might think, 00:18:44.539 --> 00:18:45.420 is there some symbolism? 00:18:46.079 --> 00:18:47.220 On one hand, be careful 00:18:47.220 --> 00:18:48.759 because people can find symbolism 00:18:48.759 --> 00:18:50.079 in all sorts of different things. 00:18:51.100 --> 00:18:53.200 And they can be wrong, myself included. 00:18:53.779 --> 00:18:56.039 But sometimes symbolism is actually very important. 00:18:56.680 --> 00:18:58.180 It draws our attention to something 00:18:58.180 --> 00:19:00.120 that's not explicit, 00:19:00.320 --> 00:19:01.940 but so wonderful and beautiful. 00:19:02.100 --> 00:19:04.759 And seven here is very symbolic 00:19:04.759 --> 00:19:06.600 and is put in the story, 00:19:07.259 --> 00:19:08.960 not haphazardly, 00:19:09.100 --> 00:19:10.620 but very importantly, 00:19:11.000 --> 00:19:12.660 the Lord is drawing our attention to something. 00:19:13.539 --> 00:19:15.720 Not to get into it, deep into the weeds, 00:19:15.820 --> 00:19:17.120 but seven, you think, 00:19:17.220 --> 00:19:18.019 on the seventh day, 00:19:18.100 --> 00:19:19.759 God rested from his creation. 00:19:19.759 --> 00:19:25.700 On the, every, every 49 years, 00:19:25.799 --> 00:19:27.119 well, really it's the 50th year, 00:19:27.379 --> 00:19:29.079 but seven times seven, 00:19:29.200 --> 00:19:32.119 there's a year of Jubilee in the Bible. 00:19:32.379 --> 00:19:36.319 Seven is this idea of completeness or wholeness, 00:19:36.420 --> 00:19:37.599 but also of rest. 00:19:38.400 --> 00:19:39.460 And I think what's happening here 00:19:39.460 --> 00:19:40.180 is God is saying, 00:19:40.279 --> 00:19:43.160 listen, seven with seven with seven, 00:19:43.279 --> 00:19:44.279 and then on the seventh day, 00:19:44.379 --> 00:19:45.480 seven times around, 00:19:45.879 --> 00:19:48.119 he's saying this victory will be complete, 00:19:48.119 --> 00:19:49.479 will be whole, 00:19:50.199 --> 00:19:52.059 it will be finished, 00:19:53.079 --> 00:19:54.559 and by the way, 00:19:54.759 --> 00:19:56.399 I will do the fighting, 00:19:56.519 --> 00:19:57.339 you will rest in me. 00:19:58.399 --> 00:19:59.639 And it's a beautiful picture. 00:19:59.899 --> 00:20:01.779 If that truly is the purpose 00:20:01.779 --> 00:20:03.179 of incorporating the sevens, 00:20:03.399 --> 00:20:05.279 for us to read this, 00:20:05.500 --> 00:20:06.559 this is all the Lord, 00:20:07.500 --> 00:20:09.759 and none of Israel, okay? 00:20:10.879 --> 00:20:13.339 God in his kindness is showing up 00:20:13.339 --> 00:20:16.579 to this former slave, 00:20:17.079 --> 00:20:18.399 former nomadic, 00:20:18.740 --> 00:20:20.039 kind of semi-broken, 00:20:20.279 --> 00:20:21.439 semi-put-together people, 00:20:21.539 --> 00:20:22.279 and he is saying, 00:20:22.839 --> 00:20:24.119 my victory will be complete. 00:20:25.039 --> 00:20:26.159 I am, I'm on your side. 00:20:27.019 --> 00:20:28.459 I'm in your corner all the way. 00:20:29.439 --> 00:20:30.019 Once again, 00:20:30.439 --> 00:20:32.799 the Lord will break into the natural world 00:20:32.799 --> 00:20:34.000 in a supernatural way 00:20:34.000 --> 00:20:36.059 to initiate the victory, 00:20:36.419 --> 00:20:37.819 to draw people to himself, 00:20:37.899 --> 00:20:39.119 to fight for his people, 00:20:39.119 --> 00:20:42.239 and it's an act of great kindness. 00:20:44.719 --> 00:20:46.699 But how can it be true kindness 00:20:46.699 --> 00:20:49.959 when the kindness that God extends 00:20:49.959 --> 00:20:51.179 to one people group 00:20:51.179 --> 00:20:53.599 comes at the expense of another? 00:20:53.799 --> 00:20:54.039 I mean, 00:20:54.799 --> 00:20:57.739 he is extending kindness to Israel, 00:20:57.879 --> 00:21:00.019 but it will lead to the downfall of Canaan. 00:21:01.119 --> 00:21:03.419 Would it be kindness for my family 00:21:03.420 --> 00:21:08.140 if I just lavished my love and attention 00:21:08.140 --> 00:21:10.620 with material things to one child 00:21:10.620 --> 00:21:12.380 at the expense of the other? 00:21:13.400 --> 00:21:14.660 It wouldn't make me a good father. 00:21:14.880 --> 00:21:19.039 That would make me something else, 00:21:19.180 --> 00:21:20.240 but not good. 00:21:21.060 --> 00:21:21.960 That wouldn't be kind. 00:21:22.140 --> 00:21:24.460 It would be leveraging one child 00:21:24.460 --> 00:21:26.039 to punish the other. 00:21:26.360 --> 00:21:27.500 What is happening then? 00:21:28.160 --> 00:21:30.300 How can we understand God's kindness 00:21:30.300 --> 00:21:32.039 in light of what is to come? 00:21:33.420 --> 00:21:35.620 How are we to make sense of the next section? 00:21:36.360 --> 00:21:38.180 This leads to our second point. 00:21:39.220 --> 00:21:43.700 Second point is the justice of God punishing evil. 00:21:43.820 --> 00:21:44.279 So this is, 00:21:44.380 --> 00:21:44.759 I set up, 00:21:44.860 --> 00:21:46.000 we're going to go through the whole section. 00:21:46.539 --> 00:21:47.980 This is the part I'm going to sum up 00:21:47.980 --> 00:21:49.759 because God has given instructions 00:21:49.759 --> 00:21:51.880 to Joshua for Israel 00:21:51.880 --> 00:21:54.160 and the next section, 00:21:54.279 --> 00:21:56.620 verses 6 to 15, 00:21:56.720 --> 00:21:58.480 really just detail Joshua 00:21:58.480 --> 00:22:00.500 telling the information to the people 00:22:00.500 --> 00:22:01.519 and the people obeying, okay? 00:22:01.519 --> 00:22:03.779 So that's what's happening. 00:22:04.519 --> 00:22:07.400 And then it culminates in the final blast 00:22:07.400 --> 00:22:11.420 of the ram's horn or the shofar. 00:22:11.599 --> 00:22:12.180 And actually, 00:22:13.019 --> 00:22:15.139 we brought a shofar today 00:22:15.139 --> 00:22:17.099 and just imagine before, 00:22:17.240 --> 00:22:17.940 Tyler's going to blow it. 00:22:18.000 --> 00:22:19.940 And Tyler's blowing it because he's a trumpeter 00:22:19.940 --> 00:22:21.480 and he has the chops for it. 00:22:21.480 --> 00:22:23.059 And every time I try it at home, 00:22:23.140 --> 00:22:24.940 the kids laugh because it's like squeaking. 00:22:25.360 --> 00:22:26.460 It doesn't quite work. 00:22:27.120 --> 00:22:30.160 But just imagine a whole troop of people 00:22:30.160 --> 00:22:31.640 with this box in the middle 00:22:31.640 --> 00:22:32.980 going around 00:22:32.980 --> 00:22:35.339 and all you hear is the sound. 00:22:35.740 --> 00:22:37.360 What kind of psychological warfare 00:22:37.360 --> 00:22:38.920 might it be for the people? 00:22:39.819 --> 00:22:40.839 And in addition, 00:22:40.960 --> 00:22:42.860 one more thing before you blast this, Tyler. 00:22:42.859 --> 00:22:48.719 This is also talking about symbolism 00:22:48.719 --> 00:22:49.659 or what it represents. 00:22:49.799 --> 00:22:51.779 It represents, in a sense, 00:22:52.379 --> 00:22:54.139 the victory of God. 00:22:54.259 --> 00:22:55.199 We'll see this especially 00:22:55.199 --> 00:22:57.240 in the book of Revelation. 00:22:57.859 --> 00:22:59.279 Just before this returns, 00:22:59.359 --> 00:23:00.740 there's the blast of the shofar. 00:23:01.219 --> 00:23:02.119 The victory's won. 00:23:02.859 --> 00:23:04.019 So give it a shot if you're up for it. 00:23:04.019 --> 00:23:04.460 Wow. 00:23:12.900 --> 00:23:13.319 Well done. 00:23:13.680 --> 00:23:14.099 Give me a hand. 00:23:17.379 --> 00:23:18.160 Thank you, Tyler. 00:23:19.539 --> 00:23:20.079 I don't know. 00:23:20.099 --> 00:23:20.599 It did something. 00:23:20.700 --> 00:23:21.400 It always gets me. 00:23:21.799 --> 00:23:22.400 Like, I don't know. 00:23:22.519 --> 00:23:24.259 It kind of rattles me up a little bit. 00:23:24.920 --> 00:23:25.920 Imagine hearing that. 00:23:26.740 --> 00:23:27.000 Okay? 00:23:27.099 --> 00:23:28.279 Imagine hearing that 00:23:28.279 --> 00:23:29.240 if you're in Jericho. 00:23:29.539 --> 00:23:30.799 But imagine hearing that 00:23:30.799 --> 00:23:33.059 if you are an Israelite. 00:23:33.339 --> 00:23:33.599 Wow. 00:23:33.599 --> 00:23:35.259 God is on our side. 00:23:36.500 --> 00:23:37.799 So that's what you're hearing 00:23:37.799 --> 00:23:40.259 as the people are going around, 00:23:40.500 --> 00:23:42.019 as the priests are going around. 00:23:43.000 --> 00:23:44.399 That's the best I've ever heard 00:23:44.399 --> 00:23:46.679 the trumpet blasted, by the way. 00:23:47.519 --> 00:23:48.839 So victory's at hand. 00:23:49.980 --> 00:23:52.099 But then comes this passage 00:23:52.099 --> 00:23:53.219 that I warned you guys about 00:23:53.219 --> 00:23:53.799 at the beginning. 00:23:54.559 --> 00:23:55.899 I'll read verses 16 00:23:55.899 --> 00:23:58.899 and then 21 is the tough one. 00:24:00.279 --> 00:24:01.759 And at the seventh time 00:24:01.759 --> 00:24:03.379 when the priests had blown the trumpet, 00:24:03.380 --> 00:24:04.840 Joshua said to the people, 00:24:05.040 --> 00:24:05.280 Shout! 00:24:05.960 --> 00:24:09.000 For the Lord has given you the city. 00:24:10.520 --> 00:24:14.120 Actually, we'll jump verses 17 to 20. 00:24:14.900 --> 00:24:17.000 Then they devoted all the city 00:24:17.000 --> 00:24:17.860 to destruction. 00:24:19.140 --> 00:24:20.420 Both men and women, 00:24:21.580 --> 00:24:22.260 young and old, 00:24:22.460 --> 00:24:23.960 oxen, sheep, and donkeys 00:24:23.960 --> 00:24:25.220 with the edge of the sword. 00:24:25.220 --> 00:24:26.700 Now, sometimes in the Bible 00:24:26.700 --> 00:24:27.519 when it says 00:24:27.519 --> 00:24:28.860 there is, 00:24:28.960 --> 00:24:30.519 the whole city was destroyed, 00:24:30.880 --> 00:24:33.240 it's an idea of saying 00:24:33.240 --> 00:24:34.600 that it was a total victory. 00:24:34.700 --> 00:24:35.400 In this case, 00:24:36.400 --> 00:24:37.600 it means what it says. 00:24:38.940 --> 00:24:40.860 It means what it says. 00:24:40.859 --> 00:24:43.959 So it's a difficult passage. 00:24:44.639 --> 00:24:45.139 And like I said 00:24:45.139 --> 00:24:47.399 at the beginning of our sermon, 00:24:47.479 --> 00:24:49.299 at the beginning of our sermon series 00:24:49.299 --> 00:24:49.759 in Joshua, 00:24:50.379 --> 00:24:51.219 the commitment for us 00:24:51.219 --> 00:24:51.959 is to walk towards 00:24:51.959 --> 00:24:53.000 these difficult passages, 00:24:53.139 --> 00:24:53.859 not away from them. 00:24:54.399 --> 00:24:56.139 So let's walk towards it together. 00:24:58.000 --> 00:24:59.439 So it's a difficult passage 00:24:59.439 --> 00:25:00.919 for us. 00:25:03.000 --> 00:25:04.240 I mean, it implies that 00:25:04.240 --> 00:25:06.319 children are being slaughtered 00:25:06.319 --> 00:25:08.559 and they're being slaughtered 00:25:08.559 --> 00:25:09.919 because God has said so. 00:25:11.519 --> 00:25:12.819 But it's important for us 00:25:12.819 --> 00:25:14.700 to consider the utter evil 00:25:14.700 --> 00:25:16.259 of the Canaanite culture. 00:25:18.240 --> 00:25:20.220 Canaanite culture was barbaric. 00:25:21.319 --> 00:25:22.240 It was evil. 00:25:23.319 --> 00:25:24.639 I will try to... 00:25:27.059 --> 00:25:28.220 Anyways, you can read about it, 00:25:28.279 --> 00:25:30.639 but it was full of murder, 00:25:31.439 --> 00:25:34.639 full of abuse 00:25:34.640 --> 00:25:36.420 abuse and exploitation 00:25:36.420 --> 00:25:37.780 of the worst kind. 00:25:39.980 --> 00:25:41.160 There was sacrifice 00:25:41.160 --> 00:25:42.240 and not of animals. 00:25:44.000 --> 00:25:45.220 People were trafficked. 00:25:46.580 --> 00:25:48.640 Think of the worst possible atrocities 00:25:48.640 --> 00:25:49.600 that you can think of, 00:25:50.120 --> 00:25:51.720 and it happened in ancient Canaan. 00:25:53.180 --> 00:25:53.980 And not only that, 00:25:54.060 --> 00:25:55.180 but the people gleefully 00:25:55.180 --> 00:25:56.800 participated in such acts. 00:25:56.900 --> 00:25:58.960 It was a part of their ethos. 00:25:59.040 --> 00:26:00.280 It was a part of their very worship. 00:26:00.440 --> 00:26:02.700 It was their very way of life. 00:26:02.700 --> 00:26:04.900 So we might struggle 00:26:04.900 --> 00:26:06.600 with the idea of the Lord 00:26:06.600 --> 00:26:07.980 commanding an entire people 00:26:07.980 --> 00:26:09.380 to be devoted to destruction, 00:26:09.799 --> 00:26:11.519 but we need to understand 00:26:11.519 --> 00:26:15.380 how evil, evil truly is 00:26:15.380 --> 00:26:17.640 and how important it is 00:26:17.640 --> 00:26:19.920 that it is dealt with justice. 00:26:21.299 --> 00:26:22.440 But what about the innocence? 00:26:22.720 --> 00:26:24.500 What about mercy? 00:26:25.380 --> 00:26:27.700 Listen, these are very important objections. 00:26:27.700 --> 00:26:31.360 I'm going to address them 00:26:31.360 --> 00:26:33.080 when we get to chapter 7. 00:26:34.539 --> 00:26:37.740 So it'll be in two or three weeks from now. 00:26:38.700 --> 00:26:39.880 I'll address that, 00:26:40.080 --> 00:26:41.900 but it will get addressed, 00:26:41.960 --> 00:26:42.580 I promise you. 00:26:44.620 --> 00:26:47.140 But if we consider back to the, 00:26:47.220 --> 00:26:48.420 if we get back to the evil 00:26:48.420 --> 00:26:49.160 of the Canaanites, 00:26:49.220 --> 00:26:50.660 if we consider just how evil 00:26:50.660 --> 00:26:52.860 things really were, 00:26:52.960 --> 00:26:54.120 let's maybe approach 00:26:54.120 --> 00:26:56.019 the whole situation 00:26:56.019 --> 00:26:57.460 with a different question. 00:26:58.680 --> 00:26:59.299 What if the Lord 00:26:59.299 --> 00:27:00.700 didn't execute justice? 00:27:01.480 --> 00:27:02.960 What if he allowed evil 00:27:02.960 --> 00:27:05.039 to continue on and fester? 00:27:05.139 --> 00:27:06.740 What if the policy of God, 00:27:06.799 --> 00:27:07.900 the official policy of God 00:27:07.900 --> 00:27:09.359 was live and let live? 00:27:10.440 --> 00:27:11.859 You do you 00:27:11.859 --> 00:27:13.500 to the Canaanite people, 00:27:14.759 --> 00:27:16.059 allowing their culture 00:27:16.059 --> 00:27:18.900 to form the way they want it 00:27:18.900 --> 00:27:20.119 for them to believe 00:27:20.119 --> 00:27:21.180 what they want to believe 00:27:21.180 --> 00:27:22.160 and practice whatever 00:27:22.160 --> 00:27:23.259 they want to practice. 00:27:23.259 --> 00:27:24.960 What if that was God's policy? 00:27:26.019 --> 00:27:26.879 And therefore, 00:27:27.059 --> 00:27:31.400 evil continued to fester, 00:27:31.759 --> 00:27:34.079 continued to grow and evolve. 00:27:34.480 --> 00:27:35.519 Let me give you an example 00:27:35.519 --> 00:27:36.599 of what that might look like. 00:27:38.000 --> 00:27:39.299 This past week 00:27:39.299 --> 00:27:41.039 marked the three-year anniversary 00:27:41.039 --> 00:27:43.359 of the October 7th attacks. 00:27:44.639 --> 00:27:46.000 And the glee and the joy 00:27:46.000 --> 00:27:48.680 of 6,000 Gazans, 00:27:49.079 --> 00:27:52.379 both military and civilian, 00:27:52.380 --> 00:27:54.880 participated in the massacres 00:27:54.880 --> 00:27:55.320 that day, 00:27:55.380 --> 00:27:57.740 and 1,200 Israelis, 00:27:58.140 --> 00:27:59.940 both Arab and Jews, 00:28:00.480 --> 00:28:03.120 also some foreign nationals 00:28:03.120 --> 00:28:04.160 as well, 00:28:04.480 --> 00:28:05.620 they were killed. 00:28:05.760 --> 00:28:06.440 And it was chilling 00:28:06.440 --> 00:28:07.460 and hard to comprehend. 00:28:08.440 --> 00:28:10.040 One such example, 00:28:11.620 --> 00:28:12.880 it's still haunting. 00:28:13.460 --> 00:28:14.740 There was a young man 00:28:14.740 --> 00:28:16.860 and they captured the audio 00:28:16.860 --> 00:28:19.340 of his call to his father. 00:28:19.339 --> 00:28:20.959 And with glee and joy, 00:28:21.059 --> 00:28:21.980 he talked about how 00:28:21.980 --> 00:28:23.519 he murdered 10 00:28:23.519 --> 00:28:28.399 and mutilated 10 Israelis. 00:28:28.799 --> 00:28:30.679 And his father responds 00:28:30.679 --> 00:28:33.459 with joy 00:28:33.459 --> 00:28:34.839 and thankfulness 00:28:34.839 --> 00:28:35.299 and pride. 00:28:35.299 --> 00:28:39.700 And although only 6,000 00:28:39.700 --> 00:28:40.659 of say 2 million 00:28:40.659 --> 00:28:42.220 of these people 00:28:42.220 --> 00:28:45.339 participated in the massacres, 00:28:45.559 --> 00:28:46.359 when the hostages 00:28:46.359 --> 00:28:47.759 were brought back into Gaza, 00:28:48.440 --> 00:28:49.919 the streets filled up 00:28:49.919 --> 00:28:52.139 and people cheered 00:28:52.139 --> 00:28:53.980 and candy was handed out 00:28:53.980 --> 00:28:55.299 to children 00:28:55.299 --> 00:28:57.180 and there were shouts of joy 00:28:57.180 --> 00:28:57.859 heard everywhere. 00:28:59.940 --> 00:29:02.180 This is what evil looks like 00:29:02.180 --> 00:29:04.720 when it is allowed to fester. 00:29:05.299 --> 00:29:06.700 A culture 00:29:06.700 --> 00:29:09.839 is designed 00:29:09.839 --> 00:29:11.480 and is used 00:29:11.480 --> 00:29:13.480 to not promote the good 00:29:13.480 --> 00:29:14.720 or the flourishing 00:29:14.720 --> 00:29:15.720 of humanity 00:29:15.720 --> 00:29:17.720 but to exploit 00:29:17.720 --> 00:29:18.700 and to murder 00:29:18.700 --> 00:29:19.500 and to kill 00:29:19.500 --> 00:29:20.619 and to maim. 00:29:22.720 --> 00:29:23.379 But I'll say this, 00:29:23.559 --> 00:29:23.819 the problem 00:29:23.819 --> 00:29:25.720 isn't inherently 00:29:25.720 --> 00:29:28.200 with the people of Gaza. 00:29:28.740 --> 00:29:29.859 It's not as though 00:29:29.859 --> 00:29:31.899 Gazans are defective. 00:29:31.980 --> 00:29:32.639 Whatever family 00:29:32.639 --> 00:29:33.240 they come from, 00:29:33.319 --> 00:29:34.480 whatever religion 00:29:34.480 --> 00:29:35.019 they practice, 00:29:35.120 --> 00:29:35.920 they're just defective. 00:29:36.019 --> 00:29:36.440 No, no, no. 00:29:36.500 --> 00:29:37.180 The issue is 00:29:37.180 --> 00:29:38.400 with a culture, 00:29:39.160 --> 00:29:39.779 not a people, 00:29:39.900 --> 00:29:40.440 but a culture 00:29:40.440 --> 00:29:42.480 formed by a death cult. 00:29:43.460 --> 00:29:43.740 Listen, 00:29:43.940 --> 00:29:44.720 I bring this up 00:29:44.720 --> 00:29:46.059 not to debate 00:29:46.059 --> 00:29:48.400 the war that happened 00:29:48.400 --> 00:29:49.819 over the next 00:29:49.819 --> 00:29:50.759 two plus years. 00:29:51.019 --> 00:29:52.120 I have my opinions 00:29:52.120 --> 00:29:52.980 about that. 00:29:52.980 --> 00:29:55.940 It is incredibly sad 00:29:55.940 --> 00:29:57.279 and I wish it didn't happen. 00:29:57.360 --> 00:29:57.799 If you guys 00:29:57.799 --> 00:29:59.360 want to talk about it 00:29:59.360 --> 00:29:59.779 afterwards 00:29:59.779 --> 00:30:00.980 or you find it offensive 00:30:00.980 --> 00:30:01.960 that I even use this 00:30:01.960 --> 00:30:02.559 as an example, 00:30:03.039 --> 00:30:03.920 please come talk to me. 00:30:04.000 --> 00:30:04.539 I'm like, 00:30:04.700 --> 00:30:05.599 I don't even own 00:30:05.599 --> 00:30:06.220 boxing gloves, 00:30:06.299 --> 00:30:06.460 all right? 00:30:06.519 --> 00:30:06.700 Like, 00:30:06.759 --> 00:30:07.360 we can talk. 00:30:07.420 --> 00:30:07.920 It'll be civil. 00:30:08.019 --> 00:30:08.539 It'll be okay. 00:30:08.579 --> 00:30:09.000 I promise. 00:30:10.799 --> 00:30:11.599 But I use this 00:30:11.599 --> 00:30:12.779 as a very concrete 00:30:12.779 --> 00:30:14.640 and a very current example 00:30:14.640 --> 00:30:16.799 of what evil looks like 00:30:16.799 --> 00:30:18.159 and how reprehensible 00:30:18.159 --> 00:30:20.220 it truly is 00:30:20.220 --> 00:30:21.960 and how Canaan 00:30:21.960 --> 00:30:25.119 looked a lot more like that 00:30:25.119 --> 00:30:27.940 than we might see 00:30:27.940 --> 00:30:28.839 in the scriptures. 00:30:30.460 --> 00:30:31.359 I could have talked 00:30:31.359 --> 00:30:32.000 about the Taliban. 00:30:33.000 --> 00:30:33.559 I could have talked 00:30:33.559 --> 00:30:35.859 about the Mexican 00:30:35.859 --> 00:30:36.799 drug cartels. 00:30:37.579 --> 00:30:37.720 I mean, 00:30:37.779 --> 00:30:38.339 barbaric, 00:30:38.440 --> 00:30:38.980 barbaric, 00:30:39.059 --> 00:30:40.359 barbaric culture 00:30:40.359 --> 00:30:43.419 in both of those examples. 00:30:44.220 --> 00:30:44.379 You know, 00:30:44.399 --> 00:30:44.919 I could even talk 00:30:44.919 --> 00:30:45.680 about our culture. 00:30:45.680 --> 00:30:46.840 John Paul II, 00:30:46.980 --> 00:30:47.560 I think rightly, 00:30:48.320 --> 00:30:50.380 called the West 00:30:50.380 --> 00:30:52.180 participating 00:30:52.180 --> 00:30:53.240 in the culture of death. 00:30:54.060 --> 00:30:54.160 Okay? 00:30:56.340 --> 00:30:57.799 What I'm trying to say, 00:30:57.860 --> 00:30:58.660 and please hear me 00:30:58.660 --> 00:30:59.519 when I say it, 00:30:59.779 --> 00:31:00.820 I'm not advocating 00:31:00.820 --> 00:31:03.580 for a view 00:31:03.580 --> 00:31:04.620 that people 00:31:04.620 --> 00:31:05.880 are inherently bad, 00:31:05.960 --> 00:31:06.740 but that cultures 00:31:06.740 --> 00:31:07.940 aren't equal. 00:31:09.900 --> 00:31:10.340 Okay? 00:31:10.600 --> 00:31:11.480 Cultures aren't equal. 00:31:12.000 --> 00:31:12.620 And also, 00:31:12.759 --> 00:31:13.200 please hear me 00:31:13.200 --> 00:31:13.560 when I say 00:31:13.560 --> 00:31:14.320 I'm not advocating 00:31:14.320 --> 00:31:14.920 for genocide 00:31:14.920 --> 00:31:16.680 or indiscriminate killing 00:31:16.680 --> 00:31:18.620 or meeting cruelty 00:31:18.620 --> 00:31:19.320 and barbarism 00:31:19.320 --> 00:31:19.820 with cruelty 00:31:19.820 --> 00:31:20.980 and barbarism. 00:31:21.160 --> 00:31:22.039 What I'm not doing 00:31:22.039 --> 00:31:22.500 this morning, 00:31:22.580 --> 00:31:23.300 hear me when I say it, 00:31:23.340 --> 00:31:24.560 I'm not somehow 00:31:24.560 --> 00:31:25.880 commending a method 00:31:25.880 --> 00:31:26.779 on how to deal 00:31:26.779 --> 00:31:27.820 with this at all. 00:31:28.820 --> 00:31:30.060 But I am saying 00:31:30.060 --> 00:31:31.140 that we cannot be 00:31:31.140 --> 00:31:31.860 indifferent 00:31:31.860 --> 00:31:33.620 or excuse evil 00:31:33.620 --> 00:31:34.700 when we see it. 00:31:36.600 --> 00:31:38.000 Evil always needs 00:31:38.000 --> 00:31:38.960 to be opposed. 00:31:38.960 --> 00:31:41.799 you know, 00:31:41.860 --> 00:31:42.720 the Bible itself, 00:31:43.039 --> 00:31:44.279 and we'll see this, 00:31:44.319 --> 00:31:45.240 especially with Rahab, 00:31:45.660 --> 00:31:47.620 also doesn't attack 00:31:47.620 --> 00:31:48.819 and condemn 00:31:48.819 --> 00:31:49.740 a people group, 00:31:49.819 --> 00:31:50.200 but again, 00:31:50.279 --> 00:31:50.840 a culture. 00:31:51.799 --> 00:31:53.120 Rahab confesses 00:31:53.120 --> 00:31:53.720 her sins 00:31:53.720 --> 00:31:55.799 to the almighty God 00:31:55.799 --> 00:31:57.460 or puts her allegiance 00:31:57.460 --> 00:31:58.460 to the almighty God 00:31:58.460 --> 00:31:59.240 and is treated 00:31:59.240 --> 00:32:00.200 like an Israelite. 00:32:00.980 --> 00:32:01.120 Okay? 00:32:01.579 --> 00:32:03.420 She rejects her culture 00:32:03.420 --> 00:32:04.200 and her religion 00:32:04.200 --> 00:32:05.620 for the true 00:32:05.620 --> 00:32:07.400 and better God. 00:32:07.400 --> 00:32:08.880 And we'll see 00:32:08.880 --> 00:32:10.380 in a few weeks 00:32:10.380 --> 00:32:11.400 there's this man 00:32:11.400 --> 00:32:11.920 named Achan 00:32:11.920 --> 00:32:13.720 who is an Israelite 00:32:13.720 --> 00:32:15.540 and he acts culturally 00:32:15.540 --> 00:32:18.320 like a Canaanite 00:32:18.320 --> 00:32:18.920 and he's treated 00:32:18.920 --> 00:32:19.420 like that. 00:32:20.720 --> 00:32:21.460 It's not an issue 00:32:21.460 --> 00:32:22.220 with people groups, 00:32:22.780 --> 00:32:24.120 but cultures 00:32:24.120 --> 00:32:25.220 that we see. 00:32:25.360 --> 00:32:26.240 And more than that, 00:32:26.840 --> 00:32:27.320 it's not just 00:32:27.320 --> 00:32:27.820 an indictment 00:32:27.820 --> 00:32:28.400 on cultures, 00:32:28.500 --> 00:32:29.040 for the Bible 00:32:29.040 --> 00:32:29.700 is clear 00:32:29.700 --> 00:32:31.580 that sin actually 00:32:31.580 --> 00:32:33.580 isn't an issue 00:32:33.580 --> 00:32:35.420 that is connected 00:32:35.420 --> 00:32:36.860 with nations only. 00:32:37.400 --> 00:32:38.780 But that it runs 00:32:38.780 --> 00:32:41.240 from top to bottom 00:32:41.240 --> 00:32:42.780 in our own hearts. 00:32:44.480 --> 00:32:45.440 This is where evil 00:32:45.440 --> 00:32:46.060 can be found. 00:32:46.500 --> 00:32:47.600 In the human heart. 00:32:48.360 --> 00:32:49.300 In our desires, 00:32:49.620 --> 00:32:50.700 in our fantasies, 00:32:50.800 --> 00:32:51.680 in our temptations. 00:32:53.660 --> 00:32:54.860 Evil is real. 00:32:56.460 --> 00:32:57.759 And what we see here 00:32:57.759 --> 00:32:58.600 is God 00:32:58.600 --> 00:33:01.620 dealing with it. 00:33:01.619 --> 00:33:05.159 this is in my next point, 00:33:05.239 --> 00:33:06.259 but I'll just say it now. 00:33:06.779 --> 00:33:08.979 Back in Genesis chapter 15, 00:33:09.639 --> 00:33:10.419 the evil 00:33:10.419 --> 00:33:11.479 and the 00:33:11.479 --> 00:33:13.859 subsequent destruction 00:33:13.859 --> 00:33:14.979 of Canaan 00:33:14.979 --> 00:33:16.679 was foreshadowed. 00:33:16.679 --> 00:33:17.819 Back in Genesis 15, 00:33:18.379 --> 00:33:19.500 God is telling Abraham 00:33:19.500 --> 00:33:20.279 you're going to get the land, 00:33:20.399 --> 00:33:20.959 but first, 00:33:21.779 --> 00:33:22.159 he says, 00:33:22.239 --> 00:33:23.599 the sins of the Amorites 00:33:23.599 --> 00:33:24.439 has to reach 00:33:24.439 --> 00:33:25.439 its zenith, 00:33:25.500 --> 00:33:26.079 its pinnacle. 00:33:26.079 --> 00:33:26.919 Okay? 00:33:27.759 --> 00:33:28.839 The Amorites 00:33:28.839 --> 00:33:29.439 are again 00:33:29.439 --> 00:33:30.480 a part of this people group. 00:33:30.579 --> 00:33:31.399 The idea is 00:33:31.399 --> 00:33:32.179 Canaan. 00:33:33.000 --> 00:33:34.500 Canaan is an evil place 00:33:34.500 --> 00:33:35.099 that practices 00:33:35.099 --> 00:33:36.819 evil things. 00:33:38.579 --> 00:33:40.039 That was God's judgment. 00:33:41.339 --> 00:33:41.599 And then 00:33:41.599 --> 00:33:43.220 500 plus years 00:33:43.220 --> 00:33:43.839 goes by 00:33:43.839 --> 00:33:45.139 between Genesis 15 00:33:45.139 --> 00:33:48.199 and Joshua chapter 6. 00:33:48.200 --> 00:33:50.600 And in that period of time, 00:33:50.720 --> 00:33:52.319 there were ample examples 00:33:52.319 --> 00:33:54.440 of God, 00:33:55.759 --> 00:33:57.400 the one true God, 00:33:57.480 --> 00:33:58.340 the God of Abraham, 00:33:58.519 --> 00:33:59.080 Isaac, and Jacob, 00:33:59.180 --> 00:34:00.380 the God of Israel 00:34:00.380 --> 00:34:02.059 doing magnificent things 00:34:02.059 --> 00:34:03.380 and making all the other gods 00:34:03.380 --> 00:34:04.319 look petty and small. 00:34:05.600 --> 00:34:06.680 Said another way, 00:34:07.019 --> 00:34:09.220 there was 500 plus years 00:34:09.220 --> 00:34:10.420 of opportunities 00:34:10.420 --> 00:34:11.320 to repent 00:34:11.320 --> 00:34:13.519 and to turn from the wickedness. 00:34:15.240 --> 00:34:15.800 And even 00:34:15.800 --> 00:34:18.160 in the lead up 00:34:18.160 --> 00:34:19.360 to Joshua chapter 6, 00:34:19.420 --> 00:34:19.960 what do we see? 00:34:20.340 --> 00:34:22.000 God doing magnificent things 00:34:22.000 --> 00:34:23.380 so that the people 00:34:23.380 --> 00:34:24.080 of Jericho, 00:34:24.160 --> 00:34:25.320 if you remember chapter 2, 00:34:25.720 --> 00:34:26.860 their hearts were melted. 00:34:27.019 --> 00:34:27.780 They were so afraid 00:34:27.780 --> 00:34:28.440 of this God. 00:34:28.620 --> 00:34:29.100 And yet, 00:34:30.220 --> 00:34:30.820 and yet, 00:34:31.760 --> 00:34:32.680 they did not turn. 00:34:34.320 --> 00:34:35.440 God is a God 00:34:35.440 --> 00:34:36.060 of justice 00:34:36.060 --> 00:34:36.820 and he can't let, 00:34:37.420 --> 00:34:39.320 he can't let evil persist 00:34:39.320 --> 00:34:40.220 but he also 00:34:40.220 --> 00:34:41.940 extends mercy. 00:34:42.100 --> 00:34:42.700 So this will lead 00:34:42.700 --> 00:34:43.600 into our third 00:34:43.600 --> 00:34:44.560 and final point. 00:34:44.559 --> 00:34:46.579 God is 00:34:46.579 --> 00:34:48.239 a beautiful God 00:34:48.239 --> 00:34:49.519 for he extends 00:34:49.519 --> 00:34:50.940 mercy to those 00:34:50.940 --> 00:34:51.980 who don't deserve it. 00:34:54.059 --> 00:34:54.579 Listen, 00:34:55.659 --> 00:34:56.679 they had ample time 00:34:56.679 --> 00:34:58.380 to turn from their wickedness 00:34:58.380 --> 00:34:59.880 and I've given you 00:34:59.880 --> 00:35:00.460 the examples 00:35:00.460 --> 00:35:01.699 of what that wickedness 00:35:01.699 --> 00:35:02.139 looked like 00:35:02.139 --> 00:35:03.440 and yet they still didn't. 00:35:03.799 --> 00:35:04.320 Okay, why? 00:35:04.900 --> 00:35:05.659 Verse 1 00:35:05.659 --> 00:35:07.019 is on one hand 00:35:07.019 --> 00:35:08.420 to tell us 00:35:08.420 --> 00:35:09.460 and to tell the Israelites 00:35:09.460 --> 00:35:10.739 that Jericho 00:35:10.739 --> 00:35:11.340 was too big 00:35:11.340 --> 00:35:12.039 for them to conquer 00:35:12.039 --> 00:35:12.639 by themselves 00:35:12.639 --> 00:35:13.619 but also 00:35:13.619 --> 00:35:15.000 it is 00:35:15.000 --> 00:35:16.299 a picture 00:35:16.299 --> 00:35:17.339 of what's happening 00:35:17.339 --> 00:35:18.500 in the collective hearts 00:35:18.500 --> 00:35:19.980 of the people of Canaan. 00:35:20.299 --> 00:35:21.319 They are shutting themselves 00:35:21.319 --> 00:35:22.500 off to the one true God. 00:35:24.900 --> 00:35:26.400 We see Rahab hasn't. 00:35:27.500 --> 00:35:28.019 She will 00:35:28.019 --> 00:35:29.219 receive mercy 00:35:29.219 --> 00:35:30.879 but why them? 00:35:30.980 --> 00:35:31.539 Why is it that 00:35:31.539 --> 00:35:32.819 they have had mercy 00:35:32.819 --> 00:35:33.699 extended to them 00:35:33.699 --> 00:35:34.639 and they have not 00:35:34.639 --> 00:35:37.460 embraced it? 00:35:37.460 --> 00:35:39.440 Why did they reject God 00:35:39.440 --> 00:35:39.980 and continue 00:35:39.980 --> 00:35:41.119 in their horrendous evil? 00:35:41.780 --> 00:35:42.579 We talked about this 00:35:42.579 --> 00:35:43.420 three weeks ago 00:35:43.420 --> 00:35:44.539 back in chapter 2 00:35:44.539 --> 00:35:45.360 and the answer 00:35:45.360 --> 00:35:45.900 is still the same. 00:35:45.960 --> 00:35:46.420

--> 00:35:56.940 said no 00:35:56.940 --> 00:35:58.000 and they shut themselves 00:35:58.000 --> 00:35:59.220 up from God 00:35:59.220 --> 00:36:00.340 effectively giving God 00:36:00.340 -->
