Whew! A lot of killing, and land disbursements. There are some awesome key verses throughout the storyline that really hit me. Some are pretty well known, Deut 29:29 (The secret things belong to God, but the things that He has revealed to us belong to us and to our children), Joshua 24:15 (Choose ye this day whom ye shall serve...as for me and my house we shall serve the Lord) or Joshua 5:13-15 (And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries? And he said, Nay; but as captain of the host of the LORD am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my lord unto his servant? And the captain of the LORD's host said unto Joshua, Loose thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Joshua did so).
One that I hadn't noticed before that was a wow moment for me was Joshua 5:9, 'And the LORD said unto Joshua, This day have I rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off you. Sounds a bit familiar!! Matt 28:2 'And behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled away the stone from the door, and sat upon it.' When Jesus came out of that tomb, when the stone was rolled away, He removed the reproach of sin and the world from all who would believe. I just love seeing the shadows of Jesus in the OT. ~*~
