Review;
Share with me some things you learned from the study in Exodus about Moses and Intimacy with God.
What was God’s purpose in giving the Ten Commandments?
Which of the commandments stuck out the most to you?
From the giving of the Ten Commandments to the Book of Joshua, where will will begin our new Bible study, there were a lot of things that happened.
For instance;
The rest of the Book of Exodus, God expands upon the commands in more details of how to deal with social and spiritual situations.
There is the formal ratification of The Covenant with Israel through blood/sacrifice to God.
There is the plans given for the Tabernacle, priests and offerings that are to be made daily, annually and the feast days.
Then at the end of Exodus the Tabernacle is complete and God fills the tabernacle with His glory.
Leviticus is God’s guidebook for His newly redeemed people, showing them how to worship, serve and obey a holy God.
Leviticus focuses on the worship and walk of the nation of God.
Numbers is the book of wandering.
The Book of Leviticus covers only one month at the foot of Mt.
Sinai, but Numbers covers nearly 40 years of wilderness because of Israels refusal to enter into God’s Promised Land for them.
Numbers is a book of divine discipline so that the people can mature spiritually to learn to trust and obey God.
Joshua is the first of the historical books [Joshua-Esther] that picks up where Deuteronomy left off.
Israel has now reached the point of finally fulfilling the centuries old promise of God to Abraham.
Even though all the generation from 20 years old and up have passed away in the wilderness for their disobedience to God, God was still using His discipline to help others prepare for what lie ahead, including Joshua.
1. Joshua born a Slave;
Joshua was born into slavery in Egypt.
He was given the name Hoshea [salvation/Num.
13:8] by his parents trusting God’s promises of redemption for His people.
Moses later changed his name to Joshua [Jehovah is salvation/Num.
13:16]
Joshua was the firstborn son of Nun [1 Chron.
7:20-27/genealogy].
This meant that his life was in danger the night of Passover, but he had faith in the Lord and was protected by the blood of the lamb.
Though born a slave, Joshua was a man of faith who knew the Lord and trusted Him to do wonders for His people.
2. Joshua becomes a Soldier;
The first official recorded act of Joshua in Scripture is his defeat of the Amalekites when they attacked Israel about two months after Israel’s exodus from Egypt.
[v.14] God was preparing and testing Joshua’s courage and faith even now to lead Israel in the conquest of Canaan later.
3. Joshua promoted to Servant;
It sounds strange to say you get promoted to servanthood, but that’s exactly what happened to Joshua.
Servant- minister, assistant, assist another
Moses carried Joshua with him to receive the commands of God and all the instructions for the tabernacle, priests and the people.
Joshua not only had to be a warrior, now he needed to know God in the same intimate way Moses did.
He needed to know the Word.
Joshua is a symbol of what king David would be [a soldier king], but a type of Christ [deliverer of his people]
4. Joshua the Spy;
Joshua was one of the 12 men that was sent into Canaan to spy out the land that God had promised them [Num.
13].
They all agreed the land was as God had said, but 10 of the men were afraid of the people in the land and gave a bad report and caused the rest of Israel to want to return to Egypt.
Only Joshua and Caleb trusted the Lord to go and take what He had already given them.
Close;
Throughout all of Joshua’s life, from being born a slave in Egypt to spying out God’s land of promise for His people, God was grooming Joshua to be Moses’ successor.
The reason Joshua was successful was his faith and trust in the Word of God.
As we began this study in the Book of Joshua, seek out what God has been doing in your life to prepare you to enter into your promised land with Him.
