The children of Israel have come alive as they went through the river Jordan.
They were birthed into a new experience with God, a new land, a whole new set of problems.
And here we are Lord, your servants, gather together.
We've come from different occupations today, different activities, different family situations.
But we have a common goal and that is to hear as you speak to your servants.
So we ask you to do that.
In Jesus' name, amen.
So turn in your Bibles to Joshua chapter 5. We began tonight by singing a song, "I Come Alive in the River," I love the words to that.
I come alive in the river.
The children of Israel have come alive as they went through the river Jordan.
They were birthed into a new experience with God, a new land, a whole new set of problems.
As well as the Promised Land, it was also the problem land.
There are enemies in that land that are going to conquer.
And we see them facing them tonight in the city of Jericho.
The leader is Joshua or Yeshua, his Hebrew name.
The English equivalent from the Greek word, his name was Jesus.

So it's just interesting to make a note that the book is named after our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.
Joshua, Yeshua, God is salvation.
Now this Joshua had been a minister of Moses, it says in chapter 1, "a servant of Moses."
He was like a personal envoy.
Whatever Moses needed, Joshua was there to make sure that Moses got it-- whatever the need was.
So he would attend to Moses' tent.

He was also the leader of the IDF, the Israeli Defense Forces.
In those days, when they were marching through the wilderness and there were some attacks by different groups, like Amalekites, it was Joshua who was General Joshua.
And he may have even been in the army while in Egypt as a young man.
He was born in Egypt, that we know.

He was born in Egypt, that we know.
He went through the wilderness and he was one of the only two survivors from the previous generation.
Joshua was one.
Caleb, we'll read about him later in this book, was the other.
Joshua leads them across the Jordan River.
And now they're in the Promised Land.

And now they're in the Promised Land.
However, the fact that he was a general in that army was a little bit different than what he's facing.
You see, up to this point he has never led an armed attack on a fortified city.

And you do remember that when the spies went to look at the land?
One of the things they noted is that there's some walls.
There's some cities with huge walls.
And there's giants in this land.
This place is fortified.

Joshua has never led an assault on a fortified city-state, like he found in Canaan.
Moreover, the army was not a well-equipped army, right?
They're traveling in tents with their families, a couple of million people, animals, a bunch of ex slaves.
So they don't have implements of war, so to speak.

I mean, they don't have catapults.
They don't have battering rams.
They don't have the moving towers like they used in ancient times to assault cities.
It is a ragtag group of people against well fortified cities.

However, having said that, they had one huge advantage, the fear factor.
And I'm not talking about the TV show.
Israel had the fear factor.
They had, on their side, the fear of God that the people of Canaan had in hearing what God had done for them.

What they had in their favor was the fact that the morale of the Canaanites was at an all time low.
It was Rahab who told the spies, hey, the people of my city-- man, our hearts melted when we heard what happened with the Red Sea incident.
And our hearts further melted and were terrified when we heard about the two kings that you guys wiped out.
So we are in absolute terror of you guys.

So the morale was at an all time low among the Canaanites.
Now was the time to move.
