On
Wednesday night’s I have been studying through the book of Joshua. It has been a very rich study indeed. There are at least 7 major themes can be
seen in the book of Joshua:
(1) The
land
(2) God's
promises
(3) The
covenant
(4) Obedience
(5) Purity
of worship
(6) Godly
leadership
(7) Rest
These themes combine to form a rich theology
that consistently points to God as the major character in the book. He was the
giver of the land in fulfillment to his promises. God is the one who deserves
our allegiance and our obedience. God who is holy and jealous for his people
appointed Joshua as the successor of Moses to continue to lead the people to
the land of promise. Once there, it was God Almighty who fought for his people,
and ultimately gave the rest. This book, then, for all its battles and war and
land distributions, points to a greater cause: that God is above all else!
