Joshua failed to completely conquer the Canaanites. How much of our spiritual inheritance still remains unclaimed?

Notes on Joshua 13:1-33

This concludes Joshua’s conquest of the Promised Land. But why repeat all this here? Because it shows us both the enemies that had to be overcome while at the same time giving us a view of the spiritual resting place God has provided.

Notes on Joshua 12:1-24

The ministry of Jesus and His disciples covers much of the territory discussed in Joshua’s military campaigns. Jesus, like Joshua,  also overthrew “kings,” but they were spiritual “principalities and powers” resisting the kingdom of God. Also, was the conquest of the Promised Land a genocide?

Notes on Joshua 11:1-23

When the five Amorite kings converge to punish the Gibeonites, Joshua takes a bold step of faith and the sun and moon stand still during the battle.

Notes on Joshua 10

The Gibeonites want to defect from the Canaanite alliance and join with Israel, but to do that, they first have to fool Joshua.

Notes on Joshua 9:1-27

After the sin of Achan is judged, God transforms Israel’s failure into a victory.

Notes on Joshua 8:1-35

Israel is defeated at Ai, and the reason is found within their own camp.

Notes on Joshua 7:1-26
