Transcript:

[00:00] for us to hear and learn that a word of truth that is given to us by the most high god all honor goes to the father [00:05] through the son whose name is yahushua in him lies the only hope for salvation we know that it is obtained by grace [00:12] through faith not of works unless anyone should boast and give it freely as a [00:17] gift to all who obey him we understand that if you do not obey him it is made [00:24] or made that you do not believe in this state you should expect no good thing from the [00:29] most high however anything that you do get whether it be a gift of tongues a gift of prophecy or any supernatural [00:34] experience that you may have it can and it will be used against you in the day of judgment with that said [00:41] peace to the saints that are in the room to the saints that couldn't make it to the saints watching in on the camera but no peace to the wicked the only thing we [00:48] say to them is repent that they might yeah [00:55] all right [01:10] this is uh so last week what did we talk about who remember what we talked about last [01:16] night you got to keep the thing in memory that's what paul tell us [01:22] somebody was being chased who was being chased [01:31] they remember the young man the fighting and all that remember that the they circuit the town [01:36] and what they do what was the town name [01:42] what to start with what letter [Music] [01:47] okay you know like you know i'm saying uh [01:52] break me off a piece of that laundry soap yeah yeah [01:58] right no it's jericho right it was a it was a city called jericho it [02:04] had walls up and they had to circle around the walls you know what i'm saying we came from a camp that we set [02:10] up called gilgal at that camp we ended up circumcising all the men you know i'm [02:16] saying that was above eight days and we sat there and then we rested then we went into jericho we circled it because [02:22] the most high god gave us instruction right and the priest blew the trumpet each time that we circled it and on the [02:27] seventh on on the seventh day we circled it seven times right and the priest blew the trumpet and they [02:34] did a long blow remember then what happened after that that last [02:40] that last time they circled and they blew the trumpet what happened as a result [02:45] the walls came right on down then what happened as a result after that we saw the walls come down what did we do [02:52] we ran right straight up didn't the book say just go straight up into it right we went straight up into them we started [02:57] getting it then when we went in there there were one individual that we made a league with or we made an uh we made an [03:03] agreement with what was her name [03:10] what did it start with a you say a2 [03:16] e okay oh y'all wrong it it started with the r it was rehab [03:22] no you were e boy right you got rahab right so rahab was in [03:28] there and rahab she remember why did ray have why did she have an agreement with us what did she do for us [03:35] who remembered him [03:41] yeah right remember we had two spies that ran up in there and then rahab was like you know [03:46] what i'm saying no i don't know where they were they went that way you know what i'm saying they went that away matter of fact if you start going now [03:52] you might catch them right and she hit us right she hit us under uh the flax remember we talked [03:57] about the flax she [04:02] it's kind of how you make silk right yeah so you lay this under the flat and [04:08] then you know what i'm saying we hit after that we told the people you know i'm saying like i don't know where they went [04:13] right then so we made an agreement with her we told her if you hang this red rope over your window we'll save [04:20] everybody in your house anybody who in your house ain't got nothing to do with a blood on their own head right so we did that when we ran into the wall [04:27] we made sure we saved rahab just like our agreement said right so then what was one of the rules that [04:33] the most high god had for us when we went into jericho what did he ask us to do when we went [04:40] into jericho were we to kill the men only and save the women [04:46] we got to kill everybody right what could we take out of out of uh [04:52] out of jericho no we could take something what [04:57] could we take the spoil [05:04] what could we take could we take the gold and the silver [05:09] where did it have to go [05:16] to the to the to the tabernacle right so the gold and silver had to go be dedicated to god it could go to the [05:23] tabernacle everything else had to be destroyed or we just couldn't take it [05:29] it was what it was the accursed thing that's very good right it would be cursed if we took [05:34] anything else right so that's what we're gonna pick up we ran into jericho we killed everybody [05:41] feels like we did our job we happy about it we excited because in our minds there are no way on our own that we should [05:47] have been able to take out these people right in our mind this is an impossible thing in no way these people bigger than [05:53] us they got wall the wall just come down we get them they all scared of us right and our mind is no way we are supposed [05:59] to be able to do that we just walking through a darn desert moseying along right what [06:12] well yeah she's in she did live in the wall so that's a good observation but the book didn't tell us that the wall [06:17] came down i heard part of it right so i like to imagine that you know i'm saying the wall came down except for [06:23] perhaps her part you know what i'm saying and we run in there and we youngs and we help her out or i like to imagine maybe not literally all of the wall came [06:30] down little pieces of the wall came out made openings for us to go through you know what i'm saying but the bible [06:35] wasn't all that detailed about that piece of it okay well let's go ahead and uh let's go [06:42] ahead and pick up where we uh leave all i think chapter seven is where we are now yeah [06:48] this is uh joshua chapter seven verse one let's see what the book say but the children of israel committed a [06:54] trespass in the cursed theme for aiken the son of karma the son of zabday the son of zerah of the tribe of [07:01] judah took of the accursed thing and the anger of the lord was kindled against the children of israel so when they say [07:07] when the book say uh aitkin took of the accursed thing what is he talking about [07:12] what are we talking about the accursed thing you had it [07:19] anything that we wasn't supposed to take becomes the accursed thing so we took of the accursed thing right [07:26] the whole city was accursed that's why that's why the most high god devoted it to destruction by our hand [07:32] so anything that we take that wasn't appropriate right and we didn't do the appropriate thing with it that becomes [07:37] an accursed thing right so it's giving us a little bit of backstory just letting us know oh yeah [07:43] aiken you know what i'm saying he took a think of this as narration right you ever watch a movie and you got [07:49] somebody talking maybe like morgan freeman you know what i'm saying he's just talking and he talking to you you know what i'm saying and it was a [07:55] beautiful sunny day yeah i'm saying you know they just kind of give you backstory about what's going [08:00] on that's kind of what this is it's giving you some narration letting you know what's about to happen now what [08:05] we're about to read they don't necessarily know what's going on in the moment [08:10] right they don't they don't know they don't necessarily know what's going on in the moment right [08:16] but the book is giving us a backstory about why things are about to play out the way they're playing out so let's [08:21] keep going watch this [08:27] that's right forbidden items it's out of peace sharon and the anger of the lord was kindled against the children of [08:32] israel so joshua sent men from jericho to ai which is beside beth aven on the [08:38] east side of bethel on the east side of bethel and speaking to them saying go up and view the [08:44] country and the men went up and viewed ai and they returned to joshua and said unto him let not all the people go up [08:50] but let about two or three thousand men go up and smite ai and make not all the people to labor there for they are but [08:57] few all right so he went up we looked at listen imagine how we feeling [09:03] we just took out one of the the strongest cities jericho right we took them out and it wasn't really [09:10] hard work for us so then we come out we lied what's the next city around here oh a.i [09:16] go check out ayo real quick you know i'm just gonna go see what they're talking about over there over here you want us to go out there uh [09:22] hey uh you know to joseph fire you know i'm saying why don't you come with me you know what i'm saying so we go yeah and then we just [09:27] start walking we're going to a guy you know i'm saying we cocky could we just you know say we just whoop these boys out see a guy talking about you know [09:33] what i'm saying we throwing rocks around all the way you know i'm saying on the way there that we get there that's it that ain't even that big let's run up in [09:40] there and just see you know i'm gonna see what we're dealing with we go in there and we peep it out that's a lightweight lightweight so we [09:46] come back and we give report back to joshua guess what we say we don't even need everybody that's [09:52] great you know what i'm saying jericho this big we took everybody here made quick work of them [09:58] give me give me two three thousand people with we'll knock that off real quick you know the easy money two three [10:04] thousand people how many people is is ready for war for us hundreds of thousands it's like 800 000 [10:10] people 800 000 people that's a lot of people [10:16] right eight hundred thousand people ready for war then [10:21] they like nah i am saying just give me give me two three thousand people you know i'm saying we'll get this done [10:27] right so let's see what joshua gonna need for you sorry bro [10:36] so there went up there of the people about three thousand men and they fled before the men of ai uh-huh and the men [10:42] of ai smoked them about thirty and six men but they chased them from before the gate even to shabayran [10:48] and smote them in the going down wherefore the hearts of the people melted and became his water [10:54] and joshua ripped his clothes and fell to the earth upon his face before the ark of the lord until eventide so now [10:59] you see what just happened right we go up there we like yeah two three thousand people you know i'm saying [11:05] we'll get the job done no problem we end up going out there and guess what happened they whooped us out [11:11] right they went up there they beat us up they chased us away how do you think we feel after that right we was nervous at [11:18] first most high guys show us a couple of miracles we walk into jericho with a high we like god got us god actually do [11:25] have us the wall come down we take out jericho now we're feeling good we [11:31] feeling confident we go up we like we only need two three thousand people for this we go up there with two three [11:37] thousand people the ai whoop us out we had no expectation that this was [11:42] going to happen but they beat us and so we have to run and retreat [11:48] how do you think we feel as a people after we do that oh man what happens to our confidence [11:53] maybe uh maybe we're not cut off it's gone we don't have that same level of confidence now right now we nervous now [12:01] we feel alone now we feel like god ain't with us because we know the only reason this is working because god was with us [12:07] right now we nervous now we feel like god ain't with us so watch what joshua do in response [12:15] and he and the elders of israel put dust upon their heads uh-huh and joshua said alas o lord god why have you [12:22] at all brought this people over jordan to deliver us into the handy the amorites to destroy us right so he when [12:27] he looked at the most like guy he look mother guy let me ask you a question why in the world would you bring us over [12:33] to jordan and put us in the mid listen we are in dangerous territory [12:40] that's the part like we got to understand like just imagine like like going into another country [12:46] with a whole bunch of people that they all pretty much together and you gonna come there and they all [12:52] gonna team up against you it's cool as long as i know i got god on my side but now you just let these [12:59] people whoop me out you know how that's gonna spread these people gonna beat up be on us like [13:05] shark in the water right so we looking at it like why in the world josh we're looking at like why [13:11] in the world would you bring us over the jordan just to set us up to die [13:18] right watch the most like god you got to always pay attention whenever people ask the most high god a question in the [13:23] bible you always got to pay attention to the answer right so let's read joshua's [13:28] question again and let's see exactly what joshua's asking and let's see how the most high god responds to it [13:39] i wish to god we have been content and dwelt on the other side of the jordan right joshua looking like it'll make no [13:45] sense we even crossed the door it's a whole lot of land over there we could have been you know what god i [13:52] think we got too greedy you know that's what he look he praying i look you got to appreciate a true man [13:58] of god true man of god going to pray exactly with how you feel and what he's thinking he's talking to god he like god why [14:04] would you even bring us over here to set us up matter of fact i wish we would have been [14:10] content on the other side because there was enough land over there we could have all survived over there i know you promised this to our father [14:17] but it wasn't that big of a deal we could have got the land that we already had [14:23] we should have been content watch this oh lord what shall i say when israel turns their backs before their enemies [14:29] right he looked like how am i supposed to encourage these people i've been telling them most high god with you he [14:34] ain't gonna leave you he ain't gonna forsake you i've been telling these people that then they turn their back i'm occurring i'm [14:41] what i'm gonna tell what you want me to tell him now that you kind of with him you with him sometimes what would you do [14:47] he's mad he's looking like god why would you do that what am i supposed to do with this watch this [14:52] for the canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land shall hear of it in veer and shalt [14:57] around environment us round right the only reason these people were scared remember [15:02] we went to jericho and they were scared of us there wasn't it ray i told you they're like man these people scared they shaking in their darn boots [15:09] right they were scared of us when we uh faced the uh the king of uh scion [15:15] king sion and king ogg they was all scared excuse me they were all scared of us edom was scared of us [15:22] eden was so scared like man you getting closer we gotta fight right everybody was scared [15:28] so they looking like he joshua was looking like what am i going to do [15:33] when everybody start hearing about ai whoop this out and what do we know about ai they're [15:40] small they small people be looking like hey i'm a child [15:46] well i wish they would come over our side i wish these boys would come this way [15:52] i'm gonna light these darn israelites i don't know what they probably mean they let ayotte [15:57] i wish they would bring your butt across these borders if you want to right that's how they thinking about it [16:03] so now joshua just imagined like oh man they probably they probably at conference right now teaming up against [16:10] us talking about oh if you get this many people and put them in this situation they gonna die so joshua freaking out [16:16] watch them keep going so we asking god these questions what and cut off our name from the earth and [16:22] what will you do unto thy great name and the lord said to joshua get thee up why are you lying why liest thou thus [16:29] upon thy face did the most hot guy answer his question no he has a yes look joshua asked a [16:35] bunch of questions i wish we would have been content why you bring us over here what you want me [16:42] to say what you gonna do with your name right he asked him a whole bunch of questions [16:47] get what the most high god response was to him get up and why are you waiting on your face get your butt up why are you [16:53] doing laying down on your darn face you look darn ridiculous [16:59] he's in there looking like boy you're freaking out over there you look darn ridiculous then watch what he say to him [17:04] next israel has sinned and they have also transgressed my covenant which i commanded them for they have even taken [17:11] of the accursed thing and have also stolen and dis and disassembled also dissembled also [17:17] and they have put it even amongst their own stuff therefore the children of israel could not stand before their [17:22] enemies but turn their backs before their enemies because they were a curse neither will i be with you anymore [17:27] except you destroy the curse from among you right so he's looking at most like god listening to joshua just going [17:33] running his mouth about all this though i can't believe you did this god you got to put me over here and then why didn't [17:39] we just stay over there and all that stuff i was like guys are you done yet get your butt up you look darn [17:45] ridiculous it's real courage boy that's the only thing that happened [17:51] you just take the cursed thing you know i'm saying get it out from among you and i'll be with you again you know you don't do that and i ain't gonna be with [17:57] you ain't that what i told you i told you all that already [18:03] right who consulted me before y'all went to ai [18:08] right ain't nobody stop and be like hey y'all i'm saying that it guy is that the one [18:13] i was like i may have told him he made it to him like no i ain't it hey there's somebody you know somebody over here wild he better figure it out [18:19] you know that ain't it right there but no we went up there started searching stuff out trying to figure it [18:25] out right so the most i got used as a teachable moment get your butt up why [18:31] don't you relax calm down so let's see how joshua won't handle that [18:38] therefore the children of israel could not stand before their enemies but turn their backs before their enemies because they were a curse right when the books [18:45] say turn your back before your enemy i mean we are running you know yeah yeah i'm saying you're messing with [18:50] somebody you start running you're back at them you know you turn your back to them watch this keep going neither will [18:56] i be with you anymore except you destroy the curse from among you up sanctify the people and say sanctify yourselves [19:03] against tomorrow what does sanctify me make yourself holy purify yourself clean set them apart [19:10] right make them different set them apart all right clean them up keep going [19:15] for thus says the lord god of israel there isn't a curse thing in the midst of thee o israel you cannot stand before [19:22] your enemies until you take away their cursed thing from among you that's right in the morning therefore you shall be brought according to your tribes and it [19:28] shall be that the tribe which the lord takes shall come according to the families thereof and the family which [19:34] the lord shall take shall come by household in the household which the lord shall take shall come man by man [19:39] and it shall be that he that is taken with the accursed things shall be burnt with fire he and all that [19:45] he has because he has transgressed the covenant of the lord and because he has wrought folly in israel right so what [19:51] they ended up doing is casting lots and you know i'm saying it's not exactly clear to me at least you know i'm saying [19:57] exactly what lots are but think of it like uh think of it like the concept of like drawing straws or dice or something [20:03] like that right it's a it's a thing of chance right and you could choose you could use this thing a chance to choose between [20:10] sometimes one or two objects you know what i'm saying or multiple objects so what he's telling what the most like god [20:16] is describing is he's like what you're going to do is you're going to take all the tribes and you're going to cast lots [20:22] to identify one of all the tribes and then you're going to take that one tribe and you're going to take all the clans [20:28] and you're going to identify one clan out of all the clans of that tribe then you're going to come to that one clan [20:34] and you're gonna take all the families and you're gonna identify one family of all that clan [20:39] and then you're gonna end up getting to a head of the household and that's gonna be the individual that by chance you [20:45] just casting lots or drawing straws or whatever and it's coming down to one person and then you go another level [20:50] lower and you keep doing that until you identify the person who uh who's gonna be held responsible for this so let's [20:57] see how joshua will carry out this order yeah and it shall be oh so joshua rose up early in the morning [21:03] and brought israel by their tribes and the tribe of judah was taken and he brought the family of judah and he took the family of the zell rights [21:09] and he brought the family of the tsar heights man by man zab dye was taken [21:15] and he brought his household man by man and aiken the son of carmi the son of zabdai the son of zerah this of the [21:21] tribe of judah was taken right and so now you had achin that ended up being taken so then joshua was looking like [21:27] okay so hey can you the man huh so watch what joshua would say to him joshua don't even want to waste no time watch it joshua said unto aiken my son give i [21:35] pray thee the glory to the lord god of israel and make confession unto him and tell me now what you have done hide it [21:42] not from me and they can answer that's what he did he said he thought he was like boy you're darn busted [21:48] right you go ahead and tell the truth now you know what i'm saying and give god god give god the glory [21:55] right because otherwise this is what happened the reason why he said give god the glory because this is what happened the the process in which he was [22:01] identified was a miracle right the most high god caused that to happen [22:06] right all they doing is think of it as like rolling dice and if it hit a certain number [22:12] then that number belongs to an individual and you the one so you roll the dice like boom all right that's you [22:18] yeah i'm saying that's your that's your tribe then you roll the dice again okay that's your family okay bring all your [22:25] family here then you roll the dice again okay oh that's him and roll it again right roll it again [22:32] right that's your boy y'all say we got your household roll it again that's your boy [22:38] aiken that's your boy atlanta on aiken right so you're looking at that and it's like everybody looking at that you know [22:44] what they'll say you ain't did nothing but don't roll some darn dice that thing is by 10 you out here [22:50] gambling right now joshua would know that so now if joshua if you go if if aiken [22:57] denied it if egg is like man that thing got nothing to do with me everybody's gonna be looking at this [23:03] like man he ain't even a one you know that we did all this stuff he ain't even a one [23:10] right and that takes the glory away from what god is doing so without what he tell him is he's like [23:16] listen just give god the glory you don't say let's not get listen boy don't even waste no time you bust it all right [23:23] don't waste no darn time give god the glory show everybody that god chose you outright [23:28] right then god gets the glory for this situation so watch it [23:35] and they could answer joshua and said indeed i have sinned against the lord god of israel and thus i have done [23:41] when i saw among the spoils of goodly babylonious babylonious garment and 200 [23:46] shekels of silver and a wedge of gold of 50 shekels weight then i coveted them [23:52] and i took them and behold they are hidden in the earth in the midst of my tent and the silver under it [23:58] so joshua sent messengers and they ran unto the tin and behold it was hidden in his tent in the silver under it so he [24:04] checked out what he said and what do you got exactly what he said he stole the gold [24:09] and the silver the stuff that was supposed to be dedicated to the most hot guy that wasn't supposed to be here he [24:14] took it and he hit it in this darn tent right let's see what happened next [24:21] and they took them out of the midst of the ten and brought them unto joshua and unto the children of israel and laid them out before the lord [24:26] joshua and all israel with him took aiken the son of zera in the silver and the garment and the wedge of gold and [24:33] his sons and his daughters and his oxen and his donkeys and his sheep and his tent and all that he had and they [24:39] brought them onto the valley of acor so joshua said why have you troubled us the lord shall trouble you this day uh-huh [24:46] and all israel stoned him with stones and then what they do after that and burn them with fire right and first [24:52] thing they did they stoned them with stern stones and after that they burned them with fire [24:57] right keep going and burn them with fire and they had [25:02] after they had stoned them with stones uh-huh and they raised over him a great heap of stones unto this day so the lord [25:10] turned from the fierceness of his anger wherefore the name of that place is called the valley of acor unto this day [25:16] right so now aiken will from what tribe judah who else is from judah yoshua yeah [25:21] oh sure a can become a curse for the whole people didn't he yeah he did and by him taking on that curse and the [25:27] punishment of that curse what happened with the people they'll say [25:32] who do you think they're talking about aiken talking about y'all [25:37] whole book talking about y'all sure right yoshua became a part of the cursed thing [25:43] for us right for our salvation and when he was when he was strung up on [25:49] the cross and then put put inside you know i'm saying put inside of a tomb you know what i'm saying and it rolls on [25:56] the third day through that came our salvation right [26:01] through that that prepares us in the future to take on ai right [26:07] let's keep going and the lord said unto joshua fear not neither be dismayed take all the people [26:13] of war with you and arise and go up to ai see i have given him into your hand the king [26:19] the king of ai and his people and his city in his land now watch how many people we take with us this time and you [26:25] shall do to ai and her king as you did unto jericho and her king only the spoil [26:30] thereof and the cattle thereof shall you take for a prey unto yourselves lay thee an ambush for the city behind it right [26:36] so now the difference with ai is he said we can take the spoil for ourselves here [26:43] so when we get to ai we can take their stuff whatever they got we can have it right keep going so joshua rose and all [26:50] the people of war to go up against ai and joshua chose out 30 000 mighty men of valor and sent them away by night and [26:57] he commanded them saying behold you shall lie in wait against the city even behind the city go not very far from the [27:03] city but be already and i and all the people that are with with me [27:10] will approach into the city and it shall come to pass when they come out against us at the first that we will flee before [27:16] them for they will come out after us until we have drawn them from the city for they will say they flee before us as at the [27:23] first therefore we will flee before them right so now naturally [27:28] we got whooped out by these boys so you guess what we don't want to do we don't want to take the boy's head up [27:35] right we're not we're not interested in necessarily going head up with them we know we got whooped out with them [27:41] already so josh was like you know what we going to do boy you know what i'm about [27:46] we're going to go up there i want y'all to go over there and hide [27:52] right so we take a big group of warriors and we hide off to the side then we take [27:57] another group and we gonna go as if we had going ahead up with him the last time we went ahead up with him what [28:03] happened he loves and what what did we end up doing as a result we ran away we ran right [28:09] so he's saying we're gonna go up to these boys and act like we're gonna head up then guess what we gonna do [28:15] we're gonna run away just like we did before and what they gonna do [28:20] they gonna chase us and then the boys that we got hiding over here what they gonna do [28:26] they gonna go sneak in take some stuff over the ones that's running away gonna turn around be like [28:32] ah just kidding fight them and then we're gonna take the place right so let's see how our play out [28:39] and that shows and it shall be when they have taken the city that you shall set the city on fire according to the [28:45] commandment of the lord shall you do see i have commanded you and joshua therefore sent them forth and they went [28:51] to lie in ambush in a bowl between bethel and ai on the west side of ai but joshua lodged that night among the [28:57] people and joshua rose up early in the morning and numbered the people and went up in the elders of israel before the [29:04] people of ai and all the people even the people of war that were with him went up and drew near and came before the city [29:10] and pitched on the north side of ai okay now there was a valley between them and ai and he took about 5 000 men and set [29:16] them to lie and ambushed between bethel and ai on the west side of the city right so he took 5 000 men and they put [29:23] him in ambush in other words they hit them so that they can you know i'm saying they can jump out at them right so they put the other ones in but 5 000 [29:30] of them what else and when they had set the people even all the hosts that was on the north of [29:37] the city in their in their liars in weight on the west side of the city joshua went that night [29:43] into the midst of the valley and it came to pass when the king of ai saw it that they hasted and rose up early in the men [29:49] of the city went out against israel to battle he and all his people at a time appointed before the plane [29:56] but he was not that there was liars and ambushed against him behind the city and joshua and israel made as if they [30:03] were beaten before them and fled by the way of the wilderness so they started running watch this and all the people [30:08] that were in ai were called together to pursue after them and they pursued after joshua and were drawn away from the city [30:15] and there was not a man left in ai or bethel that went not out after israel and they left the city open and pursued [30:21] after israel right so they left the city everybody left all the men left that was ready for war yeah all right left the [30:27] city open and then what else and the lord said unto joshua stretch out the spear that is in thy hand toward ai for [30:34] i will give it into thy hand and joshua stretched out the spear that he had in his hand toward the city and the ambush [30:40] arose quickly out of their place and they ran as soon as he had stretched out his hand and they entered into the city [30:45] and took it and hasted and set the city on fire and when the men of ai looked behind them they saw and behold the smoke of [30:51] the city is send it up to heaven right so the men of ai they were chasing out there they chasing after one group of [30:57] israelites they you know they started noticing this smoke coming from they city they turn around look what happened [31:03] they had no power to flee this way or that way and the people that fled into the wilderness turned back upon the [31:09] pursuers and when joshua and all israel saw that the ambush had taken the city [31:14] and that the smoke of the city ascended then they turned again and slew the men of ai right so after we after we saw [31:21] like oh okay they already got done with the city huh we stopped running away turned around then we started you know [31:26] said we started fighting ai and we killed them right watch this and the other issued out of the city [31:32] against them so they were in the midst of israel some on this side and some on that side and they smote them so that [31:38] they let none of them remain or escape and the king of ai they took alive and brought him to joshua and it came to [31:44] pass when israel had made an end of slaying all the inhabitants of ai in the field in the wilderness where they [31:50] chased them and when they were all falling on the edge of the sword until they were consumed that all the israelites returned the ai and smote it [31:56] with the edge of the sword and so it was that after that after that after all that fell that day both men and women [32:04] were 12 000 even all the men of ai but joshua drew not his hand back where with [32:09] he stretched out the spear until he had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of ai only the cattle and the spoil of the [32:15] city israel took for prey unto themselves according to the word of the lord which he commanded joshua [32:20] and joshua burned ai and made it a heap forever even a desolation until this day in the king of ai he hanged on a tree [32:27] until eventide and as soon as the sun was down joshua commanded that they should take his carcass down from the [32:33] tree and cast it in the entering of the gate of the city and raise thereon a great heap of stones that remains until [32:38] this day then joshua built an altar unto the lord god of israel at mount ebal right so you [32:45] remember the the altar at mount ebal right remember moses told us he said listen he said it's gonna be two [32:52] mountains you know i'm saying you're gonna put half the tribe on this mountain has to drive on the other mountain right he commanded that we do [32:59] this once we get into the land he said once you do that you put an altar of stones what type of stones [33:06] regular stoves unhume stones unhealed so you can't touch these dark stones right you can't [33:13] put no tool against them can't shape them can't do nothing to them you build an altar out of those stones and then [33:18] you make a sacrifice right so this is what joshua's doing he's following the commandment that moses laid for from us [33:25] now that he's in the land right we had two places that we got rid of the first one was what [33:32] uh jericho jericho then the next one is now what a.i so we got rid of these two places [33:38] which opens up enough of the land for us to get to e-ball so we can keep this commandment [33:43] right so now that's what we're about to do watch this [33:49] as moses the servant of the lord commanded the children of israel as it is written in the book of the law of moses an altar of whole stones over [33:56] which no man has lift up any iron and they offered their own burnt offerings unto the lord and sacrificed peace [34:01] offerings and he wrote there upon the stones a copy of the law of moses which he wrote in the presence of the children [34:07] of israel you know israel and their elders and officers and their judges stood on this side of the ark on that side before the [34:13] priests and levites which bear the ark of the covenant of the lord as as well as well the stranger as he that was born [34:21] among them half of them over against mount gerazim and half over the amount of ebal [34:27] as moses the servant of the lord commanded before that they should bless the people of israel and afterward he [34:32] read all the words of the law the blessings and the cursings according to all that is written in the book of the law there was not a word of all that [34:39] moses commanded that joshua read not before all the congregation of israel with the women and the little ones and [34:44] the strangers that were conversing among them right everybody was there even the kids [34:50] right the women the kids and the strangers and the men everybody was there and he read the whole law to him [34:56] right keep going and it came to pass [35:02] when all the kings which were on this side of jordan in the hills and in the valleys and in all the coasts of the great sea over against lebanon the [35:09] hittite amorite canaanite parasite the heavy and the jebusite heard thereof but [35:14] they gathered themselves together to fight with joshua and with israel with one accord when the inhabitants of gibeon heard [35:20] what joshua had done unto jericho and ai they did work within willie willie [35:26] and went and made as if they had been ambassadors and took old sacks upon their donkeys and wine bottles old and [35:33] ripped and bound up in old shoes and clouded upon their feet no garments upon [35:38] them and all the bread of their pro provision was dry and moldy and they went to joshua into the camp at [35:44] gilgal and said unto him and to the men of israel we become from a far country now therefore make a league with us [35:51] a league meaning an agreement right make a covenant or an agreement with us watch this and the men of israel said unto the [35:57] hivites prayer adventure you dwell among us how shall we make a league with you right they looking like perhaps you you i'm [36:04] saying perhaps you stay around here right what if you stay around here that won't make no sense that we're making an [36:09] agreement with you that's against our law right now the truth is they do stay right up [36:14] the way right if we pulled up a map let me see let me see if i can get a map that'll show it here [36:21] all right boom this is good this'll work so if we pull up a map and put it on the [36:26] screen here so [36:32] this is where we are right now uh this is where we just took over ai we in gilgal you know i'm saying that's our [36:39] camp so every time that we we knock off jericho we go back to gilgal we knock off ai we go back to gilgal because our [36:46] camp is in gilgal so now the gibeonites are right up the way right over here [36:51] right what they trying to do is they trying to make it seem like they come from some very very very far away [36:58] country so they got beat up shoes molded bread to make it seem like oh man we've [37:04] been traveling for weeks and weeks and weeks to get to y'all right and so [37:09] we looking like per adventure you know i'm saying perhaps maybe y'all from around here how do we know that we can't [37:16] make no agreement with you if y'all from around here because the most hot guy specifically told us do not make an [37:21] agreement with anybody that come from this land right so they right up the way [37:27] we don't know exactly where they're coming from we're trying to figure it out so let's see what happens next [37:34] and the men of israel wait i'm sorry and they said unto joshua we are your servants and joshua said [37:40] unto them who are you and from where do you come and they said unto him from a very far [37:46] country your servants are come because of the name of yahuwah your god for we have heard of the fame of him and all [37:51] that he did in egypt and all that he did to the two kings of the amorites that were beyond the jordan [37:57] to saihong king of heshbon and all king of bashan which was asteroth which was that asteroid [38:04] wherefore our elders and our inhabitants of our country spoke to us saying take rituals with you for the journey and go [38:10] meet them and say to them we are your servants therefore now make a league with us this is our bread we took hot [38:17] for our provision out of our horses out of our houses on the day we came forth [38:23] to go unto you but now behold it is dry and it is moldy and these bottles of wine which were [38:29] filled were new and behold they be ripped and these our garments and our shoes are become old by [38:36] reason of the very long journey and the men took of their victuals and asked not counsel at the mouth of the lord right [38:43] so we ended up buying a story they told man we came from very very far they even give us a name very very far away play [38:51] let me tell you something man oh man so far look at the bread when we got it that bread was hot right off the press [38:57] now it's all old and moldy you know what i'm about they look like oh man look at that wine right here look the wine bag [39:04] all ripped and toe up spilt you know that what you want us to do [39:10] we come from a very far away place so us without consulting the most high god about this situation we're the lie [39:17] yeah i'm saying well you mentioned yahuwah you know somebody you said yahuwah and you said you're gonna be our [39:22] servants all right y'all saying it'd be peace then because that was the conditions of pete if we [39:28] were gonna make peace with the nation they would have to position themselves in service to us [39:34] so we're looking at it like well that's our law you come a very far away place that's what our law say [39:39] and you have to be our servant and that's what you offering in that case is peace [39:45] it's peace right it's legal for us to do this but we didn't consult the most high god [39:50] on it so now we end up being tricked watch this and joshua made peace with him and made a league with them to let [39:55] them live and the princes of the congregation swear unto them and it came to pass at the end of three days after [40:01] they had made a league with them that they heard that they were the their neighbors and that they dwelt among them [40:06] and the children of israel journeyed and came into their cities on the third day now their cities were gibeon and kirif [40:13] kefira and biroth and kyrieth yarim and the children of israel smote them not [40:19] because the princes of the congregation swore unto them by the lord god of israel and all the congregation mermaid [40:24] against the princes right so now what happened was we dealing with these [40:29] boys we make the league it was like okay we ain't gonna mess with y'all then we go out and we say all right what's the [40:35] next city we gonna take so as you can see on the map we take jericho first let me get to make [40:42] the map big here so we ended up taking uh jericho first which is over here [40:48] it's covered by this let me see if i can move that you know saying we'll move we'll move us [40:53] to the other side so you got jericho first which is right here then we took ai we go back to gilgal to rest now it's [41:00] time to find the next city well the next city on the list for us is gibeon so gideon's right here and this is exactly [41:07] where these people was coming from so when we get to gibeon and we're looking like all right well you know what i'm [41:13] saying gideon is next let's take it we find out oh this is the same people we just made this agreement with that we [41:20] wouldn't kill them so us we being superstitious about our [41:25] word right if you give your word you got to stay with it even if you got tricked into it if that wasn't if that wasn't [41:32] part of the contract right if the contract didn't have set up in a condition [41:37] right that's why when you hear god say when god talk he got conditions he'll be like if you continue to do this [41:45] in perpetuity you know something about then i would do that most like god always got the conditions so we made an [41:52] agreement and we didn't put the proper conditions in it to say assuming that you truly are for from far [41:58] away and assuming that you young not lying about this we will uphold our end of the deal [42:04] if you look at rahab we made the proper conditions well ray had really like listen you hang this out your window if you do [42:11] that and if everybody is in here and if your butt don't tell on us [42:17] right it's good has she done any of those things wrong then we would have looked at her ab like that blood is on [42:23] you they ain't got it you're getting killed with everybody else that's on you they ain't got nothing to do with us [42:28] right because those are the conditions joshua when he made this this uh agreement with these people [42:35] he didn't make those conditions he just said we won't kill you right you know our law you got to keep [42:41] your vows you have to keep that vow you don't have the proper conditions to break that vow [42:46] so now they come to this city gibeon they ready to go but the princess is like the [42:52] rulers they look like no no no can't do it no these are the same people that we [42:57] just made an agreement with catch the books what we say to these boys it's right here we said we weren't going [43:04] to kill them that they would be our servant yeah but they lied to [43:10] we didn't say that they couldn't lie we messed up so then all the people how you think they looking at the leaders [43:16] now i mean which all of them did you idiots most like guys specifically told us [43:23] don't make an agreement with these people around here so they all murmured against the rulers [43:29] watch it keep going [Music] [43:37] but all the princes said unto all the congregation we have sworn unto them by the lord god of israel now therefore we [43:42] may not touch them this we will do to them we will even let them live lest wrath be upon us because of the oath [43:49] which we swear unto them and the princes said unto them let them live but let them be huge of wood and [43:54] drawers of water until all the congregation and the princes as the princes had promised them and joshua [44:01] called for them then he and spake unto them saying why have you beguiled us saying we are [44:07] very far from you when you dwell among us now therefore you are cursed and there shall none of [44:12] you be freed from being bond men and heroes of wood and draws of water for the house of my god [44:18] and they answered joshua and said because it was certainly told your servants how that yahuwah your god [44:23] commanded the servant moses to give you all the land and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from before you [44:29] therefore we were sore afraid of our lives because of you and have done this thing and now [44:34] behold we are in thine hand as it seems good and right unto you to do unto us [44:40] do and so did he unto them and delivered them out of the hand of the children of israel that they slew them not and [44:47] joshua made them that day hews of wood and drawers of water for the congregation and for the author of the lord even unto this day in the place [44:54] which he should choose right now what do we think about gibeon wasn't smart [45:00] hey look at look what they looking at is we have been judged and way better to be a servant of the [45:06] most high god than the dead man we have been judged we know what's coming to us [45:13] we know that we about to die that's it so now if there is any way out of this [45:19] even if that means me being a servant to y'all that's a better option for me [45:26] so he said look we gonna trick y'all into this deal we don't make ourselves look at [45:31] something that's acceptable to you and then guess what we're going to do as a result [45:36] we'll put ourselves into your hands and you do whatever it seems good [45:42] that's the heart that we supposed to have for the most high god if we go to we ain't got to get it but [45:48] if we go to john chapter 3 verse 18 i think it is it'll tell us [45:55] we have already been condemned we have already been judged the mosaic guy has already judged us and determined that [46:02] everybody got to die our perspective should be well sheesh [46:08] how do i make myself look acceptable to mozart to the most i got so i can make [46:13] an agreement with him and even if that agreement means that i'm going to be his servant that's [46:21] better than death [46:26] but that's not the mind that a lot of us have the mind we got you know we got some imagination that we can just come [46:32] and make it up on our way and we gonna survive right we got this imagination that you know [46:39] what we can take on the army of god and somehow we gonna make it through [46:46] rude awakening it ain't happening right [46:52] just the way that they covered their self in old clothes and got molded bread and and ripped uh wine skins in the same [47:00] way that we got to cover ourselves in the blood of yahweh sure we got to cover ourselves with his skin [47:06] and with his likeness and his behavior so that way when we approach the most high god the most high god look at us [47:11] and he say all right i can make a deal with you where you from [47:17] i can make a deal with you right all i need you to do is serve me [47:23] and then you know we'd be like yeah man no problem we're served but if we walk up to the most high guy looking like us [47:29] oh please man kill you on a darn spot can't even stand in the man presence [47:35] what do you think this is about you think this you think this is about gibeon they don't have nothing to do with give [47:40] me this talking about yahoo show the whole book talking about y'all sure right keep going watch this [47:50] now it came to pass when adonai zedek king of jerusalem had heard now had heard how joshua had [47:57] taken ai and utterly destroyed it as he had done the jericho and her king so he had done the ai in her king and how the [48:04] inhabitants of gibeon had made peace with israel and were among them but they feared greatly [48:09] because gibeon was a great city as one of the royal cities and because it was greater than ai and on them and all the [48:16] men thereof were mighty wherefore king of jerusalem sent unto ho hohem [48:22] king of hebron and unto pyram king of jeremiah and unto jafia king of lakish [48:29] and unto dieber king of eglon saying come up unto me and help me that we may smite gibeon for it has made peace with [48:35] joshua and with the children of israel right so now the king of uh the king of jerusalem you know i'm saying that boy [48:42] that boy is a hater he looking like you telling me that gibby so gideon is a [48:48] bad that's a big these ain't no chumps gideon ain't no chumps so what he's [48:54] looking at here okay these boys already took out jericho and then boy took out ai [49:00] and you mean to tell me gibeon who probably had a chance at fighting them they just made peace with these boys and [49:07] joined them i know that's wrong look he started calling all that boy so he called a [49:12] couple nations right he called libna [49:18] uh lakish elgon uh he called uh [49:24] the beer in hebron and and then he's jerusalem himself right so all lead countries [49:32] you're right they join together there's five of them all together and guess where they're about to go [49:37] read it watch it therefore the five kings of the amorites [49:42] the king of jerusalem the king of hebron the king of jeremiah [49:48] the king of lakeish the king of eglon gathered themselves together and they went up oh no not lit i said libna it's [49:53] not libna it's uh jeremiah right not living as jeremiah right so [49:59] keep going when they went up they and all their hosts and encamped before gibeon and made war against it uh-huh [50:04] and the men of gibeon sent out to joshua to the camp of gilgal saying snap slack not thy hand from thy [50:11] servants come up to us quickly and save us and help us for all the kings of the amorites that dwell in the mountains are [50:16] gathered together against us right so the the kings of the amorites they came together all those five kings that we [50:23] just talked about they came together not to attack the israelites they said man we about to kill these traitors [50:30] these boys gonna make peace with the enemy they coming over there they just knocked off jericho and ai they already killed [50:37] king sihon on the other side and they killed king og on the other side these boys gonna mess around trying to [50:43] kill us off are you gonna make peace with these boys man we about to go out there and we gonna take on gibby now gibeon's bad boy [50:50] so he knew he had to get five of them boys to take on gibeon right so he go up there and he tried to [50:57] take on gibeon gibby and start freaking out like whoa all these boys coming out there we might [51:02] take one or two of them though but all five of them no man you gotta save us from that we just made peace [51:09] with you we your servant ain't in your best interest to let us go like that right [51:15] so what israel do so joshua ascended from gilgal he and all the people of war with him and all [51:22] the mighty men of valor and the lord said unto joshua fear them not for i have delivered them into thine hand and [51:27] shall not a man of them stand before thee joshua therefore came unto them suddenly and went up from gilgal all night and [51:34] the lord discomforted them before israel and they slew them with a great slaughter at gibeon and chased them [51:40] along the way that goes up to beth horon and smote them to ezekiel and unto makita and it came to [51:47] pass as they fled from before israel and were in the going down of beth horon that the lord cast down great stones [51:54] from heaven upon upon them unto ezekiel what'd that sound like they died what did that sound like great stones from [52:00] heaven help [Music] [52:06] right big old rocks boy guy probably got hit by comets [52:13] [Music] right you got stones coming from that you it got stones coming from the sky [52:20] that media shower yeah that boy probably got hit with comments he was running you got a big old stone [52:26] now rocks you know what they talk about big old stones coming from bow bow and then start killing these boys watch the [52:33] book say about it watch this look we was fighting these boys you gotta pay attention what they were just saying we was fighting them we met him at gibeon [52:40] and we was fighting them them boys ran in several cities after we fought them again we just chasing them out of cities [52:47] right then as they got so far then they just started getting hitting with stones out [52:52] of the sky right what does the book say about it [52:58] [Music] they died there were more which died with hailstones than they whom the [53:04] children of israel slew with the sword right it's translated as hailstones but when you look up the hebrew word it's [53:10] just stones right the translator put hailstones but it's really just stones [53:17] it didn't say hell right there's a hebrew word for hell yeah this this ain't it that ain't just say stones [53:23] so now you got stones coming from the sky out of nowhere y'all say hit me boy and the books say listen we we we got at [53:31] them boys now but a lot more than boys that died from their stone that would die from us [53:36] and we was chasing these boys we chasing them right we they getting away from us stones got him though [53:42] right keep going watch this then speak joshua unto the lord in the day when the lord delivered up the amorites before [53:47] the children of israel so now joshua had to speak to you who watched it and he said in the sight of israel sons stand [53:53] out stand out still upon gibeon and thou moon in the valley of aegelon [53:58] and the sun stood still and the moon stayed until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies it's not [54:04] just written in the book of jasher so the sun stood still in the midst of heaven and did not to go down about a [54:10] whole day and there was no day like it that before it or after it no day like [54:16] that before it or after it that the lord hearkened unto the voice of a man for the lord fought for israel and joshua [54:22] returned in all israel with him unto the camp of gilgal but these five kings fled [54:27] and hid themselves in a cave at makita right it was told joshua was saying the five kings are found head in the cave of [54:33] makita and joshua said roll great stones upon the mouth of the cave and set set men by it for to keep them right so [54:41] we look at joshua joshua looking like we about to lose daylight so it ain't like now where it's like okay yeah turn on [54:47] the car you know i'm saying the car headlights and or or turn on the light outside or no [54:53] they in the middle you know i'm saying they chasing people through through through land you know i'm saying through mountains and through hills and plains [54:59] and all that stuff valleys so it's dark dark it ain't no street lights it ain't no it's dark so if it gets dark [55:07] i don't want to be out here fighting when people got weapons and swords and all that stuff you had a disadvantage [55:13] i want to we want to go ahead up in the daytime so what joshua did is knowing that it's about to get dark joshua said [55:20] yeah most like god go ahead and you know i'm saying make the moon and the sun stay in their place [55:26] right and the most i gotta listen to joshua the book say you know i'm saying it wasn't a day like it where most like [55:31] god listened to a man like that you know i'm saying joshua was like nah just you know i'm saying why don't you understand make it make it stay daytime and he said [55:38] man it was a day for about a whole another day so in other words you take a 12 hour period here like you know i'm [55:43] saying it was about an extra 12 hours you know i'm saying that extended that whatever day whatever time of the day [55:48] that it was it extended for about 12 hours with the sun out right [55:53] and so then joshua would use that opportunity to go ahead and continue to take out the enemy right then the kings [56:00] ran so the kings ran down they ran down here to makeda [56:06] let me see if i can blow this up a little bit so they ran down here to uh to makeda [56:12] where this green line is showing you so they ran right down here to makeda so now in makeda [56:19] that's where um that's where the kings found the cave so that's a city of itself makita got his [56:26] own king that lived there too but they went they found a king i mean a cave in makeda and then they all the five kings [56:33] they went in there and they hid themselves in that that cave so then what joshua said was okay that's [56:38] fine go ahead and seal them off right roll the stone over the cave what does [56:44] that sound like y'all sure y'all sure right didn't y'all she would get buried [56:51] and why did they roll the stole over the cave trouble because he was dead they trapped him in there [56:57] it because he is dead they put the stone and they had they put guards by it why yeah to make sure that [57:03] nobody came and tried to make up stories about him being alive whatever they look like everybody trying to make it say [57:09] that this man gonna resurrect i tell you what we're gonna put a stone by it to make sure nobody tried to come get his [57:16] body so what joshua would do it here he said these boys in there alive roll the stone [57:22] over it and he put guards we'll wait him out right oh the whole book testified y'all sure watch this [57:38] and stay you not but pursue after your enemies and smite to hind most of them suffer them not to enter into their [57:44] cities for the lord your god has delivered them into your hand and it came to pass when joshua and the children of israel had made an end of [57:50] slaying them with a very great slaughter until they were consumed that the rest which remained of them entered into [57:56] fenced cities and all the people returned to the camp uh to joshua at makita in peace none [58:03] moved his tongue against any of the children of israel then said joshua open the mouth of the cave and bring out those five kings unto [58:09] me out of the cave all right bring the kings out open them out for the king bring the kings out right watch this and [58:15] they did so and brought forth those five kings unto them out of the cave the king of jerusalem the king of hebron the king [58:21] of jeremiah the king of lakish and the kingdom king of eglot and it came to pass when they brought out the kings [58:26] unto joshua that joshua called for all the men of israel and said unto the captains of the men of war which went [58:32] with him come near put your feet upon the next of these kings put your feet upon the necks [58:37] of these kings watch this and they came near and put their feet upon the necks of them what did he just do [58:45] they put his feet on the neck he probably just made their enemies they [58:50] footstool y'all ever heard that before [58:56] right one of the prophecies to talk about y'all sure he said y'all said most high god says y'all sure [59:03] come and i will make your enemies your footstool [59:08] so that's what joshua just did he called he said yeah come over here and then put your feet on your neck [59:13] because joshua got the power right keep going watch this and joshua said unto them fear not nor be dismayed [59:20] be strong and of good courage for thus shall the lord do to all your enemies against whom you fight [59:26] and afterward joshua smote them and slew them and hang them over on five trees and they were hanging up on the cheese [59:32] until the evening they said they were doing what hanging on the trees until the evening who else hang from hung from [59:37] a tree until evening yo y'all sure right watch what happened and it came to [59:44] pass at the time of the going down of the sun that joshua commanded that they took them down off the trees and cast [59:49] them into the cave where they had been hit they got carried back where into the cave where they had been hit [59:56] and laid great stones in the cave's mouth which remain until this very day right and then they put stones over it [60:01] one was the king of what jerusalem one was the king of jerusalem [60:07] right keep going and that day joshua took makita and smote it with the edge of the sword and [60:12] the king thereof he utterly destroyed them and all the souls that were therein right he let none remain [60:19] so you have makita they was at the cave of makita joshua made a camp there he [60:24] sent the rest of the boys to go kill the rest of the the the armies that was [60:29] around with the king because remember the kings ran there with their armies right whoever was left over from their armies so he is like listen lock the [60:36] kings up i'ma say joshua stayed there y'all keep going joshua set up camp [60:42] y'all keep going they killed the rest of the boy they came back to joshua he lied remove the remove the stone youngster's [60:48] handley boy he hung him they hung until even he bring him down he put him back into the cave they did cool now he said [60:56] now we're in the cave of makita let's go to the city of makita while we're here we might as well take another darn city [61:02] right so they go to makita they kill all them boys and they kill the king [61:08] what else now y'all said we're gonna bring it back to the map because this this is the order that he about to go in [61:13] to get the rest of the uh the rest of the kings go ahead and keep reading so he's right here now he's in makita [61:20] well he's right here in makita you know what i'm saying so next one we got to go to libman let's see what the book said [61:25] when joshua passed from makita and all is israel with him until libna and fought against libna and the lord [61:31] delivered also the king thereof into the hand of israel and he smoted with the edge of the sword [61:37] and all the souls that were therein he let none remain in it but did unto the king thereof as he did unto the king of [61:42] jericho joshua passed from libna in all israel with him unto lakish and then camped [61:48] against it and fought against it so now we're in lakers so now this keeps going until we get to a place called the beer [61:55] skip on down for me and joshua returned in all israel with [62:00] with him to de beer he fought against it and he took it in the king thereof and all the cities thereof and they smote [62:06] them with the edge of the sword and utterly destroyed all the souls that were therein he left none remaining as he had done the hebron so he did to [62:14] dieber and to the king thereof as he had done also to libna and to her king so joshua [62:21] smote all the country of the hills and of the south and the veil and of the springs and uh all their kings he left [62:27] none remaining but utterly destroyed all that breathed as the lord god of israel commanded and joshua smote them from [62:33] kadesh barnea even unto gaza and unto the country of goshen even unto gibeon [62:38] and all these kings in their land did joshua take at one time because the lord god of israel fought for israel and [62:44] joshua returned in all israel with him unto the camp of to the camp [62:50] to gilgal right so you look at what's happening there and and and joshua ended up taking [62:57] much more cities than this and uh you know later on the book could tell us you know what i'm saying uh it'll kind of [63:03] recap all the cities that he took but what he did he start taking a whole bunch of territory and they doing this [63:09] in a matter of they taking like one day's rest and then going back at it and taking another so this is amazing what's [63:16] happening right these are whole fights that's happening the most i got is helping us take these people out he got [63:22] potentially meteors and all this you know so you got stones coming from the sky dropping down killing people on our [63:28] behalf right and so we're trying to get through it let's keep going watch watch what [63:33] happened what chapter is this 11. this is chapter 11 verse 1. what should the book say [63:40] and it came to pass when jaben king of hazor heard those things that he sent to jobab king of maidan and the king of [63:48] shimran and to the king of ash akshaf and to the kings that were on the north [63:53] of the mountains and of the plains of kinnaroth and in the valley of the borders of door on the [64:00] west and to the canaanite on the east and on the west into the amorite the hittite [64:05] parasite jebusite in the mountains into the hivite under hermon in the land of [64:10] mizpah and they went out they and all their hopes with the much people even as the [64:15] sanders upon the seashore and multitude were horses and chariots very many [64:21] and when all these kings were met together they came and pitched together in the waters of miram to fight against [64:27] israel so now again now we head up north [64:32] right and the kings of the north they tried to team together with us also [64:37] so they looking like all right you know what i'm saying let's go ahead and uh let's go ahead and uh you know go by the uh the waters of maram and then uh you [64:45] know what i'm saying let's uh let's see if we can take the boys out so all of them try to yongsan try to come there [64:50] and let's see what happens and when all these kings were met [64:56] together they came and pitched together the waters of marone to fight against israel and the lord said unto joshua be [65:01] not afraid because of them for tomorrow about this time will i deliver them deliver them up all slain before israel [65:08] you shall hold their horses and burn their chariots with fire so joshua came and [65:14] all the people of war with him against them by the waters of marom suddenly and they fell upon them and the lord [65:19] delivered them into the hand of israel who smote them and chased them unto uh chased them unto great zydon and unto [65:27] mizraf mein and onto the valley of mispay eastward and they smote them [65:32] until they left them none remaining and joshua did unto them as the lord bade him and he [65:38] and he hold their horses and burnt their cherries with fire and joshua at that time turned back and took hazor and [65:45] smote the king thereof with the sword for hazor before time was the head of all those kingdoms [65:52] and they smote all the souls that were therein with the edge of the sword utterly destroying them there was not [65:58] any left to breathe and he burnt hazor with fire and all the cities of those kings and all the kings of them did [66:04] joshua take and smote them with the edge of the sword and he utterly destroyed them as moses the servant of the lord [66:10] commanded but as for the cities that stood still in their strength israel burned none of them except hazor only [66:16] that did joshua burn and all the spoil of these cities in the cattle the children of israel took for [66:21] prey unto themselves but every man they smote with the edge of the sword until they had destroyed them neither left [66:27] they any to breathe as the lord commanded moses his servant so did moses commanded joshua so did [66:34] joshua he left nothing undone of all that the lord commanded moses you got to understand that joshua was a bad boy [66:41] right most like god put it on joshua's heart to go out and get it don't have no mercy on these people executed exactly [66:49] like moses said do it and that's what joshua did as long as he was running it right [66:54] keep going watch this so joshua took all that land the hills and all the south country and all the land of goshen in [66:59] the valley and the valley and the plain and the mountain of israel in the valley of the same [67:04] even from the mount halak that goes up to seer even unto bayal gad in the [67:10] valley of lebanon under mount hermon and all their kings he took and smote them and slew them and joshua made war a long [67:16] time with all those kings there was not a city that made peace with the children of israel except the hivites the [67:22] inhabitants of gibeon and all other they took in battle for it was of the lord to harden their [67:28] hearts that they should come against israel in battle that he might destroy them utterly and that they might have no [67:33] favor but that he might destroy them as the lord commanded moses and at that time came joshua and cut off [67:40] the anakims from the mountains from hebron from de beer from anab and from [67:46] the mountains of judah and from the mountains of israel joshua destroyed them utterly with their cities right so [67:51] he destroyed the anakims who remembers what the anakim are [67:58] hmm who remembers what the anakin mar ain't the anakin the giants the giants [68:07] right the anakin was the giants those are the ones that's part of the reason why we're here because these [68:13] people are mixing in with giants so now the most high god is having us [68:18] judge them so joshua goes up and he kills you know the giants of the land in these different places keep going watch [68:25] this there was none of the anakins left in the land of the children of israel only in gaza in gath and in ashdod their [68:32] remains so joshua took the whole land according to all that the lord said unto them unto [68:38] moses and joshua gave it for an inheritance into israel according to their divisions by their tribes and so [68:44] we gotta understand what he just said he's saying of the land that we took [68:49] over no anakim's remain there's land outside of what we took [68:57] over where giants did still remain but of the land that we took over so far of the of [69:03] any of these spots that that we took over we didn't leave no survivors only giants [69:09] in the philistines land now and yeah in the philistines land in gaza [69:14] uh and uh ashdod or astronaut escalante and ashdod [69:23] and the land rested from war mm-hmm was this uh chapter 12 yeah so it's [69:30] chapter 12. we'll probably we'll probably end on chapter 12. this is uh joshua chapter 12 verse one watch what [69:37] the book says these are the kings of the land which the children of israel smote and possess their land on the other side of the jordan toward the rising of the [69:43] sun from the river arnon unto mount hebron hermann and all the plane on the east [69:48] side king of the amorites who dwelt in heshbon and ruled from a rower which is upon the bank of the river arnon from [69:55] the middle of the river and from half gilead even unto the river javik which is in the border of the children of [70:01] ammon from the plain of the sea of kenaroth on the east and upon and on to the sea of [70:06] the plain even the salty on the east the way to beth jeshima and from the [70:12] south under ashdod pisgah [70:18] and the coast of all king of deshaun which was on the remnant of the giants that dwelt at asteroth [70:25] and at edriye and reigned in mount hermon and in salka [70:30] and in all beishan unto the border of the gesherites and the macaethites [70:36] and half gilead the border of saihan king of heshbon them did moses the servant of the lord of the children of [70:41] israel smite moses the servant of the lord gave it for possession unto the reubenites the gadites and the half [70:47] tribe of manasseh these are the kings of the country which joshua and the children of israel smote on this side jordan on the west from [70:53] baal gad in the valley of lebanon even unto the mount hey lack that goes up to [70:58] see it so now people gave into the tribes of israel for possession according to their divisions so this is the territory that it's describing [71:06] right so if we look at this it just told us about everything on this [71:12] right hand side they're saying that this is what the reubenites the gadites and the half [71:18] of the tribe of the manasseh yo i'm saying this is what they took over and then [71:24] joshua came in and remember we we crossed a gilgal here we took this we [71:30] took jerusalem we come on down and we take this area we take this area here so [71:36] we ended up taking all of this area and then some of this area above up here [71:42] right but all of this is supposed to be ours [71:47] right so we haven't completed the mission yet we just made some great progress really [71:54] quickly right so keep going let's see if it can continue to list out the kings for us [72:00] in the mountains and in the valleys of the plains and in the springs in the wilderness in the south country the hittites the amorites the canaanites the [72:06] perizzites hivites and the jebusites the king of jericho won the king of ai which is beside bethel [72:12] one the king of jerusalem one king of hebron one king of jeremiah one the king of lakish one the king of eglon one the [72:19] king of geezer one the king of dibir won the king of gider one the king of herma one the king of urad one the king of [72:26] lambda one the king of adullam one the king of makita won the king of bethel one the king of tepura one the king of [72:33] hefer one the king of aphid one the king of lesharon one the king of maidan one [72:39] the king of hazor one the king of shimron miron one the king of akshath [72:44] one the king of taenack one the king of megiddo one the king of kadesh one the [72:50] king of jock niam one carmel one the king of door in the coast of door one the king of the nations of [72:57] gilgal one the king of tisra one the kings all the kings 31. [73:05] all right so 31 kings is what we took out in this time period right keep going [73:11] is that uh that's the end of uh yeah okay well now we don't we don't have to get into 13. 13 is going to start [73:16] divvying out our territories right so we'll we'll we'll dig into 13 more [73:21] because it'll divvy out our territories from about 13 to about 19. [73:26] so we won't we probably won't read all of it we'll get some of the highlights and then we'll look at visuals of the [73:32] territory because it's better to understand it's easier now for us to understand the actual territories with [73:37] the visual visuals but there's some details in there that we got to talk about like you know specific individuals are [73:43] assigned certain land and so we want to talk about why like caleb for example he's he's he's he's assigned hebron and [73:50] the reason why he's given that land has something to do with what the actions that he took and how he is courageous for the most hot guy before so we're [73:57] going to try to talk about some of those details and and how uh joshua i'm not joshua how joseph's land gets divvied [74:03] out and a few other things um because all this is important we're going to talk about how civilian gets his land [74:09] and how his land is divvied out and i'll leave the levites don't get any land right so we're going to talk about all [74:14] that part and try to try to make some sense of it next week any questions
