Joshua is a type of Christ in many ways, and one of the most important things he does is to lead the Israelites in the fight against the Amorites. He is like Jesus in that he leads them into a tomb and keeps them there.

00:00:00.520 Join Douglas Wilson, Dr. Joseph Boot, Brian Sauve, Eric Kahn, and myself on March 1st,
00:00:07.220 2nd, and 3rd for our 2024 conference.
00:00:10.380 It's called Blueprints for Chrysidom 2.0.
00:00:13.920 Our early bird pricing ends on Thursday, August 31st.
00:00:18.620 So go and visit rightresponseconference.com to register today.
00:00:23.600 We hope to see you at the conference in March. 1.00
00:00:25.480 we don't finish fights anymore we don't but israel did and that's why god stops the sun and the moon 0.91
00:00:36.220 and the sky and he also sins through joshua and his command sends israel to pursue all their 0.90
00:00:42.540 adversaries unto the bitter end so that they could not make it back into their cities and mount up a 0.55
00:00:48.800 new attack on a future day. This is verse 16. These five kings fled and hid themselves in the
00:00:55.840 cave of Makeda. And it was told to Joshua, the five kings have been found hidden in the cave of
00:01:01.020 Makeda. And Joshua said, roll large stones against the mouth of the cave and set men by it to guard
00:01:07.140 them. But do not stay there yourselves. Pursue your enemies. So put these big stones there. That way
00:01:13.800 now the kings are locked in. Now you can go and help your brothers and pursue your enemies. Pursue
00:01:18.520 your enemies attack their rear guard. That means run them down as they're on the run, retreating.
00:01:23.700 Do not let them enter their cities for the Lord your God has given them into your hand. When Joshua 0.93
00:01:29.120 and the sons of Israel had finished striking them with a great blow until they were wiped out, and 0.98
00:01:34.620 when the remnant that remained of them had entered into their fortified cities, then all the people
00:01:39.720 returned safe to Joshua in the camp of Makeda. Not a man moved his tongue against any of the people
00:01:45.960 of Israel. So the picture is what we saw in verses 8 through 15. The Lord is mighty in battle. He's
00:01:52.160 the one who supernaturally gives success, and he puts the enemies of Israel in a panic. He causes 0.87
00:01:57.960 great hailstones to rain down so that more die by the hailstones than by the sword of Israel.
00:02:03.100 And then lastly, he lengthens the day so that they wouldn't just deal a great blow to their 0.66
00:02:08.860 adversaries, but so that Israel could actually finish the fight. And now we see practically 0.69
00:02:13.960 Joshua saying, all right, we've got the kings, the five kings of these five Amorite tribes. 0.95
00:02:19.260 They ran and hid like cowards in a cave. Instead of guarding them, let's get every man that we can, 0.97
00:02:24.260 every fighting man to go and pursue the enemy tribes that are on the retreat right now. So
00:02:30.920 they don't make it back to their cities. So we'll close this in with large stones, this cave where
00:02:36.280 the five kings are hidden. And then we can come back to this later. Now join your brothers and
00:02:41.000 they pursue them. And it seems as though from the text, they kill most of the Amorite soldiers, 0.99
00:02:45.700 a few, it says a remnant, make it back to their cities. But what we're meant to understand is
00:02:50.220 that the few that make it back to their Amorite cities are so few that they won't be able to mount 0.91
00:02:54.600 a counter-attack and they'll fold like a cheap suit under, you know, under siege from Israel. 0.97
00:03:00.760 So it's like, all right, so now we can take out the cities. We'll do that on another day. Let's 0.94
00:03:04.280 regroup back in Makeda where the cave is, where the stones are, where the five kings are locked
00:03:08.780 inside. Now remember, as we're preaching through this, Joshua is a type of Christ. There's multiple
00:03:14.340 different levels of symbolism, typology, and one of them is this. Joshua is a type of Christ,
00:03:22.140 meaning he signifies in many ways Jesus. And what we have here is with Christ, we know the gospel
00:03:29.460 narrative that Christ, he was crucified on a Roman cross, and that he was put into a tomb, a cave,
00:03:36.480 and a stone was rolled in front of the mouth of the cave, right?
00:03:40.740 And here we have Joshua, a type of Christ.
00:03:44.020 He's not going into the tomb.
00:03:45.620 He's not going into the cave,
00:03:46.920 but he is subjecting his enemies, five other kings,
00:03:49.920 and the stones are being rolled in front of the mouth of the cave
00:03:52.840 so that they can't get out.
00:03:53.940 The difference is this.
00:03:55.280 You have five kings going into a tomb with stones rolled in front of it.
00:03:59.660 And those five kings, they come out to be put to death 0.84
00:04:02.780 under Joshua, who is a type of Christ
00:04:05.840 who is stronger than they are.
00:04:08.080 And yet in the gospel narrative,
00:04:09.860 the antitype, who is Christ himself, 0.76
00:04:11.900 he went into a tomb,
00:04:13.040 a stone was rolled in front of that tomb,
00:04:14.840 but he's not brought out of that tomb
00:04:17.020 in order to be put to death.
00:04:18.320 He goes in already dead and comes back out alive. 0.96
00:04:22.360 The stone cannot hold him
00:04:24.000 and he doesn't come out to be put to death,
00:04:26.160 but he comes out to live and to live forevermore.
00:04:29.320 That Jesus is the greater King.
00:04:31.340 He is the king of all kings.
00:04:34.240 And so it's beautiful, I think,
00:04:35.340 seeing some of the parallels of the tomb,
00:04:37.480 the cave, the stones,
00:04:38.820 and five kings brought out to be put to death.
00:04:41.460 One king, the king of kings,
00:04:43.220 brought in already dead,
00:04:45.060 but coming out alive and living forevermore.
