00:00:23.480
five-star review on your favorite podcast platform thanks the city of 12 000 is still going to require
00:00:30.880
all the fighting men of israel which is over 30 000 to defeat why why does it take over 30 000 men
00:00:40.340
to defeat a city with only 12 000 population including women and children total there are
00:00:46.440
giants in the sky big tall terrible giants in the sky they're giants that's why
00:00:52.540
what we see is god supernaturally joshua holds out god commands him to do this holds out his
00:01:00.280
javelin and he keeps his arm outstretched until there's a total taking of the city the city is
00:01:06.580
in flames goes up in smoke and everyone is wiped out
0.76
00:01:10.720
meaning this israel was dependent on the supernatural strength and power of god to
00:01:18.140
defeat superior opponents, Jericho, and seemingly inferior opponents, Ai. God will not share his
00:01:28.040
glory with another. God is determined, insisting that Israel will only attain success and victory
1.00
00:01:35.820
by his providence, by his power, by his supernatural strength. And he's saying that these enemies,
00:01:43.720
whether they be many or few, you're not just fighting against mere flesh and blood. There's a
00:01:50.120
bigger story going on. And you're going to need me every step of the way. So the big ideas of Joshua
00:01:57.600
8 is one, whether we fight big enemies or small enemies, follow the script. Do what God says.
00:02:05.360
Don't think, hey, we needed God for Jericho. We don't need him for AI. Let's just take 3,000 men
00:02:10.500
and get it done. Uh-uh. No, they need God to give them the strategy. Hold out a javelin. What's that
0.99
00:02:17.980
got to do with anything? It's supernatural. You won't do it without my supernatural help.
00:02:23.680
We stick to the script. If anything, Joshua chapter 8, we could say it like this. It condemns
00:02:29.000
human pragmatism. That it's not just pragmatism. It's not just, hey, you know what? God made the
00:02:36.260
Jericho this border city fall there's Roe and now we can you know we can use pragmatic human
1.00
00:02:42.500
strategies little by little to do this and do that nah same thing you needed for Jericho you
00:02:48.180
need that to finish AI not pragmatism but the supernatural power of God the whole way and
00:02:54.740
what's our job what's our responsibility in ensuring that God is with us in his strength
00:02:59.920
and power, doing what he says, following the script, not just coming up with our own pragmatic
00:03:06.340
human strategies. If God says, stick out a javelin and hold it until the war is over, you do it.
