Charge to Joshua
"Be strong and courageous, for you
shall give this people possession of the
land which I swore to their fathers to give
them." (Joshua 1:6).
Because he would have to
take the land
 Because he would have to
obey God’s law
 Because the Lord would be
with him

Joshua 2:1
Then Joshua the son of Nun
sent two men as spies secretly
from Shittim, saying, "Go, view the
land, especially Jericho." So they
went and came into the house of a
harlot whose name was Rahab,
and lodged there.
Jericho 
Hebrews 11:31
By faith Rahab the harlot did
not perish along with those who
were disobedient, after she had
welcomed the spies in peace
Joshua 2:3
And the king of Jericho sent word to
Rahab, saying, "Bring out the men who
have come to you, who have entered your
house, for they have come to search out
all the land."
Joshua 2:4-6
But the woman had taken the two
men and hidden them, and she said,
"Yes, the men came to me, but I did not
know where they were from. And it came
about when it was time to shut the gate,
at dark, that the men went out; I do not
know where the men went. Pursue them
quickly, for you will overtake them."
But she had brought them up to the
roof and hidden them in the stalks of flax
which she had laid in order on the roof.
Joshua 2:8
Now before they lay down, she came
up to them on the roof, and said to the
men, "I know that the Lord has given you
the land, and that the terror of you has
fallen on us, and that all the inhabitants of
the land have melted away before you.”
Joshua 2:9-11
"For we have heard how the Lord
dried up the water of the Red Sea before
you when you came out of Egypt, and
what you did to the two kings of the
Amorites who were beyond the Jordan, to
Sihon and Og, whom you utterly
destroyed. And when we heard it, our
hearts melted and no courage remained
in any man any longer because of you; for
the Lord your God, He is God in heaven
above and on earth beneath."
Joshua 2:24
And they said to Joshua, "Surely the
Lord has given all the land into our hands,
and all the inhabitants of the land,
moreover, have melted away before us."

Gibeon
Joshua 10:1-2
Now it came about when Adoni-zedek
king of Jerusalem heard that Joshua had
captured Ai, and had utterly destroyed it
(just as he had done to Jericho and its
king, so he had done to Ai and its king),
and that the inhabitants of Gibeon had
made peace with Israel and were within
their land, that he feared greatly, because
Gibeon was a great city, like one of the
royal cities, and because it was greater
than Ai, and all its men were mighty.

And it came about as they fled
from before Israel, while they were at
the descend of Beth-horon, that the
Lord threw large stones from heaven
on them, as far as Azekah, and they
died; there were more who died from
the hailstones than those whom the
sons of Israel killed with the sword.

Joshua 10:12-13
Then Joshua spoke to the Lord in the day
when the Lord delivered up the Amorites before
the sons of Israel, and he said in the sight of
Israel,
"O sun, stand still at Gibeon,
And O moon in the valley of Aijalon."
So the sun stood still, and the moon stopped,
Until the nation avenged themselves of their
enemies.
Is it not written in the book of Jashar? And the
sun stopped in the middle of the sky, and did
not hasten to go down for about a whole day.
Joshua 10:14
And there was no day like that
before it or after it, when the Lord
listened to the voice of a man; for the
Lord fought for Israel.

Spiritual Applications

Reminds us that we are also on a
campaign of conquest
For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war
according to the flesh, 4 for the weapons of our warfare
are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the
destruction of fortresses.
5 We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing
raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are
taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ,
6 and we are ready to punish all disobedience,
whenever your obedience is complete. (2 Corinthians
10:3-6).
