Interceded for the people Joshua 7:7-9 Leads them across divided sea Joshua Ch. 3 Holy War against Canaanites Deut. 20:18-20 - intrusion The Land becomes holy ground Joshua 5:13-15 Israel becomes unified Joshua 3:17; Ch. 22 A nation under God’s law Joshua 23:1-8 From the outside the conquest is successful, but… Israel in Canaan Structure of Biblical Authority by Meredith G. Kline The inadequacies of the conquest The people let some Canaanites remain Joshua 9:1-15; 16:10; 17:12-13 Retaining the land was conditional Joshua 24:19-28 Unity fragile at best Joshua 22:10-12 Death - never enjoying the inheritance Joshua 24:29-33 Rahab more faith than Israel  “Joshua” Hebrew for Jesus (Savior) - Jesus a New Joshua! A new inheritance that cannot be taken away 1 Pet. 1:3-5; Rev. 21:1-2 A better warrior that will eradicate God’s enemies Rev. 19:11-16 A better unity that lasts John 17:22 A real obedience to God’s law from the heart Heb. 8:10 Joshua typifies post-Pentecost ministry of Christ - leading the Church to the Promised Land.

Outline of Judges Background In the Promised Land, enemies still left No new Joshua - what will people do without a leader? Cycle 2:10-19 - Apostasy, discipline, repentance, judge, deliverance, apostasy… Othniel the best - marries covenant child Judg. 1:13 Samspon the worst - marries pagan woman, lusts after prostitutes Othniel - People cried out to God Judg. 3:9; God give rest Judg. 3:11 - Sampson: no cry, no rest Downward spiral of the judges - Othniel to Sampson Beginning - war against Canaanites Judg. 1:1-26 End - civil war Judg. 8:1; 9:1-57; 19:1-21:5 Unity to disunity The downward spiral “There was no king” Judg. 17:6; 18:1; 19:1; 21:25 “Everyone did what was right in their own eyes,” Judg. 17:6; 21:25 C.The theme - no righteous king = apostasy D.The temporary solution - 1 Samuel - King David A new king who can make his people truly righteous - not David. A king who can atone for apostasy. A king that can truly unify the people. A king who lives forever. A king who can rid the land of the Canaanites - kingdom In Judges, our own hearts are revealed apart from a King who can make us righteous.  In a sense, Judges exegetes Genesis 3 and the need for Christ the king. The eternal solution Total depravity only takes time and circumstance to show itself. The Law of God cannot produce good works!
