Bible Question: Where in the Bible is it where Joshua is leading Israel into Canaan and they meet Jesus just before they enter in and Joshua not knowing who Jesus is at first pulls out his sword? |
Bible Answer: You may be thinking of Joshua 5:13-15 though the verses do not say that this "man" is Jesus. I have heard some argue that this was an angel, some say the angel Gabriel. Others argue that this was in fact the Lord and point to vs. 14, Joshua bows in apparent worship and vs. 15 where the person accepts that worship (does not forbid it as the ANGEL in Revelation 10:19 did) and commands the romoval of Joshua's sandals as he declares the ground holy as God did with Moses in Ex 3:5. Hope this is helpful, Jeff |
