Bible Question (short): Claiming victory too soon? |
Question (full): Reading Joshua more closely than I have before, I find it hard to interpret what is going on. Why does this verse claim a total victory? Verses like Joshua 15:63, 16:10, 17:12-18 all show the tribes failing to take their inheritance. Even after the current verse 21:43, where victory is declared, we have Joshua instructing the tribes to take their inheritance. (23:4, Judges 2:6) We often celebrate God's fulfilled promises... what are we to make of promises that are claimed to be fulfilled, when the text itself is clear that they are not? |
