Bible Note: One of my most beloved passages in the Bible. Joshua, preparing for battle against Jericho, with 40,000 mighty men of war, v.13.."And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went unto him. Art thou for us, or for our adversaries?" Joshua "lifted up his eyes" before going into a terrible battle and beheld none other than the Son of God! He had come, as the "captain of the Host" to reassure and lead Joshua into the conquest of Jericho! Ever have a tough Day? Then look up! He will come to you, too! |
