Bible Question:
In Joshua 5:14-15 who is the commander of the army of the Lord that talked to Joshua? Was it Gabriell? |
Bible Answer: Here is another commentators take on the passage Notes For Verse 14 a [captain of the host of the LORD ...] Five proofs that He was God, not a man: 1. He claimed to be Captain of the host of the Lord. Joshua knew God was the Captain of Israel. He had promised to go before them and lead them into Canaan, and had done so for forty years (Ex. 3:8,12,17-22; 6:1-8; 10:2-6; 23:20-33; 33:1-3; Josh. 1:2-9; 3:7-8; Acts 7:31-37). 2. Joshua worshipped Him, and such reverence belongs only to God. If He had been only a messenger of God, He would not have permitted worship (cp. Rev. 19:9-10; 22:8-10). 3. Joshua called Him "Lord" (Hebrew: Adon (HSN-H136) sovereign; lord; master; owner). 4. Joshua recognized himself as His servant. 5. The same thing was said to Joshua that was said to Moses. Only God could make such a demand (cp. Josh. 5:15 with Ex. 3:1-8).
