From the Midwest Christadelphian Bible School 2022.
Class 5 used for GCT Episode 207.
00:00:03,600 –> 00:00:06,600
Brothers and sisters, thank you
for being on time.
2
00:00:07,800 –> 00:00:12,300
We’re now ready to commence our
second class or speaker, of
3
00:00:12,300 –> 00:00:16,700
course, is brother.
Jason Robinson and the theme for
4
00:00:16,700 –> 00:00:21,300
brother Robinson’s classes.
This week is the tales of the
5
00:00:21,300 –> 00:00:24,800
Giants.
And today’s class is entitled,
6
00:00:25,200 –> 00:00:31,200
The Adventures of Caleb, the
Giant Slayer Jason.
7
00:00:39,000 –> 00:00:41,500
Thank you very much and good
morning to you brothers and
8
00:00:41,500 –> 00:00:45,900
sisters.
Today, we’re talking about a man
9
00:00:45,900 –> 00:00:51,500
named Caleb and his adventures
in scripture, Tuesday, and
10
00:00:51,500 –> 00:00:54,900
Wednesday were a little bit more
of the Deep dive.
11
00:00:55,100 –> 00:00:58,400
Getting to know the Nephilim.
And the ref aim, we spent a
12
00:00:58,408 –> 00:01:00,700
little bit more of our time,
kind of digging into what some
13
00:01:00,700 –> 00:01:05,000
of those words mean little bit
of back story to them today is
14
00:01:05,000 –> 00:01:09,000
more of we’re going to be
following, what is perhaps?
15
00:01:09,900 –> 00:01:14,700
The most successful giant-slayer
in all of scripture.
16
00:01:15,900 –> 00:01:20,900
Man, who goes?
Largely unappreciated when it
17
00:01:20,900 –> 00:01:23,300
comes to his Endeavors at
slaying.
18
00:01:23,300 –> 00:01:26,500
Giants will be taking a look, of
course at none.
19
00:01:26,500 –> 00:01:30,400
Other than Caleb.
If you do need additional quick
20
00:01:30,400 –> 00:01:33,100
guides pencils, note cards,
anything like that.
21
00:01:33,500 –> 00:01:37,100
They’ll always be up here on the
front up here on the stage.
22
00:01:38,300 –> 00:01:42,200
Before we dive into Caleb, let’s
quickly recap where we’ve come
23
00:01:42,200 –> 00:01:46,400
so far, and before we kind of
get to look at what our purpose
24
00:01:46,400 –> 00:01:51,700
is for today.
So Monday, we got to know our
25
00:01:51,700 –> 00:01:54,700
giant as we’ve discussed a few
times and we are probably now
26
00:01:54,700 –> 00:01:59,000
more familiar with our Giants
thin on Monday we ever thought
27
00:01:59,000 –> 00:02:01,900
possible we’ve gotten to know
them, probably pretty.
28
00:02:01,900 –> 00:02:04,600
Well we’re probably getting to
the point where annoyed with
29
00:02:04,600 –> 00:02:07,800
them now and we maybe just want
them gone.
30
00:02:08,699 –> 00:02:11,000
We’ve studied them, we study
their habits, their behaviors.
31
00:02:11,200 –> 00:02:13,500
And we’ve looked at them, maybe
from a little bit of a different
32
00:02:13,500 –> 00:02:15,400
perspective on Tuesday and
Wednesday.
33
00:02:15,400 –> 00:02:17,300
We had a couple fairly heavy
sessions, we looked at the
34
00:02:17,300 –> 00:02:21,300
Nephilim and rephaim as noted in
the middle page here in your
35
00:02:21,300 –> 00:02:26,100
quick guide.
And we looked at how both words
36
00:02:27,100 –> 00:02:32,400
translated can mean, you know,
pretty wimpy sounding things
37
00:02:32,400 –> 00:02:35,700
right?
The Nephilim to fall and the ref
38
00:02:35,700 –> 00:02:40,000
I am weak or feeble and and we
ask the important questions.
39
00:02:40,200 –> 00:02:42,700
Do you believe you can beat your
giant?
40
00:02:43,400 –> 00:02:46,300
And that’s after you’ve answered
the question in your own mind.
41
00:02:46,300 –> 00:02:51,600
Do you want to?
And I asked you Tuesday, and
42
00:02:51,600 –> 00:02:55,300
Wednesday to save this section
at the very top of the Nephilim
43
00:02:55,300 –> 00:02:58,100
and rephaim days.
Do you fully believe you could
44
00:02:58,100 –> 00:03:02,400
beat your giant.
So hopefully We’ve circled.
45
00:03:02,400 –> 00:03:07,400
Yes, on that question.
And of course this is by all
46
00:03:07,400 –> 00:03:11,300
intents and purposes to be as
honest as we can, you’re not
47
00:03:11,300 –> 00:03:15,600
turning this in when it’s done.
So we are trying to be honest in
48
00:03:15,600 –> 00:03:19,900
our own guide for this week and
then yesterday we use lessons
49
00:03:19,900 –> 00:03:23,000
from Moses, final rally cry.
In Deuteronomy to a new
50
00:03:23,000 –> 00:03:25,700
generation of Israelites, which
focused on the mistakes of the
51
00:03:25,700 –> 00:03:27,800
parents.
We looked at the resume of
52
00:03:27,800 –> 00:03:31,100
Yahweh and conquering those
Giants and the position that God
53
00:03:31,100 –> 00:03:36,300
saw, Children in and he desired
to see them in for the Nations,
54
00:03:36,400 –> 00:03:40,900
to look at them as great.
In their own eyes.
55
00:03:42,500 –> 00:03:45,800
Today, we’re really going to
start to see the usefulness of
56
00:03:45,800 –> 00:03:47,600
putting together our recipe
book.
57
00:03:49,000 –> 00:03:53,000
Our plan of attack or this quick
guide and we’re going to fill in
58
00:03:53,000 –> 00:03:56,400
a whole nother page today.
And that is under the section,
59
00:03:56,400 –> 00:04:02,400
Caleb, the Giant Slayer today.
We’re going to decide where to
60
00:04:02,400 –> 00:04:06,700
attack will use the example.
As mentioned of scriptures, most
61
00:04:06,700 –> 00:04:09,000
successful Giant Slayer of all
time.
62
00:04:09,200 –> 00:04:12,900
A man who saw giants when they
first spied the land and had the
63
00:04:12,900 –> 00:04:18,600
vision of them burned into his
brain for 40 years.
64
00:04:19,100 –> 00:04:25,200
As he patiently, waited for his
turn to March, right back to the
65
00:04:25,200 –> 00:04:32,500
same, exact spot to the same
exact people to conquer his
66
00:04:32,500 –> 00:04:36,000
Giants.
So today brothers and sisters
67
00:04:36,000 –> 00:04:38,500
young people were going to
search for our Giants.
68
00:04:38,500 –> 00:04:41,600
Homeland.
Where do they live?
69
00:04:42,000 –> 00:04:45,000
We’re going to try to meet them
on their own turf.
70
00:04:46,800 –> 00:04:49,900
Now, with that being said, I
want to quickly review the last
71
00:04:49,900 –> 00:04:51,600
couple slides.
We didn’t have a ton of time to
72
00:04:51,600 –> 00:04:55,200
get into yesterday and this was
the complaint as summarized in
73
00:04:55,200 –> 00:04:57,300
Deuteronomy chapter one of the
children of Israel when they
74
00:04:57,300 –> 00:05:00,600
spied the land.
They said, the people is greater
75
00:05:00,600 –> 00:05:04,100
and taller than we, the cities
are great.
76
00:05:04,100 –> 00:05:09,000
And What God Says in Deuteronomy
chapter 4 is he says Heap
77
00:05:09,000 –> 00:05:11,500
therefore and do them for this.
Is your wisdom and your
78
00:05:11,500 –> 00:05:13,700
understanding in the sight of
the Nations which shall hear all
79
00:05:13,700 –> 00:05:16,400
these statutes and say, surely
this great.
80
00:05:16,800 –> 00:05:20,100
Nation is a wise understanding
people for what nation is there.
81
00:05:20,100 –> 00:05:22,500
So great.
Who hath God?
82
00:05:22,500 –> 00:05:26,000
So 92 them is Yahweh.
Our God is in all things that we
83
00:05:26,000 –> 00:05:27,700
call upon him for and what
nation is there.
84
00:05:27,700 –> 00:05:30,200
So great, that have statutes and
judgments.
85
00:05:30,200 –> 00:05:33,800
So righteous as all this law,
which I said before you this
86
00:05:33,800 –> 00:05:35,500
day.
And so, the reason that he
87
00:05:35,500 –> 00:05:39,100
wanted Israel to be great was
because they would be wise and
88
00:05:39,100 –> 00:05:42,300
understanding, because the
nations would look at them and
89
00:05:42,300 –> 00:05:49,100
say, God is nigh unto them.
And they’re great because their
90
00:05:49,100 –> 00:05:51,800
statutes and judgments are
righteous.
91
00:05:52,200 –> 00:05:55,900
So this is the reason God really
singles out his own people.
92
00:05:55,900 –> 00:05:59,900
He says, you went into the land
and you thought they were great.
93
00:06:00,900 –> 00:06:04,000
I want to flip that story around
completely, so the people in the
94
00:06:04,000 –> 00:06:11,600
world will see you as great.
And it’s with this rally cry.
95
00:06:11,600 –> 00:06:14,300
That Caleb.
I can picture being there.
96
00:06:15,100 –> 00:06:19,100
Listening to Moses.
We’re going to now introduce us
97
00:06:19,100 –> 00:06:23,500
to Caleb.
The son of jephunneh As many of
98
00:06:23,508 –> 00:06:26,900
us are probably aware his name,
means a dog.
99
00:06:27,900 –> 00:06:32,900
And from this, we see other
types and scriptures of how this
100
00:06:32,900 –> 00:06:36,900
makes sense, because he was
actually a gentile.
101
00:06:37,700 –> 00:06:40,000
And in Joshua 14, you don’t need
to turn these verses up.
102
00:06:40,000 –> 00:06:43,600
But in Joshua chapter 14, I’m
going to read verse 14.
103
00:06:44,100 –> 00:06:46,700
It says Hebron therefore, became
the inheritance of Caleb.
104
00:06:46,700 –> 00:06:49,000
The son of jephunneh the Canada
site.
105
00:06:49,700 –> 00:06:52,300
Not the Israelites at the jew,
not the Hebrew.
106
00:06:52,400 –> 00:06:55,900
He was a Hannah’s 8.
Therefore Joshua was actually a
107
00:06:56,000 –> 00:06:59,700
gentile.
Again, probably review for most
108
00:06:59,700 –> 00:07:03,000
of us.
But he was also a Canada site as
109
00:07:03,000 –> 00:07:07,500
we just read and we’re given
maybe Al interesting little clue
110
00:07:07,700 –> 00:07:14,200
in the Book of Genesis chapter
36, and at verse 9 through 11,
111
00:07:15,300 –> 00:07:17,700
again, I’ll read it for you.
It says, and these are the
112
00:07:17,700 –> 00:07:22,700
generations of Esau, the father
of the edomites amounts here.
113
00:07:22,800 –> 00:07:24,400
These are the names of Esau
son’s life.
114
00:07:24,400 –> 00:07:27,300
As a son of a, to the wife of
Esau rule, the son of bash math.
115
00:07:27,300 –> 00:07:30,400
The wife of Esau and the sons of
a life as were teaming, Omar Z
116
00:07:30,400 –> 00:07:35,400
fo Gates em and Keen ads.
So while we can’t be super
117
00:07:35,400 –> 00:07:39,500
dogmatic about it, it doesn’t
seem possible that this man.
118
00:07:39,500 –> 00:07:44,700
Caleb was indeed an Edomite, a
direct descendants of Esau.
119
00:07:45,100 –> 00:07:49,400
I do know from yesterday’s
session that edomites could
120
00:07:49,400 –> 00:07:54,000
conquer Giants.
Edomites actually conquered
121
00:07:54,000 –> 00:07:55,400
Giants.
Thanks to God’s help in their
122
00:07:55,400 –> 00:07:59,400
relation, of course, to Abraham.
And the Canaanites actually do
123
00:07:59,400 –> 00:08:01,800
produce more than one righteous
Warrior.
124
00:08:02,900 –> 00:08:06,400
Well, we’re also told something
interesting that is pretty
125
00:08:06,400 –> 00:08:11,000
obvious when you think about it,
but in number ship of 32, we’re
126
00:08:11,000 –> 00:08:13,900
told an extra little clue.
It says a number certain 32
127
00:08:13,900 –> 00:08:16,100
verses 11.
And 12 surely none of the men
128
00:08:16,100 –> 00:08:18,700
that came up out of Egypt from
twenty years old and upward
129
00:08:18,700 –> 00:08:20,900
shall see the language.
I swear in to Abraham and to
130
00:08:20,900 –> 00:08:24,200
Isaac, and to Jacob, because
they have not wholly, followed
131
00:08:24,200 –> 00:08:28,600
me save Caleb, the son of
jephunneh and Joshua, the son of
132
00:08:28,600 –> 00:08:32,500
nun.
So this man Caleb was also from
133
00:08:32,700 –> 00:08:36,500
Egypt.
Which makes sense because in
134
00:08:36,500 –> 00:08:38,900
Exodus chapter 12, verses 37 and
38.
135
00:08:38,900 –> 00:08:41,900
We are told that there was a
mixed multitude which came out
136
00:08:41,900 –> 00:08:44,300
of Egypt.
So if these characters and
137
00:08:44,300 –> 00:08:49,000
qualities and attributes are all
true, then one of the best
138
00:08:49,000 –> 00:08:56,600
Giants players of all time was a
gentile now, we’re going to take
139
00:08:56,600 –> 00:09:01,000
a look at his family tree
because we’re going to see a
140
00:09:01,000 –> 00:09:04,800
couple of these other characters
show up briefly throughout our
141
00:09:04,800 –> 00:09:08,900
study today, as well as on
Saturday, Soju funa had two
142
00:09:08,900 –> 00:09:15,700
children were told Caleb and
another Keen as Caleb.
143
00:09:15,700 –> 00:09:19,500
We’re told in first Chronicles,
chapter 4, had three boys, hero
144
00:09:19,500 –> 00:09:22,900
Ela and Nahum.
And we’re also told later on
145
00:09:23,000 –> 00:09:25,200
that he had a daughter named
AXA.
146
00:09:26,300 –> 00:09:32,200
He now has had two children off,
Neil and Syria and AXA and off,
147
00:09:32,200 –> 00:09:34,800
Neil.
Get married.
148
00:09:35,900 –> 00:09:40,000
As we look at Saturday’s course
together and just to make it.
149
00:09:40,000 –> 00:09:42,000
So it’s a little bit more
confusing.
150
00:09:42,800 –> 00:09:47,300
Ela also has a child named key
Nance so this name, for whatever
151
00:09:47,300 –> 00:09:51,700
reason was fairly popular in the
Caleb household, but this Keen
152
00:09:51,700 –> 00:09:56,000
as comes up a few different
times, but it’s this man, Caleb.
153
00:09:56,000 –> 00:09:58,600
And we really want to spend our
day talking about today.
154
00:09:59,100 –> 00:10:02,900
Caleb, as we looked at, on
Monday, and Tuesday was one of
155
00:10:02,900 –> 00:10:07,900
the twelve spies imagine.
A gentile spy with you.
156
00:10:08,900 –> 00:10:12,000
Hmm.
We’re going to spy the promised
157
00:10:12,000 –> 00:10:16,600
land to Abraham as a gentile
included.
158
00:10:17,700 –> 00:10:21,000
Not sure I like where this is
going but it was in the land of
159
00:10:21,000 –> 00:10:23,400
Hebron where they saw the
Giants.
160
00:10:24,500 –> 00:10:27,900
We were told in numbers 13 Verse
22, which we won’t read again,
161
00:10:28,300 –> 00:10:31,400
but it was in the land that was
conquered by Abraham and his
162
00:10:31,400 –> 00:10:35,400
Confederate Gentile leaders.
And it was in this land where
163
00:10:35,400 –> 00:10:39,500
Sarah was buried, where Abraham
was buried, where Isaac, and
164
00:10:39,508 –> 00:10:44,000
Rebekah, where Leah and Jacob
were all buried was, in this
165
00:10:44,000 –> 00:10:49,600
land of Hebron.
And this is the land where Caleb
166
00:10:49,600 –> 00:10:51,900
goes to spy.
And you can imagine what his
167
00:10:51,900 –> 00:10:55,300
mind is thinking.
As he’s Ring through this land
168
00:10:55,300 –> 00:10:59,900
of Hebron all the types and
symbols and stories that that
169
00:10:59,900 –> 00:11:03,200
ground holds.
But not only that.
170
00:11:04,800 –> 00:11:08,000
But to the Chagrin, I’m sure of
many in number. 34 were given
171
00:11:08,000 –> 00:11:13,100
another list which includes this
Gentile, Caleb in numbers 34?
172
00:11:13,400 –> 00:11:16,300
Starting at verse 16, it says
and you always speaking to Moses
173
00:11:16,300 –> 00:11:19,800
saying these are the names of
the men which shall divide the
174
00:11:19,800 –> 00:11:25,500
land to you Eliezer and Joshua
take two men Eleazar and Joshua.
175
00:11:25,500 –> 00:11:29,800
They are going to divide the
land into twelve princes of
176
00:11:29,800 –> 00:11:33,800
Israel. 12 heads, 12 liters in
the nation of Israel.
177
00:11:35,800 –> 00:11:38,900
And you shall take one Prince of
every tribe to divide the land,
178
00:11:38,900 –> 00:11:42,900
by inheritance and verse 19.
Of number, 34 says, the names of
179
00:11:42,900 –> 00:11:49,200
the men of these names, the men
of these So fun of the tribe of
180
00:11:49,200 –> 00:11:53,400
Judah.
Caleb, the son of jephunneh.
181
00:11:53,700 –> 00:11:58,700
So we have here, the very, very
first name on the list of all
182
00:11:58,700 –> 00:12:01,700
the princes of Israel which they
were only 12.
183
00:12:02,900 –> 00:12:09,400
We have a gentile by the name of
Caleb that same righteous spy
184
00:12:10,100 –> 00:12:14,100
who spied out the land for us.
Now, you’ll notice probably but
185
00:12:14,100 –> 00:12:17,700
there’s only 10 and go.
Well Jason can’t count.
186
00:12:18,700 –> 00:12:22,500
It’s true sometimes but in this
case this is the Ten tribes on
187
00:12:22,508 –> 00:12:24,900
the West Jordan.
There are the other tribes on
188
00:12:24,908 –> 00:12:27,000
the east of Jordan was not
listed in this section.
189
00:12:27,000 –> 00:12:30,300
Now before we dive into Kayla
because it’s been a while since
190
00:12:30,300 –> 00:12:33,200
we’ve actually heard of any
stories of Caleb.
191
00:12:33,400 –> 00:12:36,700
We haven’t heard of him since
number 13 Even though his name
192
00:12:36,700 –> 00:12:38,900
has been brought up here and
there, but we hear about him
193
00:12:38,900 –> 00:12:40,400
again in the middle of the Book
of Joshua.
194
00:12:40,700 –> 00:12:44,500
But before we get into Joshua,
it’s it’s actually really fun to
195
00:12:44,500 –> 00:12:47,800
kind of get the context of where
we’re at in the story because
196
00:12:47,800 –> 00:12:51,700
Joshua The book itself is going
to give Caleb’s recipe for
197
00:12:51,700 –> 00:12:54,800
fighting giants and it’s going
to all start in this book.
198
00:12:55,300 –> 00:12:57,200
So in order to understand the
Book of Joshua, a little bit
199
00:12:57,200 –> 00:13:00,500
better, it’s helpful to look at
the structure of the book
200
00:13:00,500 –> 00:13:02,800
itself.
So bear with me just a couple
201
00:13:02,800 –> 00:13:05,500
minutes as we try to understand
this.
202
00:13:07,100 –> 00:13:12,700
Quite wordy book.
Deuteronomy 34 last couple
203
00:13:12,700 –> 00:13:15,100
verses in verse 5.
It says so Moses.
204
00:13:15,100 –> 00:13:20,500
The servant of Yahweh died.
They’re in the land of Moab,
205
00:13:20,500 –> 00:13:23,600
according to the word of the
Lord and he buried him in the
206
00:13:23,600 –> 00:13:26,400
valley of Moab over against Beth
pure, but no man knoweth the
207
00:13:26,408 –> 00:13:29,300
Sepulchre unto this day.
And to Moses says, in verse 7,
208
00:13:29,300 –> 00:13:32,200
was 120 years old.
When he died verse 8, the
209
00:13:32,200 –> 00:13:35,900
children of Israel wept for
Moses, verse 9 and Joshua.
210
00:13:35,900 –> 00:13:39,800
The son of nun was full of the
spirit of wisdom for.
211
00:13:39,800 –> 00:13:43,000
It, says Moses had laid his
hands upon him.
212
00:13:43,300 –> 00:13:45,800
So now what we’re going to do is
we’re going to finish up
213
00:13:45,800 –> 00:13:48,700
Deuteronomy.
He has rallied the nation around
214
00:13:48,700 –> 00:13:49,800
fighting the Giant.
Science.
215
00:13:50,400 –> 00:13:56,100
And he passes it on to Joshua.
So the Book of Joshua starts in
216
00:13:56,100 –> 00:14:01,700
the first five chapters and its
really Joshua’s new role and
217
00:14:01,700 –> 00:14:04,000
he’s going to prepare for the
crossing of the River.
218
00:14:04,000 –> 00:14:09,200
Jordan, what scriptures does is
fascinating because if you’re
219
00:14:09,200 –> 00:14:14,900
anything like me, you already
missed Moses, But what Joshua
220
00:14:14,900 –> 00:14:19,400
does is it lays out the
character of Joshua as a new
221
00:14:19,400 –> 00:14:23,300
Moses, because in the first five
chapters Joshua calls upon the
222
00:14:23,308 –> 00:14:25,100
people to obey the law from
Sinai.
223
00:14:25,100 –> 00:14:30,000
I like Moses did he sends in
spies to serve a deal and like
224
00:14:30,000 –> 00:14:35,400
Moses did he divides the water
like Moses did and he calls upon
225
00:14:35,400 –> 00:14:39,600
the camp to keep the Passover
like Moses did and the section
226
00:14:39,600 –> 00:14:41,300
ends.
The end of chapter 5.
227
00:14:42,500 –> 00:14:47,100
The very similar story to Moses.
The very beginning of his
228
00:14:47,100 –> 00:14:51,400
mission.
An angel interrupts, the spying
229
00:14:51,400 –> 00:14:57,200
of Joshua of Jericho and I can
see him crawling up a hill. and
230
00:14:57,200 –> 00:15:02,800
he sees Jericho on the other
side, but in between him and
231
00:15:02,800 –> 00:15:05,000
Jericho, is a man holding a
sword out.
232
00:15:07,100 –> 00:15:11,200
He says are you for us or for
our enemies?
233
00:15:12,700 –> 00:15:14,900
And the angel says something
amazing.
234
00:15:16,100 –> 00:15:21,700
Neither. but as captain of the
host of Yahweh, am I now come
235
00:15:22,100 –> 00:15:25,900
and he worships him and he says
the same words, which Moses was
236
00:15:25,900 –> 00:15:31,500
told on the beginning of Moses
his journey, Take your shoes
237
00:15:31,500 –> 00:15:34,200
off.
The place where you’re standing
238
00:15:34,200 –> 00:15:38,700
is Holy and it’s worth circling
that Exodus 35 in your margin
239
00:15:39,300 –> 00:15:43,900
because Joshua now introduces
the character of Joshua.
240
00:15:44,400 –> 00:15:47,900
As the next Moses, the one who
would lead them into the
241
00:15:47,900 –> 00:15:51,900
Promised Land.
So we get two chapters 6 through
242
00:15:51,900 –> 00:15:56,100
12 and this is the conquests of
Canaan.
243
00:15:57,200 –> 00:16:02,100
We sort all of these battles in
this section of Joshua.
244
00:16:02,700 –> 00:16:06,600
Well, then we get to chapter 13
to 22 and we divided the land
245
00:16:07,300 –> 00:16:12,200
and then we end Joshua with this
excitation given by Joshua to be
246
00:16:12,200 –> 00:16:16,600
of good courage, children of
Israel There’s a lot of battles
247
00:16:16,600 –> 00:16:20,200
in front of you.
So, let’s give this a little
248
00:16:20,200 –> 00:16:25,400
more of a visual perspective.
Chapter 6 to 12 is the conquests
249
00:16:25,800 –> 00:16:30,400
of the land.
And Joshua 5 and 6 goes over
250
00:16:30,400 –> 00:16:32,300
this.
Sorry, Joshua 6 through 8, goes
251
00:16:32,300 –> 00:16:36,000
over this section of the middle
of Israel and it’s going to talk
252
00:16:36,000 –> 00:16:40,800
about in a few chapters, the
middle Conquest, all the tribes
253
00:16:40,800 –> 00:16:43,100
in the middle and all their
fighting’s and all of their
254
00:16:43,100 –> 00:16:45,400
battles that go on in the middle
section.
255
00:16:46,100 –> 00:16:48,900
But in the middle Conquest, we
get a fascinating introduction
256
00:16:49,300 –> 00:16:51,900
to how God is going to work with
the children of Israel in
257
00:16:51,900 –> 00:16:55,400
fighting their battles.
During with the angel says,
258
00:16:56,400 –> 00:16:59,100
Angel tells Josh with the end of
the last section in chapter 5,
259
00:17:00,200 –> 00:17:01,900
I’m not really on your side or
your enemies.
260
00:17:01,900 –> 00:17:04,400
I’m here as Captain of God’s
host.
261
00:17:07,000 –> 00:17:09,099
Well, that’s exactly how Jericho
was fought, wasn’t it?
262
00:17:11,200 –> 00:17:13,099
I don’t know about you, but
that’d be a pretty cool way to
263
00:17:13,099 –> 00:17:16,099
take down a city screaming and
walking.
264
00:17:17,200 –> 00:17:20,700
And so the children of Israel
are very motivated by the
265
00:17:20,700 –> 00:17:23,000
Conquering of this city of
Jericho.
266
00:17:24,800 –> 00:17:28,099
But we’re left with a beautiful
contrast because you see what
267
00:17:28,099 –> 00:17:30,200
happens is.
There’s Disobedience after the
268
00:17:30,200 –> 00:17:35,400
victory of Jericho and what was,
what a massive Victory, even a
269
00:17:35,400 –> 00:17:41,000
conversion of some Gentiles in
Jericho, the contrast is quite
270
00:17:41,000 –> 00:17:46,400
simple. it was Manning taken and
the very next battle was in the
271
00:17:46,400 –> 00:17:50,500
city called AI, where they were
on this high of Victory and they
272
00:17:50,500 –> 00:17:53,300
go to March into Ai and they’re
ecstatic of about another
273
00:17:53,300 –> 00:17:58,500
Victory and they suffer a
humiliating defeat and they say,
274
00:17:58,500 –> 00:18:00,100
well, this is not making any
sense.
275
00:18:00,500 –> 00:18:03,700
Why did this happen?
Well, it’s because brothers and
276
00:18:03,700 –> 00:18:06,700
sisters, young people.
There was disobedience in the
277
00:18:06,700 –> 00:18:10,800
camp and so what happens is this
first few chapters lay out the
278
00:18:10,800 –> 00:18:15,500
rest of what they need to know.
If you rely on God, God is going
279
00:18:15,500 –> 00:18:18,300
to fight your battles.
The principles, the same for us
280
00:18:19,100 –> 00:18:21,500
if you approach it with
disobedience.
281
00:18:22,900 –> 00:18:26,100
You will suffer defeat.
And so it’s with this Conquest
282
00:18:26,100 –> 00:18:30,200
that now, we jump into many
many, many, many more chapters
283
00:18:30,200 –> 00:18:34,200
about just conquests chapters 9
and 10, we deal with the
284
00:18:34,200 –> 00:18:37,700
southern conquests of the south
of the land, then we get to
285
00:18:37,700 –> 00:18:40,900
Joshua chapter 11.
We’re in Joshua chapter 11, we
286
00:18:40,900 –> 00:18:44,800
deal with the North and we are
now focusing on the tribes up in
287
00:18:44,808 –> 00:18:47,900
the northern section and all of
these people and all the battles
288
00:18:47,900 –> 00:18:52,200
that they fight.
And then in chapter 12, As one
289
00:18:52,200 –> 00:18:55,400
through six, we have that old
familiar friend, Moses.
290
00:18:56,400 –> 00:18:59,800
And it summarizes, what happens
on the east of Jordan in Joshua
291
00:18:59,800 –> 00:19:05,900
12, verses 1, to 6, to familiar
Kings sihon and OG the great
292
00:19:05,900 –> 00:19:11,000
victories of Moses that would be
remembered for many generations.
293
00:19:11,500 –> 00:19:15,800
And then in verses 7 to 24, we
have Joshua’s Conquest in the
294
00:19:15,808 –> 00:19:17,600
west looking for seven.
And these are the kings of the
295
00:19:17,600 –> 00:19:19,500
country, which Joshua the
children visual smote on this
296
00:19:19,500 –> 00:19:21,800
side, Jordan on the west and
then it goes over all.
297
00:19:21,900 –> 00:19:24,400
All these Kings.
Starting in verse 9, many, many
298
00:19:24,600 –> 00:19:28,000
familiar Kings and so this is
how Joshua is broken up.
299
00:19:28,900 –> 00:19:32,200
These Twelve Tribes the lands
which they are going to receive
300
00:19:33,600 –> 00:19:37,500
we’re going to focus today on a
special city, the city of Hebron
301
00:19:39,500 –> 00:19:42,500
Because you see in Chapter 13,
Joshua gives the land to the
302
00:19:42,500 –> 00:19:45,200
two-and-a-half tribes in the
East, not yet in the land of
303
00:19:45,200 –> 00:19:50,000
Canaan.
And then chapter 14, We finally
304
00:19:50,000 –> 00:19:55,300
get to the land of Canaan.
And in Joshua 14, let start over
305
00:19:55,300 –> 00:19:59,600
6.
And the children of Judah came
306
00:19:59,600 –> 00:20:04,000
into Joshua in gilgal.
And Caleb.
307
00:20:05,900 –> 00:20:08,500
The son of jephunneh that Ken
has a site said unto him.
308
00:20:08,700 –> 00:20:14,200
So we’ve divided the land to
those needs.
309
00:20:16,600 –> 00:20:19,000
And Joshua gets ready to divide
the land to those in the west.
310
00:20:19,900 –> 00:20:22,700
This is okay Canaan.
Let’s divide up your land and
311
00:20:22,700 –> 00:20:25,900
the first person knocking on his
door.
312
00:20:27,600 –> 00:20:30,800
Is Caleb.
And look at the memory of this
313
00:20:30,800 –> 00:20:35,100
man, he said unto him verse six.
Thou knowest the thing that’s
314
00:20:35,100 –> 00:20:38,200
Yahweh said to Moses, the man of
God concerning me and you and
315
00:20:38,200 –> 00:20:42,600
Kate his cornea 40 years old was
I when Moses the servant of
316
00:20:42,608 –> 00:20:45,900
Yahweh sent me from Kadesh
barnea, Justice pie, the land,
317
00:20:45,900 –> 00:20:49,900
and I brought him word again, as
it was in my heart, very
318
00:20:49,900 –> 00:20:54,000
important words.
Nevertheless, my brethren that
319
00:20:54,000 –> 00:20:58,000
went up with me made the heart
of the people melt Interesting
320
00:20:58,000 –> 00:21:02,900
language but I wholly followed
Yahweh, my God and Moses.
321
00:21:02,900 –> 00:21:06,300
Swear on that day.
Saying surely the land were on
322
00:21:06,300 –> 00:21:09,600
thy feet, have trod and shall be
thine inheritance and thy
323
00:21:09,600 –> 00:21:13,800
children’s forever because thou
Hast wholly, followed Yahweh my
324
00:21:13,800 –> 00:21:16,000
God.
And now behold, Yahweh has kept
325
00:21:16,000 –> 00:21:20,500
me alive.
As he said, these 45 years, even
326
00:21:20,500 –> 00:21:22,900
since you always speak this word
of the Moses, while the children
327
00:21:22,900 –> 00:21:25,100
of Israel wandered in the
wilderness and now low, I am
328
00:21:25,100 –> 00:21:30,200
this day. 85.
But verse 11.
329
00:21:31,500 –> 00:21:36,100
I’m a strong this day as I was
in that day as my strength was
330
00:21:36,100 –> 00:21:39,700
then even so is my strength.
Now, for war both to go out and
331
00:21:39,700 –> 00:21:42,400
to come in now.
Therefore, give me this
332
00:21:42,400 –> 00:21:45,600
mountain.
He says, we’re of the Lord spake
333
00:21:45,600 –> 00:21:49,400
in that day, for thou heardest
in that day how the anakim were
334
00:21:49,400 –> 00:21:53,500
there.
And that the cities were great
335
00:21:53,500 –> 00:21:57,700
and fenced.
If so be Yahweh will be with me.
336
00:21:59,000 –> 00:22:00,900
Then I shall be able to drive
them out.
337
00:22:01,300 –> 00:22:09,400
As Yahweh said, it’s given no
land on the West in Canaan yet
338
00:22:10,900 –> 00:22:13,200
and scriptures brings out.
Caleb.
339
00:22:15,200 –> 00:22:18,800
The most eager of all the
children of Israel.
340
00:22:20,400 –> 00:22:23,900
To claim his inheritance.
Caleb.
341
00:22:25,100 –> 00:22:30,500
Was ready to fight Giants.
Remember Caleb was a gentile who
342
00:22:30,500 –> 00:22:33,400
kept the Passover.
He was a gentile who witnessed
343
00:22:33,400 –> 00:22:37,000
God’s split the Red Sea in half
as he walked on dry land.
344
00:22:37,500 –> 00:22:41,200
He was a gentile who saw Yahweh.
Bring water out of a rock.
345
00:22:41,500 –> 00:22:47,800
He was a gentile who saw Yahweh
rain literal bread from Heaven
346
00:22:48,500 –> 00:22:53,100
every single day.
And he couldn’t help but be
347
00:22:53,100 –> 00:22:57,900
impressed with the Miracles and
the grace of this Israelite God.
348
00:22:58,600 –> 00:23:02,500
So when somebody like that, goes
to spy out, the land, when
349
00:23:02,500 –> 00:23:06,200
somebody like that goes to
conquer the land, 45 years later
350
00:23:06,300 –> 00:23:08,300
there was no such thing as a
giant, too big.
351
00:23:08,900 –> 00:23:11,100
There was no such thing as too
many Giants.
352
00:23:11,200 –> 00:23:14,800
I’ve seen what my God can do.
There.
353
00:23:14,800 –> 00:23:20,000
Nothing. he had seen firsthand
with the Israeli God was capable
354
00:23:20,000 –> 00:23:29,500
of and so We read in numbers, 13
verses 1, and 2 that Yahweh had
355
00:23:29,500 –> 00:23:33,600
already told the children of
Israel that he was going to give
356
00:23:33,600 –> 00:23:42,000
them the land, it was as good as
theirs if you remember. but what
357
00:23:42,000 –> 00:23:45,200
happens is the people say, well,
we should spinal and up first,
358
00:23:45,200 –> 00:23:50,400
we should see what we’re up
against And so what does God
359
00:23:50,400 –> 00:23:53,100
say?
Fine spy, the land except I want
360
00:23:53,100 –> 00:23:54,300
you to do.
One thing.
361
00:23:54,700 –> 00:23:57,700
One thing you didn’t mention was
I would like you to take one man
362
00:23:57,700 –> 00:24:00,200
from every tribe.
Why would he want one man from
363
00:24:00,200 –> 00:24:04,100
every tribe?
Well because while they’re
364
00:24:04,100 –> 00:24:07,400
spying they’re also planning.
What land do you get?
365
00:24:07,400 –> 00:24:11,200
What Land Is My Tribe get this
is what God’s ultimate purpose
366
00:24:11,200 –> 00:24:13,300
was.
He didn’t want the people to
367
00:24:13,300 –> 00:24:15,800
wonder.
He didn’t want the people to die
368
00:24:15,800 –> 00:24:17,500
an entire generation in the
wilderness.
369
00:24:17,700 –> 00:24:20,800
He says go into the land, bring
one from every tribe and decide
370
00:24:20,800 –> 00:24:24,300
who gets what land he’s trying
to accomplish.
371
00:24:24,300 –> 00:24:27,900
What we have to wait till Joshua
15 to figure out.
372
00:24:29,600 –> 00:24:32,400
And so he sends one person from
every tribe for that very
373
00:24:32,400 –> 00:24:38,900
reason, but we wait and we wait
and we wait until Joshua chapter
374
00:24:38,900 –> 00:24:41,700
14 and 15 till we can enter into
that land.
375
00:24:43,100 –> 00:24:45,300
And so, there was one man who
stood up.
376
00:24:47,800 –> 00:24:51,200
We probably know the story.
There was a overwhelming,
377
00:24:51,200 –> 00:24:55,100
majority of the spies return to
Moses with a very pessimistic
378
00:24:55,100 –> 00:24:58,900
attitude, a bring a message of
really complete Terror and Dread
379
00:24:58,900 –> 00:25:03,300
and sheared out.
There was one man who stands up
380
00:25:03,300 –> 00:25:08,000
among the crowd.
There was one individual who
381
00:25:08,000 –> 00:25:13,600
singles himself out and at this
point, Scriptures doesn’t say it
382
00:25:13,600 –> 00:25:19,100
was two men.
Numbers 13 and verse 29, the
383
00:25:19,100 –> 00:25:20,900
amalekites do on the land of the
South.
384
00:25:20,900 –> 00:25:23,000
And the Hittites, the jebusites.
In the amorites, dwell in the
385
00:25:23,000 –> 00:25:25,200
mountains and the Canaanites, 12
by the sea, in the coast of
386
00:25:25,208 –> 00:25:31,700
Jordan and Caleb.
Still, the people before Moses
387
00:25:32,100 –> 00:25:34,700
and said, let us go up at once
and possess it for.
388
00:25:34,700 –> 00:25:38,100
We are well able to overcome it.
Caleb alone.
389
00:25:38,200 –> 00:25:43,600
Stills, the people It was Caleb
who shouts those words and you
390
00:25:43,600 –> 00:25:45,400
can feel for Caleb at this
point.
391
00:25:45,400 –> 00:25:48,300
Can’t you the whole journey home
from the land?
392
00:25:48,300 –> 00:25:50,500
Was one of trying to convince
the other spies.
393
00:25:50,500 –> 00:25:53,500
That it was possible with God.
Do you know who your God is?
394
00:25:55,400 –> 00:25:57,100
What did you eat for breakfast
this morning?
395
00:25:59,200 –> 00:26:01,900
Nothing can stand in the way of
God’s Miracles, but yet, it was
396
00:26:02,100 –> 00:26:04,200
here.
And now that I think Caleb
397
00:26:04,200 –> 00:26:10,100
starts to feel that feeling that
you get When you know that
398
00:26:10,100 –> 00:26:12,500
feeling you have, when something
you know, is going to happen,
399
00:26:12,600 –> 00:26:14,000
it’s going to happen.
It’s going to happen is going to
400
00:26:14,000 –> 00:26:15,100
happen.
You just absolutely no without a
401
00:26:15,108 –> 00:26:17,200
doubt that’s going to happen.
That medical reports looking
402
00:26:17,200 –> 00:26:19,300
promising.
The promotional work looks, it’s
403
00:26:19,300 –> 00:26:22,100
as good as yours that vacation
that you’ve been planning for
404
00:26:22,100 –> 00:26:25,100
two years.
It’s tomorrow, but you know that
405
00:26:25,100 –> 00:26:28,600
feeling you get, it’s quick,
it’s terrible, it’s painful but
406
00:26:28,600 –> 00:26:30,100
you realize, it’s just dissolve,
it’s gone.
407
00:26:31,800 –> 00:26:34,800
Education is not happening,
flight was cancelled promotion,
408
00:26:34,800 –> 00:26:37,600
went to somebody else.
The house was sold from under
409
00:26:37,600 –> 00:26:40,700
your feet.
You know, that sinking feeling
410
00:26:40,700 –> 00:26:43,800
in your gut or you just like
there’s nothing can change, it’s
411
00:26:43,800 –> 00:26:45,900
done.
The bad news is true.
412
00:26:47,500 –> 00:26:49,200
Now he didn’t know he’s not
going to step foot in the land
413
00:26:49,200 –> 00:26:52,900
for 40 more years, but he knew
whatever was going to happen,
414
00:26:52,900 –> 00:26:56,100
was going to be bad.
So he pleads with the people,
415
00:26:56,100 –> 00:26:59,000
but to no avail, the other spies
spread their fear and their
416
00:26:59,000 –> 00:27:00,900
Drive in the hearts of all the
rest of the children of Israel
417
00:27:01,400 –> 00:27:04,600
rumors, start to spread the
three sons of Anakin or in the
418
00:27:04,600 –> 00:27:07,900
land.
The Giants of those stories that
419
00:27:07,900 –> 00:27:10,400
we’ve heard.
They’re absolutely true.
420
00:27:11,500 –> 00:27:14,300
She wants to think about, it was
too much work, that had to be
421
00:27:14,300 –> 00:27:18,500
done.
So it’s this little lesson that
422
00:27:18,500 –> 00:27:20,500
we come back to the seclusion
that willingness to be looked at
423
00:27:20,500 –> 00:27:23,600
on Monday.
Being Sons and Daughters of God,
424
00:27:23,600 –> 00:27:26,000
takes incredible.
Efforts of Faith, doesn’t it?
425
00:27:26,000 –> 00:27:28,300
Brothers and sisters.
The kingdom isn’t something that
426
00:27:28,300 –> 00:27:30,000
we’re going to get into
accidentally.
427
00:27:31,400 –> 00:27:35,000
Well, would you look at that?
I made it when Christ returns,
428
00:27:35,000 –> 00:27:37,600
there will be many people who
will stand before him knowing
429
00:27:37,700 –> 00:27:40,000
that their lives weren’t about
killing Giants.
430
00:27:40,400 –> 00:27:42,100
So much as being neighbors with
them.
431
00:27:43,500 –> 00:27:45,600
Let’s think for a moment about
the children of Israel have done
432
00:27:45,600 –> 00:27:51,300
so far and their wanderings that
justifies them to enter into the
433
00:27:51,308 –> 00:27:52,200
promised land.
What is God?
434
00:27:52,400 –> 00:27:56,000
See in and approves to him that
they deserve the land.
435
00:27:56,300 –> 00:27:58,900
Well, they Faithfully stood
behind Moses and they bowed in
436
00:27:58,900 –> 00:28:01,100
prayer, when Egypt, chase them
in corner them against the right
437
00:28:01,100 –> 00:28:02,900
seat.
That didn’t happen.
438
00:28:03,100 –> 00:28:05,600
They asked him faith and
humility, where they might find
439
00:28:05,600 –> 00:28:08,400
Hunter, grow their own food.
That didn’t happen.
440
00:28:08,600 –> 00:28:11,900
They patiently waited for Moses
to come down from the mountain
441
00:28:11,900 –> 00:28:13,800
to hear what he desired of the
next.
442
00:28:14,500 –> 00:28:16,700
I didn’t happen.
They approach their god with
443
00:28:16,700 –> 00:28:19,800
reverence and says where might
we be able to find or dig for
444
00:28:19,800 –> 00:28:22,900
water?
They plate, Lee asked for me to
445
00:28:22,900 –> 00:28:24,400
rather than bread.
None of these things happen,
446
00:28:24,400 –> 00:28:26,900
brothers, and sisters.
It was God who had to go out and
447
00:28:26,900 –> 00:28:30,000
prove his power once.
And again, it was God.
448
00:28:30,000 –> 00:28:31,600
Who went along with the demands
of the people?
449
00:28:31,600 –> 00:28:33,700
He gave them bread.
He gave them water and it was
450
00:28:33,700 –> 00:28:36,500
God’s mercy.
He didn’t just completely wipe
451
00:28:36,500 –> 00:28:39,800
them out.
When they made the golden calf.
452
00:28:41,500 –> 00:28:45,100
So when they get to the promised
land, they’ve really done
453
00:28:45,100 –> 00:28:47,200
nothing at all.
It makes us think that there
454
00:28:47,200 –> 00:28:49,300
going to be any different now
that they’ve gotten there.
455
00:28:51,300 –> 00:28:56,100
It sound familiar.
That’s my life.
456
00:28:57,600 –> 00:29:00,300
I’ve got had gone ahead.
If God had gone ahead and kill
457
00:29:00,300 –> 00:29:05,800
the Giants, Israel would have
been content to ensure the land,
458
00:29:06,300 –> 00:29:08,800
probably not thrilled.
Probably would’ve been something
459
00:29:08,800 –> 00:29:10,900
the matter but you have been,
okay.
460
00:29:12,000 –> 00:29:14,400
But since they were alive, stand
tall is ever the Israelites did
461
00:29:14,400 –> 00:29:16,400
what they do best.
They decided to put in really as
462
00:29:16,400 –> 00:29:18,500
little effort as they possibly
can, they wanted to go back to
463
00:29:18,500 –> 00:29:21,500
Egypt, is this happen in our
walk brothers and sisters?
464
00:29:21,500 –> 00:29:25,000
If it requires us to do
something, Well, Egypt was
465
00:29:25,000 –> 00:29:29,900
easier.
God has Mercy to give us
466
00:29:30,200 –> 00:29:33,900
abundantly.
Abundantly.
467
00:29:35,000 –> 00:29:37,300
But in the case of the wandering
Israelites, it simply expired,
468
00:29:37,300 –> 00:29:40,300
it ignored it for too long, an
entire generation who just
469
00:29:40,300 –> 00:29:42,300
couldn’t bring themselves into
put that in that effort.
470
00:29:42,400 –> 00:29:45,300
They wandered until scripture
says their carcasses wasted in
471
00:29:45,300 –> 00:29:49,800
the wilderness.
But just like Caleb stands up, a
472
00:29:49,800 –> 00:29:52,200
number should be 13.
And he Stills, the people
473
00:29:53,000 –> 00:29:56,600
numbers 14, the very next,
chapter singles him out yet
474
00:29:56,600 –> 00:29:59,300
again.
And it says, the numbers, 14
475
00:30:00,200 –> 00:30:04,600
verse 21.
But as truly, as I live all, the
476
00:30:04,600 –> 00:30:09,800
Earth shall be filled with the
glory of Yahweh, We know the
477
00:30:09,800 –> 00:30:11,200
story.
Hopefully numbers 14.
478
00:30:11,200 –> 00:30:14,200
God wants to eliminate the
people start over with Moses and
479
00:30:14,200 –> 00:30:17,200
we find out really, why Moses is
the most humble man to ever ever
480
00:30:17,200 –> 00:30:20,000
live.
He says, remember that thing
481
00:30:20,000 –> 00:30:23,600
about Israel being great.
Rest.
482
00:30:23,600 –> 00:30:26,700
The nations would look at Israel
and say who was their God?
483
00:30:27,100 –> 00:30:30,000
He just killed them, shouldn’t
do that.
484
00:30:30,300 –> 00:30:35,500
And so God says I will be with
them but Moses do not forget the
485
00:30:35,500 –> 00:30:37,700
whole earth will be filled with
my glory.
486
00:30:40,000 –> 00:30:42,700
Verse 22, because all those men
which have seen my glory, my
487
00:30:42,700 –> 00:30:45,600
Miracles, which I didn’t Egypt.
And in the wilderness of tend to
488
00:30:45,600 –> 00:30:46,900
be.
Now, these ten times have not
489
00:30:46,900 –> 00:30:49,300
hearken to my voice.
Surely they shall not see the
490
00:30:49,300 –> 00:30:52,600
land, which I swear unto their
fathers neither shall any of
491
00:30:52,600 –> 00:30:57,500
them that provoked me.
See it, but My servant, Caleb.
492
00:30:59,900 –> 00:31:02,500
Because he had another spirit
with him, and that followed me,
493
00:31:02,600 –> 00:31:04,900
fully him.
Will I bring him to the land
494
00:31:04,900 –> 00:31:07,700
where?
And he went and his seed shall
495
00:31:07,700 –> 00:31:13,500
possess it in this context.
Caleb is the only one to enter
496
00:31:13,500 –> 00:31:14,900
into the land.
From that generation.
497
00:31:15,000 –> 00:31:18,500
We know Joshua made it.
We know other people made it but
498
00:31:18,500 –> 00:31:20,800
scriptures, right?
After that, amazing verse number
499
00:31:20,800 –> 00:31:26,600
14, 21 says Caleb is the man
Because he wholly, followed.
500
00:31:27,600 –> 00:31:34,300
After me.
It says in verse 24 that he had
501
00:31:34,300 –> 00:31:37,500
a different Spirit.
As the ESV puts it, it was
502
00:31:37,500 –> 00:31:39,000
different from the rest of the
entire nations.
503
00:31:39,000 –> 00:31:43,900
What it was different then The
people had put God to the test
504
00:31:43,900 –> 00:31:47,400
10 different times and it was
this time, it was a murmuring.
505
00:31:47,400 –> 00:31:51,200
It was a disbelief.
But it was more than that and
506
00:31:51,200 –> 00:31:54,700
Deuteronomy we read the addition
at they murmured in their tents
507
00:31:55,500 –> 00:31:56,900
wasn’t bad enough.
They didn’t want to fight for
508
00:31:56,900 –> 00:32:00,900
their inheritance but they sat
it out entirely They weren’t
509
00:32:00,900 –> 00:32:02,900
ready for the battle.
They were complaining in their
510
00:32:02,900 –> 00:32:07,100
tents.
Do we ever get absolutely fed up
511
00:32:07,100 –> 00:32:08,600
with something?
Maybe it’s a struggle in our
512
00:32:08,600 –> 00:32:09,500
life.
Maybe it’s Pride.
513
00:32:09,500 –> 00:32:11,500
So it’s just distractions.
We know it’s a struggle.
514
00:32:11,500 –> 00:32:13,000
We know it’s a giant.
Yeah.
515
00:32:13,300 –> 00:32:17,100
But instead of dealing with the
issue we simply say, this is who
516
00:32:17,100 –> 00:32:21,200
I am.
It’s what makes me me.
517
00:32:22,800 –> 00:32:25,400
If God didn’t want me to have
this giant, this flaw.
518
00:32:25,500 –> 00:32:26,700
Well, he wouldn’t have given it
to me.
519
00:32:29,400 –> 00:32:31,800
Sound familiar.
They’ve already checked out the
520
00:32:31,800 –> 00:32:34,800
murmuring turn to complaining
the complaining during the
521
00:32:34,800 –> 00:32:38,000
rebellion and rebellion was what
got them killed.
522
00:32:39,900 –> 00:32:44,700
We come to Caleb, a man who had
a different spirit.
523
00:32:45,900 –> 00:32:55,200
A different attitude.
And so we read that we come back
524
00:32:55,200 –> 00:32:59,200
to Joshua, chapter 14, and we
see the first time that Caleb
525
00:32:59,200 –> 00:33:02,100
comes back on the scene, we
haven’t seen or heard from him
526
00:33:02,100 –> 00:33:04,900
in person since Numbers Chapter
13.
527
00:33:05,000 –> 00:33:07,600
When he spies the land, he tries
to talk them into coming into
528
00:33:07,600 –> 00:33:10,200
land and then we hear from,
yeah, he’s knocking on Joshua’s
529
00:33:10,200 –> 00:33:15,200
door saying, remember that land
Hebron Can I go take it?
530
00:33:16,200 –> 00:33:19,800
Can I go slay the giants that
are in that land?
531
00:33:21,700 –> 00:33:24,000
Kid reminds Joshua.
The promise it Moses had made to
532
00:33:24,000 –> 00:33:26,200
him.
He tells me exactly when exactly
533
00:33:26,200 –> 00:33:30,700
where he was and then he says
something completely crazy.
534
00:33:32,600 –> 00:33:37,700
He says, I’m 85 years old.
And I’m as strong as I was back
535
00:33:37,700 –> 00:33:40,400
then.
Really.
536
00:33:41,900 –> 00:33:44,900
Do you think he was actually as
strong as he was when he was 40?
537
00:33:46,500 –> 00:33:48,500
Or did the strength not ever,
come from him in the first
538
00:33:48,500 –> 00:33:52,100
place?
That’s what Deuteronomy
539
00:33:52,100 –> 00:33:55,800
yesterday was all about.
Strength, isn’t yours, and I
540
00:33:55,808 –> 00:33:58,900
could picture Caleb in the front
row of Moses speech when he was
541
00:33:58,900 –> 00:34:03,100
giving Deuteronomy an 80 year.
Old man goose bumps on his arms.
542
00:34:03,200 –> 00:34:05,700
He was ready.
He had been waiting for this
543
00:34:05,700 –> 00:34:08,800
day.
The strength was from, their
544
00:34:08,800 –> 00:34:12,000
God.
Which is why you can come to
545
00:34:12,007 –> 00:34:13,900
this chapter and find that he
did exactly that.
546
00:34:13,900 –> 00:34:17,199
And 85 year old man took his
little family and he went up in
547
00:34:17,199 –> 00:34:19,400
Concord the very people that
kept them out of land the first
548
00:34:19,400 –> 00:34:22,800
place.
All the tribes seem to be
549
00:34:22,800 –> 00:34:24,699
struggling getting their act
together.
550
00:34:24,800 –> 00:34:28,800
Caleb single-handedly destroys
the Giants that were occupying,
551
00:34:28,900 –> 00:34:33,900
his piece of Promised Land,
Joshua 15, 13 and unto Caleb,
552
00:34:33,900 –> 00:34:35,900
the son of jephunneh.
He gave a part on the children
553
00:34:35,900 –> 00:34:39,199
of Judah according to the
Commandment of Yahweh to Joshua.
554
00:34:39,400 –> 00:34:43,400
Even the city of our become, the
father of a knack.
555
00:34:43,400 –> 00:34:48,900
Which city is Hebron?
Joshua 15 verse 14 and Caleb
556
00:34:48,900 –> 00:34:52,400
drove vents, the three Is of a
neck.
557
00:34:53,500 –> 00:34:59,000
Sheesh, I Hyman tell my the
children of a neck.
558
00:35:02,000 –> 00:35:06,000
He marches to the people of a
knack he conquers them and he
559
00:35:06,000 –> 00:35:12,000
drives them out of the land.
Brother and sisters.
560
00:35:13,500 –> 00:35:17,900
This is a gentile.
In the land of Israel who wanted
561
00:35:17,900 –> 00:35:21,100
his inheritance more than
anything else, he wanted his
562
00:35:21,100 –> 00:35:27,800
piece of the Promised Land.
You see this inheritance was so
563
00:35:27,800 –> 00:35:32,800
much more than just a city
Hebron held such significance.
564
00:35:33,000 –> 00:35:36,300
They had spied it out.
This is where Sarah was buried
565
00:35:36,300 –> 00:35:40,300
and all the forefathers of
Israel, it stood for Union and
566
00:35:40,300 –> 00:35:44,500
Confederacy from Genesis, 14
Victory, despite impossible,
567
00:35:44,500 –> 00:35:49,200
odds Genesis 14, the covenants
of Abraham, the forefathers
568
00:35:49,200 –> 00:35:52,100
lived in this very land and
Caleb would have known these
569
00:35:52,100 –> 00:35:54,700
things.
He would have looked at Union
570
00:35:54,700 –> 00:35:58,400
and Confederacy and Hebrews and
Gentiles could inherit the same
571
00:35:58,400 –> 00:36:02,900
thing.
Victory, nothing is too hard
572
00:36:02,900 –> 00:36:08,000
with God now, Giants too large.
Caleb would have been part of
573
00:36:08,000 –> 00:36:12,000
the covenants given unto Abraham
and he was given land as his
574
00:36:12,000 –> 00:36:15,100
inheritance.
You see brother and sisters.
575
00:36:15,100 –> 00:36:17,900
Caleb believed that belief beats
giants.
576
00:36:19,700 –> 00:36:22,300
That’s how he conquers them in
verses 13 to 15.
577
00:36:24,800 –> 00:36:27,700
We’re going to skim through a
couple of these slides here for
578
00:36:27,700 –> 00:36:33,200
sake of time, but Hebron becomes
a mighty City in Israel’s
579
00:36:33,200 –> 00:36:36,200
history, a City of Refuge, a
city.
580
00:36:36,200 –> 00:36:38,300
It was given to the high priest
and the capital of David’s
581
00:36:38,300 –> 00:36:40,000
Empire for seven and a half
years.
582
00:36:41,600 –> 00:36:43,700
Ephesians 3 Verse 6, we don’t
have time to look into it too
583
00:36:43,700 –> 00:36:47,600
much, but as a verse that really
says, Caleb and type.
584
00:36:48,800 –> 00:36:51,400
Well than anything else.
I think that the Gentiles should
585
00:36:51,400 –> 00:36:54,900
be fellow heirs and of the same
body and partakers of his
586
00:36:54,900 –> 00:37:00,600
promise in Christ we’re skip
over a couple of those verses
587
00:37:00,600 –> 00:37:07,800
and let’s wrap up with Looking
at our quick guide here, as we
588
00:37:07,800 –> 00:37:11,100
wrap up our studies on the
adventures of scriptures
589
00:37:11,100 –> 00:37:15,500
greatest Giant Slayer, we move
to a new page, Caleb, the Giant
590
00:37:15,500 –> 00:37:18,200
Slayer and we have here two
questions for today.
591
00:37:19,100 –> 00:37:20,700
And I’ve given you two days off
on homework.
592
00:37:20,700 –> 00:37:23,300
So there actually is another
piece of homework in here, but
593
00:37:23,300 –> 00:37:24,900
let’s use another giant as an
example.
594
00:37:27,100 –> 00:37:28,500
Let’s bring Carl back in the
picture.
595
00:37:29,600 –> 00:37:31,000
We have heard from him in a
couple days.
596
00:37:31,400 –> 00:37:32,800
By the way, I’ll say to get in
this class.
597
00:37:33,500 –> 00:37:36,900
I know a couple Carl’s like
leisurely and professionally.
598
00:37:37,500 –> 00:37:41,900
They’re all terrific.
My wife and I actually had a
599
00:37:41,900 –> 00:37:45,700
brother Carl officiate our
wedding and I’ve known him for
600
00:37:45,700 –> 00:37:48,100
years and I’ve come to respect
and love him dearly so my
601
00:37:48,100 –> 00:37:50,500
apologies to any Carl’s but I’m
positive.
602
00:37:51,300 –> 00:37:52,900
If you’re calling you’re
listening, you’re a fantastic
603
00:37:52,900 –> 00:38:00,400
person but under my example if
my Giant Is the following no
604
00:38:00,400 –> 00:38:04,700
matter how hard I try.
I just can’t seem to get along
605
00:38:04,700 –> 00:38:07,200
with brother Carl, if that’s why
Giant.
606
00:38:08,300 –> 00:38:12,000
It’s at this point now where I
actually hesitate on going to
607
00:38:12,000 –> 00:38:14,800
meeting because I don’t know,
we’ll see him.
608
00:38:14,800 –> 00:38:17,900
And I don’t want that awkward.
Like he’s walking into the
609
00:38:17,900 –> 00:38:19,500
restroom and I’m walking out of
the restroom.
610
00:38:19,500 –> 00:38:22,000
It’s like a man.
So I don’t want this Aqua.
611
00:38:22,000 –> 00:38:24,900
No meetings on Zoom, I’m going
to sit this week out.
612
00:38:26,000 –> 00:38:28,400
It’s at the point now where this
is a big giant.
613
00:38:29,400 –> 00:38:31,900
If this is my giant, how do I
beat it?
614
00:38:31,900 –> 00:38:36,600
Where does this usefulness of
asking these questions come in?
615
00:38:38,200 –> 00:38:40,600
Now because since this is my
giant, I’ve actually started to
616
00:38:40,600 –> 00:38:44,200
share all kinds of Carl’s Antics
with the brothers and sisters.
617
00:38:45,200 –> 00:38:48,200
I’ve told him all about how he
does X and how he says, why?
618
00:38:48,700 –> 00:38:52,800
And he only said that, because
he knew I was listening, which
619
00:38:52,800 –> 00:38:54,500
was true.
I was totally dropping on him.
620
00:38:55,100 –> 00:38:57,900
But now in hindsight, I really
tainted calls reputation.
621
00:38:57,900 –> 00:39:00,200
In the eyes of seven, brothers
and sisters.
622
00:39:00,400 –> 00:39:03,300
My kids don’t like Carl but have
no idea why?
623
00:39:03,800 –> 00:39:07,300
And to hold a closure can feel a
rift between Jason and Carl.
624
00:39:08,700 –> 00:39:11,700
They can feel the Giant and its
really actually starting to
625
00:39:11,700 –> 00:39:15,600
affect more than just him.
And I let’s say this is my
626
00:39:15,600 –> 00:39:19,300
Giant.
How do I tackle that giant?
627
00:39:19,300 –> 00:39:24,000
How do I slay a giant like that?
Well, in case you haven’t
628
00:39:24,000 –> 00:39:27,000
figured it out by now, Giants
aren’t easy.
629
00:39:28,500 –> 00:39:31,300
But let’s go through and see if
I can apply some of my rules.
630
00:39:32,900 –> 00:39:37,400
What kind of giant it’s
brotherly cooperation, but I’ve
631
00:39:37,400 –> 00:39:41,600
scrambled it to b-roll Bright
Cornetto, be that way.
632
00:39:41,900 –> 00:39:44,100
The guy behind me can actually
read what my giant.
633
00:39:44,100 –> 00:39:49,100
It’s the location is a
stronghold, it’s an occlusal
634
00:39:49,100 –> 00:39:51,700
functions.
I can’t simply just switch a
635
00:39:51,700 –> 00:39:54,600
Collegiate every time this kind
of thing comes up but I named my
636
00:39:54,600 –> 00:40:00,500
giant Corporal petite.
Sino and I use the verse in 1st,
637
00:40:00,500 –> 00:40:03,800
John 4, verse 19, as homework,
which I was assigned.
638
00:40:04,300 –> 00:40:08,100
That says, if you hate your
brother, And you hate me.
639
00:40:09,900 –> 00:40:14,100
And it hurts to read.
But I need to learn to love even
640
00:40:14,100 –> 00:40:18,300
Carl.
The next page I do truly fully
641
00:40:18,300 –> 00:40:20,100
believe that I can beat my
giant.
642
00:40:20,200 –> 00:40:22,700
The doubts that I see our pride
is going to get in the way.
643
00:40:23,200 –> 00:40:25,900
I’m very uncomfortable with what
he might say back to me.
644
00:40:26,100 –> 00:40:30,400
And I’m probably right. those
are my Giants that I see
645
00:40:30,500 –> 00:40:34,700
physically and I don’t want to
get my own feelings hurt, kind
646
00:40:34,700 –> 00:40:39,600
of fine hurting his, but if he
says any back to me, but I’m
647
00:40:39,600 –> 00:40:42,400
going to try to hold my tongue.
When the conversation comes up,
648
00:40:42,900 –> 00:40:47,800
I add it to my prayer list that
I need humility.
649
00:40:48,900 –> 00:40:53,700
And I also asked in prayer if
God could present a natural
650
00:40:53,700 –> 00:40:57,100
opportunity to present itself,
that I can talk to him about our
651
00:40:57,107 –> 00:40:59,500
issues, I don’t want this to be
something where I call him up,
652
00:40:59,500 –> 00:41:02,000
and organize a tiny meet at
Starbucks or something.
653
00:41:02,500 –> 00:41:05,700
I’m hoping that I can just
stumble into natural
654
00:41:05,700 –> 00:41:08,300
opportunity.
Well somehow, my prayer was
655
00:41:08,300 –> 00:41:11,300
answered the very next day when
our four-year-old cited randomly
656
00:41:11,300 –> 00:41:14,700
that they’re best friends and
just because their birthdays are
657
00:41:14,700 –> 00:41:17,300
both in September.
So, what happens now is I have
658
00:41:17,300 –> 00:41:21,200
to take over my four-year-old to
his house for a playdate.
659
00:41:21,800 –> 00:41:24,400
Well, I took this as answered
prayers, I accepted the
660
00:41:24,400 –> 00:41:27,500
opportunity and I decided I’m
going to remove these Giants by
661
00:41:27,500 –> 00:41:31,100
bringing over some wings.
Whatever barbecue merge going to
662
00:41:31,100 –> 00:41:36,700
chat it out like old times.
Well, turns out after the chat,
663
00:41:37,000 –> 00:41:38,500
I was completely wrong about his
motives.
664
00:41:39,200 –> 00:41:41,500
Turns out his actions related to
a much bigger issue, with his
665
00:41:41,500 –> 00:41:44,000
parents who are in and out of
the truth and he’s really
666
00:41:44,000 –> 00:41:48,500
struggling with that.
So I feel like my giant has just
667
00:41:48,500 –> 00:41:52,300
been lifted off my shoulders.
I’m more than happy to attend
668
00:41:52,300 –> 00:41:55,200
ecclesial been skin.
I would say that this giant has
669
00:41:55,200 –> 00:41:56,700
been eliminated.
I can check it off.
670
00:41:58,000 –> 00:42:00,700
I’ll start a new pamphlet on my
next Giant.
671
00:42:02,600 –> 00:42:06,800
Brother.
Steve It’s going to be a bigger
672
00:42:06,800 –> 00:42:09,300
giant.
But I’ll deal with that one
673
00:42:09,300 –> 00:42:13,800
tomorrow.
So how do I plan to cleanse this
674
00:42:13,800 –> 00:42:17,500
place from Giants?
I brought over some wings.
675
00:42:19,300 –> 00:42:22,300
We just talked.
Is it hard?
676
00:42:23,800 –> 00:42:26,400
I’ve been the hardest thing I’ve
ever done, but the Giants dead.
677
00:42:27,900 –> 00:42:31,100
The next question is, how can I
defend this location from future
678
00:42:31,100 –> 00:42:33,700
Giants?
How do I make sure that this
679
00:42:33,700 –> 00:42:37,200
doesn’t happen again?
How do I make sure that he
680
00:42:37,207 –> 00:42:41,200
doesn’t rear his ugly head?
Maybe I can make wings Wednesday
681
00:42:41,200 –> 00:42:44,700
a thing.
I’ll bring over the wings, he’ll
682
00:42:44,700 –> 00:42:48,400
provide the barbecue, it’s a
better barbecue anyway, and
683
00:42:48,600 –> 00:42:50,300
we’ll just have open
communication.
684
00:42:51,100 –> 00:42:53,800
Maybe I can explain to the seven
brothers and sisters who thanks
685
00:42:53,800 –> 00:42:57,600
to me have a tarnished view of
coral that I completely
686
00:42:57,600 –> 00:43:02,000
misunderstood the situation.
I can repair his reputation and
687
00:43:02,000 –> 00:43:04,400
it’s crucial that.
Now I show that the rift has
688
00:43:04,400 –> 00:43:06,400
been healed to the rest of my
Ecclesia.
689
00:43:09,700 –> 00:43:11,700
Because I have to defend this
location now.
690
00:43:12,800 –> 00:43:16,900
Hebron stood strong, so your
homework.
691
00:43:18,000 –> 00:43:19,300
I hope you enjoyed your two days
off.
692
00:43:20,000 –> 00:43:23,100
How can you make sure this
location stays giant free for
693
00:43:23,100 –> 00:43:28,000
not only you but your brothers
and sisters I explain to my
694
00:43:28,000 –> 00:43:31,600
kids.
The think are all I had was just
695
00:43:31,600 –> 00:43:36,200
temporary little spat.
We like Carl, he’s a fantastic
696
00:43:36,200 –> 00:43:38,700
brother.
Let’s do tomorrow.
697
00:43:39,000 –> 00:43:42,100
See if you can come up with
where your giant lives, and
698
00:43:42,100 –> 00:43:44,200
we’re going to skim through
these last couple slides.
699
00:43:44,200 –> 00:43:49,900
But Joshua chapter 11 says that
Joshua, in that Conquest section
700
00:43:49,900 –> 00:43:53,500
the beginning of Joshua, he
conquered the anakim in Hebron.
701
00:43:56,600 –> 00:44:00,400
It didn’t stay Concord.
Caleb would have to come back
702
00:44:00,400 –> 00:44:04,200
again and conquer the anakim in
Hebron.
703
00:44:07,500 –> 00:44:10,100
We need to make sure that our
location stay giant free for a
704
00:44:10,100 –> 00:44:14,300
long, long time because they can
affect more than just our own
705
00:44:14,300 –> 00:44:17,800
lives.
It says in Joshua 11, Joshua’s
706
00:44:17,800 –> 00:44:20,900
Endeavors and at the time came,
Joshua and cut off the anakim
707
00:44:20,900 –> 00:44:24,200
from the mountains from Hebron,
from deburr, from a nap.
708
00:44:24,200 –> 00:44:26,400
And from all the mountains of
Judea and from all the mountains
709
00:44:26,400 –> 00:44:30,300
of Israel, Joshua destroyed them
utterly with their cities,
710
00:44:32,200 –> 00:44:36,200
Joshua Fought the anakim and
Hebron Caleb had a comeback.
711
00:44:38,200 –> 00:44:41,300
Read a very interesting verse in
verse 22 of Joshua 11.
712
00:44:42,700 –> 00:44:46,300
There was none of the anakim
left. in the land of the
713
00:44:46,300 –> 00:44:56,500
children of Israel, except In
Gaza in gath and in ashdod there
714
00:44:56,500 –> 00:45:01,300
remained.
So Giants remained in gath.
715
00:45:02,800 –> 00:45:06,800
May 12, therefore many, many
more Generations, integrated
716
00:45:06,800 –> 00:45:10,000
themselves, deeply into the
Philistine civilization over
717
00:45:10,000 –> 00:45:13,700
time.
Until they were slain by one
718
00:45:14,300 –> 00:45:20,000
righteous, giant-slayer a
Shepherd, the warrior and the
719
00:45:20,008 –> 00:45:24,800
king who fought Giants when he
was nothing but a boy.
