Q

What part of “salvation” is seen in crossing the Jordan River?

A

Salvation is received.

The book of Joshua is a story of victory and blessing for the faithful. For this reason, the crossing of the Jordan is a symbol of salvation. Christ died for us (the exodus) so we put our full trust in him and cross into his land.

Q

What is the revealed truth found in the genocide of the Canaanites?

A

The revealed truth here, under the new covenant, is the believers need to purge all sin from one’s life. If you ‘have mercy’ on any sin within you, it will become a contaminant and a grave danger to your spiritual survival. You must declare complete warfare on all known sin leaving ‘no quarter’ (“take no prisoners”) to the enemy.

Describe the significance of the scarlet cord hanging from Rahab’s window.

A

Like the scarlet cord hanging from a sinners window, so the blood of Christ also created a haven of protection from the judgment of God for anyone, good or bad, young or old, slave or free, as long as they came into that sanctuary.

25
Q

What are the warnings learned from ‘using a fleece’ in the story of Gideon?

A
  1. If taking Scripture as a whole, it would seem that as one’s relationship with God deepens, the need for such prayers is reduced. (praying for signs from God)
  2. a fleece can easily degenerate into an unhealthy forms of shamanism. As these forms of prayer rarely occur in Scripture it is probable that God intends that they should be rare in our lives as well, otherwise they could be abused and used as ‘charms’ to ‘conjure’ an answer from God. This can reduce the relational aspect of prayer to simple button-pushing.
