24/10/2025

Summary.
When rebellion against God's authority emerged, He had to choose between remaining the holy and loving ruler or giving up His leadership to a rebellious being. The Bible shows God as the righteous authority, leading to inevitable conflict between good and evil.

When chaotic powers defied God, He, as the Sovereign Lord, intervened. The image of God as a warrior hints at His ultimate victory over evil. Israel's battles reflect this cosmic struggle and anticipate God's judgment.

Ellen G. White noted that Israel was meant to enter the land through obedience, not warfare, after their earlier permission was withdrawn.

Discussion Questions:
1.How does the cosmic conflict help us understand God commanding Israel to war?
2.What is our role in the great controversy, and how do we fulfill it?
3.How can we apply the principle of waiting for the Lord in our spiritual lives?
4.How should our attitude change regarding disagreements in church, based on Joshua 5:13-15?

The Second-Best Option
Read Exodus 17:7-13 and Joshua 6:15-20.
Summary
After the Exodus, Israel's first battle was against the Amalekites as recorded in Exodus 17. The Israelites had seen God’s power in freeing them from Egypt and had received guidance on avoiding conflicts with others. However, during their journey, they started to doubt God's presence. In response, God allowed the Amalekites to attack to help them learn to trust Him again.

God's message emphasized returning to total reliance on divine support. The laws of warfare were given later, after years in the wilderness due to Israel's unbelief. Any new challenges, including the need to defeat the Canaanites, required new strategies. Participating in battles was also a test of Israel's loyalty to God, showing that they needed to rely on His power.

Israel's involvement in conflicts helped them build trust in God’s assistance, but they were reminded that victory depended on their faith in His promises. Ultimately, their choices influenced the outcomes of their battles.

The Lord Will Fight for You
Summary
In Exodus 14:13-14, God assures the Israelites that they do not need to fight, as He will deliver them from the Egyptians. Moses tells the people to remain calm and trust in God’s power to protect them. The Egyptians recognize this as well, stating that the Lord fights for Israel. This moment marks a crucial pattern where God intervenes on behalf of Israel without them needing to engage in battle. God alone is the warrior, directing the efforts and strategies.

Ellen G. White explains that God intended for the Israelites to enter the Promised Land through obedience rather than warfare, highlighting His desire for them to trust Him fully. History shows that when Israel placed their trust in God, they were spared from fighting. Their eventual involvement in battles was a result of their lack of faith. White emphasizes that their complaints against God led to conflict. The text suggests reflecting on how complaints might affect our own lives today.

The Lord Is a Warrior
Exodus 2:23-25; Exodus 12:12-13; and Exodus 15:3-11.

The Israelites, during their time in Egypt, lost their true God and mixed pagan elements into their religious practices. The Lord intervened on their behalf, but the conflict was more than a power struggle between Moses and the pharaoh. The Lord inflicted judgment on the gods of Egypt, the powerful demons behind the oppressive power and unjust social system. God is at war with sin and will not tolerate this conflict forever. The battles against the Canaanites are seen as an earlier stage of this conflict, which will reach its apex on the cross and culminate in the final judgment when God's justice and love are vindicated.

Lesson 4 October 18-24
The Conflict Behind All Conflicts
Texts .Josh. 5:13-15; Isa. 37:16; Rev. 12:7-9; Deut. 32:17; Exod. 14:13-14; Josh. 6:15-20
Summary of this weeks Lesson
This week’s study focuses on the Book of Joshua, highlighting the military campaigns commanded by God in the conquest of Canaan. The text emphasizes that God is portrayed as the force behind these conflicts, a theme supported by various accounts within Joshua. This raises challenging questions regarding the actions of God’s chosen people and how to reconcile God’s warlike image with His loving character. The study aims to tackle the complex issue of divinely commanded wars in Joshua and related texts over the next couple of weeks.

Beyond the Jordan

Summary
The crossings of the Red Sea and the Jordan River are important events in biblical history, symbolizing significant changes for the Israelites. Psalms 66 and 114 connect these crossings, emphasizing their shared theological importance rather than their chronological differences. Both events symbolize Israel's transformation from slavery to freedom and from wandering to nationhood. The psalmist reflects on these changes as a shift from oppression to dignity.

Additionally, Elijah's crossing at the Jordan leads to his ascent to heaven, marking a critical change in his life, while Elisha becomes the prophet of Israel. In the New Testament, writers Matthew and Mark imply that the Jordan River has spiritual significance. Jesus' life mirrors Israel's history; he escapes to Egypt, faces a period in the wilderness, and is baptized in the Jordan, marking the start of his public ministry. Furthermore, Hebrews highlights the Jordan crossing as a symbol of the "rest of grace" for believers.

Forgetfulness
Read Joshua 4:20-24 in the light of the following verses: Judg. 3:7; Judg. 8:34; Ps. 78:11; Deut. 8:2, 18; Ps. 45:17. Why was it so important to remember the mighty deeds of the Lord
Summary
In Joshua 4:23, the Jordan River's drying is mentioned as happening before "you," referring to the Israelites crossing, while the Red Sea event is described as happening before "us," referring to the earlier generation. Both events are significant for their respective generations, allowing the second generation to learn and understand their meaning through their parents' experiences.

Forgetfulness is a common human trait, but in a spiritual context, it can have serious consequences. To maintain our identity and mission, we must create moments to refresh our spiritual memory. This helps us remember our origins, who we are, and our purpose.

Read 1 Corinthians 11:24-25 and John 14:26. Ask why it's essential to remember Christ's actions. Also, consider why daily experiences with God are necessary, despite past memories of His work in our lives.

Remember
Read Joshua 4.
Summary
The stones mentioned serve as a “sign,” derived from the Hebrew word ’ot, which relates to wonders or miracles by God. These signs symbolize deeper spiritual truths, such as the rainbow signifying God's covenant, blood marking Israelite homes, and the Sabbath representing Creation. The stones act as a memorial (zikkaron), encouraging remembrance through meaningful actions, rather than mere recall. By establishing these monuments, God intends for future generations to ask the personal question, “What are these stones to you? ” Each generation is encouraged to understand and internalize the significance of God’s miracles, ensuring that faith remains alive and relevant, distinct from mere tradition.

Reflect on personal memorials in your life that help you remember God’s acts.
