Joshua 12 - Conquest of the North | Bible Podcast, David Alley, Peace Christian Church

In this video listen to Joshua 12 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer.In Joshua 12 it lists all the defeated king. It lists 31 kings west of the Jordan, but there were the two (Sihon and Og) east of the Jordan too making it 33 in total. This list is a tally of the victories of Joshua which took at least about 7 years to complete, based on an understanding of Joshua 14:10. There are a number of atonement models for Jesus death at Calvary.One of them, the Christus Victor model focuses on Christ’s defeat of Satan and his obtaining ofo good things for us. Here we see the demonstration of Joshua as the Christus Victor, the one who overcome evil and opened up the good things for God’s people. Scripture tells us in Colossians 2:15 that “And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.” Christ is our Joshua having conquered all the kings that fought against us.
