Joshua 1 Research Paper

1227 Words5 Pages

The historical books of the Bible did not only talk about the history of the time and what was happening, but these books also showed many qualities of God. Three books in particular showed me the most about God: Joshua, Judges, and 1st Samuel. The book of Joshua shows many characteristics about God, especially His never-ending power. The one example of this is the story where the sun stood still. In Joshua 10: 1-15, Joshua said “sun, stand still over Gibeon, and you, moon, over the Valley of Aijalon” (NIV). Then, the Bible said that the sun and moon stood still for about a full day. Now, I know that Joshua himself did not make the sun stand still, but it was thanks to God. God loves his people and knew that they were in battle and needed extra daylight to win the battle. The Lord was fighting for Israel! By making the sun and moon stand still, God allowed Joshua and his army to win the battle! Nobody else in the whole entire universe could ever make this happen except God, and that is why this story is truly remarkable. I learned from this story that if God …show more content…

All over the Old Testament, we see hints and clues that lead up to Jesus dying for our sins on the cross. Joshua’s name is one of these clues. When translated, the Greek name Jesus is equivalent to the Hebrew name Joshua. Their names are the exact same when translated through different languages. On our note guide, it says “All that Israel received in the Promised Land came through the leadership of Joshua and whatever we receive from God, we receive through Jesus Christ, our Joshua”. Since their names are the same, it was if God was foreshadowing Jesus and showing us His plans. Not only does it show that God has a plan for Jesus, but it lets me know that He has a plan for me. No matter how crazy my life seems or how bad of days I have, I know in my heart that God has a plan for my life. He will use me to glorify His name and to show His

Joshua Johnson Research Papers

339 Words | 2 Pages

Joshua Johnson Joshua Johnson was an African-American painter who lived in the Baltimore area. Johnson, often viewed as the first African-American to make a living out of painting in the United States, is well-known for his professional paintings. He was a self-taught painter who worked during the 19th centuries. I thought that focusing on Joshua Johnson, is more interesting because often when the matter of artists in American art history comes up, the focus tends to be on White Americans than on the American artists of color. Joshua Johnson’s paintings were not popular until the year 1939, when they were discovered by art historians, who believed that thirteen portraits were painted by Joshua Johnson.

Summary Of Yehezkel Kaufmann's Understanding Of Biblical Religion

247 Words | 1 Pages

According to Yehezkel Kaufmann the basic understanding of biblical religion was centered upon the relationship between God and the world, instead of previous debates about one God versus many. Kaufmann’s understanding of biblical religion was based on his belief that the biblical God was a supernatural entity, which was above and unrestrained by the physical world. Unlike pagan religions that were myth based, biblical religion and subsequently the biblical God began with the story of creation (Genisis1). This lack of myth illustrates Kaufmann’s understanding that the biblical God was free from the bounds of nature and the typical biological cycle that pagan gods existed in. The different aspects of biblical religion, such as time, prophecy

God was eventually able to do a great work through them, and some of the greatest and most encouraging messages come from these great men.
