The book of Joshua was probably written around 1400 B.C. The beginning of the book describes God telling Joshua of his “servant” Moses ‘death and entrusting instructing Joshua with leading Gods people and delivering the promised land (1:1-9).

It was some time after his father’s death that God called upon Abraham to move to Canaan. It was after Abrahams return to Palestine that God spoke to Abraham and promised that is offspring would be plentiful and, that they would one day inherit the land from “the brook of Egypt to Euphrates river” Gen (15:18). At the age of one hundred Abraham fathered a son Isaac with his wife Sarah. The most well-known story about Abraham was when God demanded that Abraham sacrifice his son Isaac for him but, before he could complete the sacrifice God spoke to Abraham and spared Isaac as a reward for Abrahams faith and devotion to Gods word Gen (22:12).

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.

Through both the Old and New Testaments, the strongest characters with the most compelling narratives feature, such as Moses, an archetypal redemption storyline throughout their development. These redemption arcs throughout the bible demonstrate how, in order to become a good person, one does not need to be without flaw or sin. Instead, being a good person is being able to overcome and repent from one’s actions and adopt a moral lifestyle. In Exodus, Moses “[kills] and Egyptian and [hides] him in the sand”, and upon discovering that his actions were not secret, “Moses fled from [Egypt] and went to live in Midian” (Exodus 2:12, 15). Despite being an outcast from his homeland as well as a criminal, God chooses Moses to lead the Israelites out of Egypt.

In my opinion I believe that Joshua Phillips’ life was dictated and shaped by his childhood upbringing. I believe this because violent homes greatly affect children’s mental health and the way they grow up. Children only reflect what adults decide to show them, so living in a house with a violent parent and experiencing domestic abuse is bound to result in some kind of changed behavior. Joshua Earl Patrick Phillips was born on March 17, 1984 in Allentown, Pennsylvania to Steve and Melissa Phillips.

As well as explains much of those in old testament that strayed from faith. Because, if Moses in this life changing moment, aware of Gods presence, can make excuses for not wanting to do Gods will, this could perhaps explain in part, why the apostate kings would choose comfort and reliance on their pagan gods, in direct rebellion to what they knew was Gods will. While the book relates stories of other men who like Moses had a mission placed upon their shoulders, like some of the prophets. Moses didn't have the faith at first to realize if God placed him in such a position, he would also supply all the needs of that mission.
