After defeating the southern parts of the Promised Land, Joshua now turns his attention to the northern region.
The central figure in northern Canaan was a powerful ruler called “Yavin King of Hazor”.
This king immediately issued a call to arms to all of his neighboring kingdoms to come together to ward off the invading Israelite army.
As I mentioned yesterday, this follows the same pattern of how Joshua defeated the kings in the south.
Recall how it was always the Canaanites who were initiating the attacks against Israel as opposed to Israel leading the charge.
This leads me to another important point I made yesterday.
A lot of folks like to speculate about prophecies in the Bible but if you really wanna know what’s gonna happen in the future, just look at the patterns already plainly revealed to us in Scripture.
The pattern established is that those enemies nations who have declared themselves enemies of Israel will leave the protection of their homelands to attack Israel.
In the case of Armageddon (which may happen in our lifetimes), the world’s armies will move into the Valley of Jezreel to launch an attack against the Israeli forces who will be led by none other than Yeshua, the Messiah himself.
And again, we don’t have to speculate about what’s going to happen to those gentile nations who attack Israel.
Because we’ve already been told what’s gonna happen in both Joshua chapter 10 and 11.
Just as both the southern and northern alliance of kings who attacked Israel were destroyed, so it will be for the goyim who attack Israel in the future war called Armageddon to come.
And yet another thing we shouldn’t overlook is the real reason why all of the Canaanite kings will be so foolhardy as to leave their impenetrable towns surrounded by thick stone walls and come out into the open to attack Israel.
The real reason is because Hashem Himself is controlling the hearts of the enemy and has supernaturally drawn them out of hiding to attack Israel.
This is exactly what He did to pharaoh.
Recall that Pharaoh was also DRAWN OUT of Egypt with his army and the whole lot ended up being drowned in the Red Sea.
In the future, this is also what God is going to do the leaders of the world’s nations.
In fact, it has already begun.
He is going to fill the world leaders with such an irrational hate and rage that will it cause them to commit to a suicide war mission in order to destroy Israel.
