Joshua 1:9
The purpose of this paper is to tell you what I think is the meaning of this bible verse/passage. Most people miss interpret Joshua 1:9 because they think it is a literal thing. That is a legit literal thing. That even if we walk into a bar he will be there with us. Which I don’t personally believe is the case.
If we check with history, most of the book of Joshua was written by Joshua himself, after the four hundred years of the Israelites living in Egypt, and after the forty years of the Israelites living in the desert.
When looking through five specific versions of the bible, you will find that the phrase “the Lord your God” (New Living Translation, Josh. 1.9) is said in every one of the versions. When you research some more you find out that the phrase “the Lord your God” (New Living Translation, Josh 1.9) is also the opening line of the Ten Commandments. The name for God used in the opening of the Ten Commandments is YHWH Elohim, which means god.
The introduction of the Ten Commandments sets forward the identity of God. The pattern and language that it uses is like the language that was

Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go” (New Living Translation, Josh. 1.9) the promise of God always being with us is also something that can be applicable to Christians today. “In one sense, the promise in this passage was specific to Joshua’s role as leader of the Israelites as he took them into the Promised Land. Joshua had a tremendous task to fulfill after the death of Moses—the responsibility of leading an entire nation into a new land. God’s words of boldness and encouragement served as an important message to strengthen Joshua as the leader of God’s people. While the promise that God would be with Joshua was specific to Joshua, the principle extends to us today.” (GotQuestions,
Chapter three of Engaging the Christian Scriptures goes into detail over selective parts of the sections of history, writings, and prophets. Chapter three gives the reader information over several books in the Bible such as Joshua, Judges, Jeremiah, etc. The chapter dives into the text of Joshua and gives the reader useful insight over Joshua and him leading the Israel across the Jordan river to conquer the land of milk and honey, Jericho. The book of Judges purpose was to teach Israel that God is faithful and certain to punish sin therefore each person must remain loyal and devoted to the Lord. The purpose of Jeremiah was to warn of the destruction that they were about to face and to urge Judah to return and submit to God. Towards the end
Robert Moses has become a controversial figure in urban planning. He has built many important buildings, roads, and parks that make New York City the special place it is today. However, he has destroyed many old neighborhoods and created a different sense of community. Do you think he will be remembered as a positive or negative influence on the growth and development of NYC?
At first glance Joshua seems to just be a story of the Israelites and the settling of the Promised Land, however, there may also be a prophetic vision of God’s plan for Salvation of His people. The book of Joshua shows the difference between living a life, like Moses, under the Law of the Old Testament and under the freedom, which came from Jesus Christ, as Joshua did. One could certainly make a strong case that Joshua 1-6 can be looked at as a metaphor of Jesus Christ and man’s salvation through Him. The evidence ranges from Joshua’s name to the meaning of the Jordan River. The implications would mean that God was discretely showing the Israelites His plan for future salvation well over a thousand years before Christ.Joshua chapters

In the bible God gave Moses the 10 commandments and told him that his followers should obey every single commandment written on those slabs. Today in
Meaning/Interpretation: Joshua 1 describes how God uses Joshua to fulfill His promise to the Israelites. God encourages His people to be strong and courageous as they trust Him and Joshua to lead them into battle. This major theme of Joshua is repeated multiple times throughout the chapter. This repetition is used to highlight the significance of being strong and courageous during the time. Being strong and courageous in times of battle and uncertainty required the Israelites to put their trust in God. As He promised to Moses, God promised to that He would never leave Joshua. Yet, the main theme of the book of Joshua is obedience. Joshua displays obedience when he gives instruction to the people of Israel to be lead to Canaan. Joshua tells the people that they need to prepare to cross the Jordan river in there days. The significance of three days is not known, but it is speculated that it could have taken three days to cross the river. Furthermore, the people of Israel trusted God and Joshua to lead them to the promised land of Canaan.
