“until the LORD have given your brethren rest, as he hath given you, and they also have possessed the land which the LORD your God giveth them: then ye shall return unto the land of your possession, and enjoy it, which Moses the LORD's servant gave you on this side Jordan toward the sunrising.”
Joshua 1:15 KJV
Joshua received God’s commission and rallied the people to forge unity to take possession of the promised land. Joshua told the children of Israel that they will help their brothers until they take possession of the land that Yahweh their God was giving them as their homeland. Afterward, they would be free to return to their own land and possess the land that Moses, Yahweh’s servant, gave them on the east side of the Jordan. The focus was the unity of God’s people. We too must be willing to fight for our brother’s victory as much as we fight for our own. Later, when people did what was right in their own eyes, rather than for the benefit of the whole community, this became a problem for the children of Israel. Joshua the prophet foresaw the complete victory of possessing the land of their enemies. It was not one individual, nor one tribe, but all Yahweh’s children uniting together to get their complete inheritance. Let’s not rest as the Body of Christ, to unite as one and receive our inheritance in the Kingdom of God and of His Christ! Hallelujah!
