“And at that time came Joshua, and cut off the Anakims from the mountains, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, and from all the mountains of Judah, and from all the mountains of Israel: Joshua destroyed them utterly with their cities.”
Joshua 11:21 KJV
Joshua also drove out the Anakim, a race of giants, from the hill country (including the cities of Hebron, Debir, and Aman) - from the entire hill country of Judah and Israel. Joshua destroyed the Anakim and their towns. When Moses sent the twelve spies to check out the promised land, Joshua was one of the spies. Ten of them were intimidated by the giants there, the descendants of Anak. Joshua and Caleb were the two out of the twelve who were confident that they could eliminate the giants. Because of these Anakim, the children of Israel came into fear and unbelief and wandered in the wilderness for forty years. God gave Joshua and Caleb the opportunity to put their faith into action forty years later! Under Joshua’s leadership the Anakim were eliminated and enabled the tribes of Israel to possess their inheritance. Giants are nothing compared to God’s omnipotence. Our Heavenly Joshua has eliminated all giants and brought us into full faith in the power of the finished work of the Cross. Now thanks be to God, Who always causes us to triumph in Christ, and makes manifest the savour of His knowledge by us in every place. Thank You Jesus!
