“And it came to pass a long time after that the LORD had given rest unto Israel from all their enemies round about, that Joshua waxed old and stricken in age.”
Joshua 23:1 KJV
Many years had passed since Yahweh had given Israel rest from all their enemies, and Joshua was very old. This was about twenty five years later. Joshua was one hundred and ten when he made his final speech to the nation. As Jacob had blessed his sons and Moses the people, so Joshua gave a final speech before he died. Through the finished work of the Cross, Jesus has destroyed our enemy and all his works, bringing us into the faith-rest life. Now He requires us to go into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature, winning every soul into the Kingdom of God. This is the mandate for all who are in Christ. Amen!
