Do New Testament Christians take their cues from Jeremiah chapter 29, or the book of Joshua? Are we waiting to be taken out of the land, or are we working to take the land?

Israel's former leader, Moses (who was a type of Christ), was dead. Rather than continuing to mourn his death, Israel is commanded to prepare for what is coming next. In three days time, Joshua (who is another type of Christ), would lead Israel (a type of the Church) across the Jordan River (which represented passing through death) and onto “resurrection.” This was not resurrection for the opportunity to rest. That was promised to come later. Instead, this “resurrection” was meant to provide the glorious opportunity for war. The Church in heaven is “triumphant” and at rest. The Church on earth is “militant” and at war.

All the recent divisions over “race” in America have been about this one thing…

You cannot cast out darkness with “less darkness.” You can only cast out darkness with light.

Just a brief list of pitiful people.

In this episode of Theology Applied, Pastor Joel Webbon has a conversation with his friend, Jared Longshore, about Baptists and Presbyterians, Covenant Theology and Christendom, and the implications for Political Theology. *Disclaimer: This one is all over the place. Joel and Jared were simply arguing as friends… then Joel decided to just go ahead and hit record.

The resurrection is confirmation that Jesus’ death satisfied the wrath of God for sins.

Jesus’ death is not merely an example of sacrificial love, and his resurrection is not merely a metaphor of the triumph of the human spirit.

There was no inner battle of conscience for Joshua to go and take the land out of the hands of its present inhabitants, since the Lord directly commanded him to do so. All the earth belongs to the Lord, and he alone has the right to dispose of it to whom he wills. God did so, in Joshua's case, through direct prophesy given to Israel, as well as accompanying them with supernatural power which granted them success. God continues to exalt nations today, as well as decimate them, in accordance with his “moral/revealed will” (Scripture), by the designs of Just War Theory (principles include: just cause, competent authority/legitimate government, right intention, humane methods, last resort/after diplomacy endeavors, and probability of success), as well as accompanying them with divine providence, in accordance with his “sovereign/hidden will” which grants them success.
