This promise to Joshua emphasizes God's assurance of victory and protection. It reflects the divine support that was also promised to the patriarchs and leaders of Israel. The phrase suggests a continuous divine presence and power that will ensure Joshua's success in leading the Israelites into the Promised Land. This echoes the covenantal promises made to Abraham (Genesis 12:1-3) and the assurance given to Moses (Exodus 3:12). The phrase also foreshadows the New Testament promise of victory over spiritual adversaries (Romans 8:31). As I was with Moses, so will I be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you. Persons / Places / Events 1. Joshua- The central figure in this passage, Joshua is the successor of Moses and the leader of the Israelites as they enter the Promised Land. His leadership is crucial for the fulfillment of God's promises to Israel. 2. Moses - The former leader of the Israelites, Moses led the people out of Egypt and through the wilderness. His relationship with God sets a precedent for Joshua's leadership. 3. The Promised Land - The land of Canaan, which God promised to the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Joshua's mission is to lead the Israelites into this land. 4. The Israelites - The chosen people of God, who are about to enter the land promised to their ancestors. Their journey and conquest are central to the account of Joshua. 5. God's Promise - The assurance given to Joshua that no one will be able to stand against him, reflecting God's faithfulness and presence with His people. Teaching Points God's Unchanging PresenceJust as God was with Moses, He promises to be with Joshua. This assurance of God's presence is a timeless truth for believers, reminding us that God is with us in every circumstance. Courage in Leadership Joshua's leadership is undergirded by God's promise. Believers are encouraged to lead with confidence, knowing that God equips and supports those He calls. Faithfulness of God The promise that God will never leave nor forsake Joshua is a testament to His faithfulness. This encourages believers to trust in God's promises, even when facing challenges. Overcoming Opposition The assurance that no man shall stand against Joshua highlights the power of God in overcoming obstacles. Believers can find strength in God's ability to help them overcome adversities. Continuity of God's Plan The transition from Moses to Joshua shows the continuity of God's plan. Believers are part of a larger account, and God's purposes continue through different generations.(5) I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.--Compare Genesis 28:15. And consider Hebrews 13:5 as a combination of the two Old Testament passages. (6,7) Be strong and of a good courage . . . that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law.--This command to "be strong," repeated again and again to Joshua, may perhaps be taken as reflecting light upon his natural character, which might not have led him to desire so prominent a position. But it may also be observed that courage was especially needed to carry out the conquest of Canaan in the way that was ordered by the law. For a discussion of this question and its difficulties, see Joshua 13 Verse 5. - There shall not any man be able to stand before thee. Literally, no one shall set himself up against thee, i.e., successfully resist thee (ἀντιστήσεται, LXX.). As I was with Moses. Literally, as I have been with Moses: that is to say, was with him and remained with him unto the end. The continuity of the work of God under the old dispensation is thus as clearly marked as that of the new in Matthew 28:20, and John 20:21-23. The promises made to Abraham, the law given to Moses, the gift of a new life in Christ, are so many parts of one great work, and that work the regeneration of mankind. I will not fail thee. Literally, I will not be weak towards thee, relax towards thee. God is ever the same, If His attitude to us be altered, it is not He who has changed, but ourselves.Parallel Commentaries ...
