Notes from the Rector's Desk

God Becomes Man, Lesson 12: God's Holy D-Day

12/20/2017

0 Comments

 

Series Overview

On Wednesday nights throughout the next nine months, we will be walking our way through the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, learning the story of salvation, especially how everything points to and is fulfilled by Jesus.

Lesson 12: God's Holy D-Day
​Lesson Overview

The Israelite conquest of Canaan represents one of the most difficult portions of Scripture for modern Christians to understand. Along with the Flood narrative and apocalyptic visions of the Final Judgment in both Testaments, it presents the starkest take on the consequences of human sin, and together with the symbols and reality of the Tabernacle system it most vividly portrays the dangers of God’s unadulterated holiness in a fallen world. How are we to read these stories? How are we to respond to charges that they present God as a genocidal maniac? This lesson will attempt to answer these difficult questions by situating these narratives in the larger story of salvation. Ultimately we will see how the conquest’s tightly controlled conditions and limited scope further God’s redemptive purpose of showing fallen man through Israel both the gravity of his condition and also the radical extent of God’s desire to do something about it so that he might dwell among us.
  
Key Text(s): Deuteronomy 20, Joshua 6
Office Texts: Psalms 9 and 11, Joshua 6, Revelation 19:11-21
