Joshua and the Promised Land | Children’s Bible Lessons

After guiding the people of Israel for years, Moses is about to finish his life. The LORD told him, "You are not brought the Israelites to the promised land, but I will show you this land, then Moses will take care of the people I asked the Lord to choose a new leader, and the Lord said to him, "Go to Joshua and tell him that he is that. '

Moses told the state that he would die soon, and the Lord chose Joshua as the one who led them to the promised land. Moses said to Joshua, The Lord will help you. "Soon Moses went to the top of Nebo, where the Lord indicated to him the land promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, when Moses died, he was 120 years old.

The Lord said to Joshua, "Go into Canaan through the Jordan River, I will help you, as I have helped Moses, read my law daily, do not be afraid, brave Go and go do what I command you.

Joshua sent two spies to Jericho. Next story learns more about what is happening there. When they returned, they reported that this is a good time for entering Canaan. The next day, Joshua told the country to clean up the camp. Then he sent the priest to the Jordan with the ark. The river is overflowing. But when the feet of the priest touch the water, the river stops flowing and the water is lost. The priests went to the middle of the bottom of the river, stood there, and the whole country of Israel crossed the other side. Do you think that this miracle reminds them what the Lord is doing in the Red Sea?

Finally, over the years the Israelis are in the promised land. They can build houses and cities. They can cultivate fields, vineyards, orchards. This is the land of milk and honey.

Joshua (Hebrew yes faire) was the successor of Moses, who led the Israelites to the promised land. The Bible explains Joshua as a loyal student, a saint, and an outstanding military commander. Joshua led his people in every way to advise them to serve G-d and maintain Torah while leading them to the army's conquest. He was born in Egypt in 2406 (1355 BC) and led his people for 28 years until death in 2516 (1245 BC). His story is recorded in Joshua. Joshua son of Nun came from the tribe of Ephraim. His name was originally Hoshea (Hosea), but changed by Moses to Mohoshua (Joshua). He was a faithful waiter of Moses, and the Bible proved that he never left Moses' tent. He waited for Moses to communicate with G - d at the foot of Mount Sinai, and devoted himself to his husband with his heart.

The leaders of the home school called them "Joshua generation". As Joshua fulfilled Moses' mission through the massacre of the promised land, "GenJ" will lead the banner of fundamentalism and save America as a Christian nation. But now the children are tired. Going to school at home is not a fundamentalist movement. In the 1960s, a liberal writer and educator John Holt suggested a school that became a 'school other' without learning style for children, ie a curriculum. This concept was introduced by educational researcher Raymond Moore in the 1970s. He believes that educating children prematurely prior to fourth grade is harmful to development. Moore's message was sent when many conservative Christians were looking for alternatives to public schools.
