Joshua 12

Theme of chapter: An exhaustive list of the kings that Israel destroyed in taking of the land of Canaan.

Most important verse: Joshua 12:1 Now these are the kings of the land, which the children of Israel smote, and possessed their land on the other side Jordan toward the rising of the sun, from the river Arnon unto mount Hermon, and all the plain on the east:

Most prominent word: king(royal ruler)

Teaching about Christ: Christ is the king of all kings, and Lord of Lords

Command to obey: God doesn't make promises lightly, and neither should you

Promise to claim: God gives the victory, but we still have to get off our butt to possess it.

New truth learned: God cares about every detail of our lives, shown here as an entire chapter is given to listing the details of God's works thru Israel.
