Joshua, Chapter 1, ABC: Study Notes: 1. After the death of Moses, Yahweh spoke to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' minister, saying, “My servant Moses is dead. Now rise up, cross over the [River That Descends to a Lower Region H3383-81, Jordan], and lead this entire nation to the land which I am giving to the Israelites. Every place where the sole of your foot treads, I will give it to you, as I told Moses. From the wilderness, and this Lebanon, even to the great river Euphrates, all the land of the [Descendants of Terror H2850 fm H2845, Heth, Hittites], and to the Great Sea toward the west, shall be your border. 2. “No man will be able to stand in your way all the days of your life; as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not fail you or forsake you. Be strong and brave, for you shall cause this people to seize the land, which I swore to their fathers to give to them. Only be strong and very brave, so that you may take heed to do according to all the Laws which Moses My servant commanded you. Do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may act wisely wherever you go. This book of the Law shall not depart out of your mouth, and you must meditate on it day and night, so you will be on guard to do according to all the written laws. Then you will prosper in your way and act with wisdom: As I Have commanded you, be strong and brave. Do not fear or discouraged, for I, Yahweh your God, am with you in all places where you go.” 3. Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying, “Pass through the camp and command the people to prepare food for a journey; for within three days you are crossing the [River That Descends to a Lower Region H3383-81, Jordan], to go in and [seize H3423, the land] which Yahweh your God is giving to you to occupy.” 4. Joshua spoke to the Reubenites, Gadites, and the half clan of Joseph/Manasseh too, saying, “Remember the words which Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded you, ‘Yahweh your God has given you rest, and He has given to you this land. All your wives, children, and livestock must remain in the land that Moses gave to you east of the Jordan. However, you men shall cross over armed before your brothers, all the mighty warriors, and help them until Yahweh has given rest to your brothers the same as you; and they too have seized the land which Yahweh your God is giving to them. Then you may return to the land of your possession and occupy that which Moses the servant of Yahweh has already allotted to you east of the Jordan.’”
5. They answered Joshua, saying, “We will do all that you command us, and go where you send us. According to all we heard from Moses, so we will listen to and obey you. Surely, Yahweh our God is with you, as he has been with Moses. Whoever rebels against your words, and will not listen to your commands in all that you say to them, they will die. Only, be strong and brave.”
Joshua Name Study: *Joshua, H3091 SBD יהושׁע יהושׁוּע – yehôshûa‛, yehôshûa‛ - yeh-ho-shoo'-ah, yeh-ho-shoo'-ah - From ^H3068 and ^^H3467; Yahweh-saved; Jehoshua (that is, Joshua), the Jewish leader: - Jehoshua, Jehoshuah, Joshua. Compare ^^^ H1954, ^^^^H3442.
Analogy: The name Joshua means, “Yahweh Saved” according to SBD. A careful study of the root words reveals that Yahweh was a “God” who had a beginning, and was spiritually living eternally in this Divine Spiritual Age, within the Material Earthly Universe: originally created by the IMMORTAL GOD as a dark energy, waste pit, for imperfect posolute/nesolute conflicting spirit energy. I now understand: There are no immortals, except the “ONE IMMORTAL GOD”; One Immortal Trinity of the Father, Mother and Child; within the One Immortal Holy Spirit. Other Gods, Angels, and mankind spirits can live eternally, only if given the Free Gift of Eternal Life, from the ONE IMMORTAL GOD. This gift is a robe of invulnerability to sin; granted and guaranteed to last forever, while we are in GODS’ Perfect Balance of Immortal and Unconditional Love.
During GODS’ Rests, between the Divine Spiritual Ages, every spirit that GOD creates has a transitional end and New Beginning. However, this is not like physical death, or birth: it is only a transition over an unconscious sleep period, in which GODS’ eternal created spirits REST, while the ONE IMMORTAL GOD continues to plan the next iteration of the IMMORTAL DIVINE AGE.
All GODS’ created Eternal Spirits are carried over this transitional period, by sleeping the Sleep of Angels, within GODS’ Memories. When rest is complete and spirits are regenerated, they awaken into eternal life, not as a newborn spirit, but as a full grown spirit perfected and sustained by GOD; at the beginning of every newly reiterated Divine Age the IMMORTAL GOD creates.
Lucifer, and ALL the spirits he deceived into following him, already had this gift; but they rejected it, and threw it away by rebelling against JESUS, the ONE TRUE GOD, and trying to do as they pleased. Although they had already been granted eternal life, GOD cut them off from GODS’ Immortal Perfect Kingdom of Peace and Love. GOD cast them outside into the left over, imperfect, dark energy of the earth; containing all the imperfect evils rejected from GODS’ Immortal Perfect Kingdom of Peace and Love; including all conflicts between Good and Evil…
