03/23/2022 – Day 024 – Joshua – Chapters 16 thru 20 / Division of the Land – Biblical map overlays with current maps.

I am inserting up top here as a last step, so y’all can take a quick browse. If I had left it on the bottom, no one would be left to check it out. Notice that there is current Israel Sinia Peninsula territory that was not part of the original inheritance. That’s what the Arab nations get for the coordinated surprise attack in 1967. God himself thwarted all that effort:

What a process, no? Chapter 20 – Cities of Refuge: We have simplified the process in modern day America, the person fleeing today: 1) Doesn’t have to flee per so, 2) Who said it had to be accidental?, 3) and they don’t have to stand in the entrance of the city gate to make their case before the city. So, I guess we call that progress as well.

I would like to stick with this but can’t unfortunately, I am enthralled with maps right now. It started because I wanted to look at an overlay map – current day promised land vs. the time of Joshua. No worries, I had my map #36 in the Halley’s BIble Handbook, page 165 that was very helpful. One needs to separate wants from needs in this life. So here is my choice for a book on maps , charts, and biblical timelines – ISBN reference # 978-1596360228:

It’s funny, one lady gave it only 2 stars, noting denominational bias: “They say the Mormons do not believe in the Trinity !” Well young lady, they don’t: Denial of co-equal and co-eternal. But, there may be pro-Muslim bias as noted elsewhere.

I might choose a purchase in the not to distant future with a stop in a physical book store. I have browsed through this one, walking away impressed , perhaps I buy next time:

Blessings to y’all’s day. Always connected by His grace!
