Here are three key events found in the Book of Joshua:
1. The Crossing of the Jordan River (Joshua 3–4)
-
A miraculous event where God stops the waters of the Jordan so the Israelites can cross on dry ground into the Promised Land.
-
It marks the official entry into Canaan and confirms Joshua’s leadership.
2. The Fall of Jericho (Joshua 6)
-
One of the most famous Bible stories: the walls of Jericho fall after the Israelites march around the city for seven days and blow trumpets.
-
This victory shows God’s power and faithfulness when His people obey Him.
3. Covenant Renewal at Shechem (Joshua 24)
-
At the end of his life, Joshua gathers all the tribes of Israel to renew their covenant with God.
-
He challenges them to serve the Lord faithfully, saying:
“As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”
These events highlight God’s leadership, power, and faithfulness, as well as Israel’s responsibility to remain obedient.
