圣经问答:应许都应验了
约书亚记第四课:应许都应验了:约书亚记第十三章至二十二章
因为上帝的祝福,以色列人在约书亚的带领下,就征服了迦南地。在过去,神把那么多应许给以色列人和他们的祖先,应许落了空没?
一。约书亚记13章:未占领之地和分配之地:1节:怎么知道以色列人占领迦南地已经用到很长的时间,并且还需要很长的时间才能完成此事?“约书亚年纪___迈,耶和华对他说:”你年纪___迈了,还有许多___ ___之地”。
二。约书亚记14章:迦勒得希伯仑为业:6-15节:迦勒提醒约书亚何事?10节:从民数记13章及14章所记载的,他心里包含着这应许已有几年?迦勒怎么样形容自己的体力?迦勒得到并征服哪座城?
三。约书亚记15至21章:分配土地:请参看《圣经》地图,指出约书亚记第十五章至第二十一章所提到的城市。请参看《圣经》地图,指出所有的支派所得到的地为业。约书亚记15:63:耶路撒冷本来属于哪族人?(请参看士师记一章8节及21节,并撒母耳记下五章6-7节。)
约书亚记20章:参看《圣经》地图,指出“逃城”。“逃城”是什么?
约书亚记20:1-9:请述说有关“逃城”的一些规定。
约书亚记21章:41节:利未人得到了几个城市?请列出几个利未人的城市。43-45节:此节是约书亚记的重要结论之一:虽然有一些领域还没有完全被征服了,但是,神老早给于祖先亚伯拉罕的应许已经被实现了;所有的应许都应验了。迦南地的原住民毫无力量把以色列人赶走!神的选民已获得了他的“家乡”。请背诵约书亚记21:43-45:“这样,耶和华将从前向他们___ ___起誓所应许的全地,赐给以色列人,他们就得了___ ___,住在___ ___。 耶和华照着向他们列祖___ ___所应许的一切话,使他们四境___ ___,他们一切___ ___中,没有一人在他们面前站立___ ___,耶和华把一切___ ___都交在他们手中。 耶和华应许赐福给以色列家的话,___ ___也没有___ ___,都___ ___了”。在其他的《圣经》记载中,神所说的应许,有哪些落了空? 今天,神在《新约》里所给基督徒的应许,有哪些会落空?约书亚记21:43-45给您什么启发?
四。约书亚记22章:错误的假设:1至9节:约书亚称赞哪些支派,告诉他们要回到约旦河的东边?他们为什么要回去?(请参看民数记32章。)10节:他们一回去,就制造了什么?11至20节:住在约旦河西边的以色列人聆听此消息之后,反应如何?约旦河西边的以色列人还没有给约旦河东边的以色列兄弟们机会解释、说明、辩护等,他们已准备做什么?约旦河以西的向约旦河以东的讲道理时,提了历史上的哪些事例,说明他们所关切的,并加强他们的说法和推理?21至29节:约旦河以西所说的只有一个问题,是什么?他们的结论都是错的!吕便人、迦得人、玛拿西半支派的人怎么样为自己辩护?30至34节:祭司非尼哈、会众的首领及其他的以色列人相信不相信,接受不接受兄弟们的解释和说明?吕便人、迦得人给坛起名叫___ ___。意思说:“这坛在我们___ ___证明耶和华是___”。当您我看见张三做一件什么事,我们给他强烈的反应以前,应该先做什么?我们把张三所作的传告诉别人之前,应该先做什么?您我有没有对某人谋事匆匆作出结论,之后发现我们的看法或结论是错的?我们怎么样可以避免犯此错?

Joshua/04: All Promises Fulfilled
Joshua chapters 13-22
1. Joshua 13: Land Still to be Occupied and Land to be Divided: Vs. 1: How do we know that it has taken many years for the Israelites to occupy Canaan and that it will still take a long time before the job will be completed? “When Joshua was o___ and well advanced in years, the LORD said to him, ‘You are very o___, and there are s___ very large areas of land to be taken over.’”
2. Joshua 14: Caleb Receives Hebron as Inheritance: Vs. 6-15: Of what did Caleb remind Joshua? Vs. 10: How many years have passed since the events recorded in Numbers 13 and 14? How did Caleb describe his own strength? What city did Caleb conquer?
3. Joshua 15-21: Division of the Land: Locate on a Bible map all the cities mentioned in Joshua chs. 15 through 21. Locate on a Bible map all the land given to the [Israelite] tribes as inheritance. Joshua 15:63: To what ethnic group did Jerusalem belong originally? (See Judges 1:8, 21 and 2 Samuel 5:6-7.) Joshua 20: Locate the “cities of refuge” on a Bible map. What is a “city of refuge”? Joshua 20:1-9: What were the regulations for cities of refuge? Joshua 21: Vs. 41: How many cities were the Levites given? List some of the cities given to the Levites. Vs. 43-45: These verses constitute one of the important conclusions in the book of Joshua: Although some areas of land have not yet been taken completely, nonetheless, the promise God gave Abraham many years ago has been fulfilled; all promises have been fulfilled. The original inhabitants of Canaan have not the power to force the Israelites to leave! God’s chosen people have received their “homeland.” Please memorize Joshua 21:43-45: “43 So the LORD gave Israel all the land he had sworn to give their f___, and they took p___ of it and settled t___. 44 The LORD gave them r____ on every side, just as he had s___ to their forefathers. Not one of their ___ w___ them; the LORD handed all their e___ over to them. 45 Not o___ of all the LORD’S good promises to the house of Israel f___; every one was f____.” Where in all the rest of the Bible can one find examples of God failing to fulfill his promises? Of the promises that God gives Christians today, [as taught] in the New Testament, which ones will fail? How does Joshua 21:43-45 inspire you? [I.e., what do you learn from it?]
4. Joshua 22: A Mistaken Presumption: Vs. 1-9: What tribes did Joshua commend and tell to return to the eastern side of the Jordan River? Why did they want to return? (See Numbers ch. 32.) Vs. 10: What did they build upon returning? Vs. 11-20: How the Israelites on the west side of the Jordan react when they heard what those on the east side had done? Before they even gave their brother Israelites on the east side of the Jordan a chance to explain and defend their actions, what did those on the west side prepare to do? When those on the Jordan’s west lectured those on the east, what examples from history did they cite to explain their concern and to strengthen the logic of their case? Vs. 21-29: There was only one problem with what those east of the Jordan said; what was it? Their conclusion was (wrong) ! How did the Reubenites, the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh defend themselves? Vs. 30-34: Did Phinehas the priest, leaders of the community and the other Israelites believe and accept the explanation given by their brothers? What name did the Reubenites and Gadites give the altar? This name meant [this altar is] “A Witness B___ Us that the LORD is God.” Have you and I ever jumped to conclusions about a person or event, only to find out later that our viewpoint or our conclusion was wrong? How can we avoid making such mistakes?
