Joshua 11:10-15 Not Sparing Anyone

 10At that time Joshua turned back and captured Hazor and put its king to the sword, because Hazor was formerly the head of all these kingdoms. 11The Israelites put everyone in Hazor to the sword, devoting them to destruction. Nothing that breathed remained, and Joshua burned down Hazor itself.

12Joshua captured all these kings and their cities and put them to the sword. He devoted them to destruction, as Moses the LORD’s servant had commanded. 13Yet Israel did not burn any of the cities built on their mounds, except Hazor, which Joshua burned.

14The Israelites took for themselves all the plunder and livestock of these cities, but they put all the people to the sword until they had completely destroyed them, not sparing anyone who breathed. 15As the LORD had commanded His servant Moses, so Moses commanded Joshua. That is what Joshua did, leaving nothing undone of all that the LORD had commanded Moses.


“The staggering completeness of the destruction (especially in human terms) shows us the completeness of God’s judgment, Israel’s obedience, and the depravity of the Canaanites.” (Guzik)


Not Sparing Anyone 

When the time comes and God says enough the world will end as we know it. Not sparing anyone except those that are His, the staggering completeness of the destruction will be unimaginable! But the Bible clearly spells it out.


Revelation 6:8 Then I looked and saw a pale green horse. Its rider’s name was Death, and Hades followed close behind. And they were given authority over a fourth of the earth, to kill by sword, by famine, by plague, and by the beasts of the earth.


Revelation 6: 15Then the kings of the earth, the nobles, the commanders, the rich, the mighty, and every slave and free man hid in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains. 16And they said to the mountains and the rocks, “Fall on us and hide usb from the face of the One seated on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb. 17For the great day of Their wrath has come, and who is able to withstand it?”


Revelation 9: 18A third of mankind was killed by the three plagues of fire, smoke, and sulfur that proceeded from their mouths.


Revelation 14: 19So the angel swung his sickle over the earth and gathered the grapes of the earth, and he threw them into the great winepress of God’s wrath. 20And the winepress was trodden outside the city, and the blood that flowed from it rose as high as the bridles of the horses for a distance of 1,600 stadia.


As you can read, this is an abbreviated version of the wrath of God on the ungodly. 

Not sparing anyone!

Will you be marked as His?

Blessings
