This chapter describes the victories God gave them, 33 kings and their possessions, have been taken. Every enemy was overcome.
V.1-6 Describe the two on the East (desert) side of the Jordan River.
V.7-24 The rest of the chapter tells of the 31 kings in the land of Canaan (present day Israel), the main part of “the land.”
V.8 Six places, like six experiences in the Christian’s life — the seventh is to come — with CHRIST in HEAVEN. But in the meantime, we too have to fight against Satan’s subtle opposition (Eph. 6:12; 212For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. (Ephesians 6:12)
12That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: (Ephesians 2:12) Tim. 3:1-5). God, today, is allowing Satan’s deceptions to increase.
May we be overcomers, not only against moral evil, but, what is worse, evil and wrong teachings concerning the Scriptures.
