Bible
The next mention of Joshua in Scripture comes in Exodus 24, in the midst of the account which describes Moses’ ascent of Mount Sinai to receive the Law. That chapter tells us that Moses, Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and seventy elders of Israel (of whom Joshua was one) were called up the mountain. After climbing some distance and seeing a far-off vision of God’s glory, the seventy remained behind, and Joshua and Moses went further up (v. 13). Here Joshua was with Moses six days when the glorious cloud covered Sinai (v. 16). But on the seventh day Moses went on alone, leaving Joshua alone on Sinai for forty days (v. 18).
The Sinai experience left its mark on Joshua. His initial vision of God majestically standing over a pavement of sapphire (v. 10), and his subsequent forty days of solitary meditation — while Moses, up in the glowing, thundering cloud on Sinai, received the Law — branded his heart with a deep sense of God’s glory, holiness, and power. The Christian leader’s vision of God makes all the difference in his life. There is a grand visionary chain which links the great leaders in God’s Word. Consider Moses amidst the thunderings and lightnings of Sinai as God hides him in the cleft of a rock and makes His glory pass by him (Exodus 33:21-23).
Joshua not only sat below Moses on Sinai viewing God’s glory, but later, on the eve of the battle for Jericho, he met God — “the captain of the Lord’s host” — as a warrior in full battle dress, his sword bare and gleaming in the moonlight — and Joshua worshiped (Joshua 5:13-15, NASB). Young David’s vision of God grew so great as he shepherded under the stars and contemplated God’s vastness that when he saw Goliath challenging leaderless Israel he cried, “Who is this uncircumcised Philistine that he should defy the armies of the living God?” (1 Samuel 17:26) and charged headlong into battle.
I for one, in my vision of evangelism, in the year 2014, while in Mombasa, I was lifted in the spirit or bodily form, and I saw the world while lifted high, such as seen on a satellite, and the world had some places where there was light and other still covered in darkness. And also the vision of God seated upon the throne, majestically reigning and using his power to enable me. It was so clear that I was meant to Evangelise to the corners of the earth.
TO GOD WHO ENABLES, BE THE GLORY, NOW AND FOREVER: AMEN.
