聖經問答：應許都應驗了
約書亞記第四課：應許都應驗了：約書亞記第十三章至二十二章
因為上帝的祝福，以色列人在約書亞的帶領下，就征服了迦南地。在過去，神把那麼多應許給以色列人和他們的祖先，應許落了空沒？
一。約書亞記13章：未佔領之地和分配之地：1節：怎麼知道以色列人佔領迦南地已經用到很長的時間，並且還需要很長的時間才能完成此事？“約書亞年紀___邁，耶和華對他說：”你年紀___邁了，還有許多___ ___之地”。
二。約書亞記14章：迦勒得希伯侖為業：6-15節：迦勒提醒約書亞何事？10節：從民數記13章及14章所記載的，他心裡包含着這應許已有幾年？迦勒怎麼樣形容自己的體力？迦勒得到並征服哪座城？
三。約書亞記15至21章：分配土地：請參看《聖經》地圖，指出約書亞記第十五章至第二十一章所提到的城市。請參看《聖經》地圖，指出所有的支派所得到的地為業。約書亞記15:63：耶路撒冷本來屬於哪族人？（請參看士師記一章8節及21節，並撒母耳記下五章6-7節。）
約書亞記20章：參看《聖經》地圖，指出“逃城”。“逃城”是什麼？
約書亞記20:1-9：請述說有關“逃城”的一些規定。
約書亞記21章：41節：利未人得到了幾個城市？請列出幾個利未人的城市。43-45節：此節是約書亞記的重要結論之一：雖然有一些領域還沒有完全被征服了，但是，神老早給於祖先亞伯拉罕的應許已經被實現了；所有的應許都應驗了。迦南地的原住民毫無力量把以色列人趕走！神的選民已獲得了他的“家鄉”。請背誦約書亞記21:43-45：“這樣，耶和華將從前向他們___ ___起誓所應許的全地，賜給以色列人，他們就得了___ ___，住在___ ___。 耶和華照着向他們列祖___ ___所應許的一切話，使他們四境___ ___，他們一切___ ___中，沒有一人在他們面前站立___ ___，耶和華把一切___ ___都交在他們手中。 耶和華應許賜福給以色列家的話，___ ___也沒有___ ___，都___ ___了”。在其他的《聖經》記載中，神所說的應許，有哪些落了空？ 今天，神在《新約》里所給基督徒的應許，有哪些會落空？約書亞記21:43-45給您什麼啟發？
四。約書亞記22章：錯誤的假設：1至9節：約書亞稱讚哪些支派，告訴他們要回到約旦河的東邊？他們為什麼要回去？（請參看民數記32章。）10節：他們一回去，就製造了什麼？11至20節：住在約旦河西邊的以色列人聆聽此消息之後，反應如何？約旦河西邊的以色列人還沒有給約旦河東邊的以色列兄弟們機會解釋、說明、辯護等，他們已準備做什麼？約旦河以西的向約旦河以東的講道理時，提了歷史上的哪些事例，說明他們所關切的，並加強他們的說法和推理？21至29節：約旦河以西所說的只有一個問題，是什麼？他們的結論都是錯的！呂便人、迦得人、瑪拿西半支派的人怎麼樣為自己辯護？30至34節：祭司非尼哈、會眾的首領及其他的以色列人相信不相信，接受不接受兄弟們的解釋和說明？呂便人、迦得人給壇起名叫___ ___。意思說：“這壇在我們___ ___證明耶和華是___”。當您我看見張三做一件什麼事，我們給他強烈的反應以前，應該先做什麼？我們把張三所作的傳告訴別人之前，應該先做什麼？您我有沒有對某人謀事匆匆作出結論，之後發現我們的看法或結論是錯的？我們怎麼樣可以避免犯此錯？

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?
