If we are to really understand why the
Living God allowed the events of the book of Joshua to happen and
why the Holy Spirit recorded these extraordinary events for us, we
need to approach the book in the full context of the whole Bible,
understanding this special book in the way it was originally
intended. The name 'Joshua' is the Hebrew form of the name
'Jesus', meaning 'The LORD is salvation'.
If this book had simply been called 'Jesus' then the meaning of the
book would have been much more obvious to all the readers down the
generations. It is a book about a man called Jesus defeating
the enemies of the LORD God and bringing the Church into her
Promised Land. It is an ancient prophecy about the work of
Jesus of Nazareth, born some 1400 years after Jesus son of Nun
lived.
Sami Dagher is pastor of the Karantina Church
in Beirut, Lebanon, president of the National Evangelical Christian
and Missionary Alliance Church in Lebanon, and founder of the
Christian Alliance Institute of Theology in Beirut.
One of 12 children, Sami was raised near the Biblical town of
Sidon. Sami accepted Jesus as his personal Saviour through the work
of an American missionary couple. In 1971, he was invited to a
conference in Amsterdam where Billy Graham preached, presenting the
needs of Europe and the Middle East. At that time God called Sami
into ministry.
Throughout decades of conflict in the Middle East, Sami has been
a bold witness for the gospel, planting churches during Lebanon's
civil war, leading relief trips into Baghdad during the Iraq war,
and establishing Bible schools and an orphanage.
