CHAPTER 11

^[p. 344] CHAPTER 11

There is another element in the history of Joshua. Hazor, the capital of all those kingdoms, cannot when taken be God’s capital. He will not have the chief seat of this world’s power for the metropolis of His kingdom. It is the only city of the many that conspired at this epoch which was burnt (verse 13). How different the spirit of Popery! It was glad to get the world’s capital for its own. But it is the city of confusion; Rome is Babylon thus viewed. The church of God is heavenly, and we Christians must have heavenly things. How people delude themselves!
