When will men learn that God is God, not man, and that He does not change? EVERY calamity, EVERY death, is a witness to the POWER OF EVIL and to the truth of the living God. The Word of God is life, and it will abide forever. Through all eternity it will stand fast. How can man, knowing what God is and what He has done, choose Satan's way instead of God's way? There is only one path to Paradise restored,—the path of obedience. -
Signs of the Times, January 25, 1910, par. 18

Destruction of Ai

 

The city of Ai had humiliated the forces of Joshua after their great victory over Jericho. Plans had been laid without divine guidance and Israel suffered the loss of 36 men as a result. There had been a breach in the defences of Israel, through the rebellion of Achan, which was dealt with swiftly.

Then Joshua returned to Ai to deal with it. How do we read this story in the light of the loving character of Jesus? Does the mystery of the cross explain all mysteries including the story of Ai?

In this presentation we take a look at some aspects of Hebrew grammar that give clues to this story to a different view of God’s involvement.

Why is it important to revisit this story? Because Israel not only killed the men of the city, they killed everyone; all the women and children. Is this the God of Jesus Christ? Slaying women and young children; completely destroying the entire town? Does this meet the specification of driving out the inhabitants with hornets?

Several points are considered in this presentation to shed light on these questions.
