May 24th -- Joshua 10

Treading Down The Wicked

Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said to the captains of the warriors who went with him, "Come near; put your feet upon the necks of these kings." And they did so. Then Joshua said to them, "Fear not, nor be dismayed, be strong and of good courage; for thus shall Yahweh do to all your enemies against whom ye fight." He then slew them, and hanged the five kings on as many trees, until evening.

The history of Israel is not only as strictly literal as any other histories, and truer too than those of the nations contemporary with their prophetic times, but it is also allegorical, which theirs' are not. Joshua and his captains were like Joshua, the High Priest and his companions, "men of sign"; and represented Messiah and his Captains in their future wars with "the Kings of the earth, and of the whole Habitable (Rev. 16) whom they are to tread down as ashes under the soles of their feet."

John Thomas, Phanerosis, pages 136-137
