After the victories listed in Chapter 12 — thirty-one defeated kings — it feels like the conquest is complete. The land subdued. The story finished. But then comes a surprising verse: “Joshua was old, advanced in years… and much of the land still remains to be possessed.” (Joshua 13:1) Wait — still remains? In this episode, we explore one of the most important and often overlooked chapters in the conquest narrative. Because Joshua 13 introduces a powerful and timeless idea: Redemption is not instant. It unfolds in stages. In this teaching, we unpack: ✔️ Why the conquest wasn’t actually finished ✔️ Why Hashem commands Joshua to divide the land before it’s fully conquered ✔️ The spiritual danger of leaving parts unconquered ✔️ The deeper meaning of the Tribe of Levi receiving no territory ✔️ Why inheritance sometimes comes before completion ✔️ How Joshua 13 feels strikingly relevant to modern Israel This chapter isn’t about battle strategy. It’s about living inside an unfinished promise. It teaches us: You can win victories… and still have work ahead. You can inherit the promise… and still need to build it. You can stand inside redemption… and still be in process. Joshua 13 whispers across thousands of years: “Start living like it’s yours — and keep going.” Chazak Ve’amatz. 🔔If you’re growing with us through the Book of Joshua, subscribe and join Prophets of Israel Daily for daily episodes exploring the eternal message of the Prophets. @thelandofisrael
