Joshua 11:23 So Joshua took the whole land, according to all that the Lord said unto Moses, and Joshua gave it for an inheritance unto Israel according to their divisions by their tribes. And the land rested from war.
This verse summarizes what Joshua had done until now and what he will do now. He finished the Campaign of Conquest, took the whole land, and will now give it for an inheritance to the twelve tribes. Although the pagan gods were not completely rooted out, Israel had enough control to settle down and dwell in the land.
When Jesus died on the cross He proclaimed, “It is finished!” Jesus had just taken the kingdom, all of it, and given it to us after His resurrection. No pockets of resistance were left over. Our Enemies were utterly destroyed: Sin is forgiven, Death is swallowed up in victory, and Satan is cast down. Jesus took the land. He drove out sin and granted righteousness, He gave us life in place of death, and He crushed the Usurper under His feet and He reigns. Jesus’ love is the most powerful force in all Creation.
When we have been baptized and come to faith in Christ, we have responded by taking the kingdom: Master Sin, Lord Death, and Ruler Satan are utterly destroyed and have no right to rule our new life in Christ. We apply that power to our specific problems by daily repentance and weekly receiving the Gospel. Jesus (Joshua) takes back the kingdom and gives it to us. In Him we rule and dwell.
