What I  Learned This Week

                This week I learned about the book of Deuteronomy and  Joshua. The book of Deuteronomy is the 5th book in the bible, it's also about laws. It foreshadows the coming of Jesus Christ. It has other stories too like Departure  from Horeb, Defeat of Sihon, Feast of the Passover, and more. There are 12 curses in Deuteronomy:
  1. Slavery and Captivity
  2. Having no power to stand against the enemies
  3. Being sent back to Egypt by ship
  4. Exiled in the land of their enemies
  5. Scattered among all nations
  6. Sick and diseased people
  7. At the bottom of other races socially
  8. Lose the knowledge of who they are and will be called many scornful names 
  9. Put in jail
  10. Non-prosperous people
  11. Oppressed by their enemies
  12. Very religious and members of all religeons
The book of Joshua is about Israel's conquest of Canaan to the Babylonian exile. In this book Joshua (Moses son)  led the Israelites to Canaan. However the Canaanites refused to turn over their land. The Israelites took over the land. Joshua had undying devotion to God. He was an example of how we should devote ourselves to God.
