Beware of Him, and obey His voice, provoke Him not; for He will not pardon your transgressions: for My name is in Him” (Ex. 23:20-21). EDennett la56907 (article #569067)

• Satan, therefore, had grounds for resisting Joshua, that is, for opposing God’s purposes of grace towards His people. They were guilty, and this was evident from the very garments with which Joshua was clothed; and the problem here to be solved was, How could God bless, righteously bless, His people, according to His purposes? EDennett la56907 (article #569067)
