[It is a fair decision] since it is a righteous thing with God to repay with distress and affliction those who distress and afflict you,

VI. TITLE:
Trouble will return to the enemy
VII. EXPLICATION:
A. Author: Joshua (uncertain)
B. Key Thought: How to be successful in the battle of life? (Joshua 1:8-9)
Joshua 1:8-9 (NLT)
8 Study this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do.
9 This is my command—be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”
C. Leading Topic: Conquest and Division of the land of Canaan
VIII. MAIN BODY:
Joshua 7:25 (Amplified Bible)
And Joshua said, Why have you brought trouble on us? The Lord will trouble you this day. And all Israel stoned him and those with him with stones, and afterward burned their bodies with fire.
Joshua 7:25 (King James Version)
And Joshua said, Why hast thou troubled us? the LORD shall trouble thee this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones, and burned them with fire, after they had stoned them with stones.
A. JESUS is asking the enemy why he troubled GOD's creation?
"And Joshua said, Why have you brought trouble on us? The Lord will trouble you this day."
Achan symbolizes the enemy, while Joshua symbolizes the LORD JESUS. And of course, the LORD JESUS Himself troubles (disturb or afflict) our enemies not us.
Romans 12:19 (Amplified Bible)
Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave the way open for [God’s] wrath; for it is written, Vengeance is Mine, I will repay (requite), says the Lord.
Deuteronomy 32:35 (Amplified Bible)
Vengeance is Mine, and recompense, in the time when their foot shall slide; for the day of their disaster is at hand and their doom comes speedily.
Hebrews 10:30 (Amplified Bible)
For we know Him Who said, Vengeance is Mine [retribution and the meting out of full justice rest with Me]; I will repay [I will exact the compensation], says the Lord. And again, The Lord will judge and determine and solve and settle the cause and the cases of His people.
The LORD JESUS will fight our battles in this life and places us in the parade of victories.
1 Samuel 17:47 (Amplified Bible)
And all this assembly shall know that the Lord saves not with sword and spear; for the battle is the Lord’s, and He will give you into our hands.
1 Corinthians 15:57 (Amplified Bible)
But thanks be to God, Who gives us the victory [making us conquerors] through our Lord Jesus Christ.
2 Thessalonians 1:6 (Amplified Bible)
[It is a fair decision] since it is a righteous thing with God to repay with distress and affliction those who distress and afflict you,
It's a righteous thing before the eyes of GOD to repay all our enemies and debtors with distress and afflictions. This is what GOD does best.
ILLUSTRATION: The unbelievers of this world always attribute it to "karma" but there's no karma only JESUS who does the vengeance.
B. Now the enemy will forever suffer in the lake of fire
"And all Israel stoned him and those with him with stones, and afterward burned their bodies with fire."
Joshua 7:15 (Amplified Bible)
And he who is taken with the devoted things shall be [killed and his body] burned with fire, he and all he has, because he has transgressed the covenant of the Lord and because he has done a shameful and wicked thing in Israel.
Genesis 38:24 (Amplified Bible)
But about three months later Judah was told, Tamar your daughter-in-law has played the harlot, and also she is with child by her lewdness. And Judah said, Bring her forth and let her be burned!
Leviticus 20:14 (Amplified Bible)
And if a man takes a wife and her mother, it is wickedness and an outrageous offense; all three shall be burned with fire, both he and they [after being stoned to death], that there be no wickedness among you.
Leviticus 21:9 (Amplified Bible)
The daughter of any priest who profanes herself by playing the harlot profanes her father; she shall be burned with fire [after being stoned].
ILLUSTRATION: the people of this world thought they can punish crime and sin by imprisonment but imprisonment are for the immortals, the fallen angels, but what we need mortals is death penalty. This is the reason why our prison cells are filled with people with sin and crime, and it's overloaded nowadays, it's like they put these people in cage, like animals. Imprisonment are for the immortals, that's why GOD wants to repay these evil soul with death, so that they will experience second death.
Compare Revelation 9:14 and Leviticus 20:2:
Revelation 9:14 (Amplified Bible)
Saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, Liberate the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.
Leviticus 20:2 (Amplified Bible)
Moreover, you shall say to the Israelites, Any one of the Israelites or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel who gives any of his children to Molech [the fire god worshiped with human sacrifices] shall surely be put to death; the people of the land shall stone him with stones.
IX. CONCLUSION:
Praise, worship, glorify, adore, bless, honor, acknowledge and thank You very much LORD JESUS for Vengeance is Yours and You will repay all my enemies that troubled me, You will repay trouble with trouble upon my enemies.
