    All over the Bible God talks about His Sovereignty. Here are the incidents in the books of History, from Joshua through Esther. God does what He wills!

The summarizing of Joshua's conquests is in the book by that name, chapter 11, verses 18-20. First, there was a long war. Next, virtually no city was exempt from the ...read more
