The final preparation of joshua and israel to conquer canaan included what four significant events?

1. God's charge to Joshua

2. The reconnaissance of Jericho

3. The crossing of the Jordan

4. A spiritual renewal at Gilgal

Explanation:

The land God had promised to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and the nation Israel was near; and Joshua had been chosen and commissioned to lead Israel in their conquest of Canaan.

The armies of Canaan were strong; they were experienced in war and well equipped. The Canaanites had iron chariots (Joshua 17:18) and fortified cities (Numbers 13:28).  

In His final preparation of Joshua and Israel for their conquest of Canaan, God put Joshua in charge to cross the Jordan (1:2), to conquer the land (1:3-5), and to divide the inheritance (1:6). In Joshua 1:8, the Lord exhorted Joshua that prosperity and success were dependent upon the careful meditation in and obedience to His Book of the Law—all that was written therein. In Joshua 1:9, God encouraged Joshua to be strong, courageous, and fearless because Yahweh his God was with him at all times and in every place — “wherever you go.” In immediate response to God’s charge, Joshua instructed Israel to prepare to entry into and take possession of the land.
