In this video listen to Joshua 24 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer.

In Joshua 24 his dying words continue in a second chapter. Here we find the most famous verse in the entire book of Joshua, written on the walls of the homes of believers, and on church walls and more. Joshua says “as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” Serving other gods in antiquity was a more obvious thing than the other gods so many follow now.

Today it's possible to say the above with apparent sincerity and to be entirely wrong about it. People worship many things and their hearts follow many things that don’t look idolatrous. The twenty four chapters represent about 25 years of time, so the book closes at around about 1381 BC. At this point the book ends with three burials. Burial 1 - Joshua is 110 years old, a picture of Christ.
