God had chosen Joshua to lead the Israelites into Canaan. On the eve of the battle of Jericho, Joshua encountered a man wielding a sword. Despite the surprise, Joshua displayed no fear. He approached the man and asked, "Are you with us or our enemies?" The man's identity as the captain of the Lord's army, likely Michael, the angelic prince of Israel (see Dan. 10:21; 12:1), brought Joshua to his knees.
The real question was not whether the angel was on God's side, but whether Joshua was aligned with God's will.
This story serves as a lesson. In the struggle between truth and falsehood, Christians may challenge each other, asking, "Whose side are you on?" However, the critical question is not whether others are on our side, but whether we are on God's side.
God's truth will triumph. His plans will succeed, and alignment with God's Word and will is crucial, regardless of human power or influence.
Like Joshua, we should humble ourselves and inquire, "What does my Lord say to His servant?"
