How Did Joshua Impact The World Today
HISTORICAL
What Joshua had accomplished during his time on earth not only impacted the nation of Israel, but also the history of the world. God promised the people of Israel that if they went to conquer the land of Canaan, or the Promised Land, they would receive it as their inheritance from the Lord.

Believers would simply be as lost as non-believers, continuously walking the wrong road in life, unaware of where their true path
