Summary

“But I find in the Mishna, an old Jewish exposition of the Bible, these words, 'Joshua said to Achan, the Lord shall trouble thee this day.' And the note upon it is—He said this day, implying that he was only to be troubled in this life, by being stoned to death, but that God would have mercy on his soul, seeing that he had made a full confession of his sin. And I, too, am inclined, from reading the chapter, to concur in the idea of my venerable and now glorified predecessor, Dr. Gill, in believing that Achan really was saved, although he was put to death for the crime, as an example. For you will observe how kindly Joshua spoke to him. He said, 'My son, give, I pray thee, glory to the Lord God of Israel, and make confession unto him; and tell me now what thou hast done; hide it not from me.' And you find Achan making a very full confession. .. It seems so full a confession, that if I might be allowed to judge, I should say, “I hope to meet Achan the sinner, before the throne of God.” -Charles Spurgeon

0:50.8	Will I see Aiken in heaven? And I believe that I will. The hardest part of the text for me to grapple with this week in my study was when Joshua says to Aiken, my son, give glory to God,
0:59.9	and give him praise, and do not hide anything that you have done. And Aiken's response,
1:09.0	what he says to Joshua, let me find it because I don't believe that I actually
1:15.7	have it in your notes, but it's in our text today.
1:18.8	Joshua chapter 7, verses 10 through 26, verse 19.
1:25.5	Then Joshua said to Aiken, my son, give glory to the Lord God of Israel and give him praise and tell me now what you have done do not hide it from me
1:35.6	now listen to Aiken's response this is what was hard for me it doesn't sound like the response of someone currently in hell.
1:45.5	Aiken answered Joshua, truly, I have sinned against the Lord God of Israel, and this is what I did
1:51.5	when I saw among the spoil a beautiful cloak from Shannar and 200 shekels of silver and a bar
1:58.0	of gold weighing 50 shekels, then I coveted them.
2:01.6	He doesn't just say I did it.
2:03.8	He's thorough in his confession.
2:05.7	I coveted them and then took them and see they are hidden in the earth inside my tent
