YHWH And The Failed Prophecy Of Jebus
In Joshua 3:10 the eponymous Jew is quoted as saying the following:
“Hereby ye shall know that the living God is among you, and
that he will without fail drive out from before you the Canaanites, and the
Hittites, and the Hivites, and the Perizzites, and the Girgashites, and the
Amorites, and the Jebusites.”
This is a
repetition of a promise had from God's own lips in earlier books. And this is
what actually happened:
“As for the Jebusites the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the children of Judah could not drive them out; but the Jebusites dwell with the children of Judah at Jerusalem unto this day.” [Joshua 15:63]
“As for the Jebusites the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the children of Judah could not drive them out; but the Jebusites dwell with the children of Judah at Jerusalem unto this day.” [Joshua 15:63]
