CHAPTER 3
THE BIBLICAL BASIS: OLD TESTAMENT;
The Bible is filled with examples of environmental analysis. It is a record of man’s environment
on earth and his response to the influences of that environment. For example, the Bible analyzes
the past, present, and future environments of man. It analyzes the spiritual condition of men and
women apart from God and contrasts it with that of true believers. It also analyzes our spiritual
enemies.
For example Joshua
Chapter 2: Environmental analysis done by two spies. Note how their analysis differed from
that of the first spies in Numbers 13-14. Faith never minimizes the difficulties after analyzing
them. Faith just sees them as being small in comparison to God’s power.
Chapter 7: Joshua was not alert to the spiritual environment and suffered defeat.
Chapter 9: The results of analyzing in the natural senses without the counsel of God. Note
verse 14.
Note: Environmental analysis is important throughout the book of Joshua in
preparation for the various battles to possess the land. The battle plan was usually
based on the result of analyzing the environment. This is true of many of the Old
Testament battles. Can this be applied spiritually
Thank you
