lJoshua 5:13-14 (NIV) Now when Joshua was near Jericho, he looked up and
saw a man standing in front of him with a drawn
sword in his hand. Joshua went up to him and asked,
"Are you for us or for our enemies?" 14
"Neither," he replied, "but as commander of the army of
the LORD I have now come." Then Joshua
fell facedown to the ground in reverence, and asked him,
"What message does my Lord have for his
servant?"
