As we’ll see in the following Joshua 5:13-14 passage, this is the wrong question.
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?”
“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?”
The commander of the army of the LORD is Jesus Christ Himself, and His answer to Joshua is direct and determined. It’s not whether He is for one or the other side but whether Joshua and the Israelite nation are for Him. It’s the same today with this election.
Whether you’re for Trump or Biden, focusing your attention on one of them to be president and asking God to favor your choice this day is flawed thinking. The real question is whether you’re for Jesus. In the whole scope of eternity, that’s the main question to ask. The rest of the events and circumstances of this world are secondary.
