Joshua 1:18

Verse 18

18. Against thy commandment Literally, Every man who rebels against thy mouth; that is, who shows contempt for thy commands.

Shall be put to death A righteous verdict against the rebel, and in accordance with the law of the Most High. Deuteronomy 17:12. Resistance to His chosen representative is a crime no less heinous than avowed rebellion against His sovereignty. So long as a government is subserving its ends in administering justice and conserving human society, the attempt to subvert it by violence is a crime of the greatest enormity, striking at the very foundation of all the earthly interests of mankind, and opening wide the floodgates of civil war. Notes Romans 13:1-7.
