The Israelites were not to rely on their own strength but on God's promise and power. This reflects the covenant relationship where God acts on behalf of His people. Historically, the Canaanite nations were known for their fortified cities and military prowess, yet God assured Israel of victory. This mirrors the earlier promise in <a href="/exodus/23-27.htm">Exodus 23:27-30</a>, where God promised to send His terror ahead of Israel to drive out the inhabitants. It also foreshadows the spiritual battles believers face, where reliance on God's power is crucial (<a href="/ephesians/6-10.htm">Ephesians 6:10-18</a>).<p><b>and you will dispossess nations greater and stronger than you</b><br>This highlights the miraculous nature of Israel's conquest. The Canaanite nations were advanced in terms of military and infrastructure, often possessing chariots and fortified cities. The Israelites, having been nomadic for 40 years, lacked such resources. This scenario underscores the theme of God's strength being made perfect in human weakness (<a href="/2_corinthians/12-9.htm">2 Corinthians 12:9</a>). It also serves as a type of Christ, who through apparent weakness (His crucifixion) triumphed over the powers of sin and death (<a href="/colossians/2-15.htm">Colossians 2:15</a>). The dispossession of these nations is a fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham in <a href="/genesis/15-18.htm">Genesis 15:18-21</a>, demonstrating God's faithfulness across generations.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD (Yahweh)</a></b><br>The covenant-keeping God of Israel, who promises to act on behalf of His people.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/i/israelites.htm">Israelites</a></b><br>The chosen people of God, who are being prepared to enter the Promised Land.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/n/nations.htm">Nations</a></b><br>Refers to the Canaanite nations inhabiting the Promised Land, which Israel is commanded to dispossess.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/p/promised_land.htm">Promised Land</a></b><br>The land of Canaan, promised by God to Abraham and his descendants.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a></b><br>The leader of the Israelites, delivering God's commandments and promises to the people.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_sovereignty_and_faithfulness.htm">God's Sovereignty and Faithfulness</a></b><br>Trust in God's promises, as He is sovereign and faithful to fulfill His word, even when circumstances seem daunting.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/d/divine_assistance_in_overcoming_challenges.htm">Divine Assistance in Overcoming Challenges</a></b><br>Recognize that God equips and empowers His people to overcome obstacles that appear insurmountable by human standards.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/t/the_importance_of_obedience.htm">The Importance of Obedience</a></b><br>Obedience to God's commands is crucial for experiencing His promises and blessings, as seen in the context of <a href="/bsb/deuteronomy/11.htm">Deuteronomy 11</a>.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/f/faith_over_fear.htm">Faith Over Fear</a></b><br>Embrace faith over fear, knowing that God is greater than any challenge or adversary we may face.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/s/spiritual_warfare.htm">Spiritual Warfare</a></b><br>Understand that spiritual battles require reliance on God's strength and not our own, paralleling Israel's conquest of Canaan.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_deuteronomy_11.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Deuteronomy 11</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/does_deut._11_22-23_support_god_driving_out_nations.htm">In Deuteronomy 11:22–23, what evidence supports or contradicts the claim that God would “drive out” nations from the land? </a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/can_history_verify_god_gave_israel_land.htm">(Psalm 44:1–3) How can we verify historically or archaeologically that God “drove out the nations” and gave Israel the land? </a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/why_does_1_john_4_8_say_'god_is_love'.htm">How can 1 John 4:8 say 'God is love' when the Old Testament shows actions that don't seem loving?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/how_does_ruth_fit_deut._23_3's_exclusion.htm">Deuteronomy 23:3 -
