It happened, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went to him, and said to him, Are you for us, or for our adversaries?
"Art thou for us, or for our adversaries ...?" As Matthew Henry declared, "This implies that the conflict between Israel and the Canaanites, between Christ and Beelzebub, will admit of no neutrality.  As Christ himself said it, `He that is not for us is against us.'"[34]
