And when Joshua heard the noise of the people
as they shouted, he said unto Moses,
there is a noise of war in the camp.
So you notice when Joshua's gone a long ways away,
he says, man, it sounds like they went to war with somebody.
I hear a battle going on.
There's a war going on.
Cause there's a certain sort of noise
that's gonna fit with a war.
Shouting and loud and yelling and stuff like that.
It sounds like there's a war going on.
Verse 18, and he said,
it is not the voice of them that shout for mastery.
He's saying it's not that they're killing somebody
and winning and they're cheering and everything like that.
It's not that they're cheering
cause they're getting a victory.
Then he says, neither is it the voice of them
that cry for being overcome.
Now, don't you think it's true
that if someone was gonna stab you with a sword
or cut off your head,
you would cry out naturally out of fear?
Everyone would do that, right?
If somebody is beating you up, you're scared for your life,
you're gonna cry out normally.
If you're winning, you're gonna cry out.
But Joshua is saying,
it's not that somebody is winning or losing a battle,
but notice what he says.
But the noise of them that sing, do I hear?
Do you see that?
He's like, it sounds like there's a war going on.
Oh, actually they're just singing songs.
Now, what kind of song do you think they were singing?
Be still my soul, the Lord is on my side.
I don't think that's the noise of war.
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound.
That doesn't sound like the noise of war to me.
Now look, you know what music I think,
because they say that, you know,
hey, rock music was invented in the 20th century.
No, I think it was invented a long time before that.
It's like this is most fitting, in my opinion,
with rock music.
