Study Lenses

The verse centers on "cometh", "pass", "after", "things", "joshua", "servant", "jehovah", and "dieth". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "cometh" and "pass", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.

The nearby context moves from verse 28's "And Joshua sendeth the people away each..." into verse 30's "and they bury him in the border...", so "cometh" and "pass" belong inside that flow. In Joshua context, the local focus is covenant, worship, and faithfulness.

A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "cometh" and "pass" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
