Rise up! O Joshua generation. Again, I say rise up! There is a land I have declared before you flowing with milk and honey, but do not be so quick to blindly charge in eager for its spoils. There beyond lie Giants and snares greedily guarding the storehouses. Whom of you will go despite these dangers? Whom of you will not even stop there and want to take the distant mountain? Whom of you will take your inheritance that has been promised you? I did not say it would be easy, but that is why I have called you my warrior.
I am the lion that walks beside you, and whose roar echoes in your battle cry. I have given you the gift of restlessness because the ordinary does not satisfy. Stand ready now. I will test your resolve. You are my legion, my special reserve that does not know fear and shudders at content. I have saved you for a time such as this. O roaring lambs I call you to face the wolves, but my boldness is upon you. You fight with my heart and wear my seal upon your shield. The choice is yours to carry it. I can only call, you must decide to hoist and bear my banner.
O Joshua generation why wait any longer? Can you hold back a horse that was meant to run? You know no limits for I have given you none. Indeed you know what is at stake. Will you surrender all and serve me? For I have already given you your place for all eternity. The honor you seek is mine to give. Make the enemy know your name and tremble. The war is won, but the battle for peace will not cease until I call you home. “Rise up. Rise up and well done.”
