Joshua told the leaders that they were to tell the people to get ready to cross the Jordan River but that wouldn't be for three days. Why did they have to wait three days? They had to wait because there was a person to be saved. God had waited four hundred years for the people of Canaan to repent and then judgment was to come. They could wait three more days while one person repents.
Some people wonder why God has not returned for His people and brought judgment upon the world. 2 Peter 3:9 says, "The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance." Just imagine if you were that last person to be saved before our Lord returns.
