📚 Historical Context
Moses was speaking to the Israelites before they entered the Promised Land, preparing them for the conquest of Canaan. The nations living in Canaan at that time - like the Hittites, Canaanites, and others - had fortified cities, advanced weapons, and larger armies than the Israelites. This promise was meant to encourage them that God's power, not their own military strength, would give them victory.
