In Joshua 5:13, an angel appears to Joshua with a drawn sword. This page illustrates that moment when Joshua encounters 'a man standing in front of him with a drawn sword.' Kids will love bringing this powerful story to life through art.

How to Use These Coloring Pages

While kids color, ask them how they think Joshua felt seeing the angel with the sword. Highlight the moment when Joshua realizes he’s in the presence of a warrior of God. Prepare some colored pencils or markers, and maybe even have a follow-up discussion about trusting God in tough situations. This can be a great way to reinforce the lesson!

More about these coloring pages

After reading about Joshua's brave encounter, I handed my 9-year-old the angel with sword coloring page. She immediately asked, 'Why did the angel have a sword?' We talked about how angels can be protectors, just like in the Bible. One of the images shows the angel standing tall, sword drawn, ready to guide Joshua. The short phrase from the scripture, 'a man standing in front of him with a drawn sword,' (Joshua 5:13) really connects the moment. I love how these pages spark curiosity and lead to deeper discussions. Coloring together is a great way for us to bond. My kids often share their thoughts about the stories as they color. These pages would be wonderful for any church event or quiet afternoon at home.
