The Walls Of Jericho
The Walls Of Jericho

After the Israelites crossed the Jordan River into Canaan, God commanded Joshua to attack Jericho. God commanded that the priests should take the ark of the covenant and let seven priests carry trumpets and march in front of the ark. The people were commanded have armed guards march in front of the ark and the priests and a rear guard was to march behind the ark. They were then told to march around the city one time a day for six days.

The people obeyed God’s word and marched around Jericho as God had commanded them. As they marched each day, the priests who went before the ark blew their trumpets. After they marched around the city once, all of Israel returned to their camp.

On the seventh day, the children of Israel marched around the city seven times. After the seventh time around the city, the priests blew their trumpets and Joshua commanded the people, “Shout, for the Lord has given you the city.” When the people shouted, the walls of Jericho fell flat.

Then the children of Israel ran into Jericho and destroyed it as God had commanded them to do.

God brought the walls of Jericho down after the children of Israel had done what God wanted them to do. In this story we learn that God will help us if we do what He says.

We also learn that God is powerful enough to do anything. Jesus said in Matthew 19:26, “...with God all things are possible.”
