The Story of Joshua and the Battle of Jericho

"When the horn rang, people cried ... (and) ... the walls have collapsed" (Joshua 6: 20). This is the story of Joshua and the Israelites when they entered the promised land known as Canaan. The Lord commanded them to start with Jericho and enter the land to conquer all the cities. The story of the fight between Joshua and Jericho is a famous story. Everyone who attended school on Sunday heard this famous Bible record. What was overlooked at Sunday school was the passage after the wall collapsed. "They devoted the city to the Lord, destroyed all living creatures therein - cows, sheep, and donkeys, regardless of gender" (Joshua 6:21)

Joshua 6 has always fascinated me. This "battle" is different from other historical battles. God did not attack the walls of Jericho, but gave Joshua and the people of Israel different instructions. Prior to the battle, Joshua met with the Almighty, led the circle of prayer, and God gave Joshua specific instructions for this fight.

When Joshua and Jericho fought to regain the land promised by God, the walls of Jericho could not be defeated by natural means. But Joshua was still obedient and departed in accordance with God's instructions to God seven times (and some other instructions given to him from the Lord). After Joshua completed God's instructions, the wall fell quickly. Because God will not be allowed to have that wall, Joshua will run around the land he promised to escape. God allowed the barriers to demonstrate their power, and Joshua defeated his obstacles. When I saw how big the wall around Jericho was, he did not shy away from his promise, but acted perfectly on the Lord's request, and the barrier broke.

Joshua led the Jew to the promised land. The two spies continued to travel Jericho. Larryhub hid a spy on the roof of his inn, and when King Jericho asked soldiers to turn their spies inside their inn, she seemed to find a spy in the opposite direction lying about her place I asked. Rahab kept silent about the spying mission, when Jericho was invaded and destroyed, Joshua forgave the life of Rahab and his family. Rahab's history as a prostitute may cause others to suspect her worth, but she believes in the only real god, jeopardizes her life by providing safety to Joshua's spies It was. She asked how God saved the Jew from the enemy. And when she was murdered by all who did not obey God, she personally experienced his salvation with loyalty to God.
