After 40 years in the wilderness, the Israelites, now led by Joshua...
Oh thats me! I'm Joshua...
God appointed me to succeed Moses and lead the Israelites into the promise land.
Our story begins with the Israelites camping across the river looking into the land of Canaan, the land promised to them by God many years before hand.
Joshua being an obedient and faithful servant, instructed by God to conquer Jericho.
God gives him a unique plan.
March around the city once for 6 days, in silence but then on the 7th day... March 7 times and get your priests to blow their trumpets and have everyone yell and shout and the walls of Jericho will come down.
Crash, crash they all come down.
The walls of Jericho crumbled to the ground.
The blowing of horns and Israelite screams for the promise land!!!
The fortified city of Jericho fell, not by military might but by divine command!
Crash, crash, crash... the walls came down!!!
As a final preparation, I sent out two spies into Jericho. The spies stayed in the house of Rahab. The king of Jericho sent soldiers who asked Rahab to bring out the spies. Instead, she hid them under bundles of flax on the roof. After escaping, the spies promised to spare Rahab and her family after taking the city, if she would mark her house by hanging a red cord out the window.
Crash, crash they all come down.
The walls of Jericho crumbled to the ground.
The blowing of horns and Israelite screams for the promise land!!!
The fortified city of Jericho fell, not by military might but by divine command!
Crash, crash, crash... the walls came down!!!
We marched and marched for six days without a word. Doing exactly what God had told us to do. As days and night's passed we continued our task. On the dawn of the seventh day I cheered and told the Israelites...
Shout, shout for the Lord has given you the city!
Crash, crash they all come down.
The walls of Jericho crumbled to the ground.
The blowing of horns and Israelite screams for the promise land!!!
The fortified city of Jericho fell, not by military might but by divine command!
Crash, crash, crash... the walls came down!!!
Down! Down!
The walls of Jericho are down!!!
