“And it shall come to pass, that when they make a long blast with the ram's horn, and when ye hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people shall ascend up every man straight before him.”
Joshua 6:5 KJV
God instructed Joshua that when they hear the blare of the shofars on the seventh day, let all the people shout with a mighty shout of joy! Then the walls of the city will collapse before their eyes, and the whole army must charge straight in! The perimeter of Jericho was four miles with thick impenetrable walls. The walled city of Jericho represents the stronghold of the natural mind and every high thought that exalts itself against the knowledge of the true God, opposing the ways of God. The door of truth is not the intellect but the spirit yielded to God. Daniel saw the writing on the wall and knew that Babylon would fall. Ezekiel dug through the wall to uncover the abominations that were hidden. Joel saw an army that would run and climb up the walls. David leapt over the wall. Joshua shouted and the walls toppled. God discourages all forms of self-reliance, to demonstrate His power and bring all the glory to Himself. Let’s learn to rely on the Holy Spirit rather than our own selves. Thank You Lord for leading us! Amen!
