“the king of Jericho, one; the king of Ai, which is beside Beth-el, one; the king of Jerusalem, one; the king of Hebron, one; the king of Jarmuth, one; the king of Lachish, one; the king of Eglon, one; the king of Gezer, one;”
Joshua 12:9-12 KJV
These are the nine out of thirty one kings, Joshua destroyed utterly. Our heavenly Yeshua has defeated every principality, power and stronghold that resists our advance in Christ. The meaning of the names of these cities represents principalities that dull our understanding of the finished work of Christ for us. Jericho represents walls, impossibilities, limitations. Ai means a heap of ruins and represents the world system. Jerusalem then ruled by Adoni-zedek means lord of righteousness which represents counterfeit spirituality. Hebron ruled by Hoham means fellowship and broken representing broken fellowship with God. Jarmuth meaning lifted up, ruled by Piram meaning wild donkey represents pride and arrogance. Lachish means impregnable, ruled by Japhia meaning splendid and bright, represents human ingenuity. Eglon which means bull-like represents human arguments and oratory. Gezer means steep and precipitous represents a sharp tongue with stinging words. These are some of the principalities which hinder our walk in the Spirit and which we overcome by the Blood of the Lamb and by the Word of our testimony. Hallelujah!
