The Walls of Jericho Fell Down

Commit your way to the Lord, Trust also in Him, And He shall bring it to pass - Psalm 37:5.

God's promise

And the Lord said to Joshua: “See! I have given Jericho into your hand, its king, and the mighty men of valor - Joshua 6:2.

God's plan

You shall march around the city, all you men of war; you shall go all around the city once. This you shall do six days. And seven priests shall bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark. But the seventh day you shall march around the city seven times, and the priests shall blow the trumpets. It shall come to pass, when they make a long blast with the ram’s horn, and when you hear the sound of the trumpet, that all the people shall shout with a great shout; then the wall of the city will fall down flat. And the people shall go up every man straight before him.”- Joshua 6:5.

Joshua & the people followed God's plan

But it came to pass on the seventh day that they rose early, about the dawning of the day, and marched around the city seven times in the same manner. On that day only they marched around the city seven times.  And the seventh time it happened, when the priests blew the trumpets, that Joshua said to the people: “Shout, for the Lord has given you the city! - Joshua 6:15,16.

By faith the walls of Jericho fell down & God's promise fulfilled

So the people shouted when the priests blew the trumpets. And it happened when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat. Then the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city - Joshua 6:20. By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they were encircled for seven days - Hebrews 11:30.
