Joshua 6;16 ‘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!

DAILY READING• Revelation 20; Isaiah 7-8; Psalm 110

When the Bible speaks of the walls of Jericho falling down, the original Hebrew wording carries the idea of the walls falling “below themselves.”
This Biblical description is consistent with the findings of early archaeological work done on Jericho in the late 1950s by investigators, such as Dame Kathleen Kenyon. These archeologists found evidence that the walls of Jericho had collapsed “below themselves, ” in such a way that created a ramp for the Israelites to march on to go “up” and take the city.
Another proof of the Bible’s accuracy about the fall of Jericho was the archaeological find about Rahab’s house. During an early excavation in 1907-1909, German archaeologists found that, although most of the wall had collapsed, a portion of the wall had not entirely collapsed and appeared to have been preserved. They also found evidence that houses had been built along the wall which is consistent with the Biblical narrative.
Another detail that is also of interest in the archaeological site of Jericho is the presence of full pots of charred grain that were burned from when the city was attacked and destroyed. What is unusual about these grain pots is that the grain would probably have been eaten during a prolonged siege, but the fact that the grain pots were still full is consistent with the Biblical narrative that the siege of Jericho by the Israelites had lasted only seven days.

Jericho was the strongest city in the Promised Land and the first that had to be conquered by Joshua.
Jericho’s huge stone wall was so thick that chariots could ride on top of it. But in Joshua chapter six, God set the pattern to let us know that praise can bring down any wall no matter how formidable.
God told Joshua to tell the people to march around the great walls of Jericho for 6 days, one time a day, and on the seventh day, they were to march around seven times. On the seventh day, on the seventh time around, God told them to release a shout. On that seventh day, on the seventh time around, after the priests blew the trumpets and the people shouted in praise to God. All of a sudden, the thick walls of Jericho that had stood between them and thei promised land came tumbling down.
The truth is that between you and your destiny, there will always be a wall of Jericho, that will try to resist your progress. Jericho’s walls represent issues that are so crucial that until you have conquered them you cannot move forward or enjoy God’s blessings in your life. You either have to defeat them, or they are going to try to stop you. But whatever walls of resistance you may be confronted with today, as you lift up a shout of praise as your battle cry, those walls will surely fall.. The shout of high praises causes God to arise and when He arises every enemy and walls of opposition before you must scatter. Certainly, praise precedes your victory and turns obstacles into miracles.

PRAYER: Lord, I thank You for granting me the grace to keep praising You in the face of every opposition and resistance. By Your power every wall of Jericho resisting my progress will surely come tumbling down today in Jesus Name.
