Joshua led the nation around the massive, locked city of Jericho under strict commands from God. The strong city stood behind huge stone walls, laughing at the silent parade of priests carrying a gold box and blowing rams’ horns for seven days. People thought that thick stone guaranteed total safety against a wandering crowd. But human walls are completely hollow when the Lord of hosts gives an order. On the final lap, a loud shout from the people joined the trumpet blasts, and the massive stone walls instantly crashed flat into the dirt. The heavy stone dropped before the direct power of the Living God.
“So the people shouted when the priests blew with the trumpets: and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city.” Joshua 6:20
