The Walls of Jericho: Lesson Eight

When God says shout, shout.

On the seventh day they rose early and went around the city seven times.

Joshua 6:15 (KJV): And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they rose early about the dawning of the day, and compassed the city after the same manner seven times: only on that day they compassed the city seven times.

Then Joshua said, Shout, for the LORD has given you the city.

Joshua 6:16 (KJV): And it came to pass at the seventh time, when the priests blew with the trumpets, Joshua said unto the people, Shout; for the LORD hath given you the city.

The people shouted, and the wall fell down flat.

Joshua 6:20 (KJV): 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.

The walls did not fall by force. They fell by faith.

The LORD was with Joshua, and the whole country heard about it.

Joshua 6:27 (KJV): So the LORD was with Joshua; and his fame was noised throughout all the country.
