Peppers
from pa/fe B3
scouting Jericho when he
encountered a heavenly
being who called himself the
"commander of the army of
the Lord." The successor to
Moses asked this man with
the drawn sword, "What
message does the Lord have
for him?" Joshua removed
his sandals because he was
on holy ground.
Lesson: Rahab told the
spies earlier that the people
were afraid of the Israelites.
Now that Israel is at Gilgal,
their fears have escalated!
All gates into the city are
closed- no one can enter or
leave. Joshua follows the
God-given instructions to
the letter. Once again, he is
reassured that the Lord is
with him. The strategy is
simple: for six days they are
to march around the city
wall one time in complete
silence; then on the seventh
day , they are to circle the
city seven times. When the
seventh circuit is completed
the priests will sound the
trumpets and they are to
shout loudly because the
city is theirs. The wall crum
bles! Everything has to be
destroyed in the city except
Rahab and her family who
are all in her house. They are
forbidden to take any relics
for they bring destruction
and trouble. All gold, silver.
bronze, and iron are to be
put in the Lord's treasury.
For the most part, the people
are obedient, with one
exception. This leads into
next week's lesson.
Application: The
world's predicament is in a
mess! Corrupt governments
oppress and exploit their cit
izens. The world economy is
unsteady. The plight of
women and children is
ignored. Pollution is on the
rise while some politicians
declare it's a hoax. Diseases
that could be cured aren't
for the sake of the system.
Violence appears to have the
upper hand. Manners and
respect are old fashioned
these days. Viewing all of
this with human eyes leads
one to think that solutions
are impossible. The wall of
protection around them is
high and thick, much like
Jericho. We believers are
like Israel as they got into
position to take Jericho. We
must recognize that God
gives the victory and we
must have faith in His
orders. It may seem strange
at times, but God knows
what needs to be done. This
is true not only in our corpo
rate lives but in our personal
lives also. When we're in
the midst, don't fret. Look
back over your life to see
how God brought you out.
Then take heart, go to Him
and trust that victory is on
the way!
