Sermon Transcript Tone Analysis

Man, good singing tonight.

All right.

What a lovely song in the sweet by-and-by if you would take your Bible and turn with me to Joshua chapter, number 6, Joshua chapter number 6, as we are continuing our study.

Through the Book of Joshua.

Joshua chapter number 6.

And will begin reading their inverse.

Number one, A Jericho was securely shut up because of the children of Israel, none went out and none came in, and the Lord said to Joshua, see, I have given Jericho into your hand is king and the Mighty Man of Valor.

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 ram horns before the Ark by the seventh day.

You shall March around the city seven times and they make a long.

And when they make a long blast with the Rams, warm, and when you hear the sound of the trumpet, they all that all the people shall showdowns 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.

Then Joshua the son of nun called the priests and said to them.

They got the Ark of the Covenant and let seven priests bear seven trumpets of ram horns.

Before the Ark of the Lord and he said to the people for seed and March around the city and let him who is armed Advance before the Ark of the Lord.

So it was Joshua has spoken to the people that the seven priests bearing, the seven trumpets of ram horn, Rams horns, before the Lord's at Advanced and blue, the trumpets and the Ark of the Covenant, the Lord followed them.

The armed men, went before the priest and blew the trumpets in the rear guard, came after the arc, while the priests continue blowing the trumpets by Joshua had commanded.

The people saying, you shall not shout or make any noise with your voice, nor shall I wear a seat out of your mouth.

Until the day, I say to you, shout, then you shout shout.

So he had the Ark of the Lord Circle the city.

Going it's going around at once, then they came into the camp and lodged in the camp and Joshua Rose early in the morning and the priests took up the Ark of the Lord.

Then seven priests bearing seven trumpets of rams horns before the Ark of the Lord went on continually and blue with the trumpets and the armed men, went before them.

But the rearguard came after the Arc of the, of the Lord, while the priests continue blowing the trumpets, and the second day, they marched around the city once and return to the camp.

So they did six days.

But it came to pass on the 7th day that they arose early about the dawning of the day in March around the city 7 times in the same manner, on the day, on that day, only they March around the city seven times and the seventh time.

It happened.

When the breeze blew the trumpets that Joshua said to the people, shout for the Lord has given you the city.

Now, the city shall be doomed by the Lord to destruction it and all who are in it.

Only Rahab, the Harlot shall live, she and all who are with her in the house because she hit the messengers that we sent and You by all means, abstain from the accursed things less.

You become a curse when you take of the accursed things and make the camp of Israel, a curse and trouble it.

But all the silver and gold in vessels of bronze and iron are consecrated to the Lord.

They shall come into the treasury of the Lord.

So the people shouted, when the priests blew the trumpet,

And it happened.

When the people heard the sound the trumpet, When 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 and they destroyed all that was in the city, both, man and woman, young, and old, ox, and sheep, and donkey with the edge of the sword.

But Joshua had said to the two men who had spied out the country going to the harlots house.

And from there, bring out the woman and all that she has as you swore to her, and the young man who had been spies Went in and brought out Rahab her father, her mother her brothers and all that she had.

So that they brought out all her relatives and left them outside the camp of Israel.

But they burned the city and all that was in it with fire.

Only the silver and gold in the vessels of bronze and iron.

They put it into the treasury, the house of the Lord and Joshua spared Rahab the Harlot, her father's household and all that she had.

So she dwells and is real to this day because she hear The Messengers whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.

Then Joshua charge them at that time.

Saying cursed, be the man, before the Lord, who Rises up and build the city of Jericho, he shall lay a foundation with his first born and with his youngest, he shall set it up its Gates.

So the Lord was with Joshua and his Fame spread throughout all the country.

Let's pray Our Father God.

We thank you.

Lord.

So much for this day that you've given us.

Follow me.

Thank you.

Lord, for this time.

Tonight to read your word to read entire chapter of this tremendous miracle.

And father I pray that as we study this briefly, I pray, God, that you would help us to apply the trews.

Lord to our heart and life.

I pray that we would see the spiritual implications Lord of what historically happened so many years ago.

Father, I pray that you would give us listening ears and hearts receptive to your word and father help us as we enter into a time of prayer.

Father, help us to pray fervently.

For those who are in need and follow, may you bless the children in the youth that are studying.

At this moment, downstairs fall.

We love you, ask all these things in Christ name.

Amen, you probably have heard the old song, the old spiritual Joshua Fought the Battle of Jericho, right?

And that Baseline goes, and the walls came tumbling down, something like that.

It's both right and wrong.

Joshua Fought the Battle of Jericho and the walls came tumbling down where the walls, they certainly tumbledown, they they certainly collapse.

The Bible tells us that first 20 that every one, every man charged into the City and they took the city, but there was no battle actually to be fought.

I mean, God gave Jericho into Israel's hands and the whole account of this romantic 6 chapter its centres around the gracious gift of The Sovereign Lord, if there was ever a case study of the Lord, as the hero of this narrative, it is this chapter right here?

Israel was not responsible for the great Victory there in Jericho Joshua himself though.

He was much greater after this.

This defeat of Jericho, Joshua was not responsible for this.

This defeat of Jericho God, what?

God was the one?

Who gave them a mighty Victory, other three things I want us to notice briefly this evening.

Concerning this chapter, I noticed.

First of all, Israel had a problem.

Israel had a problem and of course it was the mighty walls of Jericho is the walls of Jericho will.

Look at that in just a moment but Israel.

Yes had a problem but Israel was not the only one with the problem.

We see that inverse number one, Now Jericho was securely shut up because of the children of Israel, none went out.

None came in, so it's houses, they're rather matter-of-factly.

That's Jericho was under siege, they had shut down the gates, no one was able to leave.

No one was able to come in and you think about it.

Here Jericho does not know much at all about the God of Israel but what they do know cause them to fear they had her just as Rahab had heard how God had Deliver them from the hand of evil Pharaoh.

They had heard how God had parted the Red Sea, a so many years ago they had heard how God sustained 2 million shoes in the wilderness without any water or food and now they see with their very own eyes.

Many many, thousands of men who are here and they know that somehow someway to million Israelis have just crossed the Jordan River during its most widest point during flood season.

So they don't know much about Gaba.

What they do know is that the god of Israel is a god of Miracles and a guy that that must be feared and so they shut down all the interest snowman house and no man in Now, as far as the city of Jericho goes Jericho is known to be the world's oldest city.

Joshua's date was surrounded by a system of two massive stone walls.

The outer wall with six feet, thick and about 20 feet high.

The inner wall is about twelve feet, thick and 30 ft High between the walls, was a guarded walkway and that was about 15 ft wide.

So just a massive Fortress, a massive defense Fortress around the entirety of the city.

So, Israel's problem was that they had a city to conquer, but there were some extremely huge walls in the way.

And then we think about it for Israel, hear this was Jericho for them would be a sort of a benchmark for them.

It was at Jericho that they would Flex their muscles and experienced military Victory and Conquest, But trying to put yourself.

In the shoes of the average is Israelite Soldier.

I mean, for most of these men, Jericho was the first city that they had ever seen, that was surrounded by these massive walls.

It must have looked and no doubt it look like an absolute impossibility that they were somehow going to concur.

This city.

However, they listen to the instructions that they were given to that were given to them by the Lord.

And as we know the story, The Walls fell down flat.
