“When The Jericho Wall Fell”
Tuesday, February 18, 2025Key Verse
“And Joshua saved Rahab the harlot alive, and her father’s household, and all that she had; and she dwelleth in Israel even unto this day; because she hid the messengers, which Joshua sent to spy out Jericho” (Joshua 6:25).
Text —Joshua 6:20-27
Message
When the Berlin Wall dividing the Eastern from Western Germany came down on November 9, 1989, people from each of the two nations trooped out to embrace and rejoice with one another. The fallen wall of Jericho that we are treating today has more impactful and spiritual significance to all generations of people.
For the inhabitants of Jericho who had no covenant with the God of Israel, it was a day of anguish when the wall of Jericho fell. But it was a day of joy for the people of God. The surprising thing in the text was that a Jericho woman, Rahab, and her family were spared in the total destruction. The reason was that she and her family had faith in the salvation of the living God. A day is fast approaching when God will totally destroy this evil-ridden world like Jericho. Only people whose sins have been cleansed with the blood of the Lamb will be spared. You can repent and be cleansed now. If you are a child of God already, join in rescuing the perishing.
