What can bring down an impossible wall? In Joshua 6, Israel faces the fortified city of Jericho with its massive walls — and God brings them down without a battering ram. Dr. Toby Holt walks through one of Scripture's most famous, faith-building accounts. God's plan defies military sense: march around the city for seven days, blow trumpets, and shout. There is no army or weapon that can stop those who serve the Lord, and no wall that can withstand His power. When the people obeyed and shouted, the walls fell flat. Holt draws out what Jericho teaches about faith and obedience.
Questions this study answers:
1. How did the walls of Jericho fall? Not by Israel's strength, but by God's power, after they obediently marched and shouted at His command. The victory was clearly the Lord's.
2. Why did God use such an unusual plan? So that the glory would be His alone. The strange strategy made plain that Jericho fell by faith and obedience, not human might.
3. What can we learn from Jericho? That no obstacle is too great for God, and that faith expresses itself in obedience. The God who toppled Jericho still fights for His people.
"So the people shouted when the priests blew the trumpets… and the wall fell down flat." — Joshua 6:20 (NKJV)
