00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:22,640
preparation and now the time has

00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:26,880
[Music]
4
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:29,359
come Joshua Moses is dead now you shall
5
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:32,239
lead my people arise be strong and
6
00:00:29,359 --> 00:00:34,960
courageous for wherever you tread that
7
00:00:32,239 --> 00:00:37,960
land shall be
8
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:40,879
yours but Canaan was not empty there
9
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:43,719
were impenetrable walls armies Ready for
10
00:00:40,879 --> 00:00:46,840
War and at the head of Israel a man who
11
00:00:43,719 --> 00:00:46,840
had to trust in God
12
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:56,280
alone am I truly ready for this but
13
00:00:54,039 --> 00:01:00,640
before The Battle Before drawing the
14
00:00:56,280 --> 00:01:00,640
sword God appeared
15
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:11,320
are you with us or with our
16
00:01:07,960 --> 00:01:15,360
enemies I am not on your side nor the
17
00:01:11,320 --> 00:01:15,360
enemies I stand with the
18
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:26,119
Lord the war was about to begin the fate
19
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:28,640
of a Nation hung in the balance but not
20
00:01:26,119 --> 00:01:30,479
all victories would bring Glory not all
21
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:34,520
battles would be triumphs
22
00:01:30,479 --> 00:01:34,520
for even the brave May
23
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:50,159
doubt Lord why have you forsaken
24
00:01:46,320 --> 00:01:53,000
us Israel has sinned until the sin is
25
00:01:50,159 --> 00:01:56,680
purged you will not
26
00:01:53,000 --> 00:02:01,840
Prevail but when all seemed lost God did
27
00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:01,840
the unthinkable the sun stood
28
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:09,399
still this is the story of a promise
29
00:02:05,799 --> 00:02:12,440
fulfilled of an impossible conquest of a
30
00:02:09,399 --> 00:02:12,440
God who never
31
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,640
fails Joshua the
32
00:02:21,959 --> 00:02:28,840
movie The Wilderness was now behind them
33
00:02:25,879 --> 00:02:31,239
for 40 years Israel wandered without
34
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:33,440
Direction their fathers died without
35
00:02:31,239 --> 00:02:37,519
seeing the promise because when God
36
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:40,440
spoke at SI they did not believe but now
37
00:02:37,519 --> 00:02:43,800
a new generation arose they were no
38
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:46,000
longer slaves of Egypt they were an army
39
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:49,280
ready to take the land God had promised
40
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:52,280
them and at their head stood a man not a
41
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:55,440
prophet like Moses not a king like David
42
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:58,640
but a warrior Joshua son of nun from the
43
00:02:55,440 --> 00:03:01,319
heights of Mount Nebo Moses gazed upon
44
00:02:58,640 --> 00:03:04,360
the Promised Land God allowed him to see
45
00:03:01,319 --> 00:03:06,640
it with his own eyes but not to enter it
46
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:09,760
was the end of his journey and on that
47
00:03:06,640 --> 00:03:11,959
mountain God called him home the people
48
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:14,080
mourned his death but The Grieving did
49
00:03:11,959 --> 00:03:18,440
not last long because the mission was
50
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:18,440
not over and God raised up a new
51
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:30,599
leader Joshua my servant Moses is dead
52
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:32,680
now arise lead this people into the land
53
00:03:30,599 --> 00:03:35,720
I have promised them every place the
54
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:37,920
soul of your foot Treads shall be yours
55
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:40,640
no one will be able to stand against you
56
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:43,480
for just as I was with Moses so I will
57
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:46,159
be with you be strong and courageous do
58
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:49,360
not turn from my law meditate on it day
59
00:03:46,159 --> 00:03:52,360
and night for if you do you will prosper
60
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,360
in all you
61
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:59,120
undertake Joshua heard the voice of God
62
00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:01,720
and his heart was strengthened he had
63
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:04,239
waited for this moment all his life he
64
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:06,879
had served as Moses's Aid he had
65
00:04:04,239 --> 00:04:09,640
witnessed the Miracles in Egypt he had
66
00:04:06,879 --> 00:04:13,439
been one of the two spies who believed
67
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:17,040
and now it was his time he rose gathered
68
00:04:13,439 --> 00:04:17,040
the leaders of Israel and
69
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:28,120
declared the time has come God has given
70
00:04:24,199 --> 00:04:31,440
us this land prepare Provisions for in 3
71
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:34,560
days we cross the
72
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:38,759
Jordan among the leaders one stepped
73
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:41,639
forward it was Caleb son of jafa an old
74
00:04:38,759 --> 00:04:44,440
man yet with the spirit of a youth he
75
00:04:41,639 --> 00:04:46,840
had fought beside Joshua in Egypt he had
76
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:48,880
believed the promise when others doubted
77
00:04:46,840 --> 00:04:52,080
he had watched his entire generation
78
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:54,520
perish in the wilderness but he remained
79
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:57,039
standing because God had promised him
80
00:04:54,520 --> 00:05:00,960
life to see the promised land with his
81
00:04:57,039 --> 00:05:04,600
own eyes then Caleb spoke and
82
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:08,240
said 40 years ago
83
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:12,800
Joshua only you and I believed in the
84
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:18,160
promise the others perished but God has
85
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:20,790
sustained us and today it is our turn to
86
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:23,560
fight for what is
87
00:05:20,790 --> 00:05:28,680
[Music]
88
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:30,400
ours that's right Caleb we saw the land
89
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:32,919
and now
90
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:36,360
we will take
91
00:05:32,919 --> 00:05:39,319
it but before the conquest they needed
92
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:41,880
to know their enemy Joshua sent two
93
00:05:39,319 --> 00:05:45,960
spies to the most fortified City in
94
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:49,319
Canaan Jericho walls taller than any
95
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:52,840
stronghold guards watching day and night
96
00:05:49,319 --> 00:05:56,039
a king determined to resist but inside
97
00:05:52,840 --> 00:05:58,800
Jericho There Was Fear the people had
98
00:05:56,039 --> 00:06:03,600
heard about Israel they knew what their
99
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:07,240
God had done in Egypt and they knew soon
100
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:09,840
the Israelites would be at their Gates
101
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:12,599
the spies entered in secret but the
102
00:06:09,840 --> 00:06:15,400
guards discovered them and they were
103
00:06:12,599 --> 00:06:19,319
pursued until they found refuge in the
104
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:22,680
house of a woman her name was Rahab a
105
00:06:19,319 --> 00:06:26,400
woman of ill repute but with a heart
106
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:30,919
full of Faith she hid them and when the
107
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:34,560
guards left she spoke
108
00:06:30,919 --> 00:06:38,639
I know the Lord has given you this land
109
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:42,319
Terror of you has fallen upon us since
110
00:06:38,639 --> 00:06:45,680
Egypt we have heard how your God parted
111
00:06:42,319 --> 00:06:49,800
the Red Sea how you destroyed the Kings
112
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:53,400
beyond the Jordan our hearts have melted
113
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:55,120
so I beg you spare me and my family when
114
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:58,919
you take the
115
00:06:55,120 --> 00:07:00,280
city then one of the spies answered her
116
00:06:58,919 --> 00:07:02,800
Rahab
117
00:07:00,280 --> 00:07:05,879
because you have shown
118
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:09,960
faith when God delivers this city into
119
00:07:05,879 --> 00:07:13,680
our hands you and your family will
120
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:17,520
live tie a scarlet cord in your window
121
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:20,680
and no harm will come to
122
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:22,840
you the spies escaped down the wall and
123
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:25,000
when they returned to Camp they reported
124
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,000
to
125
00:07:25,199 --> 00:07:31,120
Joshua the people of Jericho are
126
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:32,639
terrified God has already given the city
127
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:36,680
into our
128
00:07:32,639 --> 00:07:42,080
hands then the time has come we prepare
129
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:42,080
to cross the Jordan and conquer the
130
00:07:42,599 --> 00:07:48,440
land the day arrived Israel gathered on
131
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:51,319
the banks of the Jordan the river was at
132
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:52,280
flood stage impossible to cross but God
133
00:07:51,319 --> 00:07:54,800
gave
134
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:57,879
instructions let the priests take the
135
00:07:54,800 --> 00:08:01,120
Ark of the Covenant and go before the
136
00:07:57,879 --> 00:08:05,720
people when their feet Touch the Water
137
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:08,560
the Jordan will be cut off the priests
138
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:13,720
obeyed they took the ark and took the
139
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:17,560
first step and then the miracle happened
140
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:20,560
the waters stopped the river parted and
141
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:23,479
Israel crossed on dry ground just as
142
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:25,520
their fathers had at the Red Sea because
143
00:08:23,479 --> 00:08:27,599
the God who brought them out of Egypt
144
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:30,599
was the same God who would lead them to
145
00:08:27,599 --> 00:08:33,599
Victory Israel had crossed the Jordan
146
00:08:30,599 --> 00:08:36,240
the river once an impassible barrier was
147
00:08:33,599 --> 00:08:39,560
now behind them there was no turning
148
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:42,440
back ahead of them Jericho the most
149
00:08:39,560 --> 00:08:45,000
impenetrable walls in Canaan the first
150
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:47,920
obstacle in their Conquest but before
151
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:52,160
raising the sword before shouting the
152
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:55,399
battlecry god commanded something
153
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:58,480
unexpected Joshua before you conquer the
154
00:08:55,399 --> 00:09:01,279
land you must consecrate my people
155
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:03,079
circumcise every male for this
156
00:09:01,279 --> 00:09:06,079
generation has not yet sealed my
157
00:09:03,079 --> 00:09:07,360
Covenant and until they do they cannot
158
00:09:06,079 --> 00:09:10,640
claim what is
159
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:15,160
theirs Joshua responded in
160
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:17,560
Surprise Lord but if we weaken ourselves
161
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:20,720
now we could be
162
00:09:17,560 --> 00:09:24,600
attacked trust in me Joshua for you will
163
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:28,040
not win by the sword but by my
164
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:30,959
hand Joshua obeyed and at the foot of
165
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:33,880
the Hill near the Jord Jord Israel came
166
00:09:30,959 --> 00:09:37,399
to a halt every man from the youngest to
167
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:41,200
the oldest was circumcised an act of
168
00:09:37,399 --> 00:09:44,360
obedience an act of consecration an act
169
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:47,839
to remind them they were God's people
170
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:51,120
for day the Warriors could not move they
171
00:09:47,839 --> 00:09:53,560
were wounded vulnerable if Jericho
172
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:57,040
attacked it would mean their
173
00:09:53,560 --> 00:09:59,440
end but Jericho did not attack for the
174
00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:03,079
terror of the Lord had fallen upon the
175
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:05,800
City and in that place God renewed his
176
00:10:03,079 --> 00:10:08,519
Covenant with Israel because until that
177
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:11,279
day the people still bore the shame of
178
00:10:08,519 --> 00:10:14,079
Egypt but from that day forward they
179
00:10:11,279 --> 00:10:17,360
were free then God
180
00:10:14,079 --> 00:10:20,079
declared today I have rolled away the
181
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:22,720
disgrace of Egypt from you now you are a
182
00:10:20,079 --> 00:10:27,120
holy people this place shall be called
183
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:29,800
gilgal for here I have removed your
184
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:32,480
reproach
185
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:35,480
that night the people celebrated
186
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:39,000
Passover the first Passover in the
187
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:42,600
promised land for the first time in 40
188
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:45,399
years they did not eat Mana they took
189
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:48,040
grain from Canaan they harvested fruit
190
00:10:45,399 --> 00:10:50,959
from the valley because from that day on
191
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:53,040
God would send no more Mana now Israel
192
00:10:50,959 --> 00:10:55,760
would feed from the land he had promised
193
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:59,000
them the past was behind them it was
194
00:10:55,760 --> 00:11:00,959
time to advance it was time for battle
195
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:04,839
but before Joshua gave the order to
196
00:11:00,959 --> 00:11:08,120
March he encountered a mysterious figure
197
00:11:04,839 --> 00:11:11,560
it was night Joshua went out alone in
198
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:14,279
Silence from a hill he surveyed Jericho
199
00:11:11,560 --> 00:11:16,959
the walls Rose like sleeping Giants
200
00:11:14,279 --> 00:11:19,880
Sentinels patrolled the towers the city
201
00:11:16,959 --> 00:11:22,160
seemed impregnable Joshua frowned his
202
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:24,880
mind raced with strategies but in his
203
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:25,959
heart there were doubts could they
204
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:28,200
really take
205
00:11:25,959 --> 00:11:32,680
Jericho how could they conquer such a
206
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:37,160
city and then he saw something a few
207
00:11:32,680 --> 00:11:41,160
yards away stood a man tall clad in
208
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:42,839
gleaming armor with a drawn sword Joshua
209
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:45,000
immediately gripped his weapon he
210
00:11:42,839 --> 00:11:46,959
approached cautiously and with a firm
211
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:50,800
voice he
212
00:11:46,959 --> 00:11:53,360
demanded are you for us or for our
213
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:57,760
enemies The Stranger
214
00:11:53,360 --> 00:12:00,639
answered I am not on your side nor the
215
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:05,560
enemies I still stand with the
216
00:12:00,639 --> 00:12:09,040
Lord I am the commander of the army of
217
00:12:05,560 --> 00:12:11,839
God Joshua froze an invisible power
218
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:14,199
pressed upon him his hands trembled for
219
00:12:11,839 --> 00:12:17,440
he understood this was no ordinary
220
00:12:14,199 --> 00:12:20,480
Soldier this was a Celestial being a
221
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:22,959
messenger of God and in that moment
222
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:25,079
Joshua did the only thing he could do he
223
00:12:22,959 --> 00:12:29,480
fell to his knees and
224
00:12:25,079 --> 00:12:32,079
said my Lord what command does my God
225
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:35,079
give to his
226
00:12:32,079 --> 00:12:38,120
servant take off your sandals for the
227
00:12:35,079 --> 00:12:42,480
place where you stand is
228
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:45,440
Holy Joshua obeyed instantly Barefoot
229
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:48,800
his face bowed to the ground he listened
230
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:51,440
intently in that moment he realized this
231
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:54,760
war would not be one with swords or
232
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:57,560
human strategies the conquest of Canaan
233
00:12:54,760 --> 00:13:00,360
depended not on man's strength but on
234
00:12:57,560 --> 00:13:01,399
Divine will
235
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:04,120
rise
236
00:13:01,399 --> 00:13:06,839
Joshua the Lord has already delivered
237
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:09,800
Jericho into your hands but you will not
238
00:13:06,839 --> 00:13:11,160
take it by might or weapons you will
239
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:14,199
take it through
240
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:18,639
obedience you will March and when the
241
00:13:14,199 --> 00:13:23,760
time comes the walls will fall for this
242
00:13:18,639 --> 00:13:26,959
battle is not yours it is the
243
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:29,760
Lord's Joshua lifted his eyes but the
244
00:13:26,959 --> 00:13:32,160
commander of the Lord's army was gone
245
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:35,399
only the twinkling stars remained in the
246
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:38,079
sky the warm Desert Wind and in the
247
00:13:35,399 --> 00:13:41,079
depths of his heart a renowned
248
00:13:38,079 --> 00:13:44,240
understanding this was not his War it
249
00:13:41,079 --> 00:13:48,480
was God's war with determination and his
250
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:51,720
gaze Joshua stood and returned to camp
251
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:55,560
now he knew exactly what must be
252
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:58,040
done Joshua gathered Israel's captains
253
00:13:55,560 --> 00:14:01,000
his eyes burned with unshakable
254
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:05,279
certainty he knew the plan but when he
255
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:08,399
explained it the Warriors fell silent
256
00:14:05,279 --> 00:14:12,480
bewildered my Lord March around the city
257
00:14:08,399 --> 00:14:14,000
in silence without attacking no Spears
258
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:17,680
no battering
259
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:21,519
rams my Lord the soldiers of Jericho
260
00:14:17,680 --> 00:14:24,079
will laugh at us they'll think us
261
00:14:21,519 --> 00:14:26,880
cowards Joshua with firm and
262
00:14:24,079 --> 00:14:31,000
authoritative voice
263
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:35,120
replied this is not our our plan it is
264
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:38,160
God's we will obey and he will bring
265
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:42,519
down those
266
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:45,240
walls and so the March began at dawn the
267
00:14:42,519 --> 00:14:47,839
priests took up the Ark of the Covenant
268
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:51,199
the blast of trumpets pierced the air as
269
00:14:47,839 --> 00:14:54,240
Israel's Army Advanced toward Jericho in
270
00:14:51,199 --> 00:14:56,720
complete silence they encircled the city
271
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:59,759
from the walls the Canaanites watched
272
00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:03,120
with a mix of confusion and Dread
273
00:14:59,759 --> 00:15:06,360
some mocked others felt an inexplicable
274
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:08,920
Terror never had they seen an army act
275
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:12,320
this way not a single word left the
276
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:16,959
Israelites lips they marched one full
277
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:20,680
circuit then returned to camp for 6 days
278
00:15:16,959 --> 00:15:23,079
they repeated the ritual March silence
279
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:26,399
wait until the seventh day
280
00:15:23,079 --> 00:15:27,680
arrived the sun rose on the horizon and
281
00:15:26,399 --> 00:15:30,360
the P
282
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:33,639
prepared this time they would not March
283
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:36,079
once they would Circle seven times the
284
00:15:33,639 --> 00:15:38,920
priests blew the trumpets fiercely and
285
00:15:36,079 --> 00:15:41,440
the Ark of the covant led the procession
286
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:44,639
on the walls Jericho's soldiers no
287
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:47,519
longer Jered the silence was absolute
288
00:15:44,639 --> 00:15:49,839
broken only by the echoing chofar That
289
00:15:47,519 --> 00:15:54,240
Shook the city and when the seventh
290
00:15:49,839 --> 00:15:58,399
circuit ended Joshua gave the
291
00:15:54,240 --> 00:16:00,920
command now shout for the Lord has given
292
00:15:58,399 --> 00:16:00,920
you the
293
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:08,800
City and then Israel shouted a deafening
294
00:16:05,759 --> 00:16:11,920
Roar filled the air and in that instant
295
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:14,959
the walls of Jericho began to shake they
296
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:18,120
cracked they crumbled and within seconds
297
00:16:14,959 --> 00:16:20,680
Jericho fell its Gates burst open and
298
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:23,560
the army of Israel charged into the city
299
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:25,880
but amid judgment God remembered Mercy
300
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:29,079
for in the collapsed rubel one house
301
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:31,920
remained standing rahab's house and in
302
00:16:29,079 --> 00:16:34,959
its window hung the scarlet cord the
303
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:37,319
symbol of her faith the spies found her
304
00:16:34,959 --> 00:16:40,720
and brought her out with her family and
305
00:16:37,319 --> 00:16:43,839
so the woman once scorned by her people
306
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:47,199
became part of God's people Rahab would
307
00:16:43,839 --> 00:16:49,800
be remembered in history centuries later
308
00:16:47,199 --> 00:16:52,480
from her lineage the Messiah himself
309
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:55,519
would be born Joshua stood in the ruins
310
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:59,399
of the city Flames licked the sky
311
00:16:55,519 --> 00:17:01,639
streets lay in ashes and then Joshua
312
00:16:59,399 --> 00:17:03,750
made a declaration a warning for
313
00:17:01,639 --> 00:17:07,980
generations to
314
00:17:03,750 --> 00:17:07,980
[Music]
315
00:17:09,319 --> 00:17:17,120
come cursed be the man who rebuilds this
316
00:17:13,959 --> 00:17:20,199
city he will lay its Foundations at the
317
00:17:17,120 --> 00:17:22,799
cost of his first born and set up its
318
00:17:20,199 --> 00:17:26,199
gates at the cost of his
319
00:17:22,799 --> 00:17:29,400
youngest and so Jericho was erased from
320
00:17:26,199 --> 00:17:32,799
the map no one dared rebuild it until
321
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:35,480
centuries later when a man ignored this
322
00:17:32,799 --> 00:17:39,000
curse and paid with the lives of his
323
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:41,600
sons for what God has declared endures
324
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:44,960
forever the victory at Jericho
325
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:48,960
emboldened Israel Joshua ordered an
326
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:52,280
advance on II a small town an easy
327
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:55,720
target the spies
328
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:59,960
reported my Lord no need to send the
329
00:17:55,720 --> 00:18:02,200
whole Army a is weak three 3,000 men
330
00:17:59,960 --> 00:18:02,200
will
331
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:08,360
suffice then March and take the
332
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:11,039
city but when Israel attacked the
333
00:18:08,360 --> 00:18:12,280
Canaanites drove them back they routed
334
00:18:11,039 --> 00:18:15,000
Israel's
335
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:18,159
forces 36 men
336
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:21,559
fell the Army fled in
337
00:18:18,159 --> 00:18:23,200
chaos Joshua fell to his knees and cried
338
00:18:21,559 --> 00:18:28,600
out
339
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:34,480
Lord why have you abandoned us you gave
340
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:38,480
us us this land now our enemies destroy
341
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:41,520
us Israel has sinned someone among you
342
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:44,600
has stolen what is mine until the sin is
343
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:47,720
purged you cannot stand
344
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:51,600
Victorious God revealed the culprit a
345
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:54,679
man named aan he had taken gold and a
346
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:58,400
Babylonian robe from Jericho hidden them
347
00:18:54,679 --> 00:19:03,360
under his tent thinking no one would see
348
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:07,640
but God had seen Joshua confronted him
349
00:19:03,360 --> 00:19:11,360
aan confess before the Lord what have
350
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:15,240
you done I have sinned I saw a robe from
351
00:19:11,360 --> 00:19:18,320
Babylon silver and gold and I took them
352
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:21,240
they're buried in my tent the people
353
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:24,280
wept over their sin but God could not
354
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:28,320
allow corruption among his people aan
355
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:31,280
was executed the sin was purged and only
356
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:34,200
then could Israel press forward in
357
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:37,280
Conquest Joshua learned the lesson
358
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:40,200
Israel prevailed not by strength nor by
359
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:43,799
numbers but by obedience when they
360
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:47,240
turned from sin the Lord fought for them
361
00:19:43,799 --> 00:19:49,919
Joshua gathered his captains this time
362
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:52,679
they would not rely on their own might
363
00:19:49,919 --> 00:19:54,799
they would wait for God's strategy and
364
00:19:52,679 --> 00:19:58,480
God spoke to
365
00:19:54,799 --> 00:20:00,960
Joshua do not fear Joshua this time I
366
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:03,440
will will give you Victory set an ambush
367
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:05,919
behind the city make the enemy believe
368
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:09,080
you're fleeing and when they pursue
369
00:20:05,919 --> 00:20:09,080
strike from the
370
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:17,679
rear Joshua obeyed he divided the Army
371
00:20:14,120 --> 00:20:20,840
one force hid behind I the other marched
372
00:20:17,679 --> 00:20:24,200
to its Gates Canaanites remembering
373
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:26,600
their last Triumph laughed they assumed
374
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:30,280
Israel would flee again but when they
