The Walls Do Come Down

This story emphatically illustrates that our inheritance is the gift of God. By this most dramatic example, the Lord illustrates to Israel that the conquest of Canaan is assured and that nothing will stand before them. They did not have to tear down this wall; it came down by the power of God.

They were called to obedience and trust. To stand when God said stand; to be circumcised when God said to be circumcised; to blow the trumpet when He said so; They were to be silent when He commanded silence and to shout when He said shout, no matter how childish it seemed.
