3. Jericho God already gave Jericho to Israel Joshua 6:1-2
March around once for six days 6:3
Seven times the seventh day 6:4
Seven priests blow seven trumpets 6:4
Nobody even speaks until the last time 6:5
Priests will make a long blast then all shout
Each goes in where he is when the walls fall
Don’t take anything out of the city 6:16-19
They did what God said, saved Rahab 6:20-25

4. Lessons from Jericho Example of grace by faith that works
6:2 I have given Jericho into your hand (grace)
Heb. 11:30 By faith the walls of Jericho fell
After they were encircled for seven days (works)
Our obedience shows faith that we do nothing to earn God’s blessing; it is His grace
Marching had nothing to do with the walls falling except God said to do it
They demonstrated it was by God’s power

5. Lessons from Jericho
God gave inheritance unconditionally Deut. 7:6-11, Rom. 11:29
But keeping inheritance is conditional Deut. 8:18-20, Rom. 11:16-24

Means of spies’ deliverance was Rahab’s deliverance (scarlet cord)
Cord out of the side of the wall was like the blood of the Passover lamb for Israel
Type of Jesus’ blood for us Eph. 1:7, Heb. 10:22
