Joshua 6:1-20 -- Riding forth conquering and to conquer
1 Now the gates of Jericho were securely barred because of the Israelites. No one went out and no one came in.
Right now the world is terrified of the church, the gospel, and the Lord. They see everything that is coming true before their eyes and they know that means the day of judgement is near. Trudeau hiding in the basement when he sees the truckers is just one example, cancel culture getting smashed in their attempt to cancel Joe Rogan is another, the Olympics having horrendous is a third.
2 Then the Lord said to Joshua, “See, I have delivered Jericho into your hands, along with its king and its fighting men. 3 March around the city once with all the armed men. Do this for six days. 4 Have seven priests carry trumpets of rams’ horns in front of the ark. On the seventh day, march around the city seven times, with the priests blowing the trumpets. 5 When you hear them sound a long blast on the trumpets, have the whole army give a loud shout; then the wall of the city will collapse and the army will go up, everyone straight in.”
Yes, we can now see that they have been delivered into our hand as Durham reveals that he has evidence that Clinton was spying on Trump even after he became president. This is a fantastic plan. Try and visualize a city that has a wall all the way around it. The wall is essentially a circle. It is supported on the inside so if you try to knock it down it will stand. The design is very sturdy at repelling those who are outside trying to get in, but it is very poor at stopping those on the inside from getting out. Now imagine you are in this city, locked tight and up on the ramparts of this wall you have soldiers watching what is going on. Everyone in the city wants to know “what are they doing?” They say “nothing, just walking around”. You think “no way, they are doing something, you are missing it, if I was up there I would see”. This goes on day after day after day. Finally on the seventh day they blast the trumpets, everyone inside knows that they are definitely doing something now and all around the city the inhabitants rush up the ladders to see what is going on and oops, there is nothing to prevent the wall from falling down flat. The world is shut up in this city being told to lock down, censor the truth and they know the people telling them what to do are lying to them. Even Bill Maher the atheist knows they are being lied to. Fauci and the others are the ones on top of the wall telling everyone in the city to continue being in a lockdown indefinitely, fact checking and censoring the truth, they know it is a lie. Outside this wall there are those marching around the city proclaiming liberty, blowing the trumpet, and lifting up the Lord Jesus. What do you think is going to happen when for 2,000 years the world has been told about the Lord’s return, the rapture, and the judgement and then they see the rapture? Then they see demon possession and they see miracles, and everything they were told was a myth is being played out in front of them.
6 So Joshua son of Nun called the priests and said to them, “Take up the ark of the covenant of the Lord and have seven priests carry trumpets in front of it.” 7 And he ordered the army, “Advance! March around the city, with an armed guard going ahead of the ark of the Lord.”
Now to do this properly you have to carry the ark, and to carry that ark you must be a priest who is sanctified. There is a proper way to bear the testimony of the Lord.
8 When Joshua had spoken to the people, the seven priests carrying the seven trumpets before the Lord went forward, blowing their trumpets, and the ark of the Lord’s covenant followed them. 9 The armed guard marched ahead of the priests who blew the trumpets, and the rear guard followed the ark. All this time the trumpets were sounding. 10 But Joshua had commanded the army, “Do not give a war cry, do not raise your voices, do not say a word until the day I tell you to shout. Then shout!” 11 So he had the ark of the Lord carried around the city, circling it once. Then the army returned to camp and spent the night there.
To give a shout is to give a Teruah. These trumpets and this shout both point us to the feast of trumpets. We are proclaiming the coming of the king, we are proclaiming that the Bridegroom cometh, and we are proclaiming that it is the Day of the Lord. "All this time the trumpets were sounding". This is the last six years, this is what we have been doing, the trumpets have been sounding. Election fraud, FISA warrants, Spygate, Hunter Biden's laptop, Afghanistan, Swalwell, the border crisis, the trucker protest, Fauci, the Wuhan bioweapons lab, the Revelation 12 sign, Ezekiel 38 alliance, AI, Beast system, Social credit score, coronation of king Charles, Climate change ten commandments, etc., etc.
12 Joshua got up early the next morning and the priests took up the ark of the Lord. 13 The seven priests carrying the seven trumpets went forward, marching before the ark of the Lord and blowing the trumpets. The armed men went ahead of them and the rear guard followed the ark of the Lord, while the trumpets kept sounding. 14 So on the second day they marched around the city once and returned to the camp. They did this for six days. 15 On the seventh day, they got up at daybreak and marched around the city seven times in the same manner, except that on that day they circled the city seven times. 16 The seventh time around, when the priests sounded the trumpet blast, Joshua commanded the army, “Shout! For the Lord has given you the city! 17 The city and all that is in it are to be devoted to the Lord. Only Rahab the prostitute and all who are with her in her house shall be spared, because she hid the spies we sent. 18 But keep away from the devoted things, so that you will not bring about your own destruction by taking any of them. Otherwise you will make the camp of Israel liable to destruction and bring trouble on it. 19 All the silver and gold and the articles of bronze and iron are sacred to the Lord and must go into his treasury.”
This is quite significant because at the Lord’s return He will call His servants to make account and they will need to bring forth the talents He gave them and show what they have done with them. Nothing will be lost. Everything belongs to the Lord. If you were to steal one of the devoted things you would be stealing from God. Also note that Rahab the prostitute represents someone on the inside who helped spy out the city. Right now we have people on the inside telling us about the corruption, the sins and the crimes of the Democrats, of the Biden crime family, and of many in the deep state.
20 When the trumpets sounded, the army shouted, and at the sound of the trumpet, when the men gave a loud shout, the wall collapsed; so everyone charged straight in, and they took the city.
One translation is “they went straight up”. This is a picture of the rapture. It will be a glorious victory for the gospel. It will be our entry into the good land. It will mark the year of Jubilee where everything that was taken from us will be returned (Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob lived in the good land before going down to Egypt and becoming enslaved). It will also come like a thief in the night. When the saints are raptured Satan’s kingdom will be robbed.
