THE GOLDEN AGE FOR WEEK OF JAN. 29, 1914.
THE FALL OF JERICHO
(Continued from Page 2)
And so God is ethically justified in
turning this race that He has raised
up to be the conservators of the re -
ligion of the world and of the civiliza
tion of society, in upon Canaan, that
He may, in Canaan accomplish His
desired end, for you must understand
that Canaan is the one place where
the Christian religion is to begin.
Let me pass from this phase of our
subject to the capture of the City of
Jericho, which was the key to west
ern Canaan. It was noted for its
beauty and its wealth. It was idol
atrous and corrupt. Perhaps it was
as corrupt as Sodom, yet, I repeat,
one of the most beautiful places from
the standpoint of scenery and pic
turesqueness in all that land. There,
in that rich Jordan valley, these peo
ple occupied this magnificent territory
of God, perverted it; and God tired
of it, and finally possessed the city,
fortified by soldiers and hedged about
by a huge wall.
Notice the attack. Once every day
for six days they were to march
round the city making no noise, save
the noise of seven trumpets. At the
head of the procession marched the
army of warriors of different tribes.
They marched noiselessly, as noise
lessly as men could march. And fol
lowing them were the seven trump
eters blowing rams horns, then came
the priests bearing the ark, and fol
lowing these came the rest of the
host of Israel in arms. On the sev
enth day the programme changed.
The circuit wa|s made, instead of
once, seven times, at the end of the
seventh circuit the trumpeters gave a
blast, all the people shouted and the
walls fell down. I want you to go back
and imagine, if you can, that scene.
Here is the city of Jericho. On the
Inside is wealth, luxury, beauty and
a great army. On the outside the army
of Israel with a few picked men from
the different tribes, with the seven
trumpeters blowing rams horns, and
the rest of the army of Israel trail
ing along behind, with the ark of God
in the centre, borne by the priests.
See these men walking round the
city. That is a silly way to capture
a city! Why do they do it? Be
cause God had so directed. Joshua
had been visited by the captain of
the Lord’s host and had learned from
him how this city was to be taken.
And he was carried out to the let
ter the instructions he had received
from the captain of the hosts of Is
rael.
Now, the question may come to some

of you, especially if you are teachers:
What do you think caused the city to
fall down? Was it an earthquake?
Was it a wind? Some men take a
great deal of time in arguing that
it was an earthquake. Others, equal
ly scholarly and scientific declare it
was not an earthquake but it was a
wind. And others, equally scholarly
and scientific say they do not know.
While I do not lay claim to either
scholarship or science, I am here to
say I don’t care what it was. It might
have been an earthquake, it might
have been a wind. On the other hand,
God might have breathed on it and it
fell down. God might have just spok
en and said to the wall, “You lie
down flat.” It does not make any dif
ference to me what method God used
to bring the walls of that city flat.
I know from the record, that the walls
fell down, and 1 know they fell ex
actly at the time when they blew their
trumpets and the people shouted, and
why should I spend one minute trying
to And out whether it was an earth
quake or a wind-shake when those
men who claim to know most about it
disagree. The fact is God proposed to
demonstrate to Israel that He was able
to take care of His business. He had
brought them across the Jordan, had
planted their feet at last upon Ca
naan’s soil, and He proposed to
show them at the very beginning of
their residence in that country that
He was the Captain of the host of Is
rael, and He used this miracle for the
purpose.
Now before we pass from the story
to the lesson I want to read a few
verses in First Corinthians, first
chapter, 23rd to 29.
“That no flesh should glory in His
presence!” That is the reason Jericho
fell down. God used on that occasion
the things that were not to bring to
nought the things that were. The first
lesson that I gather is his Christ is
the Captain of the Lord’s Host. It is
my judgment that that soldier that
Joshua saw on that occasion was none
other than the Lord Jesus Christ him
self. “But,” you say, “What is He
doing there with a sword in His hand?
and with a soldier’s uniform on?”
With a sword in His hand! Why, that
is exactly how He appears to me un
der circumstances like that. Listen.
Our Lord is so versatile that He al
ways adapts Himself to the circum
stances at hand. On this occasion He
adapted Himself to Joshua according
to the circumstances at hand. Joshua
is a soldier, and a child of God, and
our Lord becomes to Joshua a soldier
and talks to him about things per
taining to the army, and gives him di
rections for the attack upon Jericho,
which directions succeed. That is why
He appears with the uniform on, and
has a sword. He gets closer to Joshua
that way. He arrests Joshua’s atten
tion quicker.
Joshua sees a soldier with a sword,
and at once he says: “Art thou with
us or with our adversaries?” And he
answers, “As Captain of the Lord’s
Host am I come.” and I do not doubt
but that He saluted Joshua when He
s£id it.
