6:15 /o/
Q: Fall of Jericho, How would have
this event have been significant for
the OR?
A: First, this was the first of the
battles of the Conquest. God caused
the wall to fall down for the
Israelites. They were already on top.
People and Jericho, even, was afraid
of Yahweh. They must have felt very
powerful and would have been sure
that their God was going to come
through for them, and then He did!
The walls came tumbling down. God
made a way for the Israelites and
God defeated these people. This
would have given the OR and OA a
lot of hope in their God that they
have on their side.
TT: God is sour defender. He can
protect us. He goes before us and
fights for us.
SCR: Persecuted Christians- God
still goes before them. He fights for
them .They do not need to be afraid
of whatever happens because our
God is big enough and strong
