Now the gates of Jericho were tightly shut because the people were afraid of the Israelites. No one was allowed to go out or in (Joshua 6:1, New Living Translation)
Lockdowns and quarantines didn’t start today, but God has always had His way, despite them.
It’s not today that ‘the other side’ started seeing God’s people as a plague; a plague to be ‘kept out’ with tall walls; walls carefully constructed to ‘protect’ their own territory; but God still breaks iron bars and pushes down strong walls (Psalm 107:16). He even has His unlikely messenger within their sure walls (Joshua 2:15) – that is one weak point in those strong walls.
…and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat (Joshua 6:20). Amen.
