"The Walls of Jericho"

  "It was by faith that the people of Israel marched around Jericho for seven days, and the walls came crashing down. It was by faith that Rahab the prostitute was not destroyed with the people in her city who refused to obey God. For she had given a friendly welcome to the spies." (Hebrews 11:30-31 NLT) 

  "Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father. And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life." (1 John 2:24-25 KJV)

 Well, as deep a subject can get, this is one that is worth digging into! One of the things I remembered from one of the early Bible Studies, back in the days of my time in jail, after I got saved, was a discussion of how the walls of Jericho came down. Me, being a new believer, didn't think it really was all that hard to accept that it was the breath of God, which was brought on by the shout of the people of Israel. 

 Regardless, God's hand was what did it, not an earthquake or storm, or any other natural force. With that, I have this other thing that is constantly being talked about, which I have settled deeply in my heart, yet constantly get in arguments over, which is the days that God created the heavens and the earth. Even just the other day, I heard someone bring up that a thousand years is a day with the Lord, as if those days of His creation were thousands of years. 

 I believe that our God is able to do anything! There is nothing that He cannot do, even if it involves make a universe in a matter of minutes, He can do it by just a Word. Besides that, my Bible says the moment God said, "Let there be Light," and the day He finished, were all done in the same year, BC4004. I don't see how thousands of years compute in that timeline; and besides that, the Bible says, "evening and morning were a day," so it sounds as if it was a 24-hour day...

 "And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day." (Genesis 1:31 KJV)
