sacredness of life. I hate to say it but in my opinion the battle is not getting better, it is getting bitterer. Hate continues to grow. License for hate continues to be given and the walls continue to go up. Today, the charge of intolerance is a very powerful weapon in the war of values. It takes very little to substantiate and carries a heavy emotional weight. Today, personal conviction is damned if it confronts a personal choice. The battle is not getting better, its getting bitterer - and that's
collapsed” (Joshua 6:20). This is the account of Joshua and the people of Israel when they entered the Promised Land known as Canaan. As the Lord commanded they entered the land and conquered all the cities there, beginning with Jericho. The story of Joshua and the Battle of Jericho is a famous one. Everyone who has ever attended Sunday school has heard this famous Biblical account. What is overlooked in Sunday school is the passage after the walls fall down, “They devoted the city to the LORD and destroyed
crave power, yet only few know how to maintain it. In the novel, The Battle of Jericho and the films, Apocalypse Now and Citizen Kane, rank or position, pride and gender inequality promote power in lives of the protagonists and significant characters. Each element indirectly correlates with advancement of power. Rank or position plays a pivotal in the development of power role in these three forms of art. In The Battle of Jericho, the Warriors of Distinction, immediately assert themselves as the masters
Jericho Jericho is often referred to as the oldest city on earth, with a history of over ten thousand years. This ancient city is located in the region of Canaan at the lower end of the Jordan valley about eight miles north of the Dead (Salt) Sea. It lies 840 feet below sea level making it the lowest city in the world. Hunters were attracted to this location because of the abundant water sources nearby.

of Israel for invasion of Jericho under the Lord's presence and leadership. First, Joshua ordered the people who were to cross the Jordan to Jericho to prepare themselves. Then, he placed them under strict orders of obedience to his authority (1:10-18). Next, he sent out two spies to Jericho to retrieve information about the enemy. The spies went to the house of a prostitue name Rahab, as a cover for their actions. This plan did not work because the king of Jericho sent men to Rahab's house
slave in Egypt but he was selected to follow Moses as the leader of Israel. He was the man God used to fulfill His promise regarding the land of Canaan. Joshua had been Moses' Chief of Staff. He assisted him, ministered to him, and led the armies into battle. He watched and learned as God led Moses. He experienced the supernatural deliverance from Egypt; he watched while the hand of God parted the Red Sea, and he saw an entire generation of his peers die while wandering in the wilderness in judgment of
Anthropology of Farming This research plans to compare and contrast the similarities and differences in agricultural development between the Jericho Valley,in present day Palestine, and that of the Andes Mountains. There are several aspects to compare in these regions. First and perhaps most obvious is the environmental differences of these regions as well as the ecological changes in each region has itself undergone. Closely linked to these environments is the native biological species, how
He had healed him from the suffering so that he may move forward. He was known by how God used his leadership when the walls of Jericho came down.

Love in The Bible Everyone always looks at the Bible as a loving book. It is considered God’s Word. It helps us live a better life and serves as a guidebook showing us how to live on the right path. The characters in it are ones to be looked up to. Moses, Noah, Abraham, etc. were all righteous followers of God and set good examples for us even today. However, those who read deeper into the Bible will find more than just the stereotype that I have already explained. The God of the Bible has many
the land. Joshua and the new generation of Israelites had faith in God and they went into the promise land even without a battle plan. They placed faith in God before their fears and concerns. “God was telling Joshua to put Him first, and then he would be prosperous and successful” (Hindson, 77). Joshua obeyed God’s battle plan instead of being afraid and make his own battle plan. The

In the following essay we will see how Gods Plan through Joshua, Moses and Rahab brought about the victories in their lives with the Lord guiding them.

For a long time, people had been debating about Christians with War. Christians was confused with God, as they did not understand what God wills regarding war. Are Christians allowed to go to war, or should they be pacifist about it? The bible contains both stories and parables that talks about war. There are many types of Christians (different perspective). Some Christians believe in war pacifism, while some do not.

The Canaanites were a people God told the Israelites to complete destroy, but instead, they chose to dwell among them. Out of is disobedience to God they made the Canaanites slaves rather them wiping them out. This is a mistake that they would later regret. Jabin king of Canaan, that reigned in Hazor held the Israelites in painful subjection for twenty years. The Canaanites that the Israelites came into contact with during the period of the Judges were a wicked, idolatrous people. Who grow to be
The story of the exodus to Canaan, the Promised Land, ends well, but only if one includes the Book of Joshua. Tragically, the generation of Israelites that departed Egypt with Moses angered the Lord so often by their unbelief and disobedience that he consigned almost all, except for a remnant, to roaming the wilderness for 40 years until they died, never inheriting the Land. This certainly was not Moses’ fault, he provided them unique and superb leadership. Thereafter Moses appoints Joshua as leader
