Joshua and the Battle of Jericho - Beginners Bible

do you know how the world began how God created it by hand from mighty mountains to the raging sea to any every single tree just talking up and take a look is the story oh you know you the twelve tribes of Israel were led out of Egypt by Moses God had promised them a home of their own a land called Canaan but once they got there many Israelites were afraid of the armies of Canaan they didn't trust God to help them win their battles they wanted to go back to Egypt where they had been slaves God decided that since they didn't trust him they couldn't enter the Promised Land and he had them wander the deserts for forty years after 40 years God led the children of the 12 tribes back to the promised land but instead of it being a time of joy the Israelites were full of sadness their leader Moses had died so they didn't have anyone to lead them to their new home boys behave yourselves today we are remembering Moses Joshua who helped Moses for those 40 years was remembering the great leader in his own special way come to cheer me up turnip what will happen to our people now that Moses is gone who will guide us to the promised land why not use Joshua Ternan you you you've talked it's me Joshua God I've chosen you Joshua to lead the Israelites into the Promised Land no I can't you help Moses but he was a great leader I'm just an ordinary man a simple servant don't be afraid there is greatness in every man who has faith Joshua God where is the land you promised us look west what do you see the desert floor and the Jordan River beyond that foothills and green the Promised Land take your people Joshua but I can't lead them I'm frightened yes you will face many dangers but be strong remember I will never leave you because Joshua loved God and obeyed his rules God protected him God's rules known as the Ten Commandments were written on stone tablets inside the Holy Ark the rivers very Swift crossing won't be easy oh this is foolish hmm following Joshua's if you were Moses are you coming around come let's see what will happen how about there Joshua I'll see how deep it is do you think you can cross that little one come on it's just a little water who are you go away I am Joshua leader of the Israelites God has promised us this land hahaha did he well I'm the king of Jericho and you can't enter we are protected by the Swift River and the strongest wall in the world if you can cross this river you better be prepared for a fight our God protects us as he protected Moses our leader yes I've heard that your God parted the Red Sea but he has no power here stay away from Jericho or my army will destroy you what do we do Joshua have faith and cross the river when God tells us to you heard Joshua let's tell the others I'm worried about this k of Jericho he's like the waters of this river dangerous Joshua yes God don't be afraid of the king if you trust me I will protect you Joshua did trust in God he selected two men to sneak into Jericho and tell him about the king's army one two three soldiers now that third one is tiny I'll only count him as half a soldier a rom we're spies that means we have to be quiet but quiet right my oking I'm only a harmless traveling merchant liar you're a stranger in Jericho so I say you're a spy hey he can't do that more spies Israelite spies that's being quiet and snap-snap the spies 10c Israelites they must be here somewhere what do this way hurry my name's Rahab I want to help this way under here quickly open your doors by order of the king out of my way the Israelite spies did you see them they were here but they ran toward the city gates if you hurry you might still catch them the king will be very unhappy if you let him get away Rahab told the Israelites it was safe to come out of their hiding place that was a very brave thing you did why did you risk your life for us to strangers everyone in Jericho knows the Israelites are coming to our land we've heard that your God rules the heavens above and the earth below he's so powerful he parted the Red Sea for Moses now our men are afraid to fight you go hide in the hills for three days then you'll be safe god bless you Rahab you're very kind wait I showed kindness to you when your people attack the city please spare my family and me we promised Rahab leave this red rope hanging from your window it will be a sign that no one in this house is to be harmed Joshua spies did his Rahab had said after hiding in the mountains for three days they ran back to camp with their report that's what Rhea have told us Joshua everyone in Jericho is afraid of us we can defeat this king of Jericho I'm not so sure Aram he had a lot of soldiers ah they were all small let's pray to God and thank him he is done as he said the promised land is ours the next day the 12 tribes marched towards Canaan but as God had told Joshua entering their new homeland wasn't going to be easy how can we cross this river safely please God give me an answer the waters too fast how will we get our children and animals across don't be afraid God has shown me away bring out the Ark of the Covenant Joshua directed the priests to carry the ark into the river and hold it there the Israelites were confused what did Joshua have in mind this can't be safe Joshua doesn't know what he's doing behold the power of God as the crowd watched a miracle happened the priests held up the art and God held back the waters it's just like when Moses parted the Red Sea it's true then God must be with Joshua as he was with Moses the Israelites faith in Joshua grew and grew for now they knew he followed in the footsteps of Moses Joshua choose 12 men one from each tribe tell them to get 12 rocks from the middle of the river from where the priest stood carry the rocks and put them down where you stay tonight in the future your children will ask what do these rocks me and you will say the water stopped flowing when the Ark of the Covenant with God crossed the river these rocks will always remind the Israelites of this one evening Joshua was walking near Jericho I followed God's commands without question I've tried to be a good leader but I'm not a soldier how can I fight the king of Jericho in his army Joshua God how shall the enemy be defeated you won't need swords or armor Joshua just have faith in me to defeat the king an army of Jericho here's what you must do early the next day Joshua formed the Israelites into a long line remember do was God instructed not a word not a sound from any of you first came seven priests playing ram's horns then the Ark of the Covenant then the armed men they marched one time around the great city hmmm this is not fighting hahaha this is a parade well I I guess we won when do we attack the city Joshua we don't tomorrow we march around it again and just like today everyone must be quiet no shouts of war the only sounds can come from the ram's horns so the Israelites marched once around Jericho every day for six days and for six days nothing happened you Israelites are fools and the biggest fool is your leader Joshua on the morning of the seventh day Joshua's people were Restless Joshua I you do not know what you are doing our people are tired of marching in circles we need a soldier for a leader yes let's fight you're right I'm not a soldier but I do have faith in God he didn't let Moses down and he won't let us down so long as we trust in him this is the seventh and last day who will come with me I will all of us tell everyone we will March and March they did but instead of going around the city just once as they had done for six full days Joshua said that God wanted them to march seven times and on the seventh time around they did something completely different Shelton yo scream so that the heavens can hear you shout for God has given us Jericho for 40 years we wandered through the deserts and hoping we could find God's promised land and now it's here before us behind a fortress tall but it will not be ours until we bring down the wall bring down the walls of Jericho bring down the walls lift your horns and blow city to the ground will see the promised land when walls come down we believe in God that he is with us here his power is much greater than that Arni over there our enemies are laughing but their kingdoms you will fall when we raise our voices we will pray bring down the walls Oh Jericho bring down the world lift your horn shall we the city to the ground will see the promised land was so shout out loud shout out strong that wall around we'll keep some alone sing to God whatever and we were promised it's right behind those walking down the wall lift your heart with their voices a few ram's horns and their faith in God the Israelites captured Jericho Joshua these are the people who helped us Rahab her mother and father you're a brave woman Rahab God has watched over you and your family because of your faith and for helping my people can we stay and join you Joshua nothing would make me happier yet oh don't touch me as realized how dare you treat me this way white I'm I'm the king you were the king when I said God promised us this land you laughed and call me a fool who's the fool now you can't know has anyone seen Turner for you perfect my friends our days of wandering are over we're home after Jericho was captured the Israelites kept moving and claimed more and more new land their wandering days were over all because Joshua and the Israelites had faith in God
