NN, LM0ML n .. LESSON -1. 0. SELLERS. Director of Evening :partmient, The MoodyBibleInstitute, hicago.) LESSON FOR DECEMBER 7 THE FALL OF JERICHO. LESSON TEXT-Josh a .6:8-11 14-20. GOLDEN TEXT-"All things are pos sible to him that believeth."-Mark 9:23. There is a wonderful teaching in the story of the two memorials (Ch. 4) that Joshua erected after Israel had passed .over the Jordan. One is left to be ovirwhelmedby the river, :ile other Is erected in Gilgal. They mark the istinction between Christ's death under judgmentin the believer's place, and the believer'S perfect deliverance from judgment. See Ps. 42:7 and 88:7; Josh. 12:31-33. The stones in the Jordan stand typic ally for Ps. 22:1-18. In chapter five is the record of the *proach of unbelief, "rolled away" . 9) the cessation of the manna (v. 12) and the appearance' of.the "cap tain of. the Lord's host" (vv. 13-15) , unto Joshua as he was making a re connaissance before Jericho. I. God's Orders, vv. 1-5. The fame of the Israelites had preceded them (ch. 2:9) and that this was added too by the miraculous deliverance at the Jordan is. suggested- In verse one. Verse two suggests that again 'they must proceed upon the bare word of Jehovah, and humanly speaking, how utterly absurd appear the divine or ders. Jehovah's Word Followed. . ii. Joshui's instructions, vv. 6-8 A reading of this section reveals the fact that Jdshua diligently followed out the word of Jehovah. Preceding the people was the ark, and we need to remember what It ~contained and that it is a type of Christ. Following the armed men and the priests came the silent host (v. 10). No other sound than that of the trumpet (V. 13).. The walls of Jericho are not to fall by the use of the ordinary Imple ments of war, see 2. Cor. 10:4, and the resultant victory was in no. way to give opportunity for human boast Ing, Eph. Z:9; I Cor. 1:26-29. Joshua did not set forth a "more reasonable method;" he did not alter God's or ders- that he had no right to do, nor have we, Rev. 22:18, 19; John 3:2; Matt. 15:6. The Implements and the methods were foolish to those in Jericho and to all unbelievers, see I Cor. 1:21-25. It was the priests who led with the "jubilee trumpets," typi cal of the gospel which Paul tells is the "power of God," Roi. 1:S. Il1. The Obedient People, vv. 9-16. One great act of distrust and dis obedience led to those years of aim less wandering accompanied by dis comfort and resulting.in death to all (save two, Caleb and Joshiuaj. who crossed the Red Sea with Moses. Here we have the contrast. Seven days of patient, obedient marching, according to specific orders, Is fol lowed by victory and possessionl. What a strange sight this cavalcade must have made. The trumpet blow Ing priests; the ark, sy~bolic of Je hovah's presence and typical of 2 Christ; the silent multitude. Verily 2 this new generation Is being tested e re they enter into their promised in heritance. On the seventh day they arose earlier and were subjected to a 2 seven-fold test. Our fiercest testing Is generally just before the moment of our greatest victory. Saved by Faith. Faith used means ordered of God, 2 foolish to man, and wrought a great 2 victory. Faithful obedience .4s here j wonderfully contrasted with former : unfaithfulness. Joshua directs the i spies to ses'ch out .Rahab and she 2 and her household are saved accord tng to promise, 'vv. 22-25. She also ; was saved by faith, Heb. 11:31. and 2 became one of the line -from, which2 Christ came, Matt. 1:5. The"inly2 part of the wall that remaine&'afnd" tng was that where Rabab's house2 btood, vv. 22, see chapter 2:15.2 The teaching is very plain. As the Israelites depended wholly upon. God, were obedient to his orders, accepted his discipline, held back all passion ad covetousness, they entered~ into tefruits of a victory that made easy many subsequent ones. Their acts of faith were a more severe test than those more visible and carnal means of fighting battles. As these people of God had crossed the Jordan, submitted to the. rite of circumcision, took their first. march In this land of promise and captured this walled- city which stood .in the way of their progress, the unbelief of forty years was rebuked. This was a daj of vindication for Caleb anj Joshua, a day of proving that God was able to give victory to the people In whom he delighted. The Golden Text illustrates what It Is to believe, when we recall the story from which It Is taken-oedi ent faith in spite of appearances. No one can deny the absurdity of a peo pie walking around the walls of. a city blowing rams' horns and expect ing to possess it. Faith in both of these incidents depended upon the word of God and did the apparently foolish thing, thereby demonstrating Its wisdom. and his power. 1< Faith is revealed also as the power tc wait and to persist. Faith Is co operation with God in the accomplisk ment of hiis prrnoses. Foils A Fowl Elot.
