    Shofar and Voices bring down the 'Walls of Jericho'



To begin with, we know that modern archeology has verified  Biblical accounts as true,
including the 'falling down' of the Walls of Jericho. It is not hyped up fiction but a literal fact
that the Israelites under Joshua, their commander in chief, crossed the Jordan and supernaturally
defeated the walled city of Jericho.

But how did they do it ? Well the Lord gave Joshua instructions directly, even carrying a sword upon their meeting. (Joshua 5). He
told Joshua to carry the Ark of God, preceeded by seven priests blowing 'shofars', around Jericho once each day for six days, and
then on the seventh day, circle it seven times and blow one long blast of their shofars, signaling the soldiers to shout with all their
might against the walls. This they did, and of course, thru obedience it worked and the 'Walls of Jericho' came a tumbling down.
And yet it seemed they didn't just crumble or shake themselves down but were pushed outward.

(From
http://www.answersingenesis.org/home/area/magazines/docs/v21n2_jericho.asp ) Kenyon's work was the most detailed. On
the west side of the tell, at the base of the retaining, or revetment, wall, she found, 'fallen red bricks piling nearly to the top of the
revetment. These probably  came from the wall on the summit of the bank [and/or] … the brickwork above In other words, she
found a heap of bricks from the fallen city walls! An Italian team excavating at the southern end of the mound in 1997 found exactly
the same thing.

Many web-sites miss this point as they speculate that an earthquake from the Lord shook them apart. As is the case ... following. "
What caused the strong walls of Jericho to collapse? The most likely explanation is an earthquake. But the nature of the earthquake
was unusual. It struck in such a way as to allow a portion of the city wall on the north side of the site to remain standing, while
everywhere else the wall fell." (SEE  
http://www.christiananswers.net/q-abr/abr-a011.html )

But an earthquake makes no sense whatsoever as that would shake the Lord's army as well, and his priests including His Ark,
which obviously is never going to be put on shaky ground. So how did the Lord bring down the stone walls and the brick mud walls
in the inner wall of Jericho ?

Well that's easy to answer in my opinion because the Lord of Creation and Science knew the capabilities of the 'Shofar and that of
his created beings … us humans. (SEE
Made in His Image ). There is power in sound. Right ? Right !! For consider that even the
Tibetians using a semi-circle beating drums and blowing trumpets could levitate stones away from their focal point upward to a
designated higher elevation (SEE
http://www.crystalinks.com/levitationtibet.html ). So the Children of Israel in obedience, yet
obviously not knowing the physics of sound, just obeyed and created a total circle around the Walls of Jericho and shouted with all
their might. Ha, for they were instructed by the Lord NOT to even talk for a whole week before they unleashed their voices against
Jericho. And when they did boom, the walls exploded outward from every side, and fell flat, so that their army could walk 'up' the
embankment and into the city without obstruction to total and complete victory.

Joshua  6:20 So the people shouted when the priests blew with the trumpets: and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound
of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city,
every man straight before him, and they took the city.

And like the Tibetans, the Lord's army had their trumpet called the 'Shofar'. But the 'Shofar isn't just any man-made trumpet, it was
created by the Lord via the sacred Phi template (SEE
Golden Section and your Body). It was a Ram's phi Horn that could not be
altered with internally and hence it gave an exact phi sound. t what is Phi you ask, well simply put phi is a multiplying ratio that
keeps its proportions and qualities even as it expands and magnifies, making it POWERFUL by its very essense. It is the sound of
God, (SEE
Shofar the trumpet ) which is why His people were to use the Shofar for different gatherings and purposes including the
sounding of the alarm for War. It has power !!

So at Jericho on the seventh day, the Shofars from seven priests that carried them circled the Walls, BLEW while their large army
encircled the city. And then simultaneously the men shouted, this causing sound waves to meet at the center of Jericho, and its my
belief that the simultaneous trumpet and voice waves collided in the midst of Jericho and exploded outwardly pushing Jericho's
walls outward. For this is the way modern archeologists have found these stones laying. The pressure within pushed them outward
rather than an earthquake shaking them downward and miscellaneously strewn.  But there was an exception, if you know your
Bible history, for Rahab, the righteous prostitute, was promised protection by Joshua and the Lord, and so her house on the North
side of Jericho, between the walls of the upper and lower slopes, probably in the slums of Jericho, was untouched. This
archeologists have also noted, because the north wall was intact. So all the walls of Jericho came down except on the North Wall.

For again check
http://www.answersingenesis.org/home/area/magazines/docs/v21n2_jericho.asp…
The German excavation of 1907-1909 found that on the north a short stretch of the lower city wall did not fall as everywhere else.
A portion of that mudbrick wall was still standing to a height of over two metres (eight feet).4 What is more, there were houses
built against the wall! It is quite possible that this is where Rahab's house was. Since the city wall formed the back wall of the
houses, the spies could have readily escaped. From this location on the north side of the city it was only a short distance to the
hills of the Judean wilderness where the spies hid for three days (Joshua 2:16, 22)  then their first complete circle would bring the
priests and the ARK back to the North Wall, and hence seven complete circles would do the same.  When the 7 Shofars were blown
at the Walls, surely their sound would have prevented the outward explosion of sound from the center from coming back against the
Northern Wall and towards the priests and the ARK. Why because again the Lord always protects His ARK and always keeps His
Promises in protecting his own, which meant Rahab and her family.

In my opinion. ... David Jay Jordan
