They saw destruction coming they closed their gates and did nothing and were destroyed. With the exception of Rahab who believed in the power of the God of Israel, the walls of the unbelievers of Jericho were no match to God's will.
Are there those among us who are hiding in the walls of their own deceit with their doors shut to the noise of the approaching onslaught.
Are you hiding in the rocks and the mountains of the theological hierarchy who convince and even persuade you to abide just as those who practice unrighteousness? What an uncomfortable place to be when Christ returns. Christ did it all for you, right?
So, you close your doors to anything that's different, and become a closed community and you create a world walled in it's own deceit.
Cast away the old testament, and choose and pick through the new testament and then feel good that when you die in the flesh that you'r covered. Got all your bases covered, right?
Not much can be said to those hiding within their walls, because outside of faith is just stupid. There is no serious repentance, and there are no paths to follow, but the familiar crooked way of our ancestors, the windy road of good intentions. As a scripture says:
2Ti 3:7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
One can never learn if one hides in his or her little walled off world.
God does not call everyone to faith, and how does one know that calling:
Rom 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
I believe the Word of God starts at Genesis and goes through Revelation.
Hearing begins at the door.
Rev 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
It is the door of faith, and here you are to present your offering as the Jews did at their temple. What shall you bring, and if it is less than what God finds acceptable, you will never get access. This will hinder most people who are hindered by false ideas and doctrines of what is to be expected.
If you are sorrowful for your sins knowing that Christ died because of sin(including yours) and repent, then there may be an open door.
Luk 12:35 Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning;
Luk 12:36 And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately.
Luk 12:37 Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.
You don't want to be as Jericho:
Jos 6:1 Now Jericho was straitly shut up because of the children of Israel: none went out, and none came in.
The circumstances may not be favourable to multitudes, for are you surrounded by false teachers who speak and draw you into their subtle web?
God may send His messengers to help but the deceitful will do their deceitfully best to keep the gates shut to God's truth:
Isa 24:10 The city of confusion is broken down: every house is shut up, that no man may come in.
This city of confusion has turned the word of faith into delusion and shuns from the knowledge of the truth. The delusion comes because of this:
Deu 29:19 And it come to pass, when he heareth the words of this curse, that he bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, though I walk in the imagination of mine heart, to add drunkenness to thirst:
Rev 17:2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.
Isa 24:20 The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again.
Christ said this would happen to those who strayed from His teachings:
Mat 7:26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
Mat 7:27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
Faith cannot be built on any thing other than the truth. Paul gave a bleak forecast for the perseverance of faith and truth:
2Ti 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
2Ti 4:4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
Senselessness continues along with ignorance and sleeps in it's foley. It does not lift up it's head nor concede it's mistakes, but rather boast in it's own conceit, and is to proud to change.
Jer 51:9 We would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed: forsake her, and let us go every one into his own country: for her judgment reacheth unto heaven, and is lifted up even to the skies.
Jer 51:10 The LORD hath brought forth our righteousness: come, and let us declare in Zion the work of the LORD our God.
To those who are fleeing from Babylon, lift up your heads, and look up.
Psa 24:9 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.
Luk 21:28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
For sometime now, people have not been able to lift up their head.
Zec 1:18 Then lifted I up mine eyes, and saw, and behold four horns.
Zec 1:19 And I said unto the angel that talked with me, What be these? And he answered me, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.
Zec 1:20 And the LORD shewed me four carpenters.
Zec 1:21 Then said I, What come these to do? And he spake, saying, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, so that no man did lift up his head: but these are come to fray them, to cast out the horns of the Gentiles, which lifted up their horn over the land of Judah to scatter it.
Mob or crowd mentality rules the night but the Day of the Lord is coming!
