What were the walls of Jericho made of?
Jericho is a very ancient city and it had high walls on several occasions long prior to the late bronze age, the period when the Israelite army is supposed to have caused the walls to fall. However, the city had been abandoned centuries before the time attributed to Joshua, and there were no walls for him to breach. Scholars say that at most there was just a small mud-brick village on the site of the former city. So, on the basis of archaeological evidence, it is not possible to state any dimensions for the walls during the fifteenth to thirteenth centuries BCE - the relevant period.AnswerThe city of Jericho was important enough to have two walls. The outside one was six feet thick and the inside one was twelve feet thick.
What does the Bible verse in Matthew chapter 7 verse 12 mean?
Mt:7:12: Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets. It means to do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Meaning, if you don't want people to steal from you,do not steal from them;if you do not want people to lie to you,do not lie to them;and if you do not want people to have adultery with your wife/or husband, do not have adultery with others wives/or husbands.
What is the message of the book of Revelation?
The Book of Revelation was written by the apostle John, and revealed to him by Jesus. It is a prophetic book written in signs that prophecies about events in our time, and what God will do for us in the future.Another answer:The book of Revelation is Jesus' "parable" recorded by John concerning the final phases of God's plan of Salvation and the restoration of the Kingdom of God to the earth, that, like all of Jesus' parables is intended for "public consumption"... and NOT INTENDED FOR THE MASSES TO UNDERSTAND."His disciples came and asked Him, 'Why do you always use these hard-to-understand illustrations?' Then He explained to them that only they were permitted to understand about the Kingdom of Heaven, and others were not... That is why I use these illustrations, so people will hear and see but not understand."This fulfills the prophecy of Isaiah: 'They hear, but don't understand; they look, but they don't see! For their hearts are fat and heavy, and their ears are dull, and they have closed their eyes in sleep, so they won't see and hear and understand and turn to God again, and let Me heal them.' But blessed are your eyes, for they see; and your ears, for they hear."Many a prophet and godly man has longed to see what you have seen, and hear what you have heard, but couldn't." (Matt.13:10-17 LVB Living Bible)The book of Revelation "completes" the Bible... and closes it out in keeping with Jesus' public approach to God's Truth -- as a MEANING-HIDING PARABLE that's intended ONLY for the present understanding of His "ekklesia" [His "church," His "elect," His "predestined"... His "called-out-ones"] whom God has been calling out of the world [sanctifying] for His Holy Purpose.The book of Revelation is ABOUT the "end time events [the fulfillment of the final phases of God's plan] that shall overtake the world, that shall result in the RETURN OF JESUS CHRIST, with the ultimate elimination of sin and death, and the establishment of His Kingdom on earth"... and ends with the mention of a taste of what comes after: a "New Beginning" for God's brand new IMMORTAL FAMILY!"...'See, I AM making all things new!' And then He said, 'Write this down, for what I tell you is Trustworthy and True: IT IS FINISHED! ...Everyone who conquers WILL INHERIT ALL THESE BLESSINGS, and I will be his God and HE WILL BE MY SON." (Rev.21:5-7 LVB)Revelation is ABOUT "the time of the end of God's plan" when Jesus Christ will finally be revealed as EARTH'S ALL-POWERFUL RULING KING! Which is the question Jesus' disciples asked Him about in Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21:"...the disciples asked Him later... What events will signal your return [your 'presence'... when will you REVEAL YOURSELF AND YOUR KINGDOM to the world], and the end of the world [and the END OF THE PRESENT AGE]?" (Matt.24:3 LVB)Although Revelation is ABOUT "the answer to that question"... IT'S STILL A PARABLE! So, those who are "Christ's disciples"... His "servants"... those who "want to know what the parable of the Revelation [the revealing] of these symbolic end time events mean"... have to go to Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21 for Jesus' "private" explanation of them TO HIS DISCIPLES:"Then, leaving the crowds outside, He went into the [His] house. His disciples[there in Jesus' house... IN PRIVATE, away from the crowds] ASKED HIM TO EXPLAIN TO THEM THE ILLUSTRATION [parable] of the thistles and the wheat." (Matt.13:36 LVB)The book of Revelation is a "parable for the public's consumption" [that the general public is not meant to understand] ABOUT the PRIVATE answer Jesus gave to His disciples with no crowds around, regarding the very same global end time events about which His disciples inquired. Jesus clearly explains the symbols of the "parable of Revelation" to His servants in Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21. These three private, intimate accounts... and the Revelation parable all follow the same "chronology" or "order of occurrence."Revelation is basically broken down into "THREE SETS OF SEVENS." Seven Seals, Seven Trumpets [wind-blown plagues] and Seven Vials [the last of God's plagues poured out on the earth prior to His final descent onto the earth].SIX of the Seven Seals are all opened in Revelation's 6th chapter. Which devotes the remainder of Revelation's 22 chapters to the SEVENTH SEAL [the DAY OF THE LORD; the Day Jesus Christ returns]. This Seventh Seal is composed of the Seven Trumpets..."...I saw the seven angels that stand before God, and they were given Seven Trumpets..." (Rev.8:2 LVB)....and the Seventh Trumpet [still part of the Seventh Seal] becomes the Seven Vial plagues of God's WRATH POURED OUT."...a mighty voice shouting from the Temple to the seven angels, 'Now go your ways and empty out the Seven Flasks [vials] OF THE WRATH OF GOD upon the earth.'" (Rev.16:1 LVB)The book of Revelation is ABOUT the final global events in God's plan that result in the return of Jesus Christ to the earth. Jesus is prophesied to RETURN at the LAST TRUMP... or at the sounding of the SEVENTH TRUMPET... the time when He sends His angels to gather His servants into the clouds with Him; off of the earth, just before the final seven vial plagues of the last of God's wrath are "poured out."According to the chronology... before the advent of the Seven wind-blown Trumpet plagues... God's servants are still on the earth and are SEALED [by God's Holy Spirit] and under His Divine protection:"...I saw four angels... holding back the four winds from BLOWING upon the earth... And I saw another angel... carrying the Seal of the Living God. And he shouted out to those four angels who had been given power to injure land and sea, 'WAIT! Don't hurt the land or the sea or the trees until we have placed THE SEAL OF GOD [II Cor.1:22 & Eph.1:13] on the foreheads of His servants." (Rev.7:1-3 NLT New Living Translation)Bible prophecy tells us that Jesus Christ returns to gather His servants unto Himself AT THE LAST TRUMPET. Which means that they REMAIN ON THE EARTH during the entire Great Tribulation, which is when the Seven Trumpet plagues are released by the Two Witnesses for three-and-a-half years [see Rev.11]. It's at the time of the sounding of the Seventh Trumpet that God's servants LEAVE THE EARTH for a short time with Christ in the clouds, until the Seven Vial plagues occur."...just then the SEVENTH [and last] angel blew his Trumpet, and there were loud voices shouting down from heaven, 'The Kingdom of this world NOW BELONGS TO OUR LORD, and to His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever." (Rev.11:15 LVB)The parable symbols of the book of Revelation are explained and understood by Christ's servants within other prophetic passages of the Bible, that reveal the Truth of God to their hearts and minds [see Isa.66:2]. The Spirit of Christ throughout the Bible; even in the book of Revelation, speaks to His servants:"...An angel was sent to God's servant John so that John could share the revelation with God's OTHER SERVANTS..." (Rev.1:1 NLT).But to those who are NOT Christ's [the vast majority of the masses, crowds and general public that aren't Sealed with the Truth of the Holy Spirit]... they cannot know what the parable of the book of Revelation is ABOUT -- yet.
What are some Bible verses about non believers?
WHEN Jehovah( God) speaks, those who are wise listen with great respect and respond to his words. Everything that Jehovah says is for our benefit, and he is keenly interested in our welfare. For example, how heartwarming it is to consider the way Jehovah addressed his ancient covenant people: "O if only you would actually pay attention to my commandments!" (Isaiah 48:18) The proven value of God's teachings should move us to listen to him and follow his guidance. The record of fulfilled prophecy dispels any doubt about Jehovah's determination to fulfill his promises. There is another vital principle that people must bear in mind regarding Jehovah's saving deeds. The righteously inclined may suffer because of their sins, but they will not be destroyed. It is different, though, for the unrighteous. "'There isno peace,' Jehovahhas said, 'forthe wicked ones.'"(Isaiah 48:22) Unrepentant sinners will not receive the peace that God has reserved for those who love him. Acts of salvation are not intended for the stubbornly wicked or the unbelieving. Such acts are only for those who have faith. Titus 1:15, 16; states: "All things are clean to clean [persons]. But to [persons] defiled and faithless nothing is clean, but both their minds and their consciences are defiled. 16 They publicly declare they know God, but they disown him by their works, because they are detestable and disobedient and not approved for good work of any sort". Revelation 22:14, 15 assures us peace from God is not the possession of the wicked. " Happy are those who wash their robes, that the authority [to go] to the trees of life may be theirs and that they may gain entrance into the city by its gates. 15 Outside are the dogs and those who practice spiritism and the fornicators and the murderers and the idolaters and everyone liking and carrying on a lie.""He has told you, O earthling man, what is good. And what is Jehovah asking back from you but to exercise justice and to love kindness and to be modest in walking with your God?" - MICAH 6:8. Of course, not just anybody can walk with Jehovah. This privilege is reserved for those who 'have met him by appointment,' so to speak. (Amos 3:3) How so? By having made an unreserved dedication to Jehovah and symbolized this by water baptism. So, what does Micah 6:8 mean for these individuals? To begin with, there is the requirement to "exercise justice." To "exercise justice" basically means to do what is right, what is required of us by God. This means that we must fulfill our obligations, the chief one being to give Jehovah exclusive devotion. Jehovah does not want and will not use as his fellow workers any individuals who are wicked. This is made clear at Psalm 50:16-18, where we read: "But to the wicked one God will have to say: 'What right do you have to enumerate my regulations, and that you may bear my covenant in your mouth? Why, you-you have hated discipline, and you keep throwing my words behind you. Whenever you saw a thief, you were even pleased with him; and your sharing was with adulterers.' How the lot of the wicked differs from that of the righteous! Wicked ones may appear to prosper materially for a time, but they are not prospering spiritually. This is evident from the psalmist's further words: "The wicked are not like that, but are like the chaff that the wind drives away. That is why the wicked ones will not stand up in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of righteous ones." (Psalm 1:4, 5) Note that the psalmist says, "the wicked are not like that." He means that they are not like godly people. The wicked are not "rich toward God." Hence, they have no more security and stability than does chaff, the thin covering on kernels of grain. After grain was harvested in ancient times, it was taken to a threshing floor, a flat area generally on high ground. There sledges with sharp stone or iron teeth on their underside were pulled over the grain by animals to break the stalks into pieces and loosen the kernels from the chaff. Next, a winnowing shovel was used to pick up the whole mixture and toss it into the air against the wind. (Isaiah 30:24) The kernels fell back onto the threshing floor, while the breeze carried the straw off to the side and blew the chaff away. (Ruth 3:2) After the grain was passed through a sieve to remove pebbles and the like, it was ready for storage or grinding. (Luke 22:31) But the chaff was gone. Just as the kernels of grain dropped to the ground and were preserved while the chaff was blown away, so the righteous will remain and the wicked will be removed. Surely, though, we are happy that such evildoers will soon be gone forever. With them out of the way, people who take delight in Jehovah's law will be greatly blessed. Indeed, obedient humans will eventually receive God's gift of everlasting life. "And just a little while longer, and the wicked one will be no more; And you will certainly give attention to his place, and he will not be.... Psalm 37:10

Which Biblical instrument was reported to have brought down the walls of Jericho?
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. While God commanded Joshua to use the trumpets, they were not what brought down the walls of Jericho--GOD DID in accord with His divine purpose and will and in response to the people's obedience.

How was the battle of Jericho won?
The biblical Battle of Jericho is narrated in Joshua chapter 6. According to this account, all the men of war marched around the city walls each day for six days, with the priests blowing trumpets and making a great din. On the seventh day, Joshua told the people to shout when the priests blew the trumpets. At that, the walls fell down and the Israelites were able to capture the city and kill all its inhabitants. Against this, archaeologists say that there was no city of Jericho at this time. Historians say that the story was probably an elaboration of a real siege that occurred much earlier against the city of Megiddo. In that siege, the king's army marched around the walls of Megiddo making as much noise as possible, day after day. When the defendants tired of following their attackers around the walls, the army suddenly attacked, breached the walls and entered the city unopposed.
