Mercy Before Judgment — Joshua 6:14–27
from Crosswalk
How long will God wait before bringing judgment? As the walls of Jericho fall in Joshua 6, Pastor Steve Winnery examines one of the Bible’s most difficult pictures of divine judgment. Long before Israel entered Canaan, God had patiently allowed time for repentance. But eventually, the time for judgment came. In the middle of Jericho’s destruction, however, Rahab and her family are rescued because she turned to the Lord in faith. Pastor Steve also explores the striking parallels between Jericho and the book of Revelation—the silence, the trumpets, and the judgment that follows. God is patient and merciful, but His patience should never be mistaken for indifference. The story of Jericho reminds us that judgment is real, repentance matters, and God is willing to save those who turn to Him.
