which Israel compassed the city, following the Ark in solemn silence, we recall this
emphatic testimony of Scripture (Hebrews 11:30):
"By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were compassed about seven days."
In this instance also, as just before the Lord cleft the Red Sea, and again afterwards,
when in answer to Jehoshaphat's prayer God destroyed the heathen combination against
His people, the Divine call to them was, "Stand ye still" (in expectant faith) "and see the
salvation of Jehovah" (Exodus 14:13, 2 Chronicles 20:17). And so it ever is to His
believing people in similar circumstances.
