> When Joshua was near the town of Jericho, he looked up and saw a man standing in front of him with sword in hand. Joshua went up to him and demanded, "Are you friend or foe?" "Neither one," he replied. "I am the commander of the Lord 's army." At this, Joshua fell with his face to the ground in reverence. "I am at your command," Joshua said. "What do you want your servant to do?" The commander of the Lord 's army replied, "Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy." And Joshua did as he was told. (Joshua 5:13-15 NLT)

> We talk about spiritual warfare going on, and the spiritual world, but there is no place in the bible that speaks about this clearer than Joshua 5. Here the commander of the Israeli army meets with the commander of God's army, and discusses a battle plan. This is actually the only place in the bible that this happens. God is going to fight this battle for Israel, and all the have to do is walk and shout. Imagine for a second, from the perspective of the people of Jericho. "why are they doing laps around out city? Are they trying to show us all of their weakness? Now we know who there leaders are, and we can attack them!" And then on the final day, Israel ends with a shout, and the angel armies knock the walls down. And everyone in the city is a sitting duck. No wall to protect them, nothing to hide behind. God's army won the battle for them, all they had to do was clean up. The hardest part of any siege of fortress is breaching the defenses. God's army did that for them.
