Summary

Jericho could not put its trust in the courage of its people to take the offensive, so it trusted in the strength of its walls to provide a sturdy defense. Even in the midst of terror, Jericho placed trust in itself, not the Lord. And so Jericho was “shut up.” It did not possess the courage to deploy an attack, but neither did it possess the humility to offer surrender. None went out from the walls to offer a treatise of peace with the armies of Yahweh. In one sense, their hearts were melted like wax with fear, but in another sense their hearts were hardened to their own destruction. So is the miserable state of all those that strengthen themselves against the hand of the Almighty.

0:52.6	This is the mentality and heart posture of every
0:57.0	unbeliever, that the unbeliever is fearful and yet at the same time arrogant. This was a posture of
1:07.2	Pharaoh. Pharaoh, there was a sense in which he wasn't just stubborn and arrogant and
1:13.4	prideful. There was also a sense in which Pharaoh was afraid. Pharaoh had seen Moses take down all of his
1:22.5	magicians. And the power of Yahweh was superior to the dark arts and power of his magicians. And for the record,
1:30.9	I don't believe that it was merely smoke and mirrors and sleight of hand. The devil is real.
1:36.8	And I believe that these magicians in Egypt were performing supernatural works by their allegiance
1:43.7	with Satan and false gods.
1:46.6	So it's not as though they were doing tricks, mere party tricks,
1:50.8	but Moses was doing signs supernaturally by God.
1:54.8	No, they were doing signs and supernatural works by the power of the devil,
1:58.7	but that the power of Yahweh was infinitely superior to the power of the devil, but that the power of Yawai was infinitely superior to the
