They marched around the city once a day for 6 days, as God instructed.
The walls still had not fallen. They took their faith in God's promise, instead of giving up and doubting God, they marched on the 7th day, 7 times! God honored their faith and destroyed the city! |

It fell because God told Joshua to do something and his army listened. It was as simple as that, obedience to God

One thing I remember hearing was that the walls didn't "fall". If they fell in, then it could be said that an earthquake, or some other force caused them to fall. But the wording said, that they were flattened. As if they were pressed down into the Earth itself.
Since I'm not a scholar and haven't spend the required time researching this, I can't at the moment verify that. But, I did find that much more spectacular to have the walls "fall down" than having the walls crumble, or "fall over". I would love to hear anyone here with some more knowledge on this since I take this statement as hearsay.

archiologists have found Jericho, and the walls around the city did indeed fall exactly as described in the Bible. The city was also not ransaked and was burned. archiologists found all of this. People need to stop trying to find natural explainations for these things and just have faith in God. after I seen an article about Jericho in Biblical archiology magazine, I thought it was amazing!! and just think, secular scholars said jericho never existed as a city........ untill they found it.
