Why did God use the strategy of making the walls fall at the Battle of Jericho? Why did He have Israel march around Jericho for seven days? Some believe that it was solely to teach Israel faith and obedience. Certainly this was involved. However, there may have been another reason, one which takes into account God’s compassion for the lost. First, it is important to remember that God did not choose Israel to show favoritism or partiality. He chose Israel in order to demonstrate to all the nations His existence, His sovereignty, His righteousness and His holiness. He chose Israel to show that He was willing to save all of those, both Jew and Gentile, who would call up on Him.
