Let’s recap: The first milestone Gilgal, represents circumcision and dealing with the flesh. The second milestone Bethel, represents encountering the presence of God. Today, in episode 7, we will look at the third milestone Jericho, and ‘Tearing down Strongholds’.
Jericho was a fortress city, with high walls. It was tightly shut and very well defended. Jericho represents an area of enemy power or sin – a stronghold - that prevents the advance of the Kingdom of God – our entering the Promised Land.
