How did Joshua demonstrate his ability to listen to God’s instructions before the battle of Jericho?
Explanation
Before attacking Jericho, Joshua met an angel who gave him God’s unusual battle plan. Joshua spent time in prayer listening for God’s instructions.
God’s plan seemed strange: march around the city for seven days, then shout. Joshua did not rely on military strategy or human alliances but on God’s word.
Following God’s plan exactly, even when it seemed odd, brought victory without normal fighting.
