1. The fall of Jericho, which was the first major city to fall in the Promised Land, sent waves of terror through the rest of the peoples living in Canaan. The city which was one of the largest and most prosperous, as it was located not far from the Jordan River took seven days to fall. This is spectacular! and even more so in how its walls came crumbling down! The account can be found in Joshua 6.
2. The Cave at Makkedah- The place where five kings were handed over to the Israelites by the LORD. Whats more these five kings, which included the pagan Amorite king of Jerusalem, allied themselves together to crush the Israelites, but instead were annihilated almost to the man with the help of the LORD. Joshua in one and the same day had these 5 kings executed and hung till evening at this cave. The account can be found in Joshua 10.
3. Caleb, who along with Joshua, was the only other Israelite to have lived in Egypt, wander through the desert for 40 years and still enter the Promised Land. Whats amazing! at 85 years old, he was still vigorous, still able to wage war, still had his faith in the LORD, and still led campaigns against the pagans. The LORD gave him Hebron as his family's inheritance. His account can be found in Joshua 14.
