15Then on the seventh day, they got up at dawn and marched around the city seven times in the same manner. That was the only day they circled the city seven times. 16After the seventh time around, the priests blew the horns, and Joshua commanded the people, “Shout! For the LORD has given you the city!
“The command was given for the people to shout. After the days of silence, this comes as a recognition that God would now give them what He had promised. The LORD has given you the city!” (Guzik)
Shout
1 Thessalonians 2:19 For who is [the object of] our hope or joy or our victor’s wreath of triumphant celebration [when we stand] in the presence of our Lord Jesus at His coming? Is it not you?
Who doesn’t shout at a triumphant celebration? Is it not you?
Only if you put your faith and salvation in Jesus Christ! You can shout with the world or you can shout with the joy of Christ, but one thing is for certain, the people of the world will shout one last time when the pearly gates won’t open for them!
My question for you my friend is this, will it open for you and when you shout will it be because of the triumphant celebration or because of eternal anguish and separation from God?
Blessings
