Jericho

The oldest and lowest city of the world is Jericho. On entering the promise land it is written in Joshua 5:15 And the captain of the Lord’s Host said to Joshua, ‘Remove your sandals from your feet, for the place where you are standing is holy. Later the priest marched around the ancient city of Jericho 7 times blowing the trumpets. This bridal dance of 7 times around the male is still done in Jewish weddings. In Joshua 6:17 all that is in (Jericho) it belongs to the Lord. A city totally devoted to the Lord- a gift to the bridegroom. It is the point of blessing and sits in the entrance gateway at the eastern gate into the promise land.

Once called the city of God, the city of Palms, the city of the Moon, and rheah by the Arabs, means fragrance and smell of oranges. The Spirit of the Lord is moving through this gateway and releasing His presence and healing fires as He once again visits Jericho. There is the sycamore tree (only one in Jericho) where the Lord met Zaccheus and said in Luke 19.9-10 “Today salvation has come to this house, because he too, is a son of Abraham. For the Son of Man has come to seek and save that which was lost.”

The city is open for tourism, tour buses come daily. The checkpoints are open for visitors who come and go in this peaceful city. If you want to experience a move of God, visit Jericho.
