How does the conquest of Jericho illustrate God's sovereignty?

Answered in 1 source

The conquest of Jericho illustrates God's sovereignty as He commands the victory, demonstrating that the outcome relies solely on His will, not human ability.

In viewing the conquest of Jericho, we see God's sovereign control over the circumstances and the unfolding of His plans. God instructs Joshua that He has already given Jericho into Israel's hands, signifying the certainty of victory even before it is realized. This exemplifies the Reformed understanding of predestination, emphasizing that God's purposes are unchangeable and accomplished according to His will. The victory at Jericho was a divine act, reinforcing that human effort and strategy played no role in overcoming the city, but rather God's declared will fulfilled His promises to His people.
