Who fought the battle of Jericho?

"Joshua fit the battle of Jericho and the walls came tumbling down." Read the text and you will see that Joshua was just the follower of God's plan for taking the walled city. After the Israelites had crossed over the Jordan and camped near Jericho, Joshua saw a man with his sword raised. He approached the man asking if he was friend or foe. The man gives a reply that he was neither but rather commander of the Lord's army. Like Moses with the burning bush Joshua fell down and was told to take off his sandals because he was on holy ground. The commander then proceeded to give Joshua the instructions he would follow to conquer the city of Jericho. Joshua then told the people to get ready and away they marched going around the city one time each day for 6 days, carrying the Ark of the Covenant and blowing their horns but otherwise remaining silent. The city was shut up tight. The residents, we are told, melted in fear. Each day the tension grew. It was certainly a psychological battle. The residents knew how God had helped the Israelites over the past 40 years, crossing the red sea and feeding them and taking care of them as they wandered on their way to the Promised Land. For 40 years they knew about this God and yet they continued to worship the moon god and only Rahab put her faith in the God of the Israelites. The 7th day started out the same way, a march around the city but then they began to circle it again and again. 7 times on the 7th day and then the people were told to shout and God did the rest. We don't know how He did it but the city walls fell that day and the fighting men of Israel went in and destroyed every living thing in the city saving only Rahab and her family. All the plunder of precious metals was to be given to the Lord. Everything else was to be burned. God showed Himself again in a mighty way to the Israelites and to the various people living in the land promised to Abraham so many years before. God was victorious on that day and to Him belonged all the glory. Joshua, like Moses before him, followed the commands of the Lord and God blessed him for it. The next battle would not be so. There was to be trouble in the camp. God still fights battles today asking us to march and follow His directions.
