Joshua 7 reminds us that God's people do not live by momentum. Yesterday's victory cannot substitute for today's obedience. The God who fought for Israel at Jericho is the same God who allowed Israel to fail at Ai—not because He had changed, but because His people had.

The visions granted to Ezekiel now move deeper into the heart of Israel’s spiritual crisis. What began beside the river Chebar now carries the prophet into Jerusalem itself. The Lord will no longer merely announce judgment — He will reveal why judgment must come. Ezekiel is about to see what ordinary eyes could not see. He will be lifted “between the earth and the heaven” and shown the hidden sins concealed beneath outward religion.
