Objective: What do history and the Bible tell us about walls in the ancient world? 

Join us as we explore two of the most famous and formidable walls in the Bible, the walls of Jericho, and Nehemiah's Wall. 

First, visit the Walls of Jericho, the oldest in the ancient world. Why did they fall before the Israelites without a battle? Were they doomed by a massive earthquake or a miracle of God? 

Next, come with us as we explore Nehemiah's Wall. Built up under threat of imminent attack, Nehemiah's Wall became one of the greatest feats of military engineering history. Nehemiah's Wall would serve to protect Jerusalem for the next four centuries, providing an era of unparalleled peace and prosperity. 

Learn why these walls were built, and find out what the scriptures tell us about 'Walls in the Bible.'
