Jericho's walls were so strong and high, no one could conquer them. God told Joshua and the Israelites to march around the city once a day for six days without making a sound. Then on the seventh day, God told the Israelites to march around the city seven times and give a shout.

When the Egyptian army tried to go after the Israelites, the sea closed up on them. God protected his people. (Exodus 8-15)

Answer: Rome

Paul was imprisoned in Rome for trying to tell people about Christ. He wrote many letters, known as epistles, to encourage churches. These became books in the New Testament.

I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you." (Genesis 12:1-3, NIV)

In Acts 11, Paul and Barnabas were teaching and doing so many miracles, people were amazed. People started calling them Christians because they believed in Christ.

Answer: Eden

God made the garden of Eden for Adam and Eve to live in. "Then the Lord God planted a garden in Eden in the east, and there he placed the man he had made. The Lord God made all sorts of trees grow up from the ground-trees that were beautiful and that produced delicious fruit. In the middle of the garden he placed the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil." (Genesis 2:8-9, NLT)

Adam and Eve were able to name all the animals and eat from anything they desired, as long as they didn't eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. "The Lord God placed the man in the Garden of Eden to tend and watch over it. But the Lord God warned him, "You may freely eat the fruit of every tree in the garden- except the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. If you eat its fruit, you are sure to die." (Genesis 2:15-17, NLT)


Unfortunately, Adam and Eve ate of the tree they were told not to touch. "The woman was convinced. She saw that the tree was beautiful and its fruit looked delicious, and she wanted the wisdom it would give her. So she took some of the fruit and ate it. Then she gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it, too." (Genesis 3:6, NLT)

They had to leave the garden and God placed a guard to make sure they never returned.

"So the LORD God banished them from the Garden of Eden, and he sent Adam out to cultivate the ground from which he had been made. After sending them out, the Lord God stationed mighty cherubim to the east of the Garden of Eden. And he placed a flaming sword that flashed back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life" (Genesis 3:23, NLT)

God called Moses up on Mt. Sinai and gave Moses the ten commandments.

Now if you obey me fully and keep my covenant, then out of all nations you will be my treasured possession. Although the whole earth is mine, you will be for me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation."

Moses wrote the ten commandments out on stone and placed them in the ark of the covenant. They were a reminder to Israel that if they honored God, He would always be with them. (Exodus 19, 20)

Jesus was crucified in Jerusalem.

"So they took Jesus away. Carrying the cross by himself, he went to the place called Place of the Skull (in Hebrew, Golgotha). There they nailed him to the cross. Two others were crucified with him, one on either side, with Jesus between them. And Pilate posted a sign on the cross that read, 'Jesus of Nazareth,[a] the King of the Jews.'" (John 19:16-19, NLT)
