Israel is now across the Jordan River in the land that God had promised them. And though this is the land of promise, there are still many obstacles and battles before them. Their first battle was at Jericho which was a city fortified with two sets of walls 35 to 40 feet high. They faced an impossible obstacle, but God gave them the victory.

And then we come to chapter 7. They came from an amazing victory to a devastating defeat. This of course is a tragic story. Here God had brought them into a land of promise, but they must be victorious in order to have those promises.

There are a lot of lessons in this story for us. We understand that Israel entering into the land of promise is a picture of the believer who lives by faith and who lives victoriously. So here we have a picture of a setback; a defeat in the life of a believer. So it's very important that we learn these lessons and avoid defeat. But if we have experienced a defeat along the way, we must be sure to learn every possible lesson so that we can continue to grow in victory.

After Jericho they looked west and they could see that their next major obstacle would be Bethel as they headed up the West Bank of the Jordan River. But along the way was a small village called Ai. Joshua sent some men to Ai spy out the land. They came back with a report that Ai would be a minor obstacle. In fact, they would only need to send 2-3,000 men to take care of this small problem. But this small village turned out to be a great problem, but it also became for them a great lesson. Here are the reasons for their defeat.
