Todo el pueblo debe soltar un gran grito de guerra (Jos. 6:5).
¿Qué sucederá con la predicación en el futuro? Encontramos un paralelo interesante en el relato del libro de Josué sobre la ocasión en que los israelitas sitiaron Jericó. Recordemos que justo antes de destruir Jericó, Dios ordenó a los israelitas que marcharan alrededor de la ciudad una vez al día durante seis días. Sin embargo, en el séptimo día hubo un importante incremento en la actividad. Jehová le dijo a Josué: “Ustedes deben marchar alrededor de la ciudad siete veces, y los sacerdotes deben tocar los cuernos. Y tiene que suceder que al hacer ellos sonar el cuerno de carnero, [...] todo el pueblo debe soltar un gran grito de guerra; y el muro de la ciudad tiene que desplomarse” (Jos. 6:2-5). Es posible que en nuestro tiempo haya un incremento semejante en la obra de predicar. Cuando llegue la destrucción de este mundo, seguramente habremos sido testigos de la mayor campaña de proclamación del nombre y el Reino de Dios que haya habido en la historia de la humanidad.

All the people should shout a great war cry.—Josh. 6:5.
What developments are yet in store for the preaching work? The siege of Jericho, recorded in the book of Joshua, provides an illustration. Recall that just before God destroyed Jericho, the Israelites were instructed to march around the city once a day for six days. On the seventh day, however, there was to be a marked increase in their activity. Jehovah told Joshua: “You should march round the city seven times and the priests should blow the horns. And it must occur that when they sound with the horn of the ram, . . . all the people should shout a great war cry; and the wall of the city must fall down flat.” (Josh. 6:2-5) It is possible that there will be a similar expansion of our preaching activity. No doubt, by the time of the destruction of the present system of things, we will have seen the greatest witness to God’s name and Kingdom in the history of this world.

Examining the Bible Scriptures Daily, Such instructions gave Jesus ‘the tongue of the taught ones’ so that he would ‘know how to answer the tired one with a word.’ (Isa. 30:20; 50:4; Matt. 11:28-30) Being awakened to timely counsel from the Word of God each morning will not only help you to cope with your own problems but also equip you with ‘the tongue of the taught ones’ to help others.”
