The scene of Joshua 6:21 — the city dedicated to the Lord, everything consecrated — confronts us with the seriousness of the kingdom of God: victory and possession intertwine with full consecration. Nothing in this narrative is casual; the city was not merely taken, but dedicated, showing that when the Lord enters as commander, what belongs to Him is radically separated from what belongs to the world. For the believer, this is a summons: the victory we await in our spiritual struggles passes through the full consecration of who we are and of what we have to the Lord.
