#The Vessel of The Moon | Jericho

[shxdesofchaos]

"I'm tougher than I look."

What was with other mobians and deciding that, somehow, because Shadow was strong and durable, they were just as strong and durable?

"There's no need to push yourself." Shadow muttered to the goat mobian. Sure, he could sense there was power there. He wasn't stupid in that respect by any means. But power did not equate to Shadow's absurd levels of durability granted by his unique DNA.

Shadow lightly indicated the fact that Jericho's body was, well, despite his statement — shaking.

"You're shaking. Obviously, you got hit harder than you think. Sit." Shadow grumbled, already glad he had now taken up bringing a first aid kit with him via his own hammerspace and pulling it out to address the other's injuries.

This is for anyone who wants to make/find any Sherbverse, Fable SMP, Bound SMP and Mer SMP roleplay accounts! …Queue56 character rp accounts too

The characters who have more than one account will also be added

I will put the Sherbversions in their specific world too, but both but Midas and Charles will be only on the sherbverse list

The list will go alphabetically (hopefully)

Tell me if I missed any and if new ones are made!

Not that I’ve seen any, but I should have said this before. Do not, and I mean do not make an rp account of anyone who stated that they aren’t okay with them.

Titles: Things Too Fierce To Mention, Close To Shore, Chasing the Moon, Into The Haze.

Things Too Fierce To Mention

Dr Simon Lambert is a research scientist stationed in the arctic and for the protection of the team they have been allocated the prototype RK900, designed for tundra warfare. Not that there’s much war going on. Just long stretches of sunless days and the quiet yet reassuring presence of the tall android by his side. (100k slowburn for SURE)

Close To Shore

Based on THIS adorable concept; Simon picks up a beautiful grey fur coat off the floor from where it’d fallen from the back of a chair and gives it back to the handsome stranger with the startling bright eyes. Ronan is his name, and it means ‘little seal’. The son of a selkie. (cute one-shot)

Chasing the Moon

An expansion of the beginning of [ch3 of Werifesteria]; Jericho is a space exploratory vessel helmed by Commander Manfred. Simon is the ship’s synthetic caretaker, but Markus is so sure he’s more human than android. (multi-chaptered sci fi epic)

Into The Haze

An anti-android terrorist group commits arson on android shelters. Lots of action, joint task force with the Android Crimes Division and SWAT unit 32. High tension when one of their own is suspected of giving intel to the terrorist group, and mounting pressure from Jericho to solve the case since so many lives are at stake. (multi-chaptered SWATverse epic)

Deathwatch Campaign - but it’s Wrath and Glory #1

So it’s well past the time when I should sleep anyway but the upstairs neighbours decided to be loud, hence I decided to finally start making my own posts on this blog, for the whole 2 or something people following me. And what else could I post about than my 40k RPG campaign and my experience with Wrath and Glory?

For context: my player group and I have been playing 40k RPGs for nearly 4 years now. The main campaign was Black Crusade, and I occasionally GM’d a few sessions of Deathwatch when our main GM was too busy or when he needed a break. Recently - with Wrath and Glory coming out - I decided to make a soft reboot of the campaign, with the players forming a new killteam, years after the events pertaining to their first characters. 

HOWEVER, since the two campaigns are linked thematically and in their content, I will use the first few posts to summarise the events of the very first kill-team, dubbed Hyperion. Later, I will switch to the current campaign with the Wrath and Glory system, and make roughly weekly updates of the campaign once I have caught up to the current day.

Killteam Hyperion was made up of six members: Tactical Marine Jarl Tyr of the Space Wolves, Apothecary Hales of the Hammers of Dorn, Assault Marine Venaraptus of the Flesh Tearers, Librarian Seraphiel of the Exorcists, Devastator Kadai of the Salamanders, and finally Techmarine Gregorius of the Imperial Fists.

During the closing days of the M41 - before the return of the hallowed Primarch Guilliman - Killteam Hyperion’s first mission was to travel to a long abandoned Watch-Station to retrieve any Marines stationed and any valuable artefacts stored therein. The Station, which had been mostly used as a surveillance based in the Jericho Reach, was running the risk of being discovered by other Imperial forces as the Achilus Crusade made its way through the sector, and the Deathwatch did not want to jeopardise its contents

To reach their destination, the Kill-Team had to travel aboard the ship of Inquisitor Karl-Gustav, a known Puritan and critic of the Adeptus Astartes. After a rather unpleasant journey during which they were barely tolerated by both the Inquisitor and his crew, they landed on the ice-encased moon of a dead world.

There, they found the Deathwatch station, embedded in the glaciers. They also found that all Marines stationed there had died long ago defending it from encroaching Chaos warbands, except for a lonely dreadnought calling himself Brother Skold.

The battle-brothers relieved tired, old Skold from his duty and retrieved a single artefact from the Watch-station’s vaults: a single artefact, a giant soulstone containing numerous souls of dead Eldar, called the Last Memory of Yrnathos.

Having gotten what they came for, Killteam Hyperion returned to the Inquisitor’s ship. They had barely boarded it however, that the forces of Chaos boarded their vessel, drawn like moths to the flame by the now unchained psychic treasure they held.

In the long, drawn-out battle that ensued, the Imperial forces gained the assistance of a group of Aeldari, under the condition that the lost souls of their brethren be returned to them. Begrudgingly, the Marines accepted this offer and with the help of the Xenos, they were able to repel the Heretic assaulting them.

During the fight, some important things happened: the ship’s main armoury blew up. Inquisitor Karl-Gustav was saved numerous times by the Killteam. The Aeldari got their artefact back. And lastly, the Marines failed to slay a Heretek by the name of Merliok, who teleported away after betraying the warband’s leader.

The fighting done, the Astartes returned to Watch-Fortress Erioch, where they were chastised for having lost the artefact, but praised for saving the Inquisitor and brother Skold while still somewhat making the best out of a bad Situation.

As they finished their debrief, the Omega-Vault, held within the depths of the Watch-Fortress, began to open, and out of its depths, the Players retrieved a lead lever with a white knob, bearing a single Orkish rune on it...

So yeah, that was the very first mission of the first Deathwatch kill-team. Next up will be their mission to destroy a new menace in the Jericho Reach: An Ork construct of colossal size, dubbed “Da Planit Krakker”.

An Ixalan Tale

And also a little Jericho the windweaver stuff. 

A seagull’s caw was cut short by a snap of serpentine coatl fangs. Jericho snickered. The coatls were gentle around The Tempest Raptor. Perhaps the air currents that Jericho used to navigate the ship, made the coatls passive. Two of them followed the ship, eating the seabirds that were attracted by the occasional scraps that were dumped from the ship. Jericho stretched his wings and soared with them. Diving in and out of the current, they played a game with him. The blue finned one twirled around, snapping at the red finned coatl. They twirled around Jericho, neither taking a bite at him. He saw the Captain come onto the deck. Jericho ducked down and landed on the navigation deck.

The Captain was an odd one. He dressed in different armor than anyone Jericho had met before. But he had an odd way of being somewhat charismatic. And he didn’t care for vampires, which was a plus in Jericho’s eyes. Jericho became a pirate because the Legion of Dusk attacked, sacked, and left broken and barren his hometown. Jericho didn’t have anything left there, so he took to the sky. He liked feeling the warm sea air beneath his wings. He ended up doing odd jobs for people, mostly running messages due to his knowledge of the currents, until this new captain appeared in one of the taverns of High and Dry.

Many dismissed him, solely on account of his looks, but they were made to understand his strength. A tavern brawl ended very badly for the aggressors. Jericho offered his navigation services after that. He thought it better to be on as many powerful people’s good sides as possible. The crew was assembled, it was a diverse group to say the least. Jericho did not recognize any of them. The Captain was a human, but he was definitely not from Ixalan. One of the muscles was a larger man, if you could use the term man. He turned wolfish during the moon cycles. Despite his aggressive look, he was pretty tame however. The engineer was another human. He was eccentric to say the least.

The day Jericho met the engineer he accidently shocked himself and passed out. He recovered later that evening. The ship itself was a magnificent sight. The engineer worked hard to fix it up, or at least that’s what Jericho guessed. The rest of the crew seemed nonnative as well. He had trouble guessing their intentions, but work was work. And the Captain was fair. Jericho liked having a purpose. And perhaps this ship will take him to where he felt like he could fly higher than before.

“Everything alright, Captain?” Jericho asked, folding his feathers behind him.

“Do you see that ship, Jericho?” The Captain pointed towards the port side.

               There was a ship about five nautical miles away. Its eerily pale sails identified it as a Legion ship. Jericho scowled. The Tempest Raptor was slightly smaller than the other vessel. It would be significantly faster, but the Captain added more cannons. It was still faster, but the way the winds were blowing would make it more difficult to evade, should they choose to flee the Legion.

               Jericho knew better than to entertain that idea. The odds did not matter to the Captain, much anyway. The wolfish brute could handle most of the legionnaires. The engineer was able to man the cannons, he had odd machinations to aid him. They were like living things, but they didn’t eat. Jericho avoided them. Jericho or the Captain would have to rouse the engineer from his tinkering however. He was working on some sort of spark cannon. Jericho did not really understand it. He figured it was somewhat like what the Sun Empire Solar Priests channeled. They channeled the fire of the sun, and the engineer harnessed lightning.

               Jericho remained still, awaiting the inevitable order to move towards the Legion galleon. The Captain paused not in hesitation, but in planning. The plan took seconds to come to fruition. His plans were hasty at times. But his confidence could carry battles.

“Jericho steer the ship towards the Legion. Seamus get ready, we may need you for the boarding party. I am going to get someone on our cannons.” The Captain ordered.

               Jericho silently accepted the orders, grabbing the wheel. The Captain favored the broadside. He maneuvered the Tempest Raptor towards the appropriate position. The Legion was not backing down. Jericho wondered what was going through their heads. They would not expect the lightning wielding Captain, or the wild fury of the wolfman. And as always Jericho would hamper their evasion. Once in position he had permission to fly up and use his magic.

               He would shift the winds. If the Legion’s helmsman tried to steer away from the cannon barrage, then Jericho would guide the winds to hinder their course. Jericho was not much of a fighter, but this he could do. His swordplay was mediocre, and his aim was awful. He was not hired for his muscle. His tricks and nautical knowledge was sufficient.

               Once in range the cannons from either ship pounded the air with noise. The engineer also had his little contraptions flittering about diligently to repair hull damage. The Captain signaled Seamus. The wolfman bounded from the navigation deck, pouncing upon a legionnaire who was a little too close to the edge. It couldn’t even scream. The Captain covered the wolfman, being careful not to shoot his large furry friend. He yelled to remind him later that we would need more crossbows next time.

               The galleon began to sink. Its hull was peppered with holes. Jericho swooped to the collapsing deck. The wolfman would not have the height advantage to leap up. This was not the first time he had to lift the larger man. And each time he would be sore later. Jericho gently ordered the winds to help him back to the deck of the Tempest Raptor. Flying himself over was a simple task, flying a wolfman with him was another story.

“We successfully downed their ship.” Jericho panted.

“We didn’t get much out of it though.” The engineer said.

“Hmm, we are going to need to either recruit a merfolk, or you are going to have to make something that can get us down there.” The Captain said to the engineer. “Sinking ships is fun and all, but if we don’t get anything off of it, its wasting our supplies.”

“Continue as planned?” Jericho asked. 

“Stay the course.” The Captain replied.

The problem? He isn’t as prepared as he thinks he is.

Out in the jungles of the Amazon, Kaiden meets a new set of nightmares, and death there is permanent.

Even with all his previous training in the Animus, will Kaiden survive?

Charm School Outcasts – Jamie Hawke

I wasn’t always this adorable, badass superhero you see before you.

Well, I was, but there was a shady side to me, a part of my past I don’t like to talk about.

And that’s what led me to Supralines, the best superhero school in the Oram galaxy.

What follows is a bit of insanity, a bit of love, and a bit of self-discovery. Join me, and I promise you won’t regret it!

“What can I say that has not been said? Interweaving novels, building new worlds, creating characters with amazing skills…Jamie makes it seem like a walk in the park. If you have not yet read a Jamie Hawke work, this is a good start.”–Amazon Reader Review

Desolation (Legend of the Galactic Heroes #8) – Yoshiki Tanaka

After utterly defeating the Free Planets Alliance, Kaiser Reinhard has brought 99 percent of inhabited space under his control.

Still, dissatisfaction and unease coil within his breast, for the galaxy’s last remaining sliver of free territory is defended by none other than Yang Wen-li.

Seeking decisive battle, the Imperial Navy moves to attack Iserlohn Fortress, but due to Yang’s unexpected plan, the battle has already begun before Reinhard arrives.

The Yang Fleet must overcome an enormous difference in force strength—while at the same time, a trap laid by the Church of Terra is closing in around Yang…

Krox Rises (The Magitech Chronicles #5) – Chris Fox 

The Godswar Has Come Again.

Nebiat has seized godhood, and now controls Krox, the most powerful elder god in the sector. Both Ternus and Shaya know she is coming, but their preparations cannot save them. She launches a strike at Ternus that cripples their home world, and shatters their fleets.

Voria desperately struggles to find a way to raise Shaya, or to rise as a goddess herself. She will do anything to oppose Nebiat, but fears it will not be enough.

Aran must confront the awful truth about the Skull of Xal, and make a deal with demons in order to gain the strength they so desperately need to overcome Krox.

And Nara must face the most awful choice of all. Will she murder the woman she most respects, or let the sector burn?

Lasso (Deep Space Mining Series #1) – Mike Coville 

Captain Greg Daniels of the DSM Boone is a handful of asteroids away from retiring when his plans are threatened by an explosion on his ship. With the risk of another more lethal attack, Greg must locate the source of the explosion or he’ll lose more than the priceless rock he just obtained – he’ll lose his life.

On the Lunar Community, Final Frontier Mining Director David Rivera has his sights set on become Prime Minister of the ISC. His hopes rest on ace miner, Daniels, bringing in the most profitable asteroid in the company’s history to keep himself in the spotlight. But when he discovers a conspiracy to destroy his company and put a stop to his political aspirations, David must hunt down his mysterious hacker while trying to save Greg, DSM Boone, and the asteroid it has secured.

One man fights for survival in deep space, another on the moon, but is there someone else pulling the strings of both? Only if they can work together, will they find the answers they need to survive.

Skywave (The Rorschach Explorer Missions #1) – K. Patrick Donoghue 

No one knows what to make of the mysterious clicks.

To Ajay Joshi, the amateur astronomer who discovered the strange sounds with his radio telescope, the clicks represent proof of aliens on Callisto, a moon of Jupiter, a theory dismissed as quackery by space agency radio experts. They contend the clicks are nothing more than terrestrial interference, so-called skywaves, or similar electromagnetic interference emanating from Jupiter or Callisto.

To Dr. Kiera Walsh, an aerospace engineer introduced to Ajay and his findings, the consistent, repetitive pattern of the clicks points to the possibility of a lost Martian probe caught in Callisto s orbit. She shares this view with her employer, billionaire and space exploration privateer, Augustus Amato, and is surprised to learn Amato disagrees with her conclusion. He believes the clicks herald something more ominous orbiting Callisto.

Compelled to learn the true source of the clicks, Amato launches a fleet of experimental probes to investigate the Jovian moon. A mission that produces a string of startling discoveries, revelations that shake the space exploration establishment to its core and spark a controversial race to preserve the discoveries before they are destroyed or suppressed.

A Star-Wheeled Sky – Brad R. Torgersen

Over a millennium in the past, humans fleeing Earth in slower-than-light vessels discovered the Waywork, an abandoned alien superhighway system that allows instantaneous travel from star to star. The problem: there are a finite number of Waypoint nodes—and the burgeoning population of humans is hemmed in as a result. Furthermore, humanity is divided into contending Starstates. One of the strongest is based on an oligarchy ruling families, but still mostly democratic. The other is a totalitarian nightmare. War seems inevitable.

Now a new Waypoint appears. Might it lead to the long-lost creators of the Waywork? If so, there may be knowledge and technology that will tip the balance in the coming war.

Three people race to make it to the new Waypoint—and beyond. These include Wyodreth Antagean, the reluctant son of an interstellar shipping magnate, Lady Garsina Oswight, the daring daughter of a royal family, and Zuri Mikton, a disgraced flag officer seeking redemption. They are facing an implacable foe in Golsubril Vex, a merciless, but highly effective, autocrat from the Waywork’s most brutal regime. Vex is determined to control the new Waypoint and whatever revelation or power lies on the other side.

Now humanity’s fate—to live in freedom or endless dictatorship—depends on just what that revelation might be. And who gets there first.

Starship Pandora: A Star Force Audio Drama – written by B. V. Larson

B. V. Larson returns to the world of his Audible best-selling Star Force series for the first time in three years with this original, full-cast audio drama.

The mysterious alien race known as the Ancients vanished before Earth’s last ice age – but not before building interconnected rings that form a highway system across the galaxy. Humanity has used these rings for years but has never figured out how to build its own, or even how to alter the connection pattern.

Now, the Imperial starship Pandora is on a mission to discover and explore new interstellar connection points. While on Venus, an unexpected guest arrives – Marvin, a rogue robot who puts his strange mind to work on reconnecting the rings into a new pattern. And everything goes haywire. Grotesque aliens come through the ring and overrun Pandora’s base camp. The good news is the aliens can be killed. The bad news is the aliens keep coming, and no one knows how to turn off the ring that leads directly to their home world.

And even if the aliens are defeated – there’s still Marvin to contend with.

Patriarchs and Prophets, pp. 487-498: Chapter (45) The Fall of Jericho

This chapter is based on Joshua 5:13-15; 6; 7.

The Hebrews had entered Canaan, but they had not subdued it; and to human appearance the struggle to gain possession of the land must be long and difficult. It was inhabited by a powerful race, who stood ready to oppose the invasion of their territory. The various tribes were bound together by the fear of a common danger. Their horses and iron battle chariots, their knowledge of the country, and their training in war, would give them great advantage. Furthermore, the country was guarded by fortresses—“cities great and fenced up to heaven.” Deuteronomy 9:1. Only in the assurance of a strength not their own could the Israelites hope for success in the impending conflict.

One of the strongest fortresses in the land—the large and wealthy city of Jericho—lay just before them, but a little distance from their camp at Gilgal. On the border of a fertile plain abounding with the rich and varied productions of the tropics, its palaces and temples the abode of luxury and vice, this proud city, behind its massive battlements, offered defiance to the God of Israel. Jericho was one of the principal seats of idol worship, being especially devoted to Ashtaroth, the goddess of the moon. Here centered all that was vilest and most degrading in the religion of the Canaanites. The people of Israel, in whose minds were fresh the fearful results of their sin at Beth-peor, could look upon this heathen city only with disgust and horror.

To reduce Jericho was seen by Joshua to be the first step in the conquest of Canaan. But first of all he sought an assurance of divine guidance, and it was granted him. Withdrawing from the encampment to meditate and to pray that the God of Israel would go before His people, he beheld an armed warrior, of lofty stature and commanding presence, “with his sword drawn in his hand.” To Joshua's challenge, “Art thou for us, or for our adversaries?” the answer was given, “As Captain of the host of the Lord am I now come.” The same command given to Moses in Horeb, “Loose thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest is holy,” revealed the true character of the mysterious stranger. It was Christ, the Exalted One, who stood before the leader of Israel. Awe-stricken, Joshua fell upon his face and worshiped, and heard the assurance, “I have given into thine hand Jericho, and the king thereof, and the mighty men of valor,” and he received instruction for the capture of the city.

In obedience to the divine command Joshua marshaled the armies of Israel. No assault was to be made. They were simply to make the circuit of the city, bearing the ark of God and blowing upon trumpets. First came the warriors, a body of chosen men, not now to conquer by their own skill and prowess, but by obedience to the directions given them from God. Seven priests with trumpets followed. Then the ark of God, surrounded by a halo of divine glory, was borne by priests clad in the dress denoting their sacred office. The army of Israel followed, each tribe under its standard. Such was the procession that compassed the doomed city. No sound was heard but the tread of that mighty host and the solemn peal of the trumpets, echoing among the hills and resounding through the streets of Jericho. The circuit completed, the army returned in silence to their tents, and the ark was restored to its place in the tabernacle.

With wonder and alarm the watchmen of the city marked every move, and reported to those in authority. They knew not the meaning of all this display; but when they beheld that mighty host marching around their city once each day, with the sacred ark and the attendant priests, the mystery of the scene struck terror to the hearts of priest and people. Again they would inspect their strong defenses, feeling certain they could successfully resist the most powerful attack. Many ridiculed the thought that any harm could come to them through these singular demonstrations. Others were awed as they beheld the procession that each day wound about the city. They remembered that the Red Sea had once parted before this people, and that a passage had just been opened for them through the river Jordan. They knew not what further wonders God might work for them.

For six days the host of Israel made the circuit of the city. The seventh day came, and with the first dawn of light, Joshua marshaled the armies of the Lord. Now they were directed to march seven times around Jericho, and at a mighty peal from the trumpets to shout with a loud voice, for God had given them the city.

The vast army marched solemnly around the devoted walls. All was silent, save the measured tread of many feet, and the occasional sound of the trumpet, breaking the stillness of the early morning. The massive walls of solid stone seemed to defy the siege of men. The watchers on the walls looked on with rising fear, as, the first circuit ended, there followed a second, then a third, a fourth, a fifth, a sixth. What could be the object of these mysterious movements? What mighty event was impending? They had not long to wait. As the seventh circuit was completed, the long procession paused, The trumpets, which for an interval had been silent, now broke forth in a blast that shook the very earth. The walls of solid stone, with their massive towers and battlements, tottered and heaved from their foundations, and with a crash fell in ruin to the earth. The inhabitants of Jericho were paralyzed with terror, and the hosts of Israel marched in and took possession of the city.

The Israelites had not gained the victory by their own power; the conquest had been wholly the Lord's; and as the first fruits of the land, the city, with all that it contained, was to be devoted as a sacrifice to God. It was to be impressed upon Israel that in the conquest of Canaan they were not to fight for themselves, but simply as instruments to execute the will of God; not to seek for riches or self-exaltation, but the glory of Jehovah their King. Before the capture the command had been given, “The city shall be accursed, even it, and all that are therein.” “Keep yourselves from the accursed thing, lest ye make yourselves accursed ... and make the camp of Israel a curse, and trouble it.”

All the inhabitants of the city, with every living thing that it contained, “both man and woman, young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass,” were put to the sword. Only faithful Rahab, with her household, was spared, in fulfillment of the promise of the spies. The city itself was burned; its palaces and temples, its magnificent dwellings with all their luxurious appointments, the rich draperies and the costly garments, were given to the flames. That which could not be destroyed by fire, “the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of brass and of iron,” was to be devoted to the service of the tabernacle. The very site of the city was accursed; Jericho was never to be rebuilt as a stronghold; judgments were threatened upon anyone who should presume to restore the walls that divine power had cast down. The solemn declaration was made in the presence of all Israel, “Cursed be the man before the Lord, that riseth up and buildeth this city Jericho: he shall lay the foundation thereof in his first-born, and in his youngest son shall he set up the gates of it.”

The utter destruction of the people of Jericho was but a fulfillment of the commands previously given through Moses concerning the inhabitants of Canaan: “Thou shalt smite them, and utterly destroy them.” Deuteronomy 7:2. “Of the cities of these people, ... thou shalt save alive nothing that breatheth.” Deuteronomy 20:16. To many these commands seem to be contrary to the spirit of love and mercy enjoined in other portions of the Bible, but they were in truth the dictates of infinite wisdom and goodness. God was about to establish Israel in Canaan, to develop among them a nation and government that should be a manifestation of His kingdom upon the earth. They were not only to be inheritors of the true religion, but to disseminate its principles throughout the world. The Canaanites had abandoned themselves to the foulest and most debasing heathenism, and it was necessary that the land should be cleared of what would so surely prevent the fulfillment of God's gracious purposes.

The inhabitants of Canaan had been granted ample opportunity for repentance. Forty years before, the opening of the Red Sea and the judgments upon Egypt had testified to the supreme power of the God of Israel. And now the overthrow of the kings of Midian, of Gilead and Bashan, had further shown that Jehovah was above all gods. The holiness of His character and His abhorrence of impurity had been evinced in the judgments visited upon Israel for their participation in the abominable rites of Baalpeor. All these events were known to the inhabitants of Jericho, and there were many who shared Rahab's conviction, though they refused to obey it, that Jehovah, the God of Israel, “is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath.” Like the men before the Flood, the Canaanites lived only to blaspheme Heaven and defile the earth. And both love and justice demanded the prompt execution of these rebels against God and foes to man.

How easily the armies of heaven brought down the walls of Jericho, that proud city whose bulwarks, forty years before, had struck terror to the unbelieving spies! The Mighty One of Israel had said, “I have given into thine hand Jericho.” Against that word human strength was powerless.

“By faith the walls of Jericho fell down.” Hebrews 11:30. The Captain of the Lord's host communicated only with Joshua; He did not reveal Himself to all the congregation, and it rested with them to believe or doubt the words of Joshua, to obey the commands given by him in the name of the Lord, or to deny his authority. They could not see the host of angels who attended them under the leadership of the Son of God. They might have reasoned: “What unmeaning movements are these, and how ridiculous the performance of marching daily around the walls of the city, blowing trumpets of rams’ horns. This can have no effect upon those towering fortifications.” But the very plan of continuing this ceremony through so long a time prior to the final overthrow of the walls afforded opportunity for the development of faith among the Israelites. It was to be impressed upon their minds that their strength was not in the wisdom of man, nor in his might, but only in the God of their salvation. They were thus to become accustomed to relying wholly upon their divine Leader.

God will do great things for those who trust in Him. The reason why His professed people have no greater strength is that they trust so much to their own wisdom, and do not give the Lord an opportunity to reveal His power in their behalf. He will help His believing children in every emergency if they will place their entire confidence in Him and faithfully obey Him.

Soon after the fall of Jericho, Joshua determined to attack Ai, a small town among the ravines a few miles to the west of the Jordan Valley. Spies sent to this place brought back the report that the inhabitants were but few, and that only a small force would be needed to overthrow it.

The great victory that God had gained for them had made the Israelites self-confident. Because He had promised them the land of Canaan they felt secure, and failed to realize that divine help alone could give them success. Even Joshua laid his plans for the conquest of Ai without seeking counsel from God.

The Israelites had begun to exalt their own strength and to look with contempt upon their foes. An easy victory was expected, and three thousand men were thought sufficient to take he place. These rushed to the attack without the assurance that God would be with them. They advanced nearly to the gate of the city, only to encounter the most determined resistance. Panic-stricken at the numbers and thorough preparation of their enemies, they fled in confusion down the steep descent. The Canaanites were in hot pursuit; “they chased them from before the gate, ... and smote them in the going down.” Though the loss was small as to numbers—but thirty-six men being slain—the defeat was disheartening to the whole congregation. “The hearts of the people melted, and became as water.” This was the first time they had met the Canaanites in actual battle, and if put to flight before the defenders of this little town, what would be the result in the greater conflicts before them? Joshua looked upon their ill success as an expression of God's displeasure, and in distress and apprehension he “rent his clothes, and fell to the earth upon his face before the ark of the Lord until the eventide, he and the elders of Israel, and put dust upon their heads.”

“Alas, O Lord God,” he cried, “wherefore hast Thou at all brought this people over Jordan, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us? ... O Lord, what shall I say, when Israel turneth their backs before their enemies! For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land shall hear of it, and shall environ us round, and cut off our name from the earth: and what wilt Thou do unto Thy great name?”

The answer from Jehovah was, “Get thee up; wherefore liest thou thus upon thy face? Israel hath ... transgressed My covenant which I commanded them.” It was a time for prompt and decided action, and not for despair and lamentation. There was secret sin in the camp, and it must be searched out and put away before the presence and blessing of the Lord could be with His people. “Neither will I be with you any more, except ye destroy the accursed from among you.”

God's command had been disregarded by one of those appointed to execute His judgments. And the nation was held accountable for the guilt of the transgressor: “They have even taken of the accursed thing, and have also stolen, and dissembled also.” Instruction was given to Joshua for the discovery and punishment of the criminal. The lot was to be employed for the detection of the guilty. The sinner was not directly pointed out, the matter being left in doubt for a time, that the people might feel their responsibility for the sins existing among them, and thus be led to searching of heart and humiliation before God.

Early in the morning, Joshua gathered the people together by their tribes, and the solemn and impressive ceremony began. Step by step the investigation went on. Closer and still closer came the fearful test. First the tribe, then the family, then the household, then the man was taken, and Achan the son of Carmi, of the tribe of Judah, was pointed out by the finger of God as the troubler of Israel.

To establish his guilt beyond all question, leaving no ground for the charge that he had been unjustly condemned, Joshua solemnly adjured Achan to acknowledge the truth. The wretched man made full confession of his crime: “Indeed I have sinned against the Lord God of Israel.... When I saw among the spoils a goodly Babylonish garment, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold of fifty shekel's weight, then I coveted them, and took them; and, behold, they are hid in the earth in the midst of my tent.” Messengers were immediately dispatched to the tent, where they removed the earth at the place specified, and “behold, it was hid in his tent, and the silver under it. And they took them out of the midst of the tent, and brought them unto Joshua, ... and laid them out before the Lord.”

Sentence was pronounced and immediately executed. “Why hast thou troubled us?” said Joshua, “the Lord shall trouble thee this day.” As the people had been held responsible for Achan's sin, and had suffered from its consequences, they were, through their representatives, to take part in its punishment. “All Israel stoned him with stones.”

Then there was raised over him a great pile of stones—a witness to the sin and its punishment. “Wherefore the name of that place was called, The valley of Achor,” that is, “trouble.” In the book of Chronicles his memorial is written—“Achar, the troubler of Israel.” 1 Chronicles 2:7.

Achan's sin was committed in defiance of the most direct and solemn warnings and the most mighty manifestations of God's power. “Keep yourselves from the accursed thing, lest ye make yourselves accursed,” had been the proclamation to all Israel. The command was given immediately after the miraculous passage of the Jordan, and the recognition of God's covenant by the circumcision of the people—after the observance of the Passover, and the appearance of the Angel of the covenant, the Captain of the Lord's host. It had been followed by the overthrow of Jericho, giving evidence of the destruction which will surely overtake all transgressors of God's law. The fact that divine power alone had given the victory to Israel, that they had not come into possession of Jericho by their own strength, gave solemn weight to the command prohibiting them from partaking of the spoils. God, by the might of His own word, had overthrown this stronghold; the conquest was His, and to Him alone the city with all that it contained was to be devoted.

Of the millions of Israel there was but one man who, in that solemn hour of triumph and of judgment, had dared to transgress the command of God. Achan's covetousness was excited by the sight of that costly robe of Shinar; even when it had brought him face to face with death he called it “a goodly Babylonish garment.” One sin had led to another, and he appropriated the gold and silver devoted to the treasury of the Lord—he robbed God of the first fruits of the land of Canaan.

The deadly sin that led to Achan's ruin had its root in covetousness, of all sins one of the most common and the most lightly regarded. While other offenses meet with detection and punishment, how rarely does the violation of the tenth commandment so much as call forth censure. The enormity of this sin, and its terrible results, are the lessons of Achan's history.

Covetousness is an evil of gradual development. Achan had cherished greed of gain until it became a habit, binding him in fetters well-nigh impossible to break. While fostering this evil, he would have been filled with horror at the thought of bringing disaster upon Israel; but his perceptions were deadened by sin, and when temptation came, he fell an easy prey.

Are not similar sins still committed, in the face of warnings as solemn and explicit? We are as directly forbidden to indulge covetousness as was Achan to appropriate the spoils of Jericho. God has declared it to be idolatry. We are warned, “Ye cannot serve God and mammon.” Matthew 6:24. “Take heed, and beware of covetousness.” Luke 12:15. “Let it not be once named among you.”Ephesians 5:3. We have before us the fearful doom of Achan, of Judas, of Ananias and Sapphira. Back of all these we have that of Lucifer, the “son of the morning,” who, coveting a higher state, forfeited forever the brightness and bliss of heaven. And yet, notwithstanding all these warnings, covetousness abounds.

Everywhere its slimy track is seen. It creates discontent and dissension in families; it excites envy and hatred in the poor against the rich; it prompts the grinding oppression of the rich toward the poor. And this evil exists not in the world alone, but in the church. How common even here to find selfishness, avarice, overreaching, neglect of charities, and robbery of God “in tithes and offerings.” Among church members “in good and regular standing” there are, alas! many Achans. Many a man comes statedly to church, and sits at the table of the Lord, while among his possessions are hidden unlawful gains, the things that God has cursed. For a goodly Babylonish garment, multitudes sacrifice the approval of conscience and their hope of heaven. Multitudes barter their integrity, and their capabilities for usefulness, for a bag of silver shekels. The cries of the suffering poor are unheeded; the gospel light is hindered in its course; the scorn of worldlings is kindled by practices that give the lie to the Christian profession; and yet the covetous professor continues to heap up treasures. “Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed Me” (Malachi 3:8), saith the Lord.

Achan's sin brought disaster upon the whole nation. For one man's sin the displeasure of God will rest upon His church till the transgression is searched out and put away. The influence most to be feared by the church is not that of open opposers, infidels, and blasphemers, but of inconsistent professors of Christ. These are the ones that keep back the blessing of the God of Israel and bring weakness upon His people.

When the church is in difficulty, when coldness and spiritual declension exist, giving occasion for the enemies of God to triumph, then, instead of folding their hands and lamenting their unhappy state, let its members inquire if there is not an Achan in the camp. With humiliation and searching of heart, let each seek to discover the hidden sins that shut out God's presence.

Achan acknowledged his guilt, but when it was too late for the confession to benefit himself. He had seen the armies of Israel return from Ai defeated and disheartened; yet he did not come forward and confess his sin. He had seen Joshua and the elders of Israel bowed to the earth in grief too great for words. Had he then made confession, he would have given some proof of true penitence; but he still kept silence. He had listened to the proclamation that a great crime had been committed, and had even heard its character definitely stated. But his lips were sealed. Then came the solemn investigation. How his soul thrilled with terror as he saw his tribe pointed out, then his family and his household! But still he uttered no confession, until the finger of God was placed upon him. Then, when his sin could no longer be concealed, he admitted the truth. How often are similar confessions made. There is a vast difference between admitting facts after they have been proved and confessing sins known only to ourselves and to God. Achan would not have confessed had he not hoped by so doing to avert the consequences of his crime. But his confession only served to show that his punishment was just. There was no genuine repentance for sin, no contrition, no change of purpose, no abhorrence of evil.

So confessions will be made by the guilty when they stand before the bar of God, after every case has been decided for life or death. The consequences to result to himself will draw from each an acknowledgment of his sin. It will be forced from the soul by an awful sense of condemnation and a fearful looking for of judgment. But such confessions cannot save the sinner.

So long as they can conceal their transgressions from their fellow men, many, like Achan, feel secure, and flatter themselves that God will not be strict to mark iniquity. All too late their sins will find them out in that day when they shall not be purged with sacrifice or offering forever. When the records of heaven shall be opened, the Judge will not in words declare to man his guilt, but will cast one penetrating, convicting glance, and every deed, every transaction of life, will be vividly impressed upon the memory of the wrongdoer. The person will not, as in Joshua's day, need to be hunted out from tribe to family, but his own lips will confess his shame. The sins hidden from the knowledge of men will then be proclaimed to the whole world.

Echoes of the past :]

his first memory was of her.

he was slimy, cold and shaking as the delicate membrane of his cocoon finally split, allowing him to take his first breath. his tiny lungs, molded from rocks and dust, burned despite the chill of the empty void of space.

then the warmth came, her long claws wrapping around his small body and hoisting him up into the air like he was something delicate- glass that could shatter at the harshest touch. her eyes, all three of them, analyzed him, turning him this way and that.

he bleated weakly, kicking his little legs. she was so warm. it felt so nice, and he wanted nothing more than to get closer, to curl up against her chest and savor the beat of her everlasting heart. the heart she had shared to make him whole. to make him what he was now.

it was all...instinct, this knowledge of why he was.

another bleat, reaching for her face with his small hands. she jerked her head away, dropping him down onto the moon's silver dusted surface. "don't touch me." she hissed. this time, it was her tail that snuck around, pincers gripping him by the scruff of the neck so that they were once again eye to eye.

"i am your creator. i am your master." she had said cooly. "you are my vessel, endowed with my gifts so that you may be useful to aid in regaining what i have lost."

he blinked, horizontal pupils expanding. she had created him. she was asking such a great thing of him....

she was his mother?

"and you shall henceforth be known as jerico, a child of the moon."

jericho. he was...jericho.

yes! jericho would make mother proud!

and maybe she would let him feel that warmth again....
