Which statement is NOT a Joshua-era miracle?

• A. The sun and the moon stood still
• B. The rain stopped
• C. The walls fell down
• D. The Jordan River stopped flowing during its flood stage

Answer: (B)

In Joshua’s time, miracles were acts of God that enabled Israel to conquer and enter the land. The sun and moon standing still happened when Joshua prayed for more daylight to finish the battle, extending the day during the conquest. The walls of Jericho fell after the Israelites followed God's unusual marching plan around the city, demonstrating divine deliverance for Jericho’s defeat. The Jordan River stopping its flow occurred when the priests carrying the ark stepped into the flood stage, allowing the people to cross on dry ground. The statement about rain stopping is not from Joshua’s era; it’s linked to Elijah during a prolonged drought brought by God, not to Joshua’s miracles.
