Joshua Blowing a Shofar (Horn) in Ramat Gan

Joshua blowing a shofar (horn) overlooking Ramat Gan from a hill top park - is he blowing us a modern day warning?

Israel's central zone is slowly turning from tree dark green to concrete gray. Israel is one of the first and most distinct example of green environment policy. Israel's "green line" started out as somewhat of a public relation scheme to portray the state's tree planting effort as one proof of the idealism and strong effort in turning the land to an oasis within the desert. Pictures taken from the air showed a distinct outline of the state in green while neighboring states (Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon) are left brown. The state's proponents trumpeted the success of a tree planting and agricultural production as a testament to the right to inhabit the land. But in reality the "green line" only depicted the northern third of the state. It also did not prove to Israel's detractors of any realistic "proof". Actually, the green line turned into a territoriality conundrum which over the years proved as the most politically difficult fact to resolve (see Wikipedia).


From Joshua 6:20 --  So the people shouted when the priests blew the trumpets. And it happened when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat. Then the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city.
