The Walls of Jericho: Lesson Ten

God keeps His word to the one who believes.

When the city fell, Joshua sent the two spies to bring Rahab out, just as they had sworn to her.

Joshua 6:22 (KJV): But Joshua had said unto the two men that had spied out the country, Go into the harlot's house, and bring out thence the woman, and all that she hath, as ye sware unto her.

They brought out Rahab and her whole family.

Joshua 6:23 (KJV): And the young men that were spies went in, and brought Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and all that she had; and they brought out all her kindred, and left them without the camp of Israel.

Rahab was saved alive, and she dwelt in Israel.

Joshua 6:25 (KJV): And Joshua saved Rahab the harlot alive, and her father's household, and all that she had; and she dwelleth in Israel even unto this day; because she hid the messengers, which Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.

The harlot of Jericho is named in the family line of Jesus Christ.

Matthew 1:5 (KJV): And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse;

You may have been far off, but in Christ Jesus you are made nigh by the blood of Christ.

Ephesians 2:13 (KJV): But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
