The Walls of Jericho: Lesson Two

Faith can be found in the last place you would look.

The spies Joshua sent to Jericho lodged in the house of a harlot named Rahab.

Joshua 2:1 (KJV): And Joshua the son of Nun sent out of Shittim two men to spy secretly, saying, Go view the land, even Jericho. And they went, and came into an harlot's house, named Rahab, and lodged there.

Rahab knew the LORD had given Israel the land, and she said so.

Joshua 2:9 (KJV): And she said unto the men, I know that the LORD hath given you the land, and that your terror is fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land faint because of you.

She confessed that the LORD is God in heaven above and in earth beneath. One God over all.

Joshua 2:11 (KJV): And as soon as we had heard these things, our hearts did melt, neither did there remain any more courage in any man, because of you: for the LORD your God, he is God in heaven above, and in earth beneath.

The Bible remembers her for her faith.

Hebrews 11:31 (KJV): By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not, when she had received the spies with peace.
