The Spies Report to Joshua

Leaving Rahab, the spies made their way safely out through the gate of the city, and made their way to the mountain where they hid themselves until it was safe to continue with their return journey home. Arriving home, they reported to Joshua and told him that the Lord had been good to them, and in fact had delivered into their hands all the land; for all the inhabitants of the land were in fear of them. So Joshua early the next morning moved the company of the children of Israel from where they were encamped near the Jordan and lodged there preparatory to crossing over. And after three days, the officers went through the hosts and told the people that when they see the covenant of the ark of their God and the priests the Levites bearing it, then they should remove from their lodgings and follow after it; but not to get closer than two thousand cubits of it, and certainly not to pass it, because they did not know the way, and must be led by the ark of the covenant of the Lord.  

Stand in the Holy Place

Stand in the Holy Place
More than ever, I am convinced that we are in the last days. The best date available by the most meticulous calculation of the date of Jesus’ death on the cross is April 3, A.D.33, which means that the year 2033 would make approximately 2000 since Jesus left us saying “a little while and I will return.”  Looking back at the Old Testament, I see approximately 6000 years from Adam’s creation to the time Jesus came, and that 6000 years was broken up into 3 distinct periods of 2000 years each.  I do not know when Jesus will return; but I do know that He said certain ominous world signs would precede His coming. (See Matthew 24) When I see the state of the world, when I hear the blasphemy on Radio and Television and elsewhere, I cannot but wonder how much longer the Lord will allow it to go on? To me the world today seems to be much worse than it was immediately before the God of Heaven destroyed the Old World, and still much worse than it was in Sodom and Gomorrah. Ultimately, all I can say to all those who look forward to His coming is, “Stand in the Holy Place.”

The Spies Escaped.

Having made their promise to Rahab, the two spies escaped under cover of darkness, Rahab having let them down by a cord through her window which was close to the town’s wall. Rahab was not only trustworthy, but a good ally to have, since she not only hid them and helped them to escape, but  she also advised them of the best route to take, directing them to avoid capture by escaping through the mountain, where she old them to hide themselves three days until the searchers got tired and give up. The spies thanked her and promised to be faithful to their promises to her, and gave her a scarlet thread to display in the very window through which she had helped them to escape, and advised her to take her father and her siblings to her house and protect them there, and keep them inside the house and caution them not to go outside of the house once the invasion started; assuring her that they will be protected as long as they remained in her house. The men also advised her not to speak about their discussion with anyone, reminding her that if she blabbed, or did not do according as they had advised her and any harm befell her or her family, then their hands would be innocent of their blood

Rahab’s Intuition

Strange as it may seem, unless one includes in the equation God’s mighty foreknowledge and power, the woman Rahab, the harlot, knew who the spies were, knew their mission, and knew also that their mission would be successful; for she told them, “I know that the Lord has given you the land, that your terror is fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land fear you. For we have heard how the Lord dried up the water of the Red Sea for you when you came out of Egypt, and what he did to the two kings of the Amorites who were on the other side of the Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom you utterly destroyed.  And as soon as we had heed these things our hearts did melt, neither was there any courage remain in any man because of you; for the Lord is God in heaven above and in the earth beneath. Now, therefore, I pray you, swear unto me by the Lord since I have shown you kindness you will also show kindness unto my father’s house and give me a true token, so that my father’s household will be saved from death when you destroy the rest of my people. And the men answered and promised her that her name would be mentioned both in their report, and also before the Lord; and that Rahab and her father’s household would be spared.
