In Joshua 2: 1 Here they call Rahab a harlot! Was she a harlot or was she a business woman? Because in Joshua 2:6 it says she hid them in stalks of flax she had laid in order upon the foof of her house.So if she had flax stacked on her roof she must have been a business woman of fine linen.Was she stereotyped? Because of this?
: God can use anybody and anything to achieve His purpose, even a harlot. Even in our lives, all walls of Jericho can be demolished through the Mighty Hand of God through ways we cannot fathom. Stay at the centre of His Will and he will work miracles in your life. Praise Jesus.

Rahab in a church today; I was a 'Rahab', and several others in our church - and all the other saints love us and we all pray for each other and NO ONE'S past is EVER mentioned. It's just like the code of the old west - no one is asked of one's past. Just a few of us know of a very few's past. There are certain saints we feel comfortable in that way with; we help each other with our testimonies.
I've read this ch. many times, but just this time took notice of v. 10; Rahab says 'they' (her family) remember the Red Sea event. This had to have been told to Rahab as a child; she would be too old at this time to be in this 'lifestyle' still - or maybe not .....? Just as in Deut. God tells His people to read and talk of His word always, the Gentiles keep these stories alive.
Tammy: So true! I have experienced very great kindness from the Lord, and from many of His servants and handmaids, along the way. But sometimes I've seen so much condescending and arrogance too. Jesus felt compassion for the crowds; and so should we, for the same reasons. When they were not able to receive the straight teaching; then He used parables, to reach them on a level they could relate to.
I think this particular passage serves as a great reminder for us all, we must be also mindful of the saving power of kindness. I acknowledge that Jesus is the only way that mankind can obtain eternal life, but there are moments in times when the Father will remember our sacrifices or ministries of help to bless our love ones. The power of kindness. How would Rehab be viewed in a church of today?
The presence of the Lord is with them.Jericho have heard about the great things that God has done for Israel.reading this chapter confirms that the presence of the Lord is with us when we have faith in what God will do. Amen
Rahab believed in Almighty God and acknowledged his great and mighty works. She dealt kindly and truly with the spies Joshua set. God blesses us all in many ways. God is awesome. He blesses the good as well as the bad.
Its always good to secure God s presence in our life cos Is the God of heaven the earth meaning when God be with us who can b against us even those that ought to hurt us halleluhai
The Lord is his own interpreter, he can use an empty vessel to perform wonders, even the sinners can have the mercy of the Lord, because he doesn�t want anyone to perish but repent.
I love this verse. It is one of my treasures and I love God who could and would write it this way. If you look at it in the King James, you'll notice that the word "Our" is capitalized and is a plural pronoun. This plural possessive pronoun is describing the noun "life" which of course is singular. In this verse very clearly our Great Triune God (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) is promising the Life of the Son as a propitiation to this lost prostitute some 1800 years before the Lord Jesus would actually enter the world. Praise the Lord. He sought me, and He bought me, with His redeeming blood! Just the way He did for this poor helpless sinner so long ago. Hallelujah! What a Saviour.
It's amazing to know that rahab, non Israeli corporated with Israelites and. Shared the Gospel of God's testimony to them
Sometimes, Mon Christians appear to remember God's testimonies than some christains who quickly forget God's past miracles in their lives.
