*This sermon was preached at Covenant Bible Church on the Lord's Day, April 30th, 2023.* 
 
In Joshua 2:9, Rahab says, “The FEAR of you has fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land melt away before you.” And again, in Joshua 2:11, Rahab says, “And as soon as we heard it, our hearts melted, and there was no spirit left in any man because of you.” One of the chief evidences, which caused Rahab to be convinced that her people were under God's judgment and doomed to be destroyed by their enemies (Israel), was the FEAR of her people. Fear is not only a sin, it's a sign of being under a curse.

Lord Have Mercy! | Joshua 2:2-14 - Wednesday, 01/08/2025

Scripture:Verse By Verse 

with Michael Meurett

Study the entire Bible verse by verse.

I have been teaching the Bible verse by verse on radio and television for over 30 years. My goal has always been to teach it in a clear simple understandable way, and to make it as practical as possible. As the name implies these commentaries are basic, and hopefully they will make Scripture more understandable for you. I pray they are used by God to draw you closer to Christ.

Rahab was: 
 
1) C ______________________________ 
2:1 Then Joshua son of Nun secretly sent two spies from Shittim. “Go, look over the land,” he said, “especially Jericho.” So they went and entered the house of a prostitute named Rahab and stayed there. 2 The king of Jericho was told, “Look, some of the Israelites have come here tonight to spy out the land.” 3 So the king of Jericho sent this message to Rahab: “Bring out the men who came to you and entered your house, because they have come to spy out the whole land.” 
Who was Rahab? 
 
 
Why Rahab was in danger from Israelites? From her own people? 
 
 
 
How would you respond if you were in Rahab’s shoes? 
 
 
2) C ______________________________ 
4 But the woman had taken the two men and hidden them. She said, “Yes, the men came to me, but I did not know where they had come from. 5 At dusk, when it was time to close the city gate, they left. I don’t know which way they went. Go after them quickly. You may catch up with them.” 6 (But she had taken them up to the roof and hidden them under the stalks of flax she had laid out on the roof.) 
7 So the men set out in pursuit of the spies on the road that leads to the fords of the Jordan, and as soon as the pursuers had gone out, the gate was shut. 
8 Before the spies lay down for the night, she went up on the roof 9 and said to them, “I know that the Lord has given you this land and that a great fear of you has fallen on us, so that all who live in this country are melting in fear because of you. 10 We have heard how the Lord dried up the water of the Red Sea for you when you came out of Egypt, and what you did to Sihon and Og, the two kings of the Amorites east of the Jordan, whom you completely destroyed. 11 When we heard of it, our hearts melted in fear and everyone’s courage failed because of you, for the Lord your God is God in heaven above and on the earth below. 
How did Rahab get out of her predicament? How is this faith??? 
 
What happened to Sihon and Og? How did this affect all Jericho? 
 
 
What aspect of Rahab’s faith do you admire most? 
 
 
3) C ______________________________ 
30 By faith the walls of Jericho fell, after the army had marched around them for seven days. 31 By faith the prostitute Rahab, because she welcomed the spies, was not killed with those who were disobedient. 
How does Rahab’s story end? 
 
How will your story end?

Rahab and the Gospel | Joshua 2:10-11 | Leonce Crump

World Bible School Media

“THE BOOK OF JOSHUA ~ a Type & Shadow” A-009 (06-09-21) Joshua 2:4-7 
------------------------------------------------------------ 
Joshua 2:4-7 (NKJV) “4 Then the woman took the two men and hid them. So she said, “Yes, the men came to me, but I did not know where they were from. 5 And it happened as the gate was being shut, when it was dark, that the men went out. Where the men went I do not know; pursue them quickly, for you may overtake them.” 6 (But she had brought them up to the roof and hidden them with the stalks of flax, which she had laid in order on the roof.) 7 Then the men pursued them by the road to the Jordan, to the fords. And as soon as those who pursued them had gone out, they shut the gate.” 
● In this story, it seems that Rahab did not know a lot about Israel’s God, about His laws of righteousness, or even the way of salvation, but she did know that He was the supreme God. But what about Rahab’s lie? Was it justified or not and does scripture condone it? Most commentaries approve of her faith but disapprove of her lie. In essence, they approve of her hiding the spies but do not support the idea of her telling a lie. 
● Note what Expositors Bible Commentary says: “Rahab lied as much in what she did as in what she said. Deception is an important strategy in warfare. Espionage would be impossible without it. When Rahab hid the spies, she sided with Israel against her own people. It was an act of treason.” 
● On a personal note, I would never agree with blatantly lying about anything. However, Rahab did not know the law of God, and probably had no idea that telling lies was wrong in any form. 
She probably did not even realize harlotry was to practice immorality. These people were not taught in the ways of God, and therefore, many still practiced the ways of the mistaken identity born of the confusion within the Adam-mind. 
● Now, while Joshua and the children of Israel are still preparing to cross the Jordan river, and patiently waiting for the returning spies with their report, the first word is still burning in the mind of Joshua. No doubt Joshua remembered the words, “arise, go over this Jordan, you and all this people, to the land which I am giving to them—the children of Israel. Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given you, as I said to Moses.” 
● For me, this story would be a type of doing what God instructs you to do, even if a challenge arises while you carry out what God had said. What do you do when you find yourself facing some of the greatest challenges in life while doing what God has instructed you to do? 
● Isaiah 41:13 (NKJV) says, “For I, the LORD your God, will hold your right hand, Saying to you, ‘Fear not, I will help you.’” 
● When the two spies and even Rahab were in danger of being discovered by the city guards, I think they had to know that it was the Lord who held their hand the whole time. Just as stated in Isaiah 41, the words “Fear not, I will help you” should be a comfort to us all. The fact that God never leaves us nor forsakes us proves that we are in union, as One with our Creator. 
● You are One with God, and there is no separation. And I think they had to know deep within that God was with them at all times. In your union or relationship with Father, there must be the element of trust that goes beyond this natural realm of what you see, hear, or touch. We must come into an understanding that we are spirit and as such, we are created like our Father and should not fear this natural-realm of a sensory perception. As a natural being, you are in an appearance realm as spirit made visible. 
● Yet, as a supernatural being who is created like God, who is also spirit, we live by supernatural laws. For me, that means just like what 2 Corinthians 5:7 says, “For we walk by faith, not by sight.” It is clear that Rahab did what she did by faith in a God she barely understood. But don’t you think that for the two spies to enter into an unknown city also had to walk by faith, and not be influenced by what they saw, heard, and touched or interacted with? 
● Every place the sole of your foot walks upon, or in all that you do, it is another opportunity to share the Christ-mind with someone. You live in your Father, and your Father lives in you as One, therefore, live each day in faith, or the belief that you have been given all, and you are all, just as your Father is within you, because AS He is, so are you in this world. 
● I hope you were enlightened and inspired to “dig deep into the well of Father’s mind within” as you watch this video lesson!

And as soon as those who pursued them had gone out, they shut the gate.” 
● In this story, it seems that Rahab did not know a lot about Israel’s God, about His laws of righteousness, or even the way of salvation, but she did know that He was the supreme God. But what about Rahab’s lie? Was it justified or not and does scripture condone it? Most comm
