Rahab the Story Teller (1-18-09)

Rahab is one of those characters of the Bible that would be ridiculed by the retards who call themselves Christian. Yet in God she is honored for her faith. To her countrymen she is a traitor. In Christ she is grafted into his bloodline. The battle of Jericho was divine but when the spies made their vows to Rahab they were imagining conventional warfare. God has His timing and His secrets but there will be a time of revelation. Rahab had some revelation already. She heard of God’s great victories for His people and she believed that this God who showed Himself living and strong was the only true God. When confronted with the spies she had her whole life placed in dishonor. If she wanted to follow after the hope of Israel she could no longer be loyal to Jericho or her profession. She was forced by the testimony of God to recognize the scarlet thread of Christ the Savior woven throughout Divine History. In fact her faith was immediate. She did not delay in placing the scarlet cloth. Surely it would have been days or weeks before it was relevant but to her it was relevant now. Not knowing God’s timing but knowing His plans gave her no opportunity for pause. When will you apply your faith, tomorrow? She had the distinction of living on the wall, the very point of contact with God and His plan. There was coming a time soon where God was going to do some shaking. His justice required it of Him. When He was finished with His shaking only faith remained standing. All the walls, all that the evil retards trusted in was going to fall. They were going to be exposed to the full fury of God’s wrath. They were designated for destruction, but not the garment of faith. All in the house of faith were saved without exception on the vow of God. I am amazed at how people can lose courage when faced with giant walls like an Alsup or the FBI. Do you really think they can remain standing when God begins His shaking? I do not. The question you must ask yourself is why you do not believe God will shake things. Are the reports of Og, Sihon, or Egypt not convincing? Do you want to wait to hang out your scarlet claim just when the shaking begins? Don’t kid yourselves either your scarlet claim is flowing for all to see or you are an enemy of God designated for destruction. I don’t need appeals, lawyers, or any other convention of war. My God will shake when His justice requires this of Him and my house of faith will remain and all who have joined me shall be saved. The circling trumpets have already begun.
