Alright brethren, Joshua chapter
2. Joshua chapter 2. I read the whole chapter and
I just want to go a little at a time here with you. But verse
1, we read, 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 a
harlot's house named Rahab and lodged there. Now the Lord is
about to deliver Israel over the land, over the Jordan into
the land of Canaan. And the first city they're going
to come to is Jericho. And it's a huge walled city. Walled up to heaven, Scripture
said. Walls that are impenetrable to
man. But they're not impenetrable
to God. And inside those walls, there's a harlot named Rahab. And God is able to go through
those walls and get that harlot and bring her out because she's
his. And wherever God has an elect
child, he's able to do the same and bring them out no matter
how high the walls. We have Jericho walls around
our heart. he's able to make them fall down.
And he's able to bring his child out from religion or wherever
they are, he's able to do it. And salvation is all of God's
grace. Rahab was a harlot. She was a
sinner. She's identified in scripture.
I guess every time her name's mentioned, she's Rahab the harlot,
the harlot Rahab. She was not a natural descendant
of Abraham. She wasn't a child of Israel.
She was a foreigner. She was a stranger. She was a
Gentile. She dwelt in Jericho and she
was an Amorite. God had cursed the Amorites. He had said that he would destroy
the Amorites. That's who came up against his
people. And she's referred to over and over and over as a harlot. But Rahab was a sinner chosen
by God the Father in eternity. Chosen by grace, not because
of anything in her, because he loved her. That's why he chose
her. He loved her. He loved her. Salvation
is all of God's grace. It's not of him that willeth,
not of him that runneth, but of God that showeth mercy. And
I'm sure just like every sinner that God gives faith, Rahab didn't
mind being referred to as Rahab the harlot because that's a testimony
to God's grace. Paul said, this is a faithful
saying and worthy of all acceptation that Christ Jesus came in the
world to save sinners of whom I am. Presently while I write
this, Paul said, I am the chief. I am the chief. So Joshua sent
spies, he sent messengers, and it says they went and they came
into a harlot's house named Rahab, and they lodged there. Now, at
this point, Rahab's already heard the word of the Lord. She's already
been given faith to believe the Lord. God has given her faith.
She's heard the Word. She believed the Lord. And just
like Joshua sent these messengers in there to her, that's how God
makes His people hear the Word. How can they hear without a preacher?
How can they preach except they be sent? And faith comes by hearing
and hearing by the Word of the Lord. Now, He sent these messengers. That's what He had already done
for Rahab. He'd sent her the Word, and she heard the Gospel.
And it gave her faith to believe. Why did he do that? Why did they
go to her house and not other houses? There was other houses
in Jericho. Why did they go to her house?
Because not only did God choose His people, He predestinated
us unto the adoption of children. That means He predestinated to
send His gospel to His people, call us, make us hear by the
Spirit, and call us out. Paul said, we're bound to give
thanks always to God for you, brethren, beloved of the Lord,
because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation. through
sanctification of the spirit and belief of the truth were
unto he called you by our gospel to the obtaining of the glory
of the Lord Jesus. That's what she had experienced
already. She wasn't seeking the Lord when
the Lord sought her. She's a Gentile. She didn't have
any of the promises. She didn't have any of the covenant.
She didn't have anything that Abraham and other children of
Israel had. She didn't have those things.
She's outside of where God was speaking. He was speaking to
Israel. She's outside of that. Completely. Well then how did she come to
believe the Lord? He sought her. Here's an example. He said, I am salt of them that
ask not for me. That's so of everybody he saves. Everybody. I am salt of them
that ask not for me. I am found of them that sought
me not. That throws a man for a loop.
I'm found of them that don't seek me. How do you find the
Lord when you don't seek him? Because he finds you. He finds
you. And he says, behold me, behold
me unto a nation that was not called by my name. That's him. So Rahab had been given faith
by God and she believed the Lord. Now what we're going to see here
is a harlot's faith. A harlot's faith. We're going
to see some things this harlot Rahab did by faith. Things she did by faith. These
were works God worked in her And it began with faith and it's
works that are works of faith that she did by God. That's what
we're gonna see. Now, first of all, this was obvious,
but maybe it's not so obvious. To somebody that's just hearing
of the Lord, this might not be obvious. Faith believes and casts
all care on the Lord. This is the first thing faith
does, is cast it all into the hand of the Lord. Everything.
Confessing Him before men, no longer ashamed of Him. Look here
in verse 9. She said unto the men, I know
that the Lord hath given you the land, and that your terrors
fall upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land faint
because of you. The Lord had sent her a messenger.
She had heard who the Lord is and what the Lord was doing and
was about to do. She had heard about the Lord.
And she says, I know that the Lord has given you the land.
Faith believes salvation is the gift of God. He's given it to
you, she said. Faith believes salvation, eternal
life, righteousness, everything that we need, and we need everything,
it's all given freely by God. She said, I know the Lord's given
it to you. The wages of sin is death. If
we die, if we perish, we will have earned that. We will have
worked for that. and God will give us the wage
we earn is death. But if we're saved, it says the
gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ. He gives you life. He gives you life. I was listening
to an atheist last night and he was just bragging about how
he didn't believe God and he said, they said, and somebody
asked him, do you believe Do you believe that you could be
wrong about God? And he said, perhaps I could
be. Maybe there's a God that I just
don't know anything about, that I can't know anything about unless
He makes me know Him. And I thought, I'd like to tell
you about that one. Because that's the one you don't
know. That's the one you're going to have to, and He's going to
have to give you the heart to know Him. It's a gift. We receive, not the spirit of
the world, but the spirit which is of God, that we might know
the things that are freely given to us of God. Freely given to
us of God. Even this faith she had is a
gift of God. By grace are you saved through
faith, and that's not of yourselves, it's the gift of God, not of
works, lest any man should boast. Faith hears. And faith believes
that Christ is the way. Faith hears by God's grace and
faith believes Christ is the way. She said here in verse 10,
we've heard how the Lord dried up the water of the Red Sea for
you when you came out of Egypt. The Lord made the way for you.
The Lord brought you the way. The Lord Jesus Christ dried up
the sea for His people. He did it for you who are His
people. The Lord Jesus Christ came into this earth and His
whole purpose was to, there was a sea that was separating us
from God, the sea of wrath that we could not come through. And
He dried it up, satisfying justice to bring His people through that
sea to God. That's what He did. He's the
way. He not only leads us in the way,
he is the way. He said this cup, when he poured
that wine and instituted it at the Lord's table, he said this
cup is the New Testament. It represents the New Testament
in my blood, which is shed for you. He laid down His life. She said, He dried up the Red
Sea for you. That's what God makes us hear
by faith. He dried up the Red Sea for you.
For you. Faith's personal. Faith's extremely
personal. He makes you know He dried it
up for you. For you. And she heard what the
Lord gave the children of Israel, that He gave them the victory
over their enemies. She said in verse 10, I heard
what you did unto the two kings of the Amorites that were on
the other side of Jordan, Zion and Og, whom you utterly destroyed.
She's an Amorite. And she said, I heard how you
destroyed the kings of the Amorites. Well, they didn't do it. They
were vessels used to do it, but who really did it? The Lord did
it. And that's what she's talking about. God in Christ gave His
people the victory. He gave us the victory. Turn
over Romans 8. Let's read this again. You can't
read this too much, and I'll think that Paul said to repeat
the same things unto you. It's not grievous to me, and
for you it's safe. Let's see it again. Romans 8,
29. Listen to the word he right here. Read this, the word he. Verse
29, whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed
to the image of his son, that he might be the firstborn among
many brethren. Moreover, whom he did predestinate,
them he also called, and whom he called, them he also justified,
and whom he justified, them he also glorified. What shall we
then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be
against us? She said, I heard you destroyed
all your enemies. God did it. God did it. He said,
he that spared not his own son, but delivered him up for us all,
how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? Who
shall lay anything to the charge of God's elect? It is God that
justifies. Who's he that condemneth? It's
Christ that died, yea, rather that's risen again, who's even
at the right hand of God, who makes intercession for us. Who
gonna separate us from the love of Christ? And he says in verse
37, and all these things. We're more than conquerors through
Him that loved us. Do you see this? When she says,
I heard how you conquered all these enemies, it's just like
everything else she's saying here. The Lord did this for you,
and I heard about Him, and I've heard what He's done. Have you
heard what the Lord's done? Is somebody sitting here this
evening that's heard what the Lord's done? When she heard,
you know what happened? The other unbelievers in Jericho,
their hearts fainted because they were afraid of God and knew
they were going to die and He wasn't going to save them. But
when she heard it, this is the difference between God gives
you faith, when she heard it, God gave her a new heart that
fainted and that she quit resisting God and bowed and believed Him. That's the difference. Same word,
same God, same message, one hears it and their heart faints in
unbelief and they just say, there's no use. but the one he gives
faith, their heart melts in faith and submission and bows and cast
it all on his mercy. Look here in verse 11. She said,
as soon as we heard our hearts did melt, neither did there remain
any more courage in any man because of you. And she knew, and she
bowed, she believed, and she said, verse 11, for the Lord
your God, he is God in heaven above and in earth beneath. True
faith. Confess it. It believes on the
Lord. Cast all on His mercy. And confesses before men, He's
Lord. He's salvation. He's given you
everything. He's conquered your enemy. It's
Him. I need to be saved by Him. Remember
what Paul told the Philippian jailer when he asked, what must
I do to be saved? That's a good question. What
must you do to be saved? Paul said, Believe on the Lord
Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved. And that goes for everybody
in your house. Everybody in your house. Believe
on the Lord Jesus Christ. Believe on Him. That means apart
from trying to do anything to save yourself, believe on the
Lord Jesus Christ. A believer who's been in the
faith 30 years needs to hear that same word every day. You need to hear somebody tell
you, believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. And when we first are
coming to Him, you need to hear it. Believe on Him. Believe on
Him. Confess Him before men in believers'
baptism. Unite with His people. Here's
the second thing. Faith receives brethren. Faith
receives brethren. When you believe on Christ, you'll
receive His people. It says here, she received these
spies. They came to her house and she
received them. Now let me give you something from Hebrews 11
verse 31. It says, by faith, by faith,
the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not when
she had received the spies with peace. She received these men
in peace by faith, by faith. People don't, you're a believer
and when you go to somebody's house that doesn't believe and
you start telling them what the Lord's done, what he's going
to do, they don't receive you with peace if they don't believe
the Lord. She received them with peace because she believed the
same Lord they preached when they came to her. And when God's
given us faith in Christ, we receive His people as brethren. We receive His messengers as
sent from Christ Himself. She welcomed these men, though
she just met them, because she believed God sent them to her.
They were messengers sent to her from the Lord, and she believed
that. And she received them as such.
She believed that. My temptation which was in my
flesh, Paul said, he said this to the Galatians, my temptation
which was in my flesh, you despise not or reject it, but receive
me as an angel from God, even as Jesus Christ. That's how the
brethren received Paul at the first, when God had given them
faith. By faith, Rahab received their
word as the word of the Lord. She heard the Lord speaking in
what these men said. And she heard that word, and
she knew that's the word of the Lord, that's His voice, and so
she received Him. She received Him. Paul said,
For this cause we thank God without ceasing, because when you received
the word of God which you heard of us, you received it not as
the word of men, but as it is in truth the word of God which
effectually worketh also in you that believe. Now, we try to
preach the gospel as plainly as we can preach the gospel.
I want to try to preach, I try to preach to the youngest person
here, that's who I try to preach to, to their understanding. When
I print the bulletin, I do that spelling check and that grammar
check, and at the end of it, it tells you what grade level
your writing is. And I'm trying, I'm down to about
fourth grade level, and I'm trying to get lower if I can. But it's
not our preaching in simplicity that's going to make anybody
believe. A child won't believe because you can show it to them
in a coloring book so they can understand it. They won't understand
it. They have to be taught of the
Lord and hear it in their heart. and hear it in their heart. But
when we hear His voice, when you hear Him speak through men,
you know His voice, you know it's Christ speaking because
you hear the word of the Lord, you hear it spoken in truth,
and you follow Him because it's a rare and precious thing. Do
you think about it? When you're walking through your
daily life, how often do you hear somebody speak the truth
of God? How often? And when you do, does
it not cause you to perk up and go, Did I just hear his voice? That's what he said. My sheep
hear my voice. And when you meet somebody that
speaks the truth of the gospel and they keep speaking and everything
they say is true according to the word, you realize this is
a rare thing. I have met a believer out in
the world. Well, that's so. When you hear his gospel preached,
it's a rare and precious thing. If you grow up hearing it, it
might not be rare and precious to you. But it's a rare and precious
thing. Rare and precious thing to God's people. Here's the third
thing. By faith she protected her brethren. Verse 2, Joshua 2, 2. It was
told the king of Jericho, this is her king, the king of Jericho,
saying, Behold, there came men in hitherto night of the children
of Israel to search out the country. And the king of Jericho sent
to Rahab, saying, Bring forth the men that are come to thee,
which are entered into thine house. For they become to search
out all the country. He said to Rahab, he'd heard
this, heard these men went to her house, and he sends his men
to her house, and he says, you got these men in your house,
now bring them out. That's what he sent his messengers
to her to say. Verse four, and the woman took
the two men and hid them. And this is what she said. There
came men unto me, but I don't know where they are. Came to pass by the time of shutting
the gate, when it was dark, the men went out. And where the men
went, I don't know. Pursue after them quickly. Go,
she said, you better get after them. You're going to miss them
if you don't go after them. Pursue them quickly. But she
brought them up to the roof of the house and hid them with the
stalks of flax which she had laid in order upon the roof.
And the men pursued after them the way to Jordan and to the
fords, and as soon as they which pursued after them were gone
out, they shut the gate. I've heard legalists condemn
Rahab for lying to the king's men, but God didn't condemn her. He never condemns her. In fact,
God holds this very thing up right here as a work of faith. Now let me ask you something.
If you knew this story without knowing God said it's a work
of faith, would you say it's a work of faith? Probably wouldn't,
would you? What does that say? Why does God call it a work of
faith? Because he knew her heart that he gave her and the faith
he put there. And he worked this. And you and
I don't know that. You and I are not all knowing
God. We can't see another person's
heart. Can I see another person's heart? God knew our motive was
faith, and God looks on the heart. If the motive is faith, that's
what God put it there, God worked it, that's what God receives. And he holds this up as a work
of faith. It says in James 2.25, was not
Rahab the harlot justified by works when she had received the
messengers and sent them out another way? Now understand Rahab
hiding these spas along with these other things she did was
a work of faith produced by God which justified her faith as
being God-given faith. It justified her faith as being
God-given faith, but it did not justify her and make her righteous
before God. That's not what James is talking
about. This was a work that proved God had really put faith in her
heart and she really believed God. She really believed God.
Our faith does not justify us before God's holy law. Our works
don't justify us before God's holy law. Christ justified us
by his blood laying down his life at Calvary. But God works
a faith in us by which it's proven that we really believe God. Now
how do we see her faith as genuine right here? This was a work wherein
she was under much pressure to where she had to entirely trust
God. Just like Abraham, he's another
one God holds up as a work of faith. God said, offer up your
only son Isaac, who I just promised to you that I'm going to bring
a seed through, I'm going to bring the Savior through him,
and I'm going to save a people through him. Now you go kill
him on an altar. And faith said, my son God will
provide. He'll provide himself. He'll
provide himself a lamb. I don't understand what he's
doing. I don't know what he's going to do. I don't know how
he's going to work this out. I just know this. God will provide."
And he believed God was able to raise Isaac from the dead.
And he received him from the dead in a figure because in his
heart he slew that boy. He slew him. And Rahab right
here. proved she believed God. She proved she feared God more
than men. I can tell you, when these men
came to her house, these men put the pressure on her. These
men, it's not that she wasn't shaking before these men. It
wasn't that these men put her under tremendous, tremendous
amounts of pressure to try to force her to tell them, where
are these men? But she feared God more than
she feared them. She feared God more than she
feared men. Not only that, she did this because she loved God's
people. She did this to protect God's
people. The Lord's people that he's given
faith, They don't want to see His people hurt. They don't want
to see His people hurt in any way. When you do anything that
hurts your brethren, that hurts you enough as it is. You don't
want to do anything else that's going to hurt God's people. You
just don't. And if anybody else has faith
and trusts the Lord and loves the brethren, they're not going
to want to see the brethren hurt either. And so you protect your
brethren. You protect your brethren. If
she told the king where they were, The king gonna kill these
men. He's gonna kill the children
of Israel. The king of Jericho and his men are under the power
of the devil. That's the devil looking for
God's people and trying to separate God's people and sow discord
among God's people and destroy God's people. God's preacher
stands up and says, seek peace with one another. Lay aside your
differences. Put aside your pride that you
got to be right and bow to Christ and cover your brother's sins. Cover their nakedness. Because
you got a lot of nakedness. Yours can be uncovered in just
a heartbeat. But God's people want to do that
because you want to protect your brethren. You want to protect
your brethren. And she did this for God's glory.
She believed God was all powerful and that He could handle this.
She believed, I'm sure she didn't know how it was going to turn
out, but what she did know was this. She wanted to see Joshua
come in there and conquer that city and deliver her out. And
she thought he would. She believed he would. And Brethren,
Joshua's a picture of Christ. And whatever we're doing, we're
doing it because of it. We fear God more than men. We
believe God and trust him that he can work it out and he can
glorify himself. and He can save His people. And
we love our brethren and we want to protect them. And this rules
everything God's people do. And you may not understand it. You may not understand how God's
working it out. He may be telling you to kill
your only son and you don't understand how that's going to glorify it.
You just trust Him. Even when other people are saying,
well that's not faith. Well, they can't see your heart. If you believe God, you cast
it on Him and you trust Him and you follow Him. And don't listen
to what anybody else says. Fourthly, by faith she told the
messengers the best way to get to Joshua. When she sent them
out, James said, said Rahab the harlot was justified by works
or faith justified as being genuine in faith when she received the
messengers and sent them out another way. This work wasn't
finished when she hid them. And when she sent them out, she
told them the way to go. Verse 15, Joshua 2.15, She let
them down by a cord through the window. Her house was up on a
town wall, and she dwelt upon the wall. And she said to them,
Get you to the mountains, lest the pursuers meet you. And hide
yourselves there three days, until the pursuers be returned.
And afterward, may you go your way. And they did what she said. They went. And then where did
they end up? They end up coming to Joshua. They end up coming
to Joshua. That's a picture of telling our
brethren and telling other lost sinners the way to Joshua, the
way to Christ our Savior. That's what we're here for. Your
brother, your sister being pursued by somebody, they're out to get
them and they're trying to kill them. What you gonna do? You're
going to call them to Christ. You're going to tell them the
way to Christ. Get to Him. Go to Him. You meet some sinner
that's helpless that needs redemption. What are you going to tell them?
Go to Christ. Go to Christ. And that's what
she did. She told them the way. Faith
tells others Christ is the way and sends them to Christ. All these works were works of
faith that she did. Now lastly, this is the most
important right here. Of everything, this right here
is the most important. By faith she stayed in the house
under the blood until the end. She stayed in the house under
the blood until the end. These men made a promise to Rahab
that they would deliver her, but she had to stay in the house
where the scarlet line was bound. Look at verse 18. It said, Behold,
when we come into the land, thou shalt bind this line of scarlet
thread in the window which thou didst let us down by, and bring
your father and your mother and your brethren and your father's
household home to thee. And whosoever goes out of these
doors, their blood's going to be upon their head. If we kill
them, we kill them. That's what they're saying. But
everybody that's in this house right here, his blood's on our
head if we harm them. And they said to her, they said,
we promise you we will not be guilty of breaking this oath
to you. We will not. You bind this scarlet thread
in your window, and you stay in this house with your brethren.
Brethren, that scarlet line typifies the blood of Christ. Faith rests
in the blood of Christ. We cast it all on the blood of
Christ. We believe on Christ, trusting
his blood to be our salvation. Blood, blood, blood. Blood's
all through the Bible. He who knew no sin was made sin
for us that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
He suffered the wrath his people deserved to save us from our
sins. And the scripture said God set
him forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood. through
the forbearance of God, to declare God just and justifier of His
people. Scripture says, in Him we have
redemption through His blood, even the forgiveness of sin.
Much more than being now justified by His blood, we shall be saved
from wrath through Him. That scarlet line wasn't just
some little thread she put in the window. She let them down
the wall on that thing. We're talking about blood that
won't let you go. It won't let you fall. It won't
let you fall away to your death. His blood is going to sustain
His people. His blood, the Lord God said,
when I see the blood, I'll pass over those that are in the house
trusting Him. That's what they told her. When we see that scarlet line,
we're going to pass over this house. And so she went around
and told all her brethren and all her friends, if you want
to be saved, get in this house and trust the word of these men
that have preached to us. And when they come, they're going
to spare us. God's going to pass over us.
That's what we're preaching. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.
Confess Him. Unite with your brethren. Here's
the gist of all these works. Whatever is turning you away
from Christ, turn away from it to Christ, and turn your brethren
away from it to Christ. And there's going to be a lot
of that. You're going to have plenty of that to turn from throughout
your days. Part of it is, we don't see ourselves right now
where we're sitting as harlots. That's part of it. That's why
she was always called a harlot. We need to always remember, if
we could see God, holy as He is, and see ourselves as we are,
but for the righteousness of Christ. We saw ourselves as we
are. Just harlots. Is anybody less
of a harlot? Anybody more of a harlot? I think the Lord's pretty clear,
the worst of the worst are those that don't think they're harlots,
think they're righteous. without Christ. Rather than the
best of our deeds, the best of what we do, we just painted harlots
really. But if you're in the house, and
you're under the blood, and you trust in Christ, and he's all
your hope and all your salvation, God promises by his covenant,
all his promises are yes in Christ and amen in Christ, just like
that word they gave to her. We're coming through, but we
will not pour out justice on one of them. It's been poured
out on Christ. It's satisfied. God's honor,
God's laws up there. God's gonna save his people.
Are you in it? How do you know? Believe on him,
that's how you know. And get in the house with his
people and unite with his people and let me tell you something.
Rahab, Rahab believed that city was gonna be destroyed and ain't
nothing that would have made her leave that house. If you
really believe this whole place is gonna be destroyed and real
soon, you'll get in the house of the Lord, you'll get under
the blood of Christ, trust him. And I don't care if her daddy
was the most cantankerous rascal there was and all her brothers
and sisters and whoever else she brought in that house was
as hard as they could be to live with, I bet she said it ain't
worth going outside the house. It ain't worth being found out
there when Joshua comes through and burns up the whole city. I want to be right here because
I believe Him. I believe Him and I trust Him. And that's where
you'll be. That's where you'll be. Let them
make all the excuses they want to. I'll tell you who can leave
the house. Those who can. That's what it amounts to. Those
who can't. Can't because God's keeping you.
He's going to keep you united with His people and you ain't
leaving Him. That's just so. That's just so. Well what happened to her? Let
me stop it real quick. Let me show you this last thing.
What happened to her? Look over chapter 6. Verse 20. They circled the city
and they blew the trumpet. And one of these days Christ
is coming back. He's blowing the trumpet. This whole place
is going to be burned up. When he did that, all the walls
fell down on the city. Now her house was in the wall.
Her house was in that wall. We're not talking about just
a little privacy fence around your house. We're talking about
a big old wall that's thick enough to have a house in it. It fell
down flat all the way around. Look here, verse 20. The wall
fell down flat except one place. It didn't fall down in one place.
I just see it starting right here, right here at this side
of her house, and going all the way around, just falling down,
all the way around that big city, bigger than New York City, going
all the way around, all the way around, gets right back to her
house. Stopped falling. When it got done, it wasn't but
one house standing, just that piece of wall where her house
was. That's how it's gonna be in the end. The Lord's going
to burn everything up because it can all be burned up. There's
going to be one house that's not going to be burned up. That's
the Lord's house. That's His people redeemed by
His righteousness, called into His house by His power and grace,
kept there by His power and grace. Brethren who love each other
in spite of one another because they love the Lord more than
they love each other. kept there trusting Him, trusting Him, looking
to Him. And in the end, when every other
house is burned down, the whole world is burned up. There will
be one house. That's His house. That's His
house. Brethren, believe on Christ. Stay in the house. Stay in the
house. I want to point out something
to you here too. Verse 25, it says, Joshua saved Rahab the
harlot alive, and her father's household, and all that she had.
And she dwelleth in Israel unto this day. You ever read something like
that? You think, well, she don't dwell there today. Oh yes, she
does. She's still dwelling there today. She's right there in Israel with
God. right now, today, because she
believes the Lord. That's where you'll be if you
believe Him, trust Him. Amen.
