Joshua 2: A Scarlet Covenant, Jesus’s Spies Save Faithful Rahab - a podcast by KFUO Radio

Rev. Rolf Preus, pastor of Trinity-Sidney&St. John-Fairview, Montana, joins host Rev. AJ Espinosa to study Joshua 2.

The story of Rahab is famous. The drama makes it a great story: the soldiers searching for the spies, Rahab hiding them and lying to the soldiers, and finally Rahab helping them escape through a window in the city wall. Underneath the drama though, we see a story of Rahab’s faith and Joshua’s blessing.Rahab of Jericho wasn’t a prostitute anymore, even if it had become like a last name. From the distance of Jericho, she sees that Yahweh is the true and universal “God in the heavens above and on the earth beneath.” We see our Lord prefigured as Joshua’s spies make a covenant to save this repentant sinner: “Our life for yours even to death!” The scarlet cord and the three day’s wait prefigure our Lord’s passion and resurrection to save us from the stronghold of Satan.
