Joshua 2:1-11

Joshua 6:1-7

Jericho:

  • looked to their walls for safety

  • chose the “wait them out” tactic

  • did not repent

Israel:

  • represented God well

  • persevered through His battle strategy

  • surrendered totally to His will

  • TRUSTED in the Lord

Rahab:

  • not righteous

  • saved by faith

The truly baffling part of this story is not that Jericho experienced such extensive judgment and destruction but that Rahab and her family received such extensive mercy and grace.
