“Behold, when we come into the land, you shall tie this scarlet cord in the window through which you let us down, and you shall gather into your house your father and mother, your brothers, and all your father’s household.”   Joshua 2:18 ESV



God leads His own to the promised land
Two spies sent by Joshua cross the Jordan
Hidden from harm by the harlot Rahab
Ancestress of King David and the Son of Man


On the rooftop the messengers safely stay
Rahab looked to God’s mercy and grace
The men said “Our life for yours even to death!”
Then to Joshua they returned with stealth


In the window Rahab tied the scarlet cord
Placing all her hope and trust in the Lord
When the walls of Jericho fell on day seven
Her house was the only promised haven


Rahab and her family were saved by her faith
The last trumpet will sound one glorious day!
Tie the scarlet cord of Christ Jesus in your heart 
Abide in His amazing love that will never part!


“The blood shall be a sign for you, on the houses where you are. And when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and no plague will befall you to destroy you, when I strike the land of Egypt”
Exodus 12:13 ESV
