I have been so blessed by having discovered your channel on KZbin. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and faith with us - this year I have started a 2-year plan of reading through the Bible. The Old Testament books are overflowing with God’s revelation and riches. What a treasure God’s Word is!

Remarkable how she split her allegiance in a scarlet cord , much like the splitting of the drapes that insulated the sacred covenant at the crucifixion

Thank you, I just started the book of Joshua 😊 It helps Alot to have your insight. God bless you ❣️

[@DavidGuzikEnduringWord]

Excellent, so happy to hear. Thank you for your kind words and support!

That was part of my morning reading today! I'm generally looking in your commentary when I encounter passages that need clarification. Thank you for your faithfulness to the Lord and the clarity you bring as I study His word.

Hi pastor David. Am extremely happy to study the book of Joshua. Am pretty sure that God has a lot to teach us through it ao we can live a godly life. I would like to ask a question . Why the name of the two spies are not given ? Could be that they were angels from the Lord sent to Rahab house to set up the scenario for what later will be a symbolism of the new covenant when she placed the scarlet ribbon on the window to spare her and her family lives from death ? In advance I thank you for your time and answer. God bless you and your family

I want to use this opportunity to ask a question pst David Guzik if you don't mind. As christians is it a sin to listen or dance to secular music? Ive been looking forward to getting answers to this question and I think your teachings will be of great help to me cuz Ive really grown in the spirit by your amazing teachings 💆🏽‍♀️💆🏽‍♀️

[@fernandomarquez3131]

There was belief. The reasoning is that she voiced fear of the LORD, in JOSHUA, when she departed , the common thought and belief in THE TRUE GOD was a common feeling .

I'm truly excited to dive into the Word alongside Pastor David's guidance, annotating and reflecting on each verse 📖 . I can't wait to complete a meticulously annotated Book of Joshua, rich with cross-references and deep insights, all facilitated by God's wisdom through Pastor David. 😊 Speaking of insights, Pastor David, I have a quick question 🤔 : Could we also interpret the scarlet thread in Joshua as symbolising the blood of the Lamb(🐑 --> Jesus † ) mentioned in Exodus 12:13? My thoughts are : As the Angel of the Lord spared those with the blood of the Lamb on their doors, the same way Joshua and the rest spared the life of Rahab and her family because of the scarlet thread, the same way if we are washed in the blood of Jesus, will be spared from God's wrath in the end times and instead be raptured (similar to what it says to the church of Philadelphia in Rev.3:10?) 💚

You're very kind, thank you for your kind words and your support. Blessings in His name! Yes, I could see making such a connection. Isaiah 1:18 makes the association between sin, forgiveness, and scarlet: ...says the LORD. “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool. The scarlet thread, and the lamb's blood on the doorway could be said to point to Christ in this way. Thank you for this!
