Chapter 2, Joshua the son of man said out, Out of his pittor, he went to spy secretly and said, who built the land in Jericho? He went and came into the Harlins' house in Greyhound, not there. And he told the King of Jericho and said, behold, he made a pittor, and the knight of the young minstrel searched out the country. And the king of Jericho said, Rehab, say, break forth the men that have come to thee, that have entered into thy house, and they shall come to search out for the country. And the woman took the two men, hid them, and said thus, said thus, there came men unto thee, but I wish not which they were. In the past of the time of General Gage, And the man went out, and where the man went, there was a woman, a servant of the lady, a maid of Jacob. And she had brought them up to the roof of the house, hidden in the stalks of spruce. She had laid the order on the roof. And the man had sued after them, waiting to be brought to court as soon as they were sued after them, brought out of the cave. And before they lay down, she came up to them on the roof and said to them, I know that the Lord has given you the land and that your terror is called the forest. The Lord has given you the land mainly because of you. You have heard how the Lord dried out the water of the Red Sea for you, and when He came out of Egypt, what He did unto the two kings of the Amorites, that were on the other side of the ocean, Zion and Columbia, whom He utterly destroyed. As soon as we had heard these things, our hearts were melted. Neither did there remain any more courage in any man because of you, The Lord your God, he is God in heaven and on earth. Now, therefore, I pray you, swear to me by the Lord that I've showed you kindness, that he will also show kindness at my father's house. Give me a true token that he will save a life like mine. My sisters, in all that they have, will deliver our lives from death. And the men answered him, how alike he was. If he had a lot, and this our business, I shall leave, and the Lord hath given us the land, and we will be kindly and truly with him. Then she led him down by a court into the window. For the house was upon the town wall, and it dwelt upon the wall. As she said unto them, get you to the mountain, lest the pursuers meet you, and hide yourselves there three days, until the pursuers be returned, and afterward be on your way. The man said unto her, We will be blameless of this thy oath, which thou hast made us swear. Behold, when we come into the land, thou shalt find this line of scarlet thread in the window, which thou didst let us down the vine, and thou shalt bring thy father, and thy mother, and thy brethren, and all thy father's household, all to thee. Thus it shall be, whosoever shall go out of the doors of my house into the street, his rug shall be upon his head. Now, do you get what I'm saying? Now, whosoever shall be with me in the house, his rug shall be upon our head. Anyhow, if thou utter out, if thou utter this out of business, then we will be quick of thy oath which thou hath bestowed. She said, according to your words, and she sent them away and departed and she found a star of light in the window and they went and came under the mountain and they rode there three days until the pursuers were returned. And the pursuers sought them all the way and found them. The two men returned and descended from the mountain and passed over. Came to Joshua, the son of man, and told him all the things that he could tell. He said unto Joshua, truly, the Lord hath delivered into our hands all the land, even all inhabitants of the country to faith because of us. Now, we have to look in. No? up to the Joe and then to the Joe and the rest of the tribal orchestra. New Testament. I thought for a minute that the fact that we built a village, we were looking for a woman. Viral? Yes, there's a woman. She is of course a great power. So I did what We have said what is going to be a prostitute. I don't know if you agree or not. I would like to say that we are in the Bible. But nevertheless, one of the things that we will have to look at. So we are going to look at this. If I were to give this a title, I would say, God created this universe. God created this universe. I'm always conscious that when I talk about God created, created, created this universe, I'm talking about people who live a very serious view of that following in their lives. That for the day in earth, a couple would say, well, yeah, I believe in that. But I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't Every step you take, there are a lot of people revisiting you immediately. Because if you give respect to those steps, they will lead you on the right way. So I'm aware of that, but nevertheless, this is a particular example of what we use. I'll tell you the context. I don't know much about it, but if you're aware, it's Joshua, of course, It's a thought. Wilderness, you know, has been going on for years. It's frozen now. It's dying. It's just been raised up. All the trees in the wilderness, they've died. And we've been generating now more and more rain. And the infrastructure has failed. It's all dying, right? Most of them have gone. Now they're going to have to come back. The first obstacle they have is the city now. It's terrible. It's a great city. So. In the coming, the people of God and Joshua are now going into the land of Israel. Now, one of the thing is that our faith is healthy, you know, healthy body, you know, is that in a basic way is about what should be healthy, truly healthy for the world, what we call healthy. There is examples in Europe, other places around the world, where different people who hate another, people of another country, etc., etc., and he wiped them out. So he wiped them out that they were their land, etc. Now some people have read the Book of Joshua and said, this is your God, your Jehovah, exercising, exercising, to just wipe out these people so we have no people who will come into the land. And the implication is that these people came to us and decided to come back. These people were organized in a kind of way where people might come and discuss the problem and have a little talk and so they just wait for the government to wipe them out. Well, that's not actually what the Bible says. And you could read some verses in Hebrew or English, where God explains why these people need to be white-out, to be destroyed. And you actually read these things, you read that they're not being defiled against some people, they're evil, and they're wicked, and they are betrayed. Q. Sir, are you clear that the Abaddon men were trained to a great extent? This is what they give to their children. They sacrifice, so they can improve their life, their lifestyle, their life. They sacrifice their own children, their own babies, their own prosperity. I was astounded by the gravity of how bad they were, how well prepared people could be to do that on their own. So, you know, it's not that much of a mess, but I find people who are prepared to do it. And then, this is what I do for the moment. So what I'm saying is this, when God decides that people should be joyous, it's not as if God says, well, why don't you be joyous? It's boring. It's boring. It's boring. It's boring. It's boring. It's boring. It's boring. It's boring. It's boring. It's boring. It's boring. It's boring. It's boring. It's boring. It's boring. It's boring. It's boring. It's boring. It's boring. It's boring. It's boring. It's boring. It's boring. It's boring. It's boring. It's boring. It's boring. It's boring. It's boring. It's boring. It's boring. It's boring. It's boring. It's boring. It's boring. It's boring. It's boring. It's boring. It's boring. It's boring. It's boring. It's boring. It's boring. It's boring. It's boring. It's boring. It's boring. It's boring. It's boring. It's boring. It's boring. It's boring. It's boring. It's boring. It's boring. It's boring. Well, that's at the background, right? So I don't want to get into a little bit of history here. I want to get into a little bit of history. Now, the first thing we read here is that Joshua sent two men to buy the land. The question is, why does God send two men to buy the land? But remember that God has said to Joshua, at least a million years ago, that we have this incredible power. So he said, I can do this. So why did George Shearer, who is a great philosopher, said, Raj, I'm asking you, he borrowed this problem from you. What's wrong with you? Don't you remember a little bit about it? He talked about it. I'm not sure if I should ask this to all of you. I'm asking you that. He couldn't do directly, never believe in God. He should, or has to, use means like me, like him, like God, but he wants to. So he uses means of the Holy Spirit. And so, Joshua, although he's persuaded, and I believe, he trusts that God will deliver the city to himself, yet he uses the normal means of background knowledge. And so he sent his men into the city. And they come into the city, and he told they came to a harlot's house. In the providence of God, they come to this particular house, and they're told by a prostitute. Now, can you tell the difference? Was she really a prostitute? He says, harlot. or a plantation in India. That is a Jewish tradition. What is that? It's the folk saying, well, it's not actually a prostitute, it's a warrior. You can give her a harlot, you know. It's more like get a small hotel. Now, I don't think we have anything between the second edition Let's look at the word common. What if I've made a little mistake? Here's an example of what is common. Remember, this is all I can say to you before we pray. And the word in the Hebrew and the word in the Greek in the New Testament, both are words used of a common connotation. And in fact, when it comes to the New Testament, you will know the word because it's part of it. And maybe that's one example. There's no doubt about this. So the next question is, why did they go to a prostitute's house? They thought it was nice, all right. I don't know whether they'd like to work outside, but if they were there deliberately or not, and then accidentally, I would say they went there deliberately knowing it was a prostitute's house. But not for the purposes of prostitution. I would suggest that they were going there because the place where they came from came and went and there were activities made up for and therefore they felt that they would not be so recognized or noticed as they were elsewhere. So it's a temporary property. They went there because God sometimes uses truth, faith, I have a lovely story. I have a lovely story. It's a very good one. It's a very good story. It's a very good story. It's a very good story. And then I said, well, I apologize. I have a friend like you. He said, well, I can't afford it. He said, well, you just have to ask for it. I said, oh, well, why do you have to take care of me? I have to get through a bad time. He said, well, you don't have to. He said, well, you don't have to. He said, well, you can use the same thing. I said, oh, well, no, I'm sorry. I've got to revise my notes a little bit. Anyway, he gets back to school. He's smart, and the water is clean. No, I'm not surprised because it's not a stick at all, it's just that male and female are just independent. So... So, not it would have overruled all this time, but it wasn't overruled in any public, never public. So, here he comes. After all they got him steeped in, right, and told him what he wanted to do, suddenly he found himself in this strange little house. Not a lot of strange men back then, but just a strange little stranger. So, he made his stand, and told him, probably, who that house could play out. What? What? You open the gate and that's it. Q. Sir, I have a question. You can't in any way do what he said. He said, we're here to do, now we're not here to do what he said. So, it's not to do what he said. On the lowest level, you could say, well, you're a bigot. You have to stay, you have to obey, you have to obey the truth. It doesn't have to be connection to anything, but maybe there is a possibility to just completely get rid of thoughts and become free. That's actually a good thing. You can talk about it, talk about it, talk about it. Maybe you can make a piece of character or something Now, the same thing I teach you now, well, it doesn't mean you're white, but by your life, you've got to know that there is what I would say is what they call a doctor, a nurse, a guru. I would say to you that when you've got a choice between truly having all this knowledge, What can we do? Now, most of us have heard of the Kali Yuga. But they haven't heard of the Kali Yuga. This is not exactly the right question. It's the way you wear, what shoes you dress up and it was a horrible, horrible time. You have heard of the sound of the bell, the sound of the bell, the sound of the bell, the sound of the bell, the sound of the bell, the sound of the bell, the sound of the bell, the sound of the bell, the sound of the bell, the sound of the bell, the sound of the bell, the sound of the bell, the sound of the bell, the sound of the bell, the sound of the bell, the sound of the bell, the sound of the bell, the sound of the bell, the sound of the bell, the sound of the bell, the sound of the bell, the sound of the bell, the sound of the bell, the sound of the bell, the sound of the bell, the sound of the bell, the sound of the bell, the sound of the bell, the sound of the bell, the sound of the bell, the sound of the bell, the sound of the bell, the sound of the bell, the All of them are suffering. You are really suffering. On the other hand, you are doing good for others, for others. I don't know if you know it, but say it. Okay. Okay. Okay. Last one. Now, I'm saying this because of some of the stress we have all, you know, we ride, we go to the bathroom and everything, but it's a difficult one. And it's only a difficult one in these kind of circumstances. This is not to say we don't have good, you know, kind of a architect of the universe, but those who do, they are not of the nature of human beings. But another more modern example, a new example, was of Harald van Gogh. He was a Dutchman who saved the life of Hans de Vries and Louis de Gaulle. I think he would jump back in the world even in 1893 when Louis de Gaulle was killed in a public funeral, a public funeral. All of a sudden, she's out of breath. Now, she's in her room. Now, you could use a vision of it. You could use a vision of what she's in the room. But she, in her defense, is saying, it's not there. And she says, yes, it's there. But it's only a spot in the room. But it's not in the room. Now, so now we'll come into the, what I call, the practice of this. She came, I said, we have to go to the professor. I'm very mindful of what I said. Maybe she had found a file that was very, very important in her life. So let's go to the first one. Then she said to him, I'm told you that the Lord has given you the land and that you're terrorists all upon us and all encumbered in the land. He said, I know, I'm persuading the Lord to remove us, give us this land. Terrorists all, they're lazy, foolish. How does she know? Is there a pain in saying it? You don't believe those things? How does she know? Well, first of all, tell us, for we have heard how the Lord, right at the Red Sea, knew that you came out of Egypt, and what he did to the two kings of Yarmouk, on the other side of the Jordan, and how that was destroyed. And as soon as we had heard these things, our hearts were filled, neither could there be any more courage in any man because of you, for the Lord, your God, is God in heaven above, and the earth beneath. We have heard, for how have we heard? For obviously, God had used And they would come into Jericho, and they would chat in the marketplace, and they would chat with other folk, and they would say, what's going on in other places? And the people in Germany said, well, what's happening down south? What's happening up north? And they were saying, well, the big story is that these people, there's hundreds of thousands of them, these people who were slaves in Egypt for 400 years, they have suddenly, they left them there and they've wandered around for 400 years and now they're coming out and there's hundreds of thousands of them. And they've been led by a man called Joshua. And they've only got one God. One God. You're a big people, you're a great people, you're lots of gods, hundreds of gods, a people of the Divine God, even a very poor people of the Divine God. And this God of the earth, they call Him Yahweh, of the woman, this God of the earth seems to be doing amazing miraculous things. He divined the well to see if people walked across it. Oh, there must have been a wind, and there must have been a kind of a season of it. Well, I mean, yes, God willed the wind, God caused the wind, but then as he got clear and bare on his horses, the wind changed, and they all ran. And it was these things, sire and all, fighting men, big arms. And this is going to be a great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great The great question is, why would God move into the heart of such a person? Did he somehow, some way, look for the worst person in general and said that's the person in whom I will work so my grace might be glorified and magnified in the centuries to come as people look back and find out about this woman who was a prostitute but became an ancestor who was the beginning of my son? You see, not in the way that we have at home, but in the way that we live. That is really all the time that we do whatever we need to do, but it's not the only time. You see, now that I'm here, it's not just me. I'm afraid of solitude. Good people, morally good people Our trouble is that they're busy because they are so good and so respected, they feel they don't need to be seen. It's all just slurred in front of you, isn't it? You're just keeping it tidy. It's a little bit nasty, isn't it? I just don't know whether it's a good thing or a bad thing. I keep it clean, so it's nice. Every other thing. There is. There is. There is. There is. A pattern of being. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't We are concerned that the war is over and the United States is in a position to declare war on Afghanistan. We are concerned that the United States is in a position to declare war on Afghanistan. It's very important. Why garden people live like this every day? There's an open paper, you know, by walks of path for the people at least and they're not going to have, you know, they don't know who to write to, they don't know who to ask for help. Anyway, so, this is why then, as we go on, we go a little deeper. With speed. Thought is not around. May we bow. May we bow. May we bow. May we bow. Because this God seems to be unstoppable, and he's moving towards us. He's moving towards us, and he's unstoppable, and nobody and nothing can stop him. And he's going to come to our door, and what are we going to do? Well, Father, thank you that we have a rare beginning. We pray, Father, that you help us to be realists behind all that happens in the face of God. We, in the name of the Kingdom of God, order you to be realists. So I saw that I'm not around for the last ten seconds, but there is a need in me, a need. The hour of the hour has come, I will face the time. Whenever we were together, we always lived together. I'm not really certain it's going to be the same. I think it will be the right time, depending on the need. Oh Allah, we haven't deserved it, haven't deserved it. We will be at the same level as them. I'm telling you. We will be at the same level as them. I'm telling you. We will be at the same level as them. I'm telling you. We will be at the same level as them. I'm telling you. We will be at the same level as them. I'm telling you. We will be at the same level as them. I'm telling you. We will be at the same level as them. I'm telling you. We will be at the same level as them. I'm telling you. We will be at the same level as them. I'm telling you. We will be at the same level as them. I'm telling you. We will be at the same level as them. I'm telling you. We will be at the same level as them. I'm telling you. We will be at the same level as them. I'm telling you. We will be at the same level as them. I'm telling you. My heart is one with His arms, and the center of my heart is perpetual.
