Rahab

His company was named Rahab and Endor, apparently after two controversial women of scripture.

Rahab believed in God first, and, therefore, accepted the Israelitish conquest and adopted the nationality of the conquerors.

By faith Rahab the harlot perished not with them that were disobedient, having received the spies with peace.

We have to notice further in Rahab a determination to throw in her lot with the people of God.

Rahab had never seen the Divine image in any purer form than it appeared in Joshua and men and women like-minded with him.

It has not been the lot of Rahab to share the devout interest which has been lavished on Mary Magdalene.
