Joshua 6:17-19 Devoted to Destruction

 17Now the city and everything in it must be devoted to the LORD for destruction. Only Rahab the prostitute and all those with her in her house will live, because she hid the spies we sent. 18But keep away from the things devoted to destruction, lest you yourself be set apart for destruction. If you take any of these, you will set apart the camp of Israel for destruction and bring disaster upon it. 19For all the silver and gold and all the articles of bronze and iron are holy to the LORD; they must go into His treasury.”

“Joshua is careful to take care of Rahab. Her faith in the living God would find support from God’s people.” (Guzik)

“The severe judgment that is brought against Jericho, and all of Canaan didn’t come because they were in the “way” of God’s people. It came because this was a people who were in total rebellion against God and in league with the occult, as the artifacts recovered from this period demonstrate.” (Guzik)

Devoted to destruction 

What does the Lord God consider Total rebellion?

When the government turns from God?

When the schools remove God?

When the people turn to the occult?

What will artifacts say about our culture?

Dear Heavenly Father, I lift up our country to You and ask for mercy. You are in control and there’s no other god like You. Please bless and protect Your children and use today’s events to draw people to You. In Jesus name I pray. Amen
