"And Joshua the son of Nun sent out of Shittim two men to spy secretly, saying , Go view the land, even Jericho. And they went , and came into an harlot's house *, named Rahab, and lodged there.
And it was told the king of Jericho, saying , Behold, there came men in hither to night of the children of Israel to search out the country.
And the king of Jericho sent unto Rahab, saying , Bring forth the men that are come to thee, which are entered into thine house: for they be come to search out all the country."
Joshua 2:1-3
Hidden treasures and secret things are the glory of kings. It's these times when we may hear comments like,,,, how do we know that Elohiym (God) inspired men to write the Bible?
We beseech everyone to no longer skim the surface! The joy of our salvation and the Redeemer of our souls are contained in messages beyond our reasoning. Does that mean they are not there? No way! This is the love of a Father, thee Father that leaves his children wonderful inherited gems. It's up to us to make them important enough to seek.
We saw how Joshua got called and chosen for this office, we watched him get a name change, We saw him gather Elohiyms people, all of the 12 tribes plus some, don't forget about Ephraim and Manasseh the sons of Joseph who are adopted and included in the inheritance of their Father Israel (Jacob) , So this make 14 tribes, not just 12.
This is important to know,,,,
Fourteen =Deliverance and Salvation
Israel was delivered the fourteenth day of the first month
Matthew records 14 generations from Abraham to David
14 generations from David to the carrying away into Babylon
14 generations from the carrying away into Babylon to Messiah,
The Anointing which is our deliverer
As you see this plays out over and over again, and was a clue to our Salvation walk. So we have two important symbolic factors here. We know about the twelve it represents,,,,
Governmental Rule of "King and Queen" Abraham and Sarah, Messiah and his Bride (1 + 2 = 3), the Triangle - The Mystery, Governmental Perfection by Divine Authority, also the 11 + 1 = 12 (two witnesses unified in one Messiah) - the "other two on one side of the bank of the river and on the other side of the bank of the river in Daniel 12:5" ?)
Keep these things and ponder them. For the journey we are about to take is not for the faint of heart. May we see today just how perfect the Word of Elohiym (God) truly is!!!
For this my friends is the beginning of Salvation walks and journey to the promised land. It is here we use our tools.
And Joshua the son of Nun sent out of Shittim two men to spy secretly, saying , Go view the land, even Jericho. And they went , and came into an harlot's house *, named Rahab, and lodged there. (beginning verse)
Joshua=Yahoshua=YHVH is Salvation
Our Adonai can be seen all the way through the bible and his relationship with his people. This is about Him! Watch!
Son of Nun- Nun="fish" or "posterity"
posterity=(webster)-The offspring of one progenitor to the furthest generation, and to all future generations.
sent=Shalachto= send, send away, let go, stretch out
out of Shittiym="the acacias" (origin) Shittah=meaning the sticks of wood (root)Shotet=

Are you seeing this? Our Elohiym (God), our Salvation. The true Fisher of men, out of the sea of the world. Sent out, stretched out on two sticks of wood. Not just any wood. Acacia wood,,,,,,
Shittim: In the Bible, it is called “shittim”. Chosen above all others, shittim was the wood which Elohiym (God) commanded Moses to use to create the Ark of the Covenant into which Moses placed the 2 stone tablets upon which The 10 Commandments were carved.
Ark of the Covenant: The entire chapter of Exodus 37 is devoted to the creation of the Ark of the Covenant. The Ark was first constructed of shittim wood and then overlaid with gold before being placed into the Holy of Holies (Sanctum Sanctorum) in Solomon's Temple.
The wood of the Ark of the Covenant. Where the tablets of the law resided, where the power of the glory (Shekinah) of the Adonai touched and abides. Where the cherubim and the mercy seat resided. Halleluyah!!! And we have'nt even finished the first sentence of the chapter!
He was scourged and pierced. This is the beginning of a wonderful love story, the wonderment of the glory of our Salvation in the Cross! This wood represents durability, and endurance and strength. Its also "thorny".
John 19:2 KJV
And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe.

For who?
men=enowsh-(root)=anash=to be weak, sick, frail.

Lets review what we have just witnessed,,,,,
The Salvation of YHVH the Son of his posterity, His offspring for all future generations especially chosen,, one who would endure and be strong, would be sent and stretched out on two pieces of wood, he would be scourged and pierced. He is adorned with thorns which represents sin. He is the Ark of the Covenant that have all the commandments of Elohiym within him. He is anointed, his is the seat of mercy. He is sent for all the tribes of Israel (the 12) and sent for Salvation and Deliverance (the 14). He is sent to secretly (to change and alter) the men that cry out the name of the Adonai, that are weak and frail and sick in sin and bondage. He is sent as a proper witness with the evidence presented by the Father and Son, and for all men to know, and to be able to say to the heart of men, the commands and promises intended. Halleluyah and Halleluyah!!!
This is the story of our lifes walk! The One and only Messiah and his works for all of us to bear witness of now. Search the scriptures, see the divine heart of Elohiym (God). Still think this is just a book? This is the foundation and the revelation of YHVH for all of mankind a hope and a future.
And my goodness there is so much more! We could do this and see Him in every mark and stroke of print. Look for yourselves while we are there, are you not crying out the name of the Adonai (Lord), have we not received his deliverance's and his salvation? Until our next installment, which takes us from faith to faith and glory to glory, think on this Salvation walk let it penetrate the very soul. May our spirit be rejoicing and our hearts full, for the wonderous and marvelous works of our Elohiym (God) are unending to those of eternity. This is a building of New Life. Our journey from Shittiym, Lets walk to the promised land together!
