Jericho and Rahab's Deal

Joshua 2

Now Joshua the son of Nun sent out two men from Acacia Grove to spy secretly, saying, “Go, view the land, especially Jericho.” So they went, and came to the house of a harlot named Rahab, and lodged there.
2 And it was told the king of Jericho, saying, “Behold, men have come here tonight from the children of Israel to search out the country.”
3 So the king of Jericho sent to Rahab, saying, “Bring out the men who have come to you, who have entered your house, for they have come to search out all the country.”
4 Then the woman took the two men and hid them. So she said, “Yes, the men came to me, but I did not know where they were from.
5 And it happened as the gate was being shut, when it was dark, that the men went out. Where the men went I do not know; pursue them quickly, for you may overtake them.”
6 (But she had brought them up to the roof and hidden them with the stalks of flax, which she had laid in order on the roof.)
7 Then the men pursued them by the road to the Jordan, to the fords. And as soon as those who pursued them had gone out, they shut the gate.
8 Now before they lay down, she came up to them on the roof,
9 and said to the men: “I know that the Lord has given you the land, that the terror of you has fallen on us, and that all the inhabitants of the land are fainthearted because of you.
10 For we have heard how the Lord dried up the water of the Red Sea for you when you came out of Egypt, and what you did to the two kings of the Amorites who were on the other side of the Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom you utterly destroyed.
11 And as soon as we heard these things, our hearts melted; neither did there remain any more courage in anyone because of you, for the Lord your God, He is God in heaven above and on earth beneath.
12 Now therefore, I beg you, swear to me by the Lord, since I have shown you kindness, that you also will show kindness to my father’s house, and give me a true token,
13 and spare my father, my mother, my brothers, my sisters, and all that they have, and deliver our lives from death.”
14 So the men answered her, “Our lives for yours, if none of you tell this business of ours. And it shall be, when the Lord has given us the land, that we will deal kindly and truly with you.”
15 Then she let them down by a rope through the window, for her house was on the city wall; she dwelt on the wall.
16 And she said to them, “Get to the mountain, lest the pursuers meet you. Hide there three days, until the pursuers have returned. Afterward you may go your way.”
17 So the men said to her: “We will be blameless of this oath of yours which you have made us swear,
18 unless, when we come into the land, you bind this line of scarlet cord in the window through which you let us down, and unless you bring your father, your mother, your brothers, and all your father’s household to your own home.
19 So it shall be that whoever goes outside the doors of your house into the street, his blood shall be on his own head, and we will be guiltless. And whoever is with you in the house, his blood shall be on our head if a hand is laid on him.
20 And if you tell this business of ours, then we will be free from your oath which you made us swear.”
21 Then she said, “According to your words, so be it.” And she sent them away, and they departed. And she bound the scarlet cord in the window.
22 They departed and went to the mountain, and stayed there three days until the pursuers returned. The pursuers sought them all along the way, but did not find them.
23 So the two men returned, descended from the mountain, and crossed over; and they came to Joshua the son of Nun, and told him all that had befallen them.
24 And they said to Joshua, “Truly the Lord has delivered all the land into our hands, for indeed all the inhabitants of the country are fainthearted because of us.”

Reggio Calabria Italy

Reggio di Calabria, commonly and officially referred to as Reggio Calabria, or simply Reggio by its inhabitants, is the largest city in Calabria as well as the seat of the Metropolitan City of Reggio Calabria. As of 2025, it has 168,572 inhabitants and is the twenty-first most populous city in Italy, after Modena. Reggio Calabria is located near the center of the Mediterranean and is known for its climate, and ethnic and cultural diversity. It is the third economic centre of mainland Southern Italy. About 511,935 people live in its metropolitan city.
Reggio is located on the "toe" of the Italian Peninsula and is separated from the island of Sicily by the Strait of Messina. It is situated on the slopes of the Aspromonte, a long, craggy mountain range that runs up through the centre of the region.
As a major functional pole in the region, it has strong historical, cultural and economic ties with the city of Messina, which lies across the strait in Sicily, forming a metro city of less than 1 million people. Reggio is the oldest city in the region.

Reggio is where my paternal family is from. Sadly, I never had the chance to visit, but my younger brother did.

My paternal ancestry

I sure hope that members of my enlarged family (cousins) see this, as I'm sharing this precisely for them.
20% of Southern Italians Share this genetic marker: M176. They migrated from the Middle East. In my case, my early ancestors lived in the area of Jericho. Those 20% Southern Italians come from the once Kingdom of Israel (1,100 BC.), that split in two (974 BC.), to yield the Kingdom of Judah in the south. The northern Kingdom of Israel was 1st to be invaded and conquered by the Assyrians (750 BC.). Later, the southern Kingdom of Judah was utterly destroyed by the Babylonians around 600 B.C. The survivors fled, hid, or were taken captive.
A year or more ago, I had asked the Lord in a prayer, If it was true that I was of Benjamin, and he did answer me, with a sharp and brief yes, even before I had finished my words. (some may scoff at this, but...)

Interestingly, my maternal ancestry is Ashkenazi Jew. That was done by an other company that was affiliated with Nat. Geo., at the request of my daughter.

Getting into the flow from heaven - John Fenn

Luke 11

“When you pray, say:

Our Father in heaven,
Hallowed be Your name.
Your kingdom come.
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.
3 Give us day by day our daily bread.
4 And forgive us our sins,
For we also forgive everyone who is indebted to us.
And do not lead us into temptation,
But deliver us from the evil one.”

HELL IS REAL!: WORD FROM ABBA FATHER (20th Apr)

Another word from Abba Father concerning the family and all of our responsibilities within them for which our Lord ordained from the beginning. The enemy is working very hard and is winning to break up a lot of families, but this is leaving many exposed to the enemy and especially the children are very vulnerable.

DISINFORMATION CAMPAIGN TARGETS WOMEN

Why are people who got the vaccine complaining about disruptions and resumptions of periods and problems with fertility?
Former Republican congressional candidate DeAnna Lorraine joins Stew to discuss this and more medical madness which have come from the mandates and mass vaxxing.

Menstrual cycle irregularities can have many different causes, including:

• Pregnancy or breast-feeding. A missed period can be an early sign of pregnancy. Breast-feeding typically delays the return of menstruation after pregnancy.
• Eating disorders, extreme weight loss or excessive exercising. Eating disorders — such as anorexia nervosa — extreme weight loss and increased physical activity can disrupt menstruation.
• Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Women with this common endocrine system disorder may have irregular periods as well as enlarged ovaries that contain small collections of fluid — called follicles — located in each ovary as seen during an ultrasound exam.
• Premature ovarian failure. Premature ovarian failure refers to the loss of normal ovarian function before age 40. Women who have premature ovarian failure — also known as primary ovarian insufficiency — might have irregular or occasional periods for years.
• Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). This infection of the reproductive organs can cause irregular menstrual bleeding.
• Uterine fibroids. Uterine fibroids are noncancerous growths of the uterus. They can cause heavy menstrual periods and prolonged menstrual periods.

The Heroes of the Covid Saga

California State Assembly bill would BAN the Bible!

California is at it again.
Now they are attacking the 1st Amendment.
They are about to introduce censorship.
What? Soon the book burnings?

Amendment I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Why would they want to ban the Bible? 

The Bible is filled with Laws and Rules that go against specific ideologies.
Just to state a few:

Leviticus 18:22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
Leviticus 20:13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
Deuteronomy 22:5 The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the Lord thy God.

Proverbs 24:9 The thought of foolishness is sin: and the scorner is an abomination to men. 

Jeremiah 13:27 I have seen thine adulteries, and thy neighings, the lewdness of thy whoredom, and thine abominations on the hills in the fields. 

Ezekiel 16:36 Thus saith the Lord God; Because thy filthiness was poured out, and thy nakedness discovered through thy whoredoms with thy lovers, and with all the idols of thy abominations, and by the blood of thy children, which thou didst give unto them; 

Ezekiel 22:11 And one hath committed abomination with his neighbour's wife; and another hath lewdly defiled his daughter in law; and another in thee hath humbled his sister, his father's daughter. 

How many State Capitols have already removed the Ten Commandments? 

10 Commandments are such a bother to them.

In light of what California is trying to do in eventually banning the Bible , I can understand why. The Bible is opposed to most depravity that, in part has originated from the State that houses Hollywood, and Silicon Valley's rich and immoral people.

It has been discovered recently by the Hunters of Child trafficking, that the top white collars of the Tech Companies whom strive there, are avid users of Children for too many means.

🔷 Why is Silicon Valley panicking at the exposure of child sex trafficking in the USA⁉️ Social media platforms are frantically deleting MILLIONS of followers, likes & shares supporting our children against... https://t.co/qz4woHgF87
