Joshua 2:18-19
Behold, when we come into the land, thou shalt bind this line of scarlet thread in the window which thou didst let us down by: and thou shalt bring thy father, and thy mother, and thy brethren, and all thy father’s household, home unto thee.
[19] And it shall be, that whosoever shall go out of the doors of thy house into the street, his blood shall be upon his head, and we will be guiltless: and whosoever shall be with thee in the house, his blood shall be on our head, if any hand be upon him.
Protection for God’s children from generation to generation has always been by the blood. This protocol still stands till today. From the anchor scripture, Rahab and all her family were preserved and kept safe by the scarlet thread which represents the blood of Jesus.
This protocol was also deployed in the time of Moses during the Passover for the protection of the children of Israel against death. Exodus 12:23-24 For the Lord will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the Lord will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you. [24] And ye shall observe this thing for an ordinance to thee and to thy sons forever.
Protection for us today is in the communion. It is the New Testament and covenant for all of God’s children. John 6:54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
And JESUS also said do this as often in remembrance of me.
We have to intentionally start doing and teaching this practice to our children so that they too will teach their children and this way God’s kingdom is built and passed down to a thousand and more generations after us. God has not called us to be like Noah, Daniel and Job who saved only themselves but not their children.
Judges 2:10-12 And also all that generation were gathered unto their fathers: and there arose another generation after them, which knew not the Lord, nor yet the works which he had done for Israel. [11] And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord, and served Baalim: [12] And they forsook the Lord God of their fathers, which brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of the people that were round about them, and bowed themselves unto them, and provoked the Lord to anger.
Jesus is counting on you and me and the whole church to teach our children about Him. Teach them how to pray, teach them how to study the scriptures to know truth for themselves. Thank you JESUS for revealing truth today🔥🔥🔥
All words are inspired by the Holy Spirit, I pray it takes root in our hearts and bears fruit In JESUS mighty name.
