What Does Joshua 2:21 Mean?
Rahab accepts every condition with simple words of consent: according to your words, so be it. She sends the men on their way, and then, without delay, binds the scarlet line in her window. She does at once what she has been told.
Her immediate obedience is the mark of living faith. She does not wait for the army to appear before acting on the promise; she ties the cord while the danger is still distant. Faith takes God at His word and acts upon it now. The scarlet thread in her window becomes a quiet, daily testimony that she is trusting in the deliverance to come.
