The first time we hear of it in Scripture is not a happy time. Yahshua was giving the
city of Jericho into the hands of Israel, but had instructed them not to take of the
accursed things in the city. Yet Achan (which means troubler in Hebrew) did just
that and brought a curse upon all of Israel. When found out, Yahshua led Joshua to
do the following:
"And Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, and the silver,
and the garment, and the wedge of gold, and his sons, and his daughters, and his
oxen, and his asses, and his sheep, and his tent, and all that he had: and they
brought them unto the valley of Achor.
And Joshua said, Why hast thou troubled us? The LORD shall trouble thee this day.
And all Israel stoned him with stones, and burned them with fire, after they had
stoned them with stones. And they raised over him a great heap of stones unto this
day. So the LORD turned from the fierceness of his anger. Wherefore the name of
that place was called, The valley of Achor, unto this day." Joshua 7:24- 26
And so I asked the Lord, "Why is this valley "a door of hope"? Where is the hope in
this? Why is this the door through which we must enter to receive Yahshua's
blessings?"
"Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man
love the world, the love of the Father is not in him." I John 2:15
The valley of Achor is associated with Israel's release from the world: both their
captivity to it (outward bondage of Egypt in Hosea 2) and their love for the things in
it (inward bondage of Achan in Joshua 7). The valley of Achor represents our
deliverance. It is the "door of hope" that we - like - can overcome the world and all
that is in it, so that we may enter into the promises of the Father!
"Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold,
but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. But he that
entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the porter openeth;
and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth
them out...Then said Yahshua Meshiach unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto
you, I am the door of the sheep. All that ever came before me are thieves and
robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. I am the door: by me if any man enter in,
he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture." John 10:1-3, 7-9
Yahshua Meshiach is the door; He is leading us out...out from the bondage of the
world. He is our hope in that He is our Deliverer (Hebrews 6:17-20; I Timothy 1:1).
He is the means by which we are freed from enslavement to the world, and thereby
from the Yahshua who rules it (II Corinthians 4:4).
"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... Joshua 2:18
And she said, According unto your words, so be it. And she sent them away, and
they departed: and she bound the scarlet line in the window...
And Joshua saved Rahab the harlot alive, and her father's household, and
all that she had; and she dwelleth in Israel even unto this day; because
she hid the messengers, which Joshua sent to spy out Jericho." Joshua 6:25
The word "line" in the above text is the same as the word translated "hope" in
Hosea describing the Valley of Achor. We are saved by hope (Romans 8:24)!
Rahab's hope allowed her to be transformed from a harlot to a woman of faith, even
becoming one of the ancestors of Yahshua Meshiach (Matthew 1:5). As we saw in
Hosea, Yahshua's love is able to transform even those with the heart of a harlot into
pure brides for . There is a journey that Yahshua is taking every ian through;
molding us into a Bride without spot or blemish. This is the power of Yahshua's
salvation.
Hold on to the promise...hold on to the hope...hold on to the blood-stained, threefold cord which is an anchor to our souls and binds us to , making us His own. The
valley of Achor is a door of hope for it is the path to our deliverance.
"I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of
the living. Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine
heart: wait, I say, on the LORD." Psalms 27:13-14
"Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. For
I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me. Against
thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou
mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou
judgest."
Psalm 51:2-4
"Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt
make me to know wisdom. Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me,
and I shall be whiter than snow. "
Psalm 51:6-7
"Create in me a clean heart, O Yahshua; and renew a right spirit within
me. Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from
me. Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free
spirit. Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be
converted unto thee." Psalm 51:10-13

We believe the time for redemption, restitution and restoration has come, to that
which was once a valley controlled by the powers of darkness, death and
destruction, to be raised up as a valley of Hope
A new Way of Life Arise (from the depression and prostration in which
circumstances have kept you rise to a new life)! Shine (be radiant with the glory of
the Lord), for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you!

rising.. (Isaiah 60)

find it.
