VIII. MAIN BODY:

Joshua 7:24 (Amplified Bible)

And Joshua and all Israel with him took Achan son of Zerah, and the silver, the garment, the wedge of gold, his sons, his daughters, his oxen, his donkeys, his sheep, his tent, and all that he had; and they brought them to the Valley of Achor.

Joshua 7:24 (Amplified Bible)

And Joshua and all Israel with him took Achan son of Zerah, and the silver, the garment, the wedge of gold, his sons, his daughters, his oxen, his donkeys, his sheep, his tent, and all that he had; and they brought them to the Valley of Achor.

A. Joshua took Achan with his gold and entire household

"And Joshua and all Israel with him took Achan son of Zerah, and the silver, the garment, the wedge of gold, his sons, his daughters, his oxen, his donkeys, his sheep, his tent, and all that he had;"

After the word "took", there's the signature of the ALEPH-TAV, the FIRST and the LAST, the BEGINNING and the END, the ALPHA and OMEGA.

It now gives the word "took" special meaning initiated by the LORD. It was never Joshua who took or carry away Achan from among the people but it was JESUS.

1 Timothy 6:9-10 (Amplified Bible)

But those who crave to be rich fall into temptation and a snare and into many foolish (useless, godless) and hurtful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction and miserable perishing.

For the love of money is a root of all evils; it is through this craving that some have been led astray and have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves through with many acute [mental] pangs.

So the people will not be diluted with evil and love for money, Achan has to be separated from the people and die a horrible death.

Ezekiel 22:13-14 (Amplified Bible)

Behold therefore, I have struck My hands together at your dishonest gain which you have made and at the blood which has been in the midst of you.

Can your heart and courage endure or can your hands be strong in the days that I shall deal with you? I the Lord have spoken it, and I will do it.

Ecclesiastes 5:13 (Amplified Bible)

There is a serious and severe evil which I have seen under the sun: riches were kept by their owner to his hurt.

Proverbs 15:27 (Amplified Bible)

He who is greedy for unjust gain troubles his own household, but he who hates bribes will live.

Job 20:15 (Amplified Bible)

He has swallowed down [his ill-gotten] riches, and he shall vomit them up again; God will cast them out of his belly.

Achan died a horrible death because of his own fault, he has swallowed ill-gotten riches, now GOD (the LORD JESUS CHRIST) has already casted him out of his belly. The LORD desires us to make as our Treasure not the money of this world.

Matthew 6:21 (Amplified Bible)

For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

Make JESUS as our own only Treasure and focus our eyes on Him alone.

Luke 6:45 (Amplified Bible)

The upright (honorable, intrinsically good) man out of the good treasure [stored] in his heart produces what is upright (honorable and intrinsically good), and the evil man out of the evil storehouse brings forth that which is depraved (wicked and intrinsically evil); for out of the abundance (overflow) of the heart his mouth speaks.

Hebrews 12:2 (Amplified Bible)

Looking away [from all that will distract] to Jesus, Who is the Leader and the Source of our faith [giving the first incentive for our belief] and is also its Finisher [bringing it to maturity and perfection]. He, for the joy [of obtaining the prize] that was set before Him, endured the cross, despising and ignoring the shame, and is now seated at the right hand of the throne of God.

B. They brought Achan to trouble valley

"and they brought them to the Valley of Achor"

Remember the word saying if you go look for trouble, trouble will find you?

Proverbs 11:27 (Amplified Bible)

He who diligently seeks good seeks [God’s] favor, but he who searches after evil, it shall come upon him.

Proverbs 11:27 (The Message)

The one who seeks good finds delight; the student of evil becomes evil.

Proverbs 17:20 (Amplified Bible)

He who has a wayward and crooked mind finds no good, and he who has a willful and contrary tongue will fall into calamity.

Proverbs 17:20 (The Message)

A bad motive can't achieve a good end; double-talk brings you double trouble.

Troublesome people will get into trouble.

Joshua 7:26 (Amplified Bible)

And they raised over him a great heap of stones that remains to this day. Then the Lord turned from the fierceness of His anger. Therefore the name of that place has been called the Valley of Achor or Troubling to this day.

The trouble stopped when the troublesome Achan died and stopped to ceast. Now he's facing second death in hell.

This is how GOD protects us in this troublesome world.

Proverbs 11:8 (Amplified Bible)

The [uncompromisingly] righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked gets into it instead.

Proverbs 12:13 (Amplified Bible)

The wicked is [dangerously] snared by the transgression of his lips, but the [uncompromisingly] righteous shall come out of trouble.

Proverbs 15:6 (Amplified Bible)

In the house of the [uncompromisingly] righteous is great [priceless] treasure, but with the income of the wicked is trouble and vexation.

IX. CONCLUSION:

Praise, worship, glorify, adore, bless, honor, acknowledge and thank You very much LORD JESUS for we are daily delivered from trouble because of You.
