In ancient Jericho, Rahab tied a scarlet cord in the window. The Hebrew word for cord in Joshua 2:21 is not the usual word for cord. In Hebrew, her cord is Tikvah, and Tikvah means hope. There is not only hope in Rahab’s window. There is hope everywhere in scripture where the scarlet cord marks the scene. This teaching opens up the Hebrew word Tikvah, meaning hope, and traces the scarlet cord from Genesis to the Messiah Jesus (Yeshua).
