Oh, you're very welcome. You want a prostitute, you have one. :)
Rahab was a prostitute in Jericho when the Israelites were getting ready to invade the land. She had heard the stories of how the Israelites' God had delivered them out of Egypt, and of the things that happened to the people who opposed Israel. Rahab thought of her survival, and when the Israelite spies came to her door she hid them from her own king. She made a deal with them. She would hide them and help them escape Jericho in exchange for her life and the lives of her family. The deal was made and so was history. The Israelites did invade Jericho and Rahab and her family were spared.
Paul takes care to always mention Priscilla, wife of Aquila, who risked her life for his (Romans 16:9). Another one in the NT that comes to mind is Tabitha.
Tabitha was an extremely kind woman who knew no limits with her acts of kindness and charity (Acts 9:36). When she died, those who loved her heard Jesus' disciple Peter was near and sent for him. Peter sent everyone out of the room and took Tabitha's hand and raised her from the dead. What is so impressive about Tabitha? The brief mention of her exemplary life. She was a woman sorely missed by all which is why Peter was sent for in the first place, and it was her being raised from the dead that led many people to Christianity.
It has been a joy to chat with you and actually you have helped me remember alot of things about great women in scripture.
Do not forget that Rahab is in the lineage of Jesus Christ, as was Bathsheba the adulteress.
Shalom.
