And God honored this whole ordeal by saving her and her family in the battle, marrying her into the nation of Israel, and putting her into the lineage of Jesus.

To be more specific, Rahab becomes the mother of Boaz. This leads to an observation that is lost on most people reading the book of Ruth. Boaz is wealthy, prosperous, kind, and Godly. So why is he single?--you would think that he would be the perfect "catch." But there is that one not-so-hidden aspect: he is the son of Salmon, one of the Jericho spies, and Rahab, the Jericho madam running a brothel. The only woman who didn't care about his background was the woman who had a foreign background of her own, Ruth. (Which, incidentally, makes Obed, their son and the grandfather of David, only 1/4 Hebrew. God was telling us His salvation was going to be for both Jew and Gentile long before the early church made it so.)

“Sex worker’’?

No such thing. Whore, slut, prostitute. In Jericho's time:harlot.

God honored real faith in God, Jew or Gentile, before and after Abraham’s decendents became known as Jews.

The Heavenly Father NEVER called Rahab a hooker/harlot/prostitute…. She was a ‘flax’ linen business ‘woman’. She hid the spies on her roof top amongst her drying flax….
