Hope in Achor

“But the children of Israel committed a trespass in the accursed thing: for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of the accursed thing: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against the children of Israel.

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 7:1, 24-27)

Achan - a type of Christ: Now we know that Achan was a sinner and was guilty of his sin. He took of the spoil and disobeyed God’s command, and was worthy of his sentence. But Jesus Christ was and is the Sinless Son of God. He lived in perfect obedience to God’s law. He alone honored God in every thought, word, and deed.

It is not the life of Achan that pictures Christ, but rather the death of Achan. In Hosea, the Lord promises to all that He calls to salvation that He will give “the valley of Achor as a door of Hope…” (Hosea 2:15) How is the place where Achan died a “door of Hope”? Because, it points to the death of the Lord Jesus Christ. It was only when Achan died that that Anger of the Lord was turned. (Joshua 7:26)

So it was only by the death of the Lord Jesus Christ that the anger of God was turned from His elect. God imputed the sins of His elect on Jesus His Son, so that He was made to bear them in His own body on the tree. And when He died for sin, God’s justice was satisfied.

All who believe in Jesus Christ have this hope of Achor. By His one offering, Jesus made them perfect before God. (Heb 10:14) Therefore, God says to us who believe “Fear not nor be dismayed” (Joshua 8:1) If any man desire peace with God, it will only be found in the death of Jesus Christ. He alone is the door of hope for sinners.

Praise God for the valley of Achor which is a door of Hope.
