12th in Series - Jesus in Every Book of the Bible - 6th Book Joshua

Jos 1:1 Now after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD it came to pass, that the LORD spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' minister, saying, Jos 1:2 Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel.

I like how the book of Joshua starts out. Right away God says to Joshua, Moses is dead and now it is up to you. Joshua himself represents Jesus in this Book of the Bible. Moses dies and Joshua brings the Israelites into the promise land. Jesus came and fulfill the Mosaic Covenant, He also instated a New Covenant in His Own Blood and brought many into a spiritual promise land, the Kingdom of God.

It is also interesting that Jesus and Joshua are really the same name. Yeshua Hamashiac or Jesus Christ.

Jesus in the Book of Joshua

THE CAPTAIN OF THE HOST

Jos 5:13 And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries?
Jos 5:14 And he said, Nay; but as captain of the host of the LORD am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my lord unto his servant?
Jos 5:15 And the captain of the LORD'S host said unto Joshua, Loose thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Joshua did so.

Even though Joshua represented Jesus or the Christ in the Old Testament, Joshua was just a man. Here in Jericho Joshua encountered a personage that many recognize as a Theophany or an appearance of Jesus before His incarnation. Note Joshua was allowed to worship this being and Joshua was told it was holy ground. Any time a mere angel is worshipped by man, the angel rebukes the man for such wrongful conduct. Ground is not deemed “holy” by an appearance of an angel.
