Constantin, This is rather long . Christ is revealed in Joshua in three ways: by direct revelation, by types, and by illuminating aspects of his nature. In 5:13-15, the triune God appeared to Joshua as the "Commander of the army of the Lord." By His appearence, Joshua was made aware that God Himself was in charge.It was Joshua's task, as ours, not so much to follow the Commander's plan as to know the Commander.We need to be on His side , not He on ours.A type is a symbol, an object lesson. Types can be found in a person, in religious ritual, even in historical events. Joshua himself was a type of Christ. His name, which means "Yahweh Is Salvation," is a Hebrew equivalent to the Greek " Jesus,". Joshua led the Isrealites into the possession of their promised inhertiance, just as Chirst leads us into possession of eternal life. One of the aspects of Christs's nature reveled in Joshua is that of fulfilled promise. At the end of his life, Joshua testifies, " not one thing has failed of all the good things which the Lord your god spoke concerning you. (23:14) God, in His grace and faithfulness, has sustained and perserved His people by bringing them out of the wilderness and into the Land of Promise. He will do the same for us through Christ, who is the promise. | ||||||
