Joshua

Joshua (Je-hoshua, meaning Jehovah-Saviour) is a type of Christ, the "Captain of our salvation" (Heb 2:10, 11). The more important points are:

  1. He comes after Moses (John 1:17; Rom 8:3, 4; 10:4, 5; Heb 7:18, 19; Gal 3:23-25).
  2. He leads to victory (Rom 8:37; 2 Cor 1:10; 2:14).
  3. He is our Advocate when we have suffered defeat (Jos 7:5-9; 1Jo 2:1).
  4. He allots our portions (Eph 1:11, 14; 4:8-11).
