The Book of Joshua

Sep 1, 2025    Pastor Steve Finley

In this exploration of the Book of Joshua, we uncover a treasure trove of spiritual insights that point directly to Jesus Christ. The very structure of the Old Testament reveals a profound truth: where the law (represented by Moses) could not enter the Promised Land, Joshua – sharing the same name as Jesus (Yeshua) – leads God's people into their inheritance. This parallel reminds us that what the law cannot accomplish, Jesus fulfills. As we delve into Joshua's conquest of Canaan, we see striking similarities to Christ's second coming as described in Revelation. From the two spies sent ahead (mirroring the two witnesses in Revelation) to the seven-day march around Jericho (echoing the seven trumpets), these connections invite us to view the Old Testament with fresh eyes. They challenge us to seek Jesus in every part of Scripture, recognizing that even ancient conquest narratives can reveal profound truths about our Savior and His plans for us.
