0:00.0	Reading our Bibles regularly can be a challenge, but we're all on this journey together.
0:06.0	We're praying that this podcast inspires you, helps you better understand God's Word, and builds your faith.
0:12.0	This is Join the Journey with your host, Emma Daughter.
0:17.0	Thanks for joining. We're a couple weeks into reading the book of Joshua, and I want to take a moment to give a very quick book overview.
0:24.7	When it comes to the book of Joshua, we don't really know who wrote it. It's pretty likely that Joshua himself wrote the first half of the book, but given that the second half of the book reports on his death, at the very least, one other person has to have written that second
0:38.1	half, if not more than one. But all that said, who was Joshua? As one commentator puts it,
0:44.7	Joshua's original name was Hoshiah, C-Numbers 138, which means salvation. He was a minister to
0:51.0	Moses. Moses reconfigured his name to Joshua, which means Yahweh is salvation.
0:57.0	The Hebrew name Joshua is a form of the Hebrew designation Yeshua in the Greek New Testament designation Jesus.
1:05.2	The name Jesus, which like Joshua, carries a soterological purpose. Here's what I mean, or here's what the commentator
1:12.9	means. Think about Matthew 1.21. She will give birth to a son and you are to give him the name
1:18.8	Jesus because he will save his people from their sins. The commentator continues. In the New Testament,
1:25.6	the greater Joshua, Jesus, is anticipated by the Old Testament
1:29.7	Joshua. Joshua's name necessitates the name of Yeshua because Joshua could only lead the
1:36.1	Israelites into the land of promise without giving them rest. They had to work to drive out the
1:40.2	inhabitants. But Yeshua gives believers rest. See Matthew 11. As believers, we have been given
1:48.1	both rest and a new name, a different name and title. We will be called servants, the commentator
1:54.1	concludes. And I think he's right. There are a lot of things about Joshua that teach us about
1:59.4	Jesus, or said differently,
2:03.5	show us how Jesus is the greater Joshua.
2:06.5	And one of those things is Joshua's closeness to God.
2:09.8	Joshua was the leader of Israel to follow Moses. He spent his early years training under the leadership of Moses, following him everywhere.
