Joshua means Yeshua - Jesus!!!

On the 9th day, after the finale of the 8th day of the Feast of Tabernacles is Simchat Torah.

Deuteronomy 33:27: - 34:12 is read.

This is where Moses dies and Joshua takes over leadership.

I believe this is significant and may allude to the timing of a change.

Israel without the knowledge of Jesus identifies with the Law and Moses. I believe that this is the spiritual reason Moses was not allowed to go into the Promised land. He went to the top of a mountain, saw the Promised land from afar and died. Since YHWH’s point to Israel and all of us is that we cannot keep the law, then not even Moses was allowed to enter in – point being we NEED Jesus. Our own righteousness according to the law will never get us into the Promised land.

It is Joshua, which is the same name as Jesus that will take us into the Promised land.

(The word Jesus is the Latin form of the Greek Iesous, which in turn is the transliteration of the Hebrew Jeshua, or Joshua and also Joshua means Jehovah is Salvation)

Joshua even meets the Angel of the Lord with an outstretched sword. It is this Jesus and not some sort of social worker that Satan and this world will find.

All very relevant stuff for watching!!!

Blessings,

Tony
