Continue forward in the Bible with us as we move into the book of Joshua. 

\\n

Here, God\'s Word starts to chronicle the new life the Hebrews will build in the land of Canaan. It is theirs now, and they\'re starting to settle it. 

\\n

Moses has been left behind and replaced by Joshua. The name Joshua means \\u201cJehovah saves\\u201d or \\u201cJehovah is salvation\\u201d. 

\\n

Think about this: Moses was a type of "the law" that could only lead the people so far. As a type of the physical law, Moses could not inherit the "Promised Land" (a type of Heaven) because of falling short in disobedience. Under the physical law of Moses, all must be judged and none can be justified. 

\\n

The contrast is Joshua, a type of the New Testament\'s Jesus Christ and His "better" Law in "spirit" and "truth" with mercy, grace and justification. It holds out the attainable Promised land of Heaven for those who obey. 

\\n

Like Christ, Joshua must be transitioned to as the leader who has the power to lead His people into the "Promised Land". Please enter your study with this in mind. Understanding this will serve you well!

\\n

The main thrust of this book is the entrance to Canaan via Jericho and the military conquest of the peoples already dwelling in the Land.
