Notice those words here. He did everything. He left nothing undone of all that the Lord had commanded Moses.
Now, before we get to the miracles, I want to point out the obvious type of Jesus Christ in Joshua. They even have the same name. It is pretty easy. It is like God said, I'll give you an easy one here. We'll call this guy Joshua, and we will call My Son Joshua or Yeshua. And you get it?
Joshua is the God-appointed, anointed leader of the congregation of Israel. Joshua is full of the spirit of wisdom. God is always with him. He is strong and courageous. He does not turn to the right hand or to the left. He follows what is written in God's Word. He has no fear. He does whatever God commands him to do. He finishes what he starts.
Are you seeing the connections here? Joshua is an amazing type of Christ. And we have an even greater Leader in the true Jesus Christ than Joshua ever was to the children of Israel. And so we have to come into this study of this typical journey, the conquest, with the understanding that whenever you see Joshua, you see something about Jesus Christ.
Now, I want to say that Joshua did make a few mistakes, and that just highlights how human Joshua was. None of God's servants except Jesus ever did anything perfectly, and so the type breaks down a time or two. But we have to remember that in these big events, the leader on the scene is Joshua, and he is a type of Christ.
