Joshua, the TypeIn the light of biblical typology, what is the significance of the multiple parallelism between the lives of Moses and Joshua? See Exod. 3:1-2; Josh. 1:1-3; Num. 13:1-2; Josh. 2:1; Exod. 3:5; Josh. 5:15.As we discovered in the first week, Joshua is presented as a new Moses who, in the life of the second generation, repeats the most significant steps of the Exodus from Egypt.

Who fulfills the prophecy of Moses about a prophet like himself? How does Joshua fit into the picture?Joshua’s life was a partial fulfillment of the prophecy made by Moses (Deut. 18:15, 18). However, the prophecy made by Moses was not fulfilled in its ultimate sense. In its ultimate sense, the prophecy could be accomplished (or fulfilled) only by the Messiah. He knew the Father intimately (John 1:14, 18); He was true and revealed God truthfully (Luke 10:22, John 14:6, Matt. 22:16). God indeed put His words in His mouth (John 14:24). So, both the life of Moses and that of Joshua become types of the co
