Acts 7:45 says "Jesus" is Joshua/Yahsha!

Reading comprehension is important.

Zechariah (Zec 6:9-15) is told by God to tell Joshua son of Josedech to behold 'the Man' of whom messianic promises are made which 'shall come to pass, if ye will diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God'. Clearly 'the Man' is not Joshua son of Josedech. If he were then there would have been no need for Jesus of Nazareth. Instead he is a prophetic type for Jesus in which we see his human failings rectified in and through the person of Jesus Christ.
Reading comprehension is important for real, because you've just added to the text. Did Joshua behold the man called the Branch? How can you behold, if what you're to behold isn't present. The Joshua stone is the stone the builders refused!


Eze 21:25 And thou, profane wicked prince of Israel, whose day is come, when iniquity [shall have] an end,
Eze 21:26 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Remove the diadem, and take off the crown: this [shall] not [be] the same: exalt [him that is] low, and abase [him that is] high.
Eze 21:27 I will overturn, overturn, overturn, it: and it shall be no [more], until he come whose right it is; and I will give it [him].
------------------------------------------
Jer 23:5 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth.
Jer 23:6 In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this [is] his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.
Jer 23:7 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that they shall no more say, The LORD liveth, which brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;
Jer 23:8 But, The LORD liveth, which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries whither I had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land.

For the OT believers it was about receiving the Messianic Promise and having faith in God that it would be fulfilled.

Jhn 8:56 - Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw [it], and was glad.

This is the exact same principle applied to Abraham.

Joshua is not the Stone. Neither is Zerubbabel. They are the religious and political authorities which God chose to build post-Babylonian captivity Judaism in anticipation of the Jewish Messiah.

How would you know? You're assuming.

In what way? There's no connection to what you're saying.

That is your opinion. The fact that I provided scriptures speaking of a return from Egypt and Babylon with two persons name Joshua, the removing of the crown until whose right it was comes, the crowning of this Joshua called the Branch, and the verse showing that not only was this Joshua used for the gathering of Israel post Babylon but for a sign to the gentiles, should be proof enough. Not to mention the verse of this king ruling in the earth post Babylon. These are the verses missed interpretated by these rapture preachers as to come.

If you can't see the connections because of tradition, then I can't help you. Tradition, just like in the time of Christ, is exactly what's happening in Christianity.

Why was Joshua crowned when God told the last Judaic king to remove the crown until his whose right it was should come? Why was there no king post Joshua's crowning?

Eze 21:27 I will overturn, overturn, overturn, it: and it shall be no [more], until he come whose right it is; and I will give it [him].
Why?!

Oh please!:rolling. I'm the last person to rely on tradition when it comes to bible interpretation. I try to rectify any conflict I perceive between this world and the Word given the belief that even though my perceptions of both the world and the Word may be in error, God's Word is truth. What I don't do is look for the temporary high that comes from believing you've discovered a divine error.

Neither Joshua son of Nun, nor Joshua son of Josedech were ever kings. Joshua son of Josedech was a priest tasked by God with rebuilding the Jewish faith after the captivity. Zerubbabel was the governing authority under which the work was to take place. The king over the people at that time was Persian. The separation of these three offices point to the time in which the promised Messiah Jesus Christ holds all authority in the Kingdom of Believers.
