Is Joshua the Christ

[precepts]

How longeth must I wait, my lord? I pray thee do tell.

Shall I call all the kings men?

 

[samuel]

Here you go!.

John:15:5: I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

Jesus was the Branch out of the Root of Jessie, meaning he was of the line of David in the flesh.

 

[Cornelius]

Here you go!.

John:15:5: I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

Jesus was the Branch out of the Root of Jessie, meaning he was of the line of David in the flesh.

Read it again: Jesus does not say He is the branch, He says He is the VINE.

And if you read this, you will see that the Branch is a SHE, and that THEIR ("our") name is : Jehovah OUR righteousness (this is a group....."our" )

Jer 33:15 In those days, and at that time, will I cause a Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David; and he shall execute justice and righteousness in the land.
Jer 33:16 In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely; and this is the name whereby she shall be called: Jehovah our righteousness.

Jesus cannot be called "Jehovah OUR righteousness" and He is not a she.

 

[Cornelius]

Its about the end time. It says "in those days" .Read Jer 23 and 33 (Both talk about the Branch) and you will notice both are about the time of the tribulation (our time)

So the Branch is Jesus, but Jesus IN YOU AND ME. Jesus IN His Body of believers.Hos 6:2 After two days will he revive us: on the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live before him. This is talking about the Branch.

The Branch is the manifestation of "Christ in us the hope of glory"

I am sorry if this is confusing, but I must add the other scripture about the Branch, although most will not understand this, because they have been taught its Israel.Rev 14:4 These are they that were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they that follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were purchased from among men, to be the firstfruits unto God and unto the Lamb.
Rev 14:5 And in their mouth was found no lie: they are without blemish.(Jehovah OUR righteousness ! )

Ditto except for one thing, being the branch and being the branches is two different things. What is a vine if not a branch. Christ didn't say he was the vines and we were the branches. The vine was once a branch, the main branch that supports the smaller branches.

Christ said he was the vine or vines?

So the Joshua that was crowned high priest and king of Israel was a woman?


Corne's

Jer 33:15 In those days, and at that time, will I cause a Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David; and he shall execute justice and righteousness in the land.
Jer 33:16 In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely; and this is the name whereby she shall be called: Jehovah our righteousness.

Jesus cannot be called "Jehovah OUR righteousness" and He is not a she.

Let's see, Judah shall be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely,semicolon, and this is the name whereby she shall be saved. Let's see, it can't be the branch because it's a he. What in these two verses could be referred to as a she? I wonder, could it be Jerusalem? I've never heard Jerusalem or any city in the bible referred to as a he, so it must be Jerusalem?

Jeremiah was referring to Israel's return from babylon aswell as the New Jerusalem (YahruShalem, I Am with the city of Peace).


Corne's

So the Branch is Jesus,

Jesus is not a she.

corne's

the third day he will raise us but Jesus IN YOU AND ME. Jesus IN His Body of believers.Hos 6:2 After two days will he revive us: on up, and we shall live before him. This is talking about the Branch. The Branch is the manifestation of "Christ in us the hope of glory"

And the Joshua in Zechariah?

Corne's

I am sorry if this is confusing, but I must add the other scripture about the Branch, although most will not understand this, because they have been taught its Israel.Rev 14:4 These are they that were not defiled with women; for they are virgins.

Rev 14:5 And in their mouth was found no lie: they are without blemish.(Jehovah OUR righteousness ! )

The chariot of God and the horsemen thereof, right.

 

[Cornelius]

LOL, OK I am not going to get into this with you . We clearly have no common ground to base this conversation on.
I will think about a Bible Study on this.

The name Joshua is the same as Jesus in the Hebrew.
It is no coincidence that Joshua (Yeshua) was the one that led the Children of Israel into the Promised Land and also was the first High Priest after the return of the Exile (Zechariah).

Two questions, who succeeded him and how do you explain the miracles that Elisha and Eliyah did that no other prophets could?

When I first sat down to read the bible from cover to cover, I noticed a difference in Eliyah and Elisha. Plus, how do you explain the two of them being call the chariot of God and the horsemen thereof?

I don't see what that has to do with anything?

God bless.

 

[precepts]

I thought it was the topic of this post? What's your point?

 

[LanceEh]

I thought the whole point of the topic was asking if Joshua was the Christ. That's why I explained the name similarities to Jesus and the fact that God was revealing something about the Messiah in the Old Testament. I'm not sure how Elijah and Elisha got tied into this.

Sorry.

You're not sure or you don' see the connection between the names?

The OP question: Is Joshua the Christ

Let us consider the NT witness of the Spirit through Paul's testimony.
Let us use several translations for comparison.
Heb 4:8
8 For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day. KJV
Heb 4:8
8 For if Joshua had given them rest, He would not have spoken of another day after that. NAS
Heb 4:8
8 For if Joshua had given them rest, he would not have spoken afterward of another day. ASV
Heb 4:8
8 For if Joshua had given them rest, then He would not afterward have spoken of another day NKJV
Heb 4:8
8 For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later about another day. NIV
Heb 4:8
8 For if Joshua had given them rest, He would not have spoken of another day after that. NASU


Who spoke of another day? Who is speaking in Psalm 95? Who can give us rest from our own works? This is key to the OP.

Heb 3:7
7 Wherefore, even as the Holy Spirit saith, To-day if ye shall hear his voice, ASV

Heb 4:7
7 he again defineth a certain day, To-day, saying in David so long a time afterward (even as hath been said before), To-day if ye shall hear his voice, Harden not your hearts. ASV

The answer to the OP is in the revelation of the mystery of God, the wisdom of God in the crucifixion of Jesus, the Christ of God ; which is foolishness to the mind filled with the wisdom of the Greeks. Salvation is of the Jews. John 4:22.

1 Cor 2:7 but we speak God's wisdom in a mystery, (even) the (wisdom) that hath been hidden, which God foreordained before the worlds unto our glory:
8 which none of the rulers of this world hath known: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory: ASV

The truth is an offense but not a sin.

 

[Joe67]

The truth is an offense but not a sin.

precepts,

Jesus Christ of Nazareth, the holy One of Israel, who knew no sin, who was made to be sin for us that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him, is the offense and the stone of stumbling to the Jewish formed mind.

Christ crucified, the wisdom of God, is foolishness to the Greek educated mind.

I think Isaiah says it best:

Isa 40:1 ¶ Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God.
Isa 40:2 Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath received of the LORD'S hand double for all her sins.
Isa 40:3 ¶ The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.
Isa 40:4 Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain:
Isa 40:5 And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see [it] together: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken [it].
Isa 40:6 ¶ The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh [is] grass, and all the goodliness thereof [is] as the flower of the field:
Isa 40:7 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the LORD bloweth upon it: surely the people [is] grass.
Isa 40:8 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.
Isa 40:9 ¶ O Zion, that bringest good tidings, get thee up into the high mountain; O Jerusalem, that bringest good tidings, lift up thy voice with strength; lift [it] up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah, Behold your God!



Isa 40:10 Behold, the Lord GOD will come with strong [hand], and his arm shall rule for him: behold, his reward [is] with him, and his work before him.
Isa 40:11 He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry [them] in his bosom, [and] shall gently lead those that are with young.
Isa 40:12 ¶ Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance?
Isa 40:13 Who hath directed the Spirit of the LORD, or [being] his counsellor hath taught him?
Isa 40:14 With whom took he counsel, and [who] instructed him, and taught him in the path of judgment, and taught him knowledge, and shewed to him the way of understanding?
Isa 40:15 Behold, the nations [are] as a drop of a bucket, and are counted as the small dust of the balance: behold, he taketh up the isles as a very little thing.
Isa 40:16 And Lebanon [is] not sufficient to burn, nor the beasts thereof sufficient for a burnt offering.



Isa 40:17 All nations before him [are] as nothing; and they are counted to him less than nothing, and vanity.
Isa 40:18 ¶ To whom then will ye liken God? or what likeness will ye compare unto him?
Isa 40:19 The workman melteth a graven image, and the goldsmith spreadeth it over with gold, and casteth silver chains.
Isa 40:20 He that [is] so impoverished that he hath no oblation chooseth a tree [that] will not rot; he seeketh unto him a cunning workman to prepare a graven image, [that] shall not be moved.
Isa 40:21 ¶ Have ye not known? have ye not heard? hath it not been told you from the beginning? have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth?


Isa 40:22 [It is] he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof [are] as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:
Isa 40:23 That bringeth the princes to nothing; he maketh the judges of the earth as vanity.
Isa 40:24 Yea, they shall not be planted; yea, they shall not be sown: yea, their stock shall not take root in the earth: and he shall also blow upon them, and they shall wither, and the whirlwind shall take them away as stubble.
Isa 40:25 ¶ To whom then will ye liken me, or shall I be equal? saith the Holy One.

Isa 40:26 Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these [things], that bringeth out their host by number: he calleth them all by names by the greatness of his might, for that [he is] strong in power; not one faileth.
Isa 40:27 ¶ Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My way is hid from the LORD, and my judgment is passed over from my God?



Isa 40:28 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, [that] the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of
