History (2 of 4)
Series: The Coming of the Christ
Dr. Darrow Perkins
Psalm 40:7
Today were going to focus on the history books of the Old Testament. These books cover the life of the nation from their possession of the land down to the losing of the land due to their unbelief and disobedience. The history books also covers 800 years of Israel’s history, the reigns of the judges, the establishment of kings, the division of Israel into Northern and Southern kingdoms, even to the exile of the Southern Kingdom into Babylon, and the return of Jerusalem under the leadership of Nehemiah and Ezra.
During this time period, God was still working on behalf of Israel to ensure that Christ would be seen throughout the life of the nation. We want to take a look at some of these books and see The Coming of the Christ!
In the Book of Joshua, we can see Christ even in the name of who the book is named for. His original name was Hoshea, which means ‘‘salvation,’’ but Moses changed his name during the wilderness wanderings to Yehoshua, which means ‘‘Yahweh is salvation.’’ Joshua is a translation of Yehoshua. Joshua is seen as a type of Christ for his work of leading Israel victoriously into the rest of their promised possession, the land of Canaan. The Bible says in Joshua 21:43, ‘‘And the LORD gave unto Israel all the land which he sware to give unto their fathers; and they possessed it, and dwelt therein.’’ This is reflective of what Christ will do with all who have accepted Him as Lord and savior. Jesus Himself said in John 14:2-3, ‘‘In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.’’ Joshua shows the salvation of the Lord.
