Jesus in Every Book of the Bible, Part XI - Dr. Stephen W. Christian

Dr. Stephen W. Christian, Senior Pastor and Bishop, shares the the eleventh installment of the message, “Jesus in Every Book of the Bible” on Sunday, March 29, 2009.

John 5:39 (New Living Translation)
You search the Scriptures because you believe they give you eternal life. But the Scriptures point to me!

Last week we saw Jesus typified as a King, as a bronze serpent who was lifted up for the healing of the sinful people. Jesus compared himself to that bronze serpent when he declared that “If I be lifted up, I will draw all men unto me.” When we look to Jesus, we are healed of our sin sickness

Jesus in the Book of Deuteronomy
In Deuteronomy, Jesus is typified as a Prophet

Deuteronomy 18 (New Living Translation)
15. “The LORD your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your fellow Israelites, and you must listen to that prophet.
16. For this is what you yourselves requested of the LORD your God when you were assembled at Mount Sinai. You begged that you might never again have to listen to the voice of the LORD your God or see this blazing fire for fear you would die.
17 . “Then the LORD said to me, `Fine, I will do as they have requested.
18. I will raise up a prophet like you from among their fellow Israelites. I will tell that prophet what to say, and he will tell the people everything I command him.
19. I will personally deal with anyone who will not listen to the messages the prophet proclaims on my behalf.

John 6:14 (New Living Translation)
14. When the people saw this miraculous sign, they exclaimed, “Surely, he is the Prophet we have been expecting!”
15. Jesus saw that they were ready to take him by force and make him king, so he went higher into the hills alone.

Jesus in the Book of Joshua
In Joshua, Jesus is typified in the person of Joshua. It was Joshua who led the children of God into the Promised Land. Moses could not continue to lead the people because he did not continue to sanctify the Glory of God. The Latin phrase is Soli Deo Gloria – God alone gets the Glory

The name “Jesus” is the transliteration of the the Hebrew term “Joshua” both meaning “The Lord is Salvation”

Joshua led the children of Israel into the Promise Land, but Jesus led the people to the Promise — Himself. Jesus is our Promise.

Joshua 5:13 (King James Version)
13. And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, [Art] thou for us, or for our adversaries?
14. And he said, Nay; but [as] captain of the host of the LORD am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my lord unto his servant?
15. And the captain of the LORD’S host said unto Joshua, Loose thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest [is] holy. And Joshua did so.

Joshua 5:13 (New Living Translation)
13. As Joshua approached the city of Jericho, he looked up and saw a man facing him with sword in hand. Joshua went up to him and asked, “Are you friend or foe?”
14. “Neither one,” he replied. “I am commander of the LORD’s army.” At this, Joshua fell with his face to the ground in reverence. “I am at your command,” Joshua said. “What do you want your servant to do?”
15. The commander of the LORD’s army replied, “Take off your sandals, for this is holy ground.” And Joshua did as he was told.

Joshua fell on his face and worshipped the Commander of the Lord’s Army. A servant of the Lord always tells others not to worship them. in this case, this was not just an Angel, it was the captain of the Lord’s Army – the Lord Jesus Himself. In this passage, the Commander is worthy of worship and did not reject this worship. It would have been blasphemy if this person accepted the Lord’s worship.
