Joshua born in slavery in Egypt.

Raised as a slave under Moses reign and exodus. 

He was Moses assistant/understudy 

He was the spy that testified YES

He and Calebs family was spared Gods wrath due to their belief and faith in God.

They still wandered 40 years. 

It was Joshua NOT Moses that led Israel into the promise land. 

Moses was known for a few things…

God reassured him of his mission

God Parted the Red Sea

God appeared to him as a heavenly messenger

God had him remove his sandals at the burning bush in his presence.

GOD DID THE SAME WITH JOSHUA. 

Joshua was also with Moses at Mount Sinai when Moses was receiving the 10 Commandments.

Joshua was also at Moses side after he spoke to God face-to-face. God was obviously preparing Joshua for future leadership. Joshua was one of the 12 men sent as spies into Canaan.

Joshua followed in Moses footsteps first God appeared to Joshua after Moses died to reassure him of his mission and his promise. Secondly God part of the waters of the Jordan for Joshua as he part of the waters of the Red Sea for Moses 

and third the Lord appeared to Joshua through a heavenly messenger. God instructed Joshua to remove his sandals, just as he had instructed Moses at the burning bush.
