The book of Joshua presents to us a new era in redemptive history. Moses has died and Joshua is called to lead the next generation of Israelites into the promised land. Joshua is important in the overarching story arc of the bible for two reasons. First, it fulfills the God's land promise given to Abraham that his offspring would inhabit. Second, the book of Joshua points to the true and greater Joshua, Jesus Christ, and the ultimate rest He gives us by faith and a future "homeland", "better country" for all the redeemed.
