How do we know Jesus is depicted in the Book of Joshua?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus is typified in Joshua, whose name means 'Jehovah is Salvation', symbolizing His role as our Savior.

Joshua serves as a type of Christ throughout the Book of Joshua, illustrating the Savior's character and mission. His name literally means 'Jehovah is Salvation', a direct correlation to Jesus as the one who saves. Just as Joshua led Israel into the Promised Land, Christ leads His people into spiritual rest and eternal life. The author of Hebrews confirms this typology when it recounts Joshua's role and states that he represents the rest that Christ provides (Hebrews 4:1).
