What does Joshua represent in the story of Rahab?

In the story, Joshua symbolizes the assured deliverance from sin and death, as he leads the Israelites into the promised land and orchestrates the salvation of Rahab and her family. This foreshadows how Christ, who is also a form of 'Joshua' which means 'savior', fulfills God’s redemptive plan. Just as Rahab was spared because of her trust in God demonstrated through her actions, Christians today are saved by their faith in Jesus Christ, who shows no partiality in offering salvation to all. The story reflects the overarching theme of redemption and hope present throughout Scripture.
