For years Josue and his wife had been at odds when it came to religion. This caused many arguments and he longed for more unity in his marriage. Things got so bad that one day he decided to forbid his wife from listening to her favorite radio program—which just happened to be Adventist World Radio! She didn’t want more conflict. It was now affecting their children, but she loved Adventist World Radio, so she continued listening in secret. Soon, Josue began to notice something unusual. His wife’s behavior had begun to change, and though she tried to hide it, he knew she was still listening to her programs. That’s when he decided he should listen in secret as well, to see what was causing the change in her. Josue didn’t understand that “Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain” (Psalm 127:1), but God was working in his heart and in his home to bring about love and harmony. Watch this video to see how God intervened to change a home, and how He used Adventist World Radio to do it! Yours in the Blessed Hope, Jim Howard

Thursday: Joshua and Us
Daily Lesson for Thursday 4th of December 2025
Joshua, as a type, points beyond the ministry of Jesus Christ to a fulfillment in the life of the church, Christ’s body. In what sense do the wars Israel fought under Joshua foreshadow the spiritual struggles of the church? How are they different? See 1 Timothy 1:18, 2 Timothy 4:7, Ephesians 6:10-12, 2 Corinthians 10:3-5, and Acts 20:32.
The writers of the New Testament recognize the ecclesiological (church) fulfillment of the Joshua typology. The members of Christ’s body, the church, are involved in a spiritual warfare against evil forces; nevertheless, they enjoy the rest of God’s grace (Hebrews 4:9-11) and the blessings of their spiritual inheritance.
What do these texts say about the ultimate fulfillment of the Joshua typology? 1 Peter 1:4, Colossians 3:24, Revelation 20:9, Revelation 21:3.
The final and complete fulfillment of the Joshua typology will be accomplished at the second coming of Jesus Christ (apocalyptic/eschatological aspect).

Joshua’s life reflected so much of God’s character that certain aspects of his life took on a prophetic character foreshadowing the activity and person of the Messiah.
For us, today, the Messiah has already come. His ministry does not need to be prefigured, but we still have the privilege of reflecting His character—the glory that Christ longed to share with His disciples (John 17:22) and that can become ours by contemplating the character of Christ (2 Corinthians 3:18). The more we contemplate Jesus, the more we reflect the beauty of His character. This is so foundational to what our daily walk with Christ should lead to. This is why time in the Word, every day, is so important. This is why, too, we should also spend time dwelling on the life and character and teachings of Jesus. By beholding, yes, we do become changed.

Joshua, the type, asked the Israelites: “ ‘How long will you neglect to go and possess the land which the Lord God of your fathers has given you?’ ” (Joshua 18:3, NKJV). How would Jesus, the antitype of Joshua, phrase that question today? |
