‏ Deuteronomy 3:21-22

Joshua Encouraged by Moses

Moses, the elder believer, encourages Joshua, the younger believer. He shows him what God has done and what He has promised. Seeing something with one’s own eyes makes God’s acts of salvation toward His people actual for every generation. Moses uses this expression more often in this book (Deu 4:3 ; 9 ; Deu 7:19 ; Deu 9:17 ; Deu 10:21 ; Deu 11:12 ; Deu 34:4).

In Moses we also see here a picture of the Lord Jesus as the One Who died for us and also rose up. We see that in the picture of the Red Sea. Then we see how He leads us through the wilderness, which is a picture of what the world is for the life of faith. Joshua is a picture of the Lord Jesus as the One risen from death and glorified, the Lord Who guides His people into the land and makes them share the blessing of the land.
