Joshua & Jesus

Acts 7:45 & Hebrews 4:8 King James Version

By Prophet Jacob R. Blandford

Hebrews 4:8 & Acts 7:45 strengthen the fact that the King James Bible is the inspired translation of the Holy Scriptures because it enforces the typology between Joshua and the Lord Jesus. All the corrupt perversions of the Bible destroy this typology. But the KJV translation rendered the Greek inspirationally. (For the Spirit sheweth Joshua's conquest of Canaan as a picture of Christ's eternal victory at Calvary. —cf. Heb. 10:12-13) The King James translators properly rendered the transliteration of the name “Joshua” in Greek as “Jesus”. They did the same thing with all the proper names in the New Testament. This lets you know they were paying accurate attention to the Greek text (which was the Textus Receptus known as the Received Text) which they were translating into English; and gave us an accurate and faithful English rendering. The modern scholars think the King James translators were stupid and that they made a blunder in Acts 7:45 & Hebrews 4:8, “But wisdom is justified of her children.” (Matt. 11:19)

Therefore we see that the translated text is prophetically inspired. This is called KJV 'advanced revelation' — viz. translated Scriptures sharpened by the Holy Ghost. (see Hebrews 4:12)

Joshua represents victory through promise.

¶ UPDATED

Joshua & Jesus:

Hebrews 4:8 & Acts 7:45 strengthen the fact that the King James Bible is the inspired translation of “the holy scriptures” (Rom. 1:2; II Tim. 3:15) because it enforces the typology between Joshua and the Lord Jesus. Joshua represents victory through promise. (cf. Matt. 12:20; I Cor. 15:57) Jesus Christ is “...the captain of their salvation...” (Heb. 2:10). [Note: the word "captain" is removed in modern bibles as well.] As Israel's military leader Joshua, in the Book of JOSHUA, was also confronted by this "captain" (see Joshua 5:13-15). But all the corrupt perversions of the Bible destroy this typology. But the KJV translation rendered the Greek inspirationally. (see also Acts 7:45) For the Spirit shewth Joshua's conquest of Canaan as a picture of Christ's eternal victory at Calvary. (cf. Heb. 10:12-13) Christ will come back on a white horse at His Second Coming. (see Rev. 19:11) I think a fitting title is: CALVARY'S CAVALIER. Amen. ¶ The whole Bible could be called "The Book of Joshua" or "The Book of Jesus".  Afterall, Jesus said the Scriptures testify of himself (see John 5:39).

Therefore we see that the translated text of the KJV is prophetically inspired. This is called KJV ‘advanced revelation’—viz. translated Scriptures sharpened by the Holy Ghost. (see Hebrews 4:12, 11:5)

“Where the word of a king is, there is power...” (Ecclesiastes 8:4)

“Nevertheless the king's word prevailed...” (I Chronicles 21:4)

¶ Another note:

The Geneva Bible (1560), Bishops’ Bible (1568), and King James Bible (1611) are all English Protestant Reformation Bibles. These all contain the rendering “Jesus” in Acts 7:45 and Hebrews 4:8. Dr. Peter S. Ruckman has some remarkable comments on this rendering in his book ‘The Bible Believer’s Commentary Series: The Book of Acts’, pages 280-282.

¶ The Book of Joshua is a picture of the Second Advent of Jesus Christ. The names Joshua and Jesus are synonymous (see the King James Bible in Acts 7:45 & Heb. 4:8). Christ and Joshua are military dictators (Ps. 110; Rev. 20). A “captain” shows up with a “sword” in Josh. chapter 5 (vs. 13-15) (see Heb. 2:10, 4:12 KJV). He attacks an accursed city in Josh. Ch. 6 (see Rev. 17-18). The sun and moon stand still (Josh. 10:12-14; Hab. 3:11). And he attacks a city called “Ai” (Josh. Ch. 8). “Ai” being short for ‘Artificial intelligence’. Tribal allotments will be designated after the battle (Josh. 13-21; Ezek. 38-39, 47-48; Rev. 19-20).
