Jacob and Joseph and Joshua
I met a fellow selling computer hardware in the Atlanta airport Friday night. I was walking by three people who were vendors in the airport, one selling videos and I forget what the third was selling. One fellow had confused Joshua, Jacob, and Joseph. He was sure that Jacob had something to do with Moses, but he had confused Joshua, who was Moses' right hand man, successor, and military commander, with Jacob. Being ignorant of the bible, how could he understand God's purposes for man, for Christ who was the greatest and the true Joshua, whose name means salvation. Ignorant of the details and specifics, people in our day are ignorant of Christ Himself. The Jacob, Joseph, and Joshua of the Jewish bible each picture Christ to come in their own unique way. Don't slander any of them.
