Joshua 1:1 (NIV) After the death of Moses the servant of the LORD, the LORD said to Joshua, Moses my servant is dead. Moses who may be the greatest man of the OT has died. Moses is also a type of Christ. Moses brought God’s people out of darkness and slavery of Egypt to freedom. Christ brought believers out of the dominion of darkness of this world who were slaves to sin into HIS glorious light. After the death of Moses God’s work expanded. Likewise, after the death of Christ God’s work expanded. This world doesn’t understand that of God’s kingdom expands in adversity. The Jewish leaders had this same misconception.
