Jesus’ name in Hebrew is pronounced the same as the Hebrew
word for Joshua who appeared in the Old Testament.
Joshua in the Old Testament who leads the people into the
promised land foreshadows Jesus (pronounced Joshua in Hebrew) leading the
resurrected into the promised land of heaven.
Deuteronomy 31:3 clearly states that “The LORD your God, he
will go over before you and it also states Joshua, he shall go over before you,
as the LORD has said.
Thus allegorically the LORD your God, who will go over before
you is Joshua (Jesus). So Moses is the prophet who gives the name of Jesus
(pronounced Joshua in Hebrew) as the Lord your God who will go over before you.
Deuteronomy 31:3 The LORD your God, he will go over before
you, and he will destroy these nations from before you, and you shall possess
them: and Joshua, he shall go over before you, as the LORD has said.
