Oops of the Day

There was only one Joshua in the Bible.

Numbers 13:16  –  Joshua 1:1,2  –  Zechariah 3:1-10  –  Matthew 1:21

Fact Of the Day

No!  The aide of Moses was Hoshea, meaning one who saves; Moses changed his name to Joshua meaning Jehovah saves, then made him the leader to take his place after he died.  The prophet Zechariah (around 520 BC) had a vision of a Joshua wearing the crowns of both the high priest and king – a prophecy of Jesus, the Messiah.  Joshua is the Hebrew pronunciation of his name.  In English it is pronounced Jesus.  The angel told Joseph:  “She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.”
