Joshua's life and leadership of Israel in securing them a habitation in Canaan much typifies
Jesus Christ's work in:

securing our eternal habitation in the heavenly Canaan, something the law of Moses
could never do.
ROM 8:3.
2.
using the N.T. church to conquer the Gentiles with the gospel.
3.
purging the heavenly Canaan of contrary elements to make it a fit and accessible
haven of rest for the saints....
