Cyril of Jerusalem wrote: “But Jesus, son of Nave, was a type of Him in many things; for when he began to rule the people, he began from the Jordan; thence also did Christ begin to preach the Gospel after He was baptized. The son of Nave appoints the twelve to divide the inheritance; and Jesus sends forth the twelve Apostles, heralds of truth, into the whole world. He who was the type saved Rahab, the harlot, who had believed; the True Jesus on the other hand says: ‘Behold, the publicans and the harlots are entering the kingdom of God before you’ (Matt 21:31). With but a shout, the walls of Jericho collapsed in the time of the type; and because of these words of Jesus: ‘There will not be left here one stone upon another’ (Matt 24:2), the temple of the Jews just opposite us is fallen.”
