Foreshadowing?

I need a little help. (No comments please) Could you read these verses and let me know what you think?

I was reading in the Book of Joshua the other night and came across these verses that I had previously underlined. The verses are from Joshua 6 - The Destruction of Jericho.

Before I talk about those verses let me remind you of one thing. The name 'Johua' is synonymous with the name 'Jesus.' Just a little fun fact for you to keep in mind as you read. Now the text.

"Now Jericho was securely shut up because of the children of Israel; none went out, and none came in. 2And the Lord said to Joshua: “See! I have given Jericho into your hand, its king, and the mighty men of valor. 3You shall march around the city, all you men of war; you shall go all around the city once. This you shall do six days. 4And seven priests shall bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark. But the seventh day you shall march around the city seven times, and the priests shall blow the trumpets. 5It shall come to pass, when they make a long blast with the ram’s horn, and when you hear the sound of the trumpet, that all the people shall shout with a great shout; then the wall of the city will fall down flat. And the people shall go up every man straight before him.” - Joshua 6:1-5

Now read this:

"Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed - 52in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed." - 1 Corinthians 15:51-52

Do those two stories sound similar? The text from Joshua has Israel conquering Jericho. God's people (good) triumphing over the people of Jericho (evil). Both stories show God's people being led by Joshua / Jesus. Both stories feature trumpets sounding just before something happens. And both stories contain examples of people "going up."

Coincidence? Maybe. Maybe not.

The Old Testament is full of stories that are foreshadowings of things to come. Noah and the Ark, Jonah and The Whale, Moses delivering his people. There are also several appearances in the Old Testament of Jesus, the Commander of God's Army in Joshua 5:13-15 for example who appears to Joshua just before the story about Jericho.

Maybe it's just me but when I see Jesus appearing in story after story . . . in the OLD Testament, it's a reminder to me anyway that the entire Bible . . . is about Jesus.

The Church, God's people, will be entering The Promised Land soon. We will do so at the sound of a trumpet. And when we hear the sound of the shofar, we will ALL go up.
