When the nation of Israel left Egypt after more than 400 years, two broad groups made the journey toward the Promised Land: the adults and those under 20 years. Upon arrival at Kadesh-Barnea, the spies which Moses sent into the land, with the exception of Joshua and Caleb, returned with an evil report against the Promised Land. In his wrath, God swore that none of the older generation would enter the land, but the young ones whose safety their parents used as an excuse not to go in would go in to possess it. This company of Israelites was led by Joshua to possess the Promised Land, hence the name “Joshua Generation”.

In present- day typology, the Joshua Generation represents those who left Egypt, got born again and filled with the Spirit, to go into the wilderness, but choose not to remain there and press on into the present-day “Promised Land” of the perfection and fullness of Christ and the manifestation of the glory of God as the Lord Jesus did! These ones are led by a prophetic/apostolic leadership typified by Joshua. It will be mostly a young company; but as Caleb, the son of Jephunneh typifies, there is room for those of the older generation who are of a different spirit, who choose to wholly embrace and follow God’s anointed, present day Joshua, prophetic/apostolic leadership into the promised land of the perfection and fullness of Christ.
