JOSHUA & JESUS - 7 DAYS - ONE TRUMPET BLAST - ONE VICTORY! So Joshua himself is a type of Christ. In fact, Joshua's name when translated to English, means 'Jesus.' Joshua fought the battle of Jericho for 7 days straight, he and all the men marched around the city. Jesus has fought the battle on earth against sin, 7 days of 1,000 years. Joshua blasted one trumpet on the 7th day and he got the victory. At the Rapture, Jesus blasts one trumpet on the 7th day and gets the victory.
