Yehoshua the son of Yehovah

Yehoshua the son of Yehovah

David says that the Word of YeHoVaH is a constant guide for man’s mind, as His light is for man’s feet, as he expressed it in,

Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. (Psa 119:105)

Furthermore, his son Shlomo (Solomon), confirms it,

For the command is a lamp, and the Torah a light, and reproofs of discipline a way of life. (Pro 6:23)

The Torah of supernal origin is light, which enlightens the man, and the commandment, which directs him in every case to do what is right, is a lamp, which kindles at that light. But on a deeper level, Yehoshua the Living Word spoke of himself, saying,

I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall by no means walk in darkness, but possess the light of life. (Joh 8:12) (See also Joh 9:5)

The word here for “world” is the Greek cosmos, or the Hebrew olam, which both mean “universe”, “world”. In other words, Yehoshua testified concerning himself as being “the light of the universe”.
