How things work out. It's not that we don't have choices, but God sets boundaries.
Seed, plant, harvest. If you plant seeds you get a harvest.
Also, old stories like those in the Bible. The characters though real can be like templates of later events.
The name Joshua is basically the same as I understand it as the name for Jesus (Yeshua). This event (pic related) practically gives me goosebumps even to read about. Joshua (type of Christ) meets the commander of the LORD's army (I take to be Jesus but prior to his incarnation).
Jesus (Yeshua) is meeting him before he goes on to present an earthly template of what will follow later. Sorry my explanation might not convey it well, but it is truly amazing.

Jericho is like satan's stronghold.
