God is help.

(1) The name also occurs in the O.T. under the various forms Jehoshua, Hoshea, Jeshua, and Jesus; son of Nun, and successor of Moses; born in Egypt before the Exodus (Num. 14: 26-31); fought with Amalek (Ex. 17: 13-14); was Moses’ minister (Ex. 24: 13; Ex. 32: 17; Ex. 33: 11); one of the 12 spies (Num. 13: 8); appointed Moses’ successor (Num. 27: 18 f.; Num. 34: 17; cf. Deut. 1: 38; Deut. 3: 28; Deut. 31: 3, 23; Deut. 34: 9). Moses by the Spirit of Revelation had renamed Oshea or Hoshea, the son of Nun, giving him a 'new name' which was the name that God the Father had given to Jehovah in the pre-mortal existance. That name is JEHOSHUA which means 'Jehovah Salvation' or that 'in Jehovah only is salvation to be found'. (Numbers 13:16, Zechariah 3:1, Ecclesiastical History, Eusebius of Ceasarea, Book 1, Chapter 3, paragraphs 1-8). The book of Joshua (see below) contains the history of his conquest of Palestine. He died at the age of 110, and was buried in his own city, Timnath-Serah. He is the highest type of the devout warrior and prophet of God.

(2) Joshua the son of the High Priest Josedech, the priest of the temple in the day of the Govenor of Jerusalem, Zerubbabel, after the return of a part of Judah from the Babylonian captivity to Jerusalem to rebuild the temple and restore the city as a prelude to the coming of Christ in the flesh to perform the atonement. This Zerubbabel is a key pivotal ancestor in the Genealogy of the Messiah. It was likely only by the Jewish association of the fourth vision of Zechariah, chapter 3, to this Joshua of this contemporary date with Zechariah, that the vision of the judgment council between Jehovah and Lucifer is preserved, it being dualistically attributed to that contemporary Joshua. From a purely 'traditional Christain' perspective, only the fact that the contempory Joshua of Zechariah's day was a 'type of Christ' is recognized. The 'Jewish' and 'Christian' world, by-in-large, including the general scholarship of the LDS Church, does not see in Zechariah's vision a direct vision of that judgment council which in all truth it is.
