Yehoshua as the moon makif


Yehoshua is compared to the moon who must have a constant radiance from the sun to shine. So to it says by Yehoshua, 'lo yamush me'toch ha'ohel'.

Because of the encompassing light that is represented by a full moon, like Yehoshuda, that is why they read Megillah on the 15th in cities that are 'encompassed' from the days of Yehoshua, that still retain some of his quality of radiance.
In the days of mashiach, however, Yerushalayim will be without boundries, beyond even this. Therefore there will no longer be this distinction between walled and non-walled cities in the time to come.
-Ve'kibel Hayehudim
