The earliest Christian document outside of the New Testament is almost certainly The Didache, which is also known as The Lord's Teaching Through the Twelve Apostles to the Nations.

Is this what Paul had in mind when he wrote 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12?

The Greek translators called it Arithmoi, and in Latin, it was Numeri because the translators focused on the two census takings at the beginning and the end of the wanderings. But its basically ''the wilderness wanderings'.' Numbers is really a book about arrested progress. In a sense, it never should have happened. It took only 40 hours to get Israel out of Egypt...

Under close examination, the Book of Joshua seems to be a precursor to the book of Revelation: another Yehoshua, as Commander-in-Chief, will dispossess the Planet Earth of its usurpers - first sending in two witnesses, then with a series of judgments of sevens, finally defeating the kings with signs in the sun and moon while the kings of the Earth all hide in caves. What does the name "Joshua" mean?
