It has honestly taken me years to realize this amazing detail in the Bible that only few have actually realized, this in a nut shell is how Jesus' life, death, and crusifixtion paralells in many stories of the Old Testament. This is not something one can plan, which makes the Word of God even more powerful than anything else in the world. All written word is simply fossilized human thought (I did not make that one up a pastor did) but the Word of God is living and eternal.
Moses
The entire life of Moses is the most direct parallel to Christ's life. First, there is a prophecy of the birth of one who will free all Hebrews from the slavery of Egypt only through the Almighty power of the Most High God, he fulfils the prophecy, and the people are free from the suffering and pain of Egypt. Can you see it? Jesus, God in the flesh came to free all people from there pain and suffering of there own sin nature, there was profecies of His coming and He fulfilled them all.
Abraham and Isaac
I am sure you have heard if this, Abraham was waiting many years to have a son, he almost lost hope but he was promised his wife would bare a son, and at 90 years of age she had a baby boy, Isaac. When Isaac was a young boy, Elohim told Abraham to sacrifice his son to him, devastated, Abraham obeyed The Father and went to the mountain to sacrifice his only son, the son who would be the father of many nations. I am assuming most of you know the story, as you can find it in the Book of Genesis. As Abraham was about to kill his own son, he was stopped by the Angel of the Lord. You see where this is going? Whenever you see in the Bible that a person was visited by the Angel of the Lord it means that Jesus himself as an angel came to them, this was all before he came to earth in the flesh. Abraham saw Jesus! He was part of a complete picture prophecy of the coming and crusifixtion of Jesus, the Lamb of God. Of course he had no idea, but we do now, isn't it amazing how God shows us everything before it happens?! He shows it through peoples lives throughout the Bible.
So what do we get out of this message? Well dearest, I urge you to search the scriptures for pictures of Jesus, because He is on every page, most people don't understand the reasoning behind why God asked Abraham to sacrifice Isaac, but now you know, it was to symbolize and prophecy the perfect Lamb sacrifice that would save the world from all sins, sicknesses, and shame. There is many other examples I can give you of pictures of Jesus, but it would take a while to tell you them all, I honestly haven't even found them all, but I am always searching, and if you find more please leave a comment and share, I want to know what you have found.
As always, I love you, and Jesus loves you so have a happy heart!
