Today we will be looking at the appearances of Jesus in the Old Testament as well as biblical figures who were or may be considered symbols of Christ. I will be aiming for 30 Christ types and appearances.
First let's look at some people or things in scripture who could be considered a symbol of Christ
1. Isaac- the sacrificial son
2. Joseph - Suffered unjustly then exalted to save his brethren
3. Job- Perfect yet Afflicted
4. David- Man after God's heart, King, Man of War
5. Solomon- Exceedingly rich and wise, son of David, king of peace.
6. Hosea- demonstrated the unconditional love of God
7. Jonah-3 days in whale (tomb) then spit out (rose).
8. The Ark of Noah- Enter to escape God's wrath
9. Boaz-Kinsman Redeemer
10. Elijah- Miracle worker, Ascended to heaven
11. Enoch- Pleased God, Ascended
12. Moses- Law-giver, mediator, Deliverer from bondage.
13. Joshua- name similar to Christ, brought people into promised land
14. The Sacrificial Lamb.
