Christ in the Old Testament

Types and Illustrations of Jesus

About this book

Christ in the Old Testament is a handsome pamphlet that explores the lives of 13 biblical people who "prefigured" the Messiah. This bestselling 14-panel foldout chart examines types, parallels and illustrations of Jesus throughout the Old Testament, including men such Melchizedek, King David, Adam, Noah, Abraham, Joseph, and many others. When viewed through the prism of Christ's life, death and resurrection, these Old Testament characters and their roles in Old Testament history take on new dimensions. Students will discover how their lives can also point to Christ.

Christ is the key to what God had been pointing to in all the history of God's people. One way to see this is to examine parallels between Old Testament people, events, and things, and the life of Jesus in the New Testament. Christ in the Old Testament pamphlet shows how the Old Testament anticipates, reveals, promises, and foreshadows Christ, featuring types and illustrations of Jesus. The pamphlet reveals:

13 Old Testament men who foreshadowed Jesus
A Scriptural time line of their placement in history
Summaries of their lives and significance
Charts comparing ways their life events and actions paralleled Christ or his coming
Life application questions

The 13 men in the Old Testament whose life foreshadowed Christ include:

Adam
Noah
Abraham
Melchizedek
Joseph
Moses
Joshua
Samuel
David
Elijah and Elisha
Zerubbabel and Joshua

Throughout the Old Testament, God provided glimpses into the character and nature of the Messiah through typologies—significant biblical characters whose actions or events symbolically correspond with or contrast to the life of Christ.

Here are a few examples of Christ in the Old Testament:

NOAH

Christ offered himself as a sacrifice (1 Peter 1:18-19)
