Christ in the Old Testament pamphlet explores the lives of 13 biblical people who "prefigured" the Messiah. Throughout the Old Testament, God provided "saviors" for the people of Israel who would foreshadow the true, eternal Savior yet to come. Understanding stories such as Joseph or Abraham and how they point to Christ helps us trust in God's provision and wisdom in all things. This 14-panel foldout chart examines types, parallels, and illustrations of Jesus throughout the Old Testament, including people 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 biblical history take on new dimensions.
Size: 8.5"x 5.5" unfolds to 38" long. Fits inside most Bible covers.

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 people 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 people in the Old Testament whose lives foreshadowed Christ include:

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

Throughout the Old Testament history, 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:
ADAM

Adam's actions brought consequences to his children, causing them to inherit sin and death (Genesis 3:16-19)
Christ's actions brought consequences to God's children, causing them to inherit righteousness and life (Romans 5:12-19, 1 Corinthians 15:20-22, 45-49)

NOAH

Noah offered a sacrifice of blood (Genesis 8:20-9:6)
Christ offered himself as a sacrifice (1 Peter 1:18-19)

MOSES

Surrounding the birth of Moses, innocent children were killed by Pharaoh (Exodus 1:22)
Surrounding the birth of Jesus, King Herod killed innocent children in Bethlehem (Matthew 2:16)

JOSHUA

Joshua led god's people to rest in the Promised Land (Joshua 21:44)
Jesus'followers are led into rest in this new creation (Hebrews 4:1)

SAMUEL

Samuel's mother Hannah was blessed by the High Priest Eli before the birth of Samuel (1 Samuel 1:17)
Mary, the mother of Jesus, was blessed by an angel before the birth of Jesus (Luke 1:30)

Review by: Paul Dare - June 9, 2011

Well, Rose Publishing has done it again. I have used Rose’s material for years and I am never disappointed. This latest pamphlet [Christ in the Old Testament] (provided by Rose free of charge in exchange for an unbiased review) is no exception. This is a valuable quick reference pamphlet on the types, shadows and foreshadows of our great God and savior Jesus Christ found throughout the Old Testament. This particular pamphlet focuses on the 13 people in the Old Testament who’s attributes and actions point to Christ either in a parallel way or by of contrast. The Old Testament characters include:

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

Each of these characters, their stories, what they did, what they said and what God did to and through them is laid out and connected to the scripture’s ultimate character, Jesus Christ. The parallels are astounding and Rose does a great job presenting them in an easy to read format. If you have never studied the types of Christ, I would highly recommend this small pamphlet to help you get started and whet your appetite. You will want to pick up some further resources after you’ve looked through these few examples and you will be encouraged that the entire Word of God truly speaks, on virtually every page, of God's Son who became flesh and made his dwelling among us.
