Jesus in the Old Testament – Adam 5

2023-08-08

Jesus in the Old Testament is a series of posts that will offer my readers a chance to consider pictures or shadows of Jesus in the Old Testament. As mentioned in the introduction to this series, some may be obvious, some may be not so obvious, and some may simply be a facet of the Lord those reading may not have considered previously.

I hope as we venture through this series, we will see the Lord in many wonderful pictures throughout the Old Testament.

SEEING JESUS IN

ADAM

GENTILE BRIDE

Genesis 3
20 The man called his wife’s name Eve, because she was the mother of all living.

Ephesians 5
25 Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her,
32 This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church.

Both Adam and Eve were technically non-Jews, and therefore “of the nations” in the mind of the first century believer. With this point of view, Eve may be considered a gentile bride for Adam.
The church is made up of Jews and Gentiles, and may be thought of as one entity, one person that has no ethnic distinction, much like Eve.

ADAM

HEAD OF CREATION

Genesis 2
7 then the LORD God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature. 8 And the LORD God planted a garden in Eden, in the east, and there he put the man whom he had formed.
15 The LORD God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to work it and keep it.

Romans 5
12 Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned–

Moses describes the creation of Adam and His placing Him in the garden to work it and to keep it. He was created as the crowning centerpiece of all creation! Paul, in the New Testament speaks of Adam as the representative head of creation, and as the head of creation, due to his disobedience to the Father, death spread to all of creation.
Jesus has established a new creation, and within that new creation, through His obedience to the Father, life spreads to all.

And when he drew near and saw the city, he wept over it,

saying, “Would that you, even you, had known on this day the things that make for peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes.

For the days will come upon you, when your enemies will set up a barricade around you and surround you and hem you in on every side

and tear you down to the ground, you and your children within you. And they will not leave one stone upon another in you, because you did not know the time of your visitation.”

Jesus in the Old Testament – Introduction

2023-06-29

As we come close to the end of our series on Old Testament Messianic Prophesies, where we have reviewed Old Testament prophecies of the Messiah, I have been drawn to those instances in the Old Testament that point to Jesus in a somewhat veiled way.

It began with just a few examples of shadows of Christ in the Old Testament, but as I have considered this added facet of Jesus and His pre-eminence in the Old Testament, these pictures of Christ are began occurring with greater and greater frequency.

Examples of these shadows or types or pictures of Jesus in the Old Testament are sometimes very obvious, and referred to in the New Testament. A very recognizable picture is that of Jonah and the whale, prefiguring Christ’s resurrection. Some shadows or pictures or types are a bit more veiled and are the “Easter Eggs” I love to find. Some that I suggest may be somewhat vague in connection with the Lord Jesus. I will leave that to my readers discernment.

Throughout this series, I will be providing posts with a table similar to the Old Testament Messianic Prophecies series, with the following format.

SEEING JESUS IN

CHARACTER/ANIMAL/EVENT/PLACE/THING

SHADOW/TYPE/FIGURE

OLD TESTAMENT PASSAGE OR REFERENCE

NEW TESTAMENT PASSAGE

I hope as we venture through this series, we will see the Lord in many wonderful pictures throughout the Old Testament. Some of them, quite frankly are surprising, some may be obvious, and some may be somewhat unconventional. Nevertheless, as one thinks on a particular aspect or likeness in the subject in reflecting our Savior, the picture of Christ becomes one bit larger, better and fuller.

Although it is common to consider specific Old Testament saints as the method used to typify Christ, I have found that God does not restrict His telling of His Son’s character to a reflection of mere people, but also uses animals, buildings, places, events or things that prefigure the Lord in the Old Testament.

Typology Table – Word Study Spreadsheet Download

I have developed a spreadsheet with five of the Greek terms used in the New Testament, referring to Old Testament types or figures that may be of interest to some of my readers. Please feel free to download this spreadsheet for your records and use.

Old Testament Messianic Prophecies – Prophecy #326

2023-06-28

The prophecy of the Lord Jesus for our consideration and edification, written centuries prior to His earthly existence is

Prophecy #326

Description

At His coming, Israel to have unfit leaders

Old Testament Prophecy

Zechariah 11:4-6a

Thus said the Lord my God: “Become shepherd of the flock doomed to slaughter.
Those who buy them slaughter them and go unpunished, and those who sell them say, ‘Blessed be the Lord, I have become rich,’ and their own shepherds have no pity on them.
For I will no longer have pity on the inhabitants of this land, declares the Lord. Behold, I will cause each of them to fall into the hand of his neighbor, and each into the hand of his king, and they shall crush the land, and I will deliver none from their hand.”

New Testament Fulfillment

Matt 23:1-4

Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples,

“The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses’ seat,

so do and observe whatever they tell you, but not the works they do. For they preach, but do not practice.

They tie up heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on people’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to move them with their finger.
