How do we know Jesus is represented in the Old Testament?

Answered in 2 sources

Jesus is represented in the Old Testament through the figure of Joshua and various types and shadows, illustrating God's redemptive plan.

In the sermon, the preacher points out that Jesus' name in Greek is the same as Joshua in Hebrew, emphasizing that Joshua, who leads the Israelites into the Promised Land, is a type of Christ. Throughout the Old Testament, stories and figures like Moses and the sacrificial system point to the coming of Christ, who fulfills the law and brings salvation. The narrative of Exodus and the journey towards the Promised Land are laden with theological implications that reveal Christ as the ultimate deliverer. This typology is crucial as it shows the unity and continuity of God's redemptive plan from the Old Testament to the New.
