How do we know Jesus is the fulfillment of the types and shadows in the Old Testament?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus fulfills the types and shadows of the Old Testament by being our ultimate High Priest and sacrifice.

Jesus Christ is recognized as the fulfillment of the types and shadows of the Old Testament as articulated in Hebrews 10:9-10. The rituals and structures, including the veil, were symbolic representations that pointed to the redemptive work of Christ. The veil itself, as described in Exodus, separated the holy of holies, where God's presence dwelt, from the rest of the tabernacle, illustrating the need for a mediator. Hebrews elucidates that Jesus, through His sacrifice, has provided the once-for-all atonement necessary for believers to enter into a direct relationship with God. Consequently, His role as the perfect High Priest and sacrifice underscores that the entirety of Jewish worship was incomplete without Him.
