How do we know that Christ is portrayed in the Old Testament narratives?

Answered in 1 source

Christ is clearly depicted through various types and events in the Old Testament, including Nehemiah's role.

The Old Testament contains numerous types and symbols pointing to Christ, affirming the idea that God is the divine author of Scripture. Nehemiah, who was tasked with rebuilding the wall of Jerusalem, serves as a type of Christ who intercedes for God's people. In his actions, Nehemiah exemplifies how Christ came to restore and protect the church. As we see Nehemiah mourn for Jerusalem and pray earnestly for his people, we are reminded of Christ's own grief over humanity's sin and His mediatory role, fulfilling the prophecies discussed in the Old Testament. This continuity in the narrative strengthens our faith in the sovereignty of God and the truth of the gospel.
