How do we know that Christ is the fulfillment of the Old Testament?

Answered in 1 source

Christ fulfills the Old Testament as the substance of what the Ark of the Covenant represented.

The Old Testament, particularly the symbolism embodied in the Ark of the Covenant, points directly to the person and work of Jesus Christ. The Ark, which housed the Ten Commandments, served as a shadow of the true substance found in Christ, who is referred to as the mediator between God and humanity (1 Timothy 2:5). The book of Hebrews emphasizes that the law was a shadow of the good things to come, demonstrating that Jesus is the ultimate fulfillment of the sacrificial system and the righteous demands of the law. Thus, through Christ, who embodies grace and truth, the full revelation of God is made available to us.
