How do we know that Old Testament saints believed in Christ's atonement?

Answered in 1 source

Old Testament saints discussed Christ's atoning death with Him at the Transfiguration, showing their hope in His sacrifice.

During the Transfiguration, Moses and Elijah conversed with Jesus about His impending death, which illustrates that they understood the significance of His atonement. Despite the limited clarity of Old Testament revelations, they recognized the necessity of Christ's sacrifice as the foundation of faith throughout scripture. This conversation signifies that from the beginning, believers looked forward to a promised sacrifice, reaffirming the belief in a single, effective means of reconciliation between God and humanity through Christ alone.
