The writings of the Old Testament are seen as foreshadowing and prophesying the coming of Christ as evident through various passages.
The New Testament confirms that the Old Testament was written to foreshadow Christ's work. For example, the prophecies in Isaiah describe the suffering servant who bears our iniquities (Isaiah 53:5). Additionally, the types and shadows within the sacrificial system in Leviticus lead us to understand Christ as the ultimate sacrifice, as explained in Hebrews 10. Jesus himself reiterated this truth, explaining to his followers that the entire law and the prophets testified about him. The continuity of narrative from creation to Christ demonstrates how all scripture indeed points to Him.
