How do we know the Old Testament points to Christ?

Answered in 4 sources

The Old Testament is filled with prophecies and types that find their fulfillment in Christ, especially in Isaiah's writings.

The Old Testament contains numerous prophecies and symbols that point to the coming Messiah, demonstrating a unified narrative that culminates in Jesus Christ. Isaiah, in particular, is noted for his Christocentric focus, with many of his prophecies prefiguring elements of Jesus' life, death, and resurrection. The fulfillment of these prophecies in the New Testament confirms God's sovereign plan for salvation, illustrating how Christ is the ultimate realization of the covenants and promises made in the Old Testament. John notes that Isaiah spoke of Christ because he saw His glory, reinforcing the understanding that the Old Testament writings are not separable from the New Testament revelation.
