How do we know the substance of the drink offering relates to Christ?

Answered in 1 source

The drink offering is seen as a foreshadowing of Christ’s sacrifice, where the wine represents His blood, pivotal for the New Covenant.

In the New Testament, Jesus aligns the wine from the drink offering with His own blood during the Last Supper, stating, 'This is my blood of the New Testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins' (Matthew 26:28). This connection underscores the drink offering as a prophetic symbol pointing directly to the redemptive work of Christ. Just as the drink offering was poured out for God, Jesus poured out His life for humanity's salvation, establishing a new covenant through His shed blood, which is the ultimate 'Drink offering' detailed throughout Scripture. The continuity from the Old Testament sacrifices to Christ's work reinforces the sovereign grace view that God has orchestrated redemption throughout history.
