The Old Testament contains numerous prophecies and types that point explicitly to the coming of Jesus Christ as the Messiah.
In Acts 28:23, Paul demonstrates that he expounded on the kingdom of God, preaching Jesus from the law of Moses and the prophets, revealing that the Old Testament is replete with references to the coming Christ. For instance, Jesus himself noted that if one believed Moses, he would believe in Him, as Moses wrote about Christ (John 5:46). This continuity through scripture shows that the entire biblical narrative from Genesis to Malachi points to the redemption accomplished by Jesus, providing a deep-rooted theological foundation for recognizing Christ's lordship and messianic role.
