What does the Bible say about seeing Christ in the Old Testament?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible describes Christ's appearances in the Old Testament through figures like the angel of the Lord and emphasizes that He reveals Himself primarily through Scripture.
Throughout the Old Testament, Christ is revealed as the angel of the Lord who interacts with key figures such as Manoah and Moses. For instance, in Hebrews 11:26, we learn that Moses esteemed the reproach of Christ, indicating that even the Old Testament saints recognized the significance of the Messiah. They encountered God in various forms, yet ultimately, the clearest revelation of Christ comes through the Word of God, which remains the only source for believers today to see and understand Christ fully.
