Our approach has been to unequivocally verify Jesus in each of the first five books of the Bible, the Pentateuch. We’ve exceeded our goal in Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, and Numbers. Now we are going to focus on just two sites in Deuteronomy that beautifully foreshadow Jesus.

The Rock of Numbers
The Book of Numbers, part 2 – Well, we’ve seen Jesus, once again, in the book of Numbers. I hope we are more acutely aware that all the Scriptures speak to us about Jesus, our Savior.
Book of Numbers
The difficulties, battles, and temptations which the Church faces, have been choreographed to us through the Israelites travail in their wilderness journey from Egypt to Canaan. Their wilderness journey speaks to the Church.
Full of Types and Foreshadows
As we are seeing, every aspect of the Day of Atonement is full of types and foreshadows. The imperfect high priests have been replaced by Jesus, the perfect High Priest. The imperfect mediation between the people and God is now perfect because Jesus is the sole mediator between them.
Our First Sighting
The word atonement is the key that unlocks the book of Leviticus so we can find Jesus, and God gives us this key at the very beginning of the book.
Leviticus, The Cost of Sin
Among other things, Leviticus tells us about the cost of sin. We begin to see that within the enumeration of the various sacrifices and offerings God is spiritually leading the children of Israel as well as physically leading them.
Jesus in the Exodus
The exodus of the Israelites and the return of Joseph’s bones to the promised land speaks to the work of Jesus.
Moses was a Preview of Jesus
Jesus is the Prophet that Moses declared. The whole point of this article is to demonstrate that the life and events of Moses predicted the actions and authenticity of the one true Redeemer, Jesus the Messiah.
Joseph Points To Jesus
A lesser known fact is that the book of Genesis has twice as much text about Joseph as Abraham.
