1
|
Like Christ, a representative of all of humanity.
|
|
4
|
The mightiest of the judges, or warriors, of God; defeated more of Israel’s enemies in death than in life.
|
|
6
|
Prefigured Jesus by being in the belly of the whale for three days, and emerging again; Christ was in the belly of death for three days and emerged from the tomb victorious.
|
|
7
|
A son of David, just as Jesus was called the Son of David; he built the Temple just as Christ built the true Temple through His death and resurrection.
|
|
8
|
Like Christ, he ‘had nowhere to lay his head.’ He is the original stranger and foreigner. All the promises made to him were fulfilled in Christ.
|
|
11
|
Called the people to repentance, and like Jesus, a man of suffering and sorrow.
|
|
12
|
Suffered unjustly and then was exalted to save his brethren with miraculous grain.
|
|
13
|
His birth was the result of supernatural power; he is the only other human sacrifice that God commanded anywhere in Scripture.
|
|
15
|
His name means ‘rest,’ and God gave him the mandate to be fruitful and re-multiply, just like Adam.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2
|
Besides Christ, the only other mediator between God and man in salvation history; redeemer and law-giver.
|
|
3
|
Prefigured Christ by leading God’s people into the Promised Land, their inheritance, just as Christ leads us to our true inheritance – the kingdom of God.
|
|
5
|
The only person in the Old Testament to hold the double office of priest and king; Christ is prophet as well as prophet and king.
|
|
6
|
A righteous sufferer who, like Christ, was tempted by the devil.
|
|
9
|
Like Christ, a shepherd from Bethlehem, and the mightiest king of the people of Israel; united Israel.
|
|
10
|
An example of exceptional righteousness.
|
|
14
|
As Christ did on the cross, he suffered for righteousness’ sake.
