Week 81: Seeing Jesus In OT - The Ark of Covenant


Last week, we examine the Noah's ark and see the various section of the ark as a type of Jesus. This week, we will examine another ark. And that is the Ark of Covenant.

Exodus 25:10-22

10 “And they shall make an ark of acacia wood; two and a half cubits shall be its length, a cubit and a half its width, and a cubit and a half its height. 11 And you shall overlay it with pure gold, inside and out you shall overlay it, and shall make on it a molding of gold all around. 12 You shall cast four rings of gold for it, and put them in its four corners; two rings shall be on one side, and two rings on the other side. 13 And you shall make poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold. 14 You shall put the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark, that the ark may be carried by them. 15 The poles shall be in the rings of the ark; they shall not be taken from it. 16 And you shall put into the ark the Testimony which I will give you.

Week 80: Seeing Jesus In OT - Noah's Ark


Hebrews 10:7

Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come—
In the volume of the book it is written of Me—
To do Your will, O God.’

The Bible is all about Jesus Christ. When we keep that in mind and read the Bible in that perspectives, we can find Him on every page  – not just in the New Testament, but also in the Old Testament.

Week 79: Seeing Jesus In OT - The Passover Lamb


This week, in continuation on the series "Seeing Jesus in OT," we will look at the story of Moses delivering the Israelites' slavery from the hands of Pharaoh of Egypt.

Moses, after his ninth attempt of plagues brought before Egypt, failed to convince Pharaoh to release the children of Israel. On his tenth attempt, Moses told Pharaoh that in his refusal to release the Israelites, all the first born in the land of Egypt will be struck. This took place in the Passover.
