In the Bible, God often paints spiritual concepts with the bright colors of illustration: 'Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world' (John 1:29). But it is not just Bible teaching that can be metaphoric; Bible events can be, too. God often worked out Bible history - real events, objects, and people - to show portraits of the greatest of all subjects - his beloved Son. This book examines eight such Old Testament pictures and demonstrates how they point us forward to Jesus Christ, the coming King.
