If there is a correllation between Christ an Moses like the 40 years in the desert and the 40 days of temptation in the wilderness. What do I do with that information, what is the relevance? I know this is important, I am just not connecting the dots.
Note this is not about things like Isaiah 53 or Psalms 22. |
Hello Jd.
Yes, many see a direct parallel between the first exodus with moses, and the new exodus with Jesus
If you list the events in exodus on a legal pad, then list many of the main events in the Nt about Jesus you will see it.
Mt 2:15, -out of Egypt I have called my Son
1 Cor 5:7 - Christ our passover is sacrificed for us
Hebrews 8:2- Christ the true tabernacle
Jn 6:31-35- true manna

1Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;
2Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house.
3For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honour than the house.
4For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God.
5And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after;
6But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.

Jonathan Edwards wrote about this in His writing of The great work of God in the history of redemption.
On sermonaudio, Kit Culver is preaching a series of messages on this he refers to it as recovering sacred space.
Remember these verses,
Quote:
25Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:
26Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?
27And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.

44And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.
45Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,
