Well, sleep is eluding me at the moment. xD
Just wanted to point out one thing that just occurred to me:
The Bible itself seems to make a clear connection between Christ and the sacrifices of the OT.
There are numerous verses, if I recall, that refer to Jesus as "the lamb of God", and there are also numerous verses about Jesus' blood being atonement for sins. Like the blood of sacrificed animals.
The Bible backs itself and so no doctrine should be based on one verse alone. But this isn't just one verse.
Anyway I get the idea you're getting a little tired of debate, so in respect of that maybe I should just call it quits here? Debate does get pretty tiring.
44 Then He said to them, "These are the words which I spoke to you while I was still with you,
that all things must be fulfilled which were written in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms concerning Me."
All the animal sacrifices were a shadow of what Jesus' sacrifice on the cross would fulfill.
He is our Passover Lamb.
He is our High Priest [Aaron].
He is our Prophet [Moses]
He is our King [David]
1 To the Chief Musician. Set to 'The Deer of the Dawn.' A Psalm of David.
My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me? Why are You so far from helping Me, And from the words of My groaning?
Psalm 22:1
46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, "Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?" that is,
"My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?"
Matthew 27:46
18 They
divide My garments among them, And for My clothing they cast lots. Psalm 22:18
35 Then they crucified Him, and divided His garments, casting lots, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet:
"They divided My garments among them, And for My clothing they cast lots." Matthew 27:35
7 All those who see Me ridicule Me; They shoot out the lip,
they shake the head, saying, 8
"He trusted in the Lord, let Him rescue Him; Let Him deliver Him, since He delights in Him!"
Psalm 22:7-8
39 And those who passed by blasphemed Him,
wagging their heads 43
He trusted in God; let Him deliver Him now if He will have Him; for He said, 'I am the Son of God.' "
Matthew 27:39
All the Law and Prophets and Psalms are a prophetic type or shadow of Jesus Christ.
