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.
