***I read the bible once.... Jesus doesn't even show up till the second half. :~)***
Jesus is in the OT as well. Right from the begining.
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
And from that point forward, it was about Him
Luke 24:44 And 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.
An edifying 96 page booklet on the topic:
MESSIAH IN BOTH TESTAMENTS by Fred John Meldau is a very worthwhile read.
It even includes an interesting $1,000 offer. Not sure if it's still in print. Was published in 1967 by
