I’m not going to do your research for you. I gave you the proof that Jesus was spoken of in the Old Testament. Do with it what you want

Cant's stand the heat, hey? Give me just one verse where Moses mentions Jesus, just one.

Consider what’s written in the first book of Moses, in Genesis 3:15. God is addressing the snake after it tempted Adam and Eve to sin: “And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.”

That is perhaps the first time that Scripture speaks of a Messiah who will defeat the one who facilitated sin. This Messiah is Jesus. And this account was probably mentioned by Jesus when he was walking with those two men on the road following His resurrection.

There are numerous other places in Scripture that speak of this Messiah and what He will accomplish; In Jesus all these prophetic writings have been fulfilled.

“I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren and will put My words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command Him. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him” (Deut. 18:18-19)”(Moses speaking)

The books of Moses who wrote the Pentateuch record other prophecies such as Balaam..”I have seen a star arise out of Jacob”

How about Moses recording the greatest prophecy of all, made to Eve and the Serpent... that the “seed of Eve would have emnity with the seed of the serpent and that her seed would crush the serpent’s head while his heel would be bruised by it”

How about the story Moses records of Abraham offering up to God as a sacrifice, his beloved son Isaac...with God staying his hand, “and providing a ram tangled in a bush” as a suitable sacrifice. Talk about a strong HINT, about what God was going to do some 2000 years later!

So Moses directly prophesied of Jesus as well as recorded instances where God had prophesied directly by words to other men or by symbolism(Abraham on Moriah...renaming the place Jehohvah Gyreh...”God provides”). All written at least 3500 years ago, though Abraham lived some 1500 years before the books were written down.

Abraham had met Melchizidek, the priestly order of whom Jesus belonged to according to Paul. Melchizidek was an enigma, just existing...like God winking in time...then vanishing from the Bible again until Paul mentions him in the NT. Some have argued it was Christ in a pre-incarnate form...who knows, though I suspect the answer will blow our minds someday!

So much for Moses never have spoken of Christ!
