Actually this was another interesting Jesus parallel. The Lord made Moses as a "God" with Aaron as him mouthpiece. In like kind, God was silent while Jesus was his mouthpiece.

Absolutely, Moses was a "type" of Christ all through the OT. You may remember when Moses was given the first set of tablets of the law he broke them and had to receive a new set, a type of Christ "breaking" the power of the old law and establishing a new one. There are many such types and truly so many that I can't imagine how anyone familiar with the law of Moses could reject them as coincidence.

Angelo can't fully accept them and keep his faith so he'll never recognize them even though they're plain to me and you. I was especially struck by Abraham and Issac. Issac carried wood, Jesus carried wood. Issac was the son of promise, Jesus was the son of promise. Issac trusted his father and went docilely. Christ trusted his father and went docilely. Abraham knew God would resurrect Issac because God's promises weren't fulfilled. Jesus knew he would be resurrected beause God's promises weren't fullfilled. I'm sure there are others I haven't even comprehended yet...

I humbly submit that that is because these "types", as you call them, exist in your mind, and not in the text. It is the result of seeking to find Jesus wherever you look. In literary criticism, this is known as "deconstructing" a text.
