I love finding the foreshadowing events in the Bible. Like the prophet (which one aludes me at the moment) making a pebble float on the water, then Jesus made Peter (whose name means rock) float on the water. Or when Abraham was going to sacrifice his son Isaac, foreshadowing God's sacrifice. God stopped him, and provided a ram with his horns caught in thorns to be sacrificed in Isaac's place, foreshadowing that God would provide a sacrifice to take Man's place...even with thorns on his head.

Amen!

Not to mention how in Jeremiah it is told how God will forgive our wickedness and recognize our sins no more. Praise God!

God Bless!

Yes,, I love those examples of the Old Testiment prophecies fore shaddowing the coming of Christ, and also, the events that is to come, ( foreshaddows in the Old Test, and New Test ).
I don't know what Prophet you were reffering to in the Old Test about floating pebbles, but, in the book of II Kings Elisha floated a axehead that fell into the Jordan river by one of his servant/students in II King chapter 6 verses 1 - 7 chapter 6 verses 1-7

1: And the sons of the prophets said unto Elisha, Behold now, the place where we dwell with thee is too strait for us.
2: Let us go, we pray thee, unto Jordan, and take thence every man a beam, and let us make us a place there, where we may dwell. And he answered, Go ye.
3: And one said, Be content, I pray thee, and go with thy servants. And he answered, I will go.
4: So he went with them. And when they came to Jordan, they cut down wood.
5: But as one was felling a beam, the axe head fell into the water: and he cried, and said, Alas, master! for it was borrowed.
6: And the man of God said, Where fell it? And he shewed him the place. And he cut down a stick, and cast it in thither; and the iron did swim.
7: Therefore said he, Take it up to thee. And he put out his hand, and took it.
