Yes I see the manna as a type of Christ...a type of Gods provision for His people..A type of Gods mercy...

I see it as Jesus expressed it: "I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world."

Exactly says RN *smiling*...When there was a discussion of John 6 I kept asking "What did the hearers of the discourse hear and understand?"

They understood Jesus was saying Yahawh (I am) the bread that came down from heaven to give you life.

They were shocked...First he said the "personal name "of God out loud...the name NO man said Yahawh..then he said Yahaw was the manna and HE was the manna....they understood..He was claiming he was God..He was the bread of life to that kept the Jewish people alive in the desert..and He was the way to eternal life then ...not the rules or traditions that they thought would earn them heaven...

The manna a type of Gods mercy and provision...a type of Christ

And what is that bread, A? Is it His flesh now? Think about it. What was the bread he fed the thousands and had left over? That he gave to the disciples to hand out that never ended? That preserved the Jews in the desert but they had to "eat it new each day". John 1 verse one.
