4 Powerful Stories from Exodus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy

In this video, we explore how the Old Testament, particularly Exodus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy, foreshadows Christ. Key takeaways include:

  1. Exodus 17 - The Struck Rock: Moses strikes a rock, and water flows to quench the people's thirst. Paul later describes this rock as a symbol of Christ, who was struck to bring us life-giving salvation (1 Corinthians 10:4).

  2. Exodus 32 - The Golden Calf: When the Israelites worship a golden calf, Moses brings the law, resulting in 3,000 deaths. This contrasts with the Pentecost in Acts 2, where the Holy Spirit brings 3,000 people to faith.

  3. Numbers 21 - The Bronze Snake: After the people grumble, God sends venomous snakes. Moses lifts a bronze snake, and those who look at it are saved, symbolizing Christ being lifted on the cross for our salvation (John 3:16).

The video highlights these Old Testament events as shadows pointing to Christ's redemptive work.
