The Miracles of the Old Testament: Wonders That Point to Christ

Long before the Gospels, God split a sea, rained bread from heaven, and sent fire on a drenched altar. The Old Testament miracles are not magic tricks; they reveal who God is and what He is doing, and again and again they foreshadow Christ, the true bread, the true rock, the greater than Jonah. Each page below takes one wonder, tells what happened and what it revealed, and follows the line that runs to Jesus.
