How to Find Jesus in the Old Testament: part 1 

AMEN! 20 yrs ago a neighbour showed me the prophecies about Jesus in the OT and it did convince me and convicted me into become a follower of Jesus.

No one has ever taught me this. Thank you for your ministry!

i once wanted do convert to Judiasm... for some reason i could only read The Old Testament. Amd today? Praised be God... Im so strong in belief in Jesus as Messiah... The Old Testament made me believe in Jesus... God is so Beautiful and AMAZING... Trinity.. My favorit doctrine today. And i struggled with it at one point

Took the challenge...listening to this series all the way through!! Day 1 - 4/13/21.

I like you right off the bat, unpretentious, cool, honest, engaging and consumed with a VERY important subject. When we read ACTS we see over and over again that Paul, Barnabus, Philip, Steven and others were masterful at explaining to the Jews how, through the scriptures, Jesus was the messiah! Why are churches not telling us how to do the same thing?! All they had was the Old Testament, let’s try to do the same thing! Thanks

0:01 Intro 5:07 Goal is to Know Christ 6:18 Allegory 7:02 JRR Tolkien example 8:57 C.S Lewis example 10:20 This is an ESV Bible study 11:34 Luke 4:16 13:38 “Fulfilled” Isaiah prophecy 13:59 John 5:39 15:14 An objection to Skeptics 15:54 Expect Jesus in Scriptures 16:16 John 5:45 “Moses wrote of me” 17:36 Pharisees held accountable to OT Scriptures being about Jesus 18:13 Luke 24:13- 20:46 Jesus’ Rebuke “Oh foolish ones” 22:10 The Danger of Selective Reading 23:12 Luke 24:26-(continued) 26:59 Opened Scripture to us 29:03 The Book of Acts 29:41 Acts 3:18

This is the core of Christian faith- Jesus is the Great I Am. May God continue to fill you with great wisdom, be your strength in weakness and protect you from the evil one.

I'm glad that you teach this subject, because there's to many Christians these days don't know this.

"The New is in the Old concealed; the Old is in the New revealed'- an important foundation of New Covenant Theology. Keep up the good work!

I am always moved by your enthusiasm, Mike. You're excitement about what you're teaching is infectious, and it makes me excited to also learn. God has richly blessed us all by giving you this gift of teaching to help us learn of him!

So excited for this series. Love reading of Jesus in the old testament it helps reinforce my faith.

I find Jesus ALL THRU the old testament, showing up everywhere. So glad you did this series, Mike. I'm getting out my notebook and highlighter for this one, my friend 😍😍

Thanks a million times for this bible study.

Thank you, Mike! I have been teaching Jesus in the Old Testament for over 10 years and following you for a couple of years, but just discovered this series. I'm SO excited to work my way through this series before I begin teaching again in the fall. GREAT blessing! Thanks for sharing.

Mike, just came upon your videos recently (heard my son listening to one of them) and I am so very excited! I learned the basis of this teaching nearly 40 years ago, and it has been such a joy to read the OT and to see those fore-shadowings of Christ. I have my notebook out and just started with Part 1 and will be working through the entire series. But I know from seeing your listing of videos that there is so much more to watch. Thank you so much for providing this teaching, it is so difficult to find teachers who go into such depth while maintaining the joy and glory of Jesus as the point of it all!!!! Thank you!!!

It's illuminating to revisit the OT and discover the second Yahweh Figure Christ. We can see Regent and Co-Regent relationship throughout the OT and it establishes foundation for NT Trinity theology. Thanks Mike, I am enthusiastic about this series and pray that we can see Jesus in the Law, Prophets, and Writings as He taught in the New to come to know Christ in a deeper way.

Listened to these when I was a new Christian a few years ago. Thankful to God for you Mike! I know you probably won’t see this. But this saints soul is full of gratitude. May you be blessed

Thank you for loving JESUS CHRIST. PRAISE JESUS CHRIST

My joy in listening to this, and the reason for choosing it, is Melchizadek. I have often wondered about the statement, " in the order of..." and what it meant. Your description is concise and I got more than I expected. Thank you!

Great teaching. If you think about it, the apostles only used the old testament scripture because the new testament wasn't actually complete yet as they were living it out and writing it.

My friend highly recommends this series....thank you so much, Mike!

I love the way you are excited and gitty. Glowing all over. Thanks for what you do and the heart with which you do it. God bless you!

My mother and I finished your Evidence for the Bible series last night and we loved it (we learned many new things) and we started this series tonight and we're really looking forward to watching the rest of it. You're such a gifted teacher, Mike. We need more people and ministries like you. God bless!

I love your material Mike. Your humility draws me; your clearly love Jesus. Praying for your personal preservation and expanding ministry.

It is Awe inspiring to visualize how he had even said the old TESTIMENT spoke of him. The PHARISEES could not understand how he was so knowledgeable about scriptures... No personal scriptures were available only the temple had these scrolls... At 12 these Jewish leaders were amazed at his level of scripture knowledge.

Great series.....can't wait to watch the rest of it. God bless !

28:00 and my heart is filled with joy and excitement about this study! Thank you!

I'm so excited to go through this whole series. What an absolute blessing! Thank you for your time and passion to bring this to me. I will absorb all I can as I desire to know Him more and more, and to share Him with those around me. Thank you!

Just a terrific topic, and I can't wait for the next set of videos in this series!

With such clear devotional theologically rich biblical preaching, my heart hurts for Pastor Andy Stanley

I love this topic. I love these talks.

Just getting to this Study. Fantastic new set of insights for me. Thank you Pastor Mike. You Ministry is in our prayers daily. God Bless.

I am excited!! I was watching one of your recent videos and you referenced this series so I looked for it. In the last month or two(?!) I decided to read the Bible from Genesis onward, while also reading in the New Testament. (I think I’ve probably read it a number of times but this was like- “alrighty then. A to Z, let’s do this!” I’ve never done Bible reading plans, but have done studies and read read read on my own.) What a revelation!! I ‘happened’ to start reading in Hebrews! - and I happily shared with friends and loved ones that everything in it pointed back to the Old Testament and Jesus!! They WENT TOGETHER!!! Thank you for expounding and explaining this!! I’m listening and saying YES!! That’s what I saw and read too!! I read the Bible nearly every day, first got saved at age 8, then walked in my own will until I became a young adult. I attend church regularly, etc. (just to explain that I am not new in reading and pondering and studying the scriptures) BUT God is opening it in such new ways to me!! I don’t know why, at age 67, an old woman, lol, I would FINALLY be learning some of these things!! I’m thankful, so thankful. The Spirit of God is revealing it to me. I don’t know if it makes sense to say that I have found that the scriptures are continually unfolding and bringing light and truth, and every time I start reading a passage I’ve read before- there is deeper truth and meaning? But I’ve almost questioned my sanity- I’m that pumped!! This is entirely new!!! I’m excited for what God is doing! Thank you for teaching this!!

This stuff excites me SOOOOOOO much!!!!! AHHH!! 😁 THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for this series!!! You are a blessing from God and I'm so grateful that this is online!!! I'm beyond excited to watch the rest. (I started watching some of this series a long time ago but I'm re-starting so that I'm not just listening in the background while I drive or something, but actually paying close attention with my Bible open!)

I am so in love with you!!!😍 like really.....Your teaching, which by the way, I've been binge watching....But it gives me life!!! The Holy Spirit has been teaching me this way...in my personal studies....and, like you, EVERYTIME, HE HAS OPENED MY EYES TO ANOTHER TRUTH...MARRYING THE OT WITH THE NEW...LIKE YOU, I'M EXCITED, however, unlike you, I cry....Its such good soul food.....I cry....Revelation makes me cry....SO SO GOOD!😍💖👍 Years ago... Marilynn Hickey wrote a book...finding Jesus in every book of the Bible....I really do believe....The Holy Spirit gave it to her first....and slowly....Truth began to be uncovered to the body.... Thank you....for solid biblical teaching....😉💖💖💖

I just started watching this playlist about Jesus in the OT in preparation for a video I want to make. Thank you for all of your work, Pastor Mike!

watching mike winger is a blessing honestly.

So much to discover, thank you so much Mike, you are a blessing! 💞

Thank you so much for this topic! Appreciate the humor along the way as well!

This is crazy cool. Only part 1 and it’s packed full of awesomeness. I’m really looking forward to the rest. Your enthusiasm for this is clearly the reason God chose you to do this presentation. 💝

Thank you for this! Just saturated with part one today planing to study with you everyday. When you teach about the walk to Emmaus I was filled with the Holy Spirit. God bless you!!

I was watching another video of yours and you mentioned this series. I don't think I've ever been more excited to go through a study. Thank you for all the time and work you putting into all you do.

Way cool series , pastor Mike...I am hooked already !! I love these kinds of lessons for finding Jesus Christ in the Old Testament...I whole-heartedly believe God wove these types and pictures throughout His Book out of His love for those willing to put in the work and search with their whole heart in the Spirit...thanks so much for this series !!

bless you for starting this series and for asking god for wisdom to understand. i learned a lot from part 19 of this series. i look forward to learning more from the other parts.

This is REALLY helpful !! Thank you !!!

Well done! Thank you for sharing this teaching with us. This was truly enlightening.

What profound sound doctrine you teach Pastor Mike, I'm so much bless by hearing your teaching Biblical truth. I'm so glad that I have found your channel by searching about Calvinist views on election and predestination❤ Praying for you and your ministry God bless.

Yay soooooooooo good!!!!! Incredible Playlist!!!

Thank you for this teaching!

I find your work strangely soothing and when i just want to relax while cleaning and take in some spiritual meal, ,I turn to your channel. Grateful and blessed, -Teresa

LOVE This!

22:10-22:15 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Amen

Great video. Cant wait to get into the rest of the series.

Hey Mike, So when are you gonna write a book about this stuff? Seriously, your typology work is super helpful. Love everything you do (even though I am a Calvinist). Keep up the good work! :)

What an awesome topic. .. super keen !

I just found this series though have been following you for a while...am so excited 😁 even though have not started watching it yet...love from Kenya 🇰🇪 ❤

Yes, there are so many good videos that can help Christians and doubters but I really like these series because it is going to the CENTER, JESUS, and linking OT with NT. So important and anointed. Thank you!

I doubt teacher Mike will see my comment but I gotta say it...I find it very hard to stomach many people in this time I find myself. I love like Jesus teaches, but it's so hard to like very many. Teacher Mike is completely endearing, however. I see my own joy and zeal for The Word reflected and surpassed in him. It's easy to see how our Creator can hold us in such Love when I run across teaching from Mike Winger. So I thank you, Mike, and Abba, Father for sharing!!

This is just the group of teachings I've been looking for!!!

Thank you Mike for this teaching.!

A few brothers and I began doing a deep study of the OT and I found Jesus quite a lot. I did not think He was in the OT so much.

Great teaching. We thank God.

Wow! I loved this! Thanks, Mike!

Thank you for the teachings

Excellent message. This last week I was thinking back 20 or so years ago when I shared The Gospel from the OT to a group of Israelis at a waterhole in the middle of Australia.

Just found you content. Loving it! God bless.

Thank you for this!❤

Great video Mike! I cant wait to finish this series. My favorite joke was the road to Emmaus xD God bless =)

This is just such a SMART WAY to do this study and I am.all in for 18 more. This is what I value. PASTOR Mike. Thank you! ☆Teresa

Thank you pastor for this teaching.

Love this!!! Thank you , exponentially.

Thanks sir loved it! Series !

When I was younger and watched the Narnia movie, I went absolutely nuts with excitement when I saw the whole Aslan part and I told my mom. If I knew at the time that the book was written by CS Lewis I would have just been like “Oh cool, that makes sense.”

Sending a virtual round of applause your way! 👏 Your latest video was both entertaining and insightful. Your passion for your content is contagious, and it's always a pleasure to watch. Keep up the great work!

I am late to the party, but excited to got through this series of Bible studies. Loving how much Bible is used (which sadly is not always a given for a Bible study). This is great! Thank you Mike!

This is well done Mike. Thank you!

Mike you have really inspired me about my faith in God

God bless you brother! Glory glory Glory go God!

I enjoy your lessons Sir, God bless you always, as you continue to bless others. Only God🙏

Deep down in Pastor Mike's YT Channel, I reached (AND SAVED) this playlist. Hello!

This is great stuff honestly

I noticed this too. I'm glad others are being shown too. We love you Jesus

Thank you so much. This is a much needed teaching.

He is on every single page. GLORY TO THE LAMB WHO IS WORTHY!

Awesome! Ty

Pastor Mike, Thanks so much for your learning and applied scholarship. You did a great job taking on Bart Ehrman.

You're doing a great job brother. Greetings from India👍

Thank you, Pastor Mike, for feeding the sheep with meat! Excellent introduction. Never mind those crazy, negative comments you get; ugh! You are in my prayers. God bless you.

pointing out the jesus of the ot is a good evangelistic approach to sharing with god's chosen people who are seeking the truth. i have heard so many whose eyes were opened when reading isaiah 53 the reading of which is skipped in synagogues which has the program to read the whole of the tanahk in one year every single year since kingdom come.

Awesome!!

This ministers to the spirit... absolutely

Fiyaaa! ! 🔥🔥🔥

This is beautiful! Thank you for the time and passion put into making this video, it's so informative.... Do you think that part of why they realized who He was at the point of breaking bread could've also been because they would've seen His wounds when he gave them the bread?

Thanks Mike, I like your vision. I see the Old Testament as a textual fractal with the same recurring pattern: Creation / Fall of Man Birth of Christ Life of Christ Death of Christ And Frequently, The Institution of the Church. As soon as it ends, it begins again. Interpreting scripture based on its location within this progression is a powerful tool for understanding the life of Christ.

Thank you for this wonderful study, Mike. One cannot understand the New Testament without the OT. In the first place, most of the New Testament is really a commentary on the Old Testament. You cannot understand the Revelation, for example, without the prophets. I believe that any study of the end times should begin in the Old Testament. And this is precisely why we cannot "disconnect" from the Old Testament, the Scriptures that Jesus and the Apostles all used, as some would have us believe today. We must reject this false teaching. "27 And beginning at Moses and all the Prophets, He expounded to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself.".... 32 And they said to one another, “Did not our heart burn within us while He talked with us on the road, and while He opened the Scriptures to us?” Luke 24:27, 32 It seems to me that this would be a good way to provoke the Jews to jealousy, showing them their Messiah in their own Scriptures. In fact, isn't this where we should start? I look forward to listening to the rest of the series!

Loving this content! Do you have a study guide or outline to pair with it?

Hi Mike, thanks for all of your content! I have been greatly blessed by it! I'm just wondering what are some of the sources that you used throughout this series, besides the Bible of course? My community group just started exploring this topic and I'd like to point them to different sources including your videos. Thanks again!

I was fortunate to have attended an 8 week series of Sunday school classes on Christology at Christ Chapel in FtW, where I attended a coupla years ago. My world was turned on its ear! My eyes were opened anew as you said, it was as though the scriptures were opened to me! I was amazed at how many “types” of Messiah were in the OT…. So many “pictures” of what we were to be watching for in the Messiah. I was SO excited to learn these exciting descriptions of our Savior! …& even more excited about sharing what I learned & more! …. I have yet to find a ‘study’ designed for the interested layman. I have found several books or studies that are on a more learned level, such as for a seminarian or post-graduate level. Any help at all or direction would be much appreciated! Thanks for this entire teaching series! It is very exciting!!! (Regardless of the amount of coffee😜)

you're explaining my life😳😇🔥

Thank you Mike. So excited for this series. I loved the series on fulfilled prophecies too.
