Jesus in the Old Testament

Oh yeah, the parting of the Red Sea, writing out the Ten Commandments on the stone tablets, leading the Israelites out of Egypt, those were some good times, yep. I bet Jesus had lots of fun back then. Wait, what? Jesus couldn't have been around for those things because he wasn't even born yet?

Blasphemy! No, seriously.

It's interesting to me just how present Jesus is in the Old Testament. Granted, he's called by a few other names, since the name Jesus is only actually in the New Testament. However, almost every other name or title Jesus has in the New Testament is used in the Old Testament.

I don't have time to list the examples I'm familiar with, but apparently Moses liked to gossip and David knew to whom he was talking. And as the commander of the Lord's Army, Jesus certainly made an impression on Joshua.
