Where Adam has failed, Jesus has triumphed.
In Adam there is death, and in Jesus there is eternal life.

seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise His heel.”

clothed them.

the earth.

In Abraham’s offering Jesus revealed He is the perfect sacrifice and substitute.
Genesis 22:2 Then He said, “Take now your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love,
and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the
mountains of which I shall tell you.”
Genesis 22:13 Then Abraham lifted his eyes and looked, and there behind him was
a ram caught in a thicket by its horns. So Abraham went and took the ram, and offered
it up for a burnt offering instead of his son.
John 8:56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.

faith, preached the gospel to Abraham beforehand, saying, “In you all the nations
shall be blessed.”

1 Thessalonians 1:10 …Even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.
In the Manna in the wilderness Jesus was the true living bread from heaven.
Exodus 16:14 And when the layer of dew lifted, there, on the surface of the wilderness,
was a small round substance, as fine as frost on the ground.

Hebrews 9:1 Then indeed, even the first covenant had ordinances of divine service
and the earthly sanctuary.
Hebrews 9:2 For a tabernacle was prepared: the first part, in which was the lampstand,
the table, and the showbread, which is called the sanctuary;
Hebrews 9:3 and behind the second veil, the part of the tabernacle which is called
the Holiest of All,

all sides with gold, in which were the golden pot that had the manna, Aaron’s rod

In the Brazen Serpent in Numbers Jesus revealed His judgement for mankind on the cross.

the Son of man be lifted up:

to death, and you hang him on a tree,
Deuteronoly 21:23 his body shall not remain overnight on the tree, but you shall surely
bury him that day, so that you do not defile the land which the Lord your God is giving
you as an inheritance; for he who is hanged is accursed of God.
Galatians 3:13 Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become
a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”),
In the fulfillment of the law, Jesus took care of the curse of the Law.
Deuteronomy 27:26 ‘Cursed is the one who does not confirm all the words of this

shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open.
