Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; Yet I will look again toward thy holy temple. The waters compassed me about, even to the soul: The depth closed me round about, The weeds were wrapped about my head. I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; The earth with her bars was about me for ever: Yet hast thou brought up my life from corruption, O LORD my God
Jesus is a new and better Moses who has offered a new and better sacrifice because he is the new and better priest mediating a new and better covenant as we progress toward the new and better land. Jesus is also a new and better David, and he is leading us into a new and better kingdom, one that will never be shaken. Hamilton Jr., James M..

We could multiply the examples Moses, Joshua, David, Solomon, Samson, and Jonah, just to name a few. All of these, in one way or another, serve as types of Christ, and are explicitly identified in the Scriptures as pointers to Christ. By making these connections, the epochs of the past are linked to the present by the New Testament authors, and vice versa. Types literally stitch the Bible together as a single narrative Lawrence, Michael. Biblical Theology in the Life of the Church (Foreword by Thomas R. Schreiner): A Guide for Ministry (9Marks) .
