“No special hermeneutic method is necessary to see the whole diverse movement of the Old Testament saving events, made up of God’s promises and their temporary fulfillments, as pointing to the future fulfillment in Jesus Christ. This can be said quite categorically. The coming of Jesus Christ as a historical reality leaves the exegete no choice at all: he must interpret the Old Testament as pointing to Christ, whom he must understand in its light.” (Gerhard Von Rad, Old Testament Theology, vol. 2, p. 374)
