Recently I have had some conversations with people who have questioned Yeshua in the old testament.. Some have down right rejected any concept of Yeshua in the Old Testament and called it a kind of allegorical reading of the old testament.. Others do believe he was there but not fully known. Others do not believe that deity of Christ, Trinity, or the sacrificial work of the cross were present.. When I have stated that Yeshua was fully known by Old Testament believers I have been said to be "jesting"... All of these people claimed the name of Christian. I found this to be quite shocking and so I had started to prepare my listing...
If you want Yeshua's sacrificial work of the cross you only need to go to Psalm 22 which are the very words of the Messiah on the cross while dying..
The following will be a comprehensive list of Yeshua in the Old Testament that I have been working on..
The name of Yeshua is found in Psalms 3:8; 9:14; 13:5; 14:7; 20:5; 21:1, 5; 35:9; 38:22; 40:10, 16; 50:23; 51:14; 53:6; 62:1, 2, 6; 68:19; 69:29; 70:4; 71:15; 74:12; 78:22; 88:1; 89:26; 91:16; 96:2; 98:2, 3; 106:4; 116:13; 118:14, 15, 21; 119:41, 81, 123, 155, 166, 174; 140:7; 144:10; 149:4.
Something that struck me as I was researching Psalm 89 is that this is the restatement of the Davidic covenant which clearly speaks of Yeshua and it also contains both his name (translated as “salvation” and his title “Messiah” fully four times.
The following list will contain the Old Testament references followed by a New Testament references

Yeshua portrait by the different books of the Old Testament...
In Genesis, Yeshua is the seed of woman who will bruise the head of the serpent. We see Melchizedek the King of Righteousness and Yeshua is our High Priest "on the order of Melchizedek."
In Exodus, The lamb slain whose blood was on the doorposts of the Israelites is a precursor to Yeshua, the Lamb of God.
In Leviticus, the sacrifices and offerings are symbolic of the sacrifice of Yeshua .
In Numbers, the rock and the manna are symbolic of Yeshua, the Bread of Life and the Rock of our salvation.
In Deuteronomy we see the Prophet who is to come who is "like unto Moses".
We see the Captain of the Lord's Hosts in Joshua, an Old Testament manifestation of Yeshua.
In Judges we have the Angel of the LORD who appeared to Manoah and his wife. We see the many judges who were saviors to Israel.
Ruth shows us the kinsman-redeemer. Yeshua is our Kinsman-Redeemer.
The books of Samuel reveal David, the prince and the king. Yeshua will sit upon the throne of David. Yeshua is the Root and offspring of Jesse.
The books of Kings show us the earthly kings and their shortfalls. Yeshua will be King of kings and Lord of lords. Yeshua is He who is "greater than Solomon" and "greater than the Temple."
Chronicles shows Yeshua as "the King's son" rescued from the dead and hidden in the House of the LORD to be manifested in due time. This was good king Joash. Read the story in 2 Chronicles 22-23.
In Ezra, Yeshua is the "nail in the holy place."
Nehemiah speaks of the "bread from Heaven" and the water out of the Rock." Both typify Yeshua.
The seed of woman (through whom Yeshua would come) is preserved in Esther (the Jews were saved by her intervention). The name of the LORD is spelled out in four acrostics in Esther.
Job talks about his redeemer in 19:25 "For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:"
Yeshua is seen throughout the Psalms. Please see previous section on Yeshua in the Psalms.
Proverbs tell us about the Wisdom of God, who is Yeshua.
Ecclesiastes shows Yeshua as the "one man in a thousand" among the emptiness of life under the sun.
Song of Songs portrays Yeshua. He is shown as the faithful Shepherd, and the Bridegroom.
Isaiah tells of the Suffering Servant who is Yeshua who was "wounded for our transgressions," and "bruised for our iniquities." Isaiah said that "with his stripes we are healed."
Jeremiah reveals the Righteous Branch.
Ezekiel shows Yeshua as the True Shepherd, the Prince, and the Son of Man.
In Daniel, Yeshua is Messiah the Prince, who is "cut off."
Hosea is Yeshua' namesake, for Hoseah means Yehovah's Savior just as Yeshua does.
Joel speaks of Israel's deliverer.
Amos speaks of raising the tabernacle of David. Yeshua came to earth and tabernacled among us. See John 1:14, where the word "dwelt" actually means "tabernacled".
Obadiah tells us of the Deliverer on Mount Zion.
Jonah, mentioned above, is the sign Yeshua would give the world (three days and nights in the belly of a fish).
Micah speaks of the King passing before them.
Nahum tells us of the Stronghold in Trouble.
Habakkuk talks about the Holy One whose glory covers the sky.
In Zephaniah we are told of the Mighty God in the midst of Zion.
Haggai calls Yeshua the "desire of all nations."
Zechariah speaks of "the Branch".
