This will be part 1 of 39, as we attempt to locate Jesus in each book of the Old Testament. Add scriptures as you find them where Jesus can be found in Genesis. There is no time limit, but I will plan to add a new thread for each book of the Old Testament at a rate of about once a week. Lets see how many places we find Jesus.

Let's get this started at the beginning of creation.
IN the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. John 1:1-3
IN the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. Genesis 1:1
And God said, let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. Genesis 1:26
For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one. 1 John 5:7,8

Adam is a figure of Christ....
Rom 5:14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.

And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. — Genesis 1:2
For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. — Isaiah 60:2
That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles; The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up. — Matthew 4:14-16

And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
Genesis 3:15

I posted these scriptures earlier to show Jesus at the time of creation and to show the Trinity in scripture. The Bible also refers to Adam as a type of Christ. 1 Corinthians 15:44-50...
It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. Howbeit that was not the first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven. As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.

I kind of see the ark that saved Noah and his family and life on earth as a type of Jesus. If not for the ark, everyone and everything would have been destroyed.

Clearly, Melchizedek is a type of Jesus.
And the king of Sodom went out to meet him after his return from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer, and the kings that were with him, at the valley of Shaveh, which is the king's dale. And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God. And he blessed him, and said, blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth. And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all. Genesis 14:17-20
For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him; To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all: first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace; Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually. Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils. And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who received the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though they come out of the loins of Abraham: But he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises. And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better. And here men that die receive tithes; but there he receiveth them, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth. And as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham. For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec met him.
If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron? For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law. For he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth to another tribe, of which no man gave attendance at the altar. For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood. And it is yet far more evident; for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest, Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life. For he testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof. For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did, by the which we draw nigh unto God.
And inasmuch as not without an oath he was made priest: (For those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath by him that said unto him, The Lord sware and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec:) By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament. And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death: But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood: Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens. Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, when he offered up himself. For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity, but the word of the oath, which was since the law, maketh the Son, who is consecrated for evermore. Hebrews 7:1-28

Jesus is God. He is the great I AM, so when we see God appearing to man anywhere in scripture, in that sense, you can say that it is Christ. He was just not known as Jesus Christ at the time. Jesus is the Lord, and we see him appear to Abraham more than one time. One such example is when he told Abraham that he would give him a child through his wife Sarah. He came in the form of a man, but it was the Lord. Notice what it says in Genesis 18:1, and then Genesis 18:13
"AND the LORD appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day."
"And the LORD said unto Abraham, Wherfore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old?"
In Genesis 18:14, he continues with, "Is anything too hard for the LORD?..."
I would say this was an appearance of Jesus in Genesis.

That is good, and it is also good to see the Scavenger Hunt going again. In keeping with what you brought forward, the Lord also talked to Abraham about his plans to deal with the sins of Sodom. Go down just a little further in Genesis 18, starting at verse 16.
And the men rose up from thence, and looked toward Sodom: and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way, And the LORD said, shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do; Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him? For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.
Once again, this is Genesis, and we see "the LORD" appearing in human form to Abraham, and in this instance, He is getting ready to head to Sodom to judge them. A thought that came to me, as far as a type goes, you could look at what is about to happen, and it brings to mind God the Father getting ready to destroy Sodom and all of the people there because of their sins, and Abraham acting as a type of Christ in interceding for the people. Jesus is our great High Priest, ever making intercession for us to the Father. Could it therefore be said that in a way, Abraham is acting as a type of Christ?
