The OT covered EVERYTHING about Christ's life including what position his
body would be in when he was executed. It is important and it is in the Bible.
Moses life being an image and likeness of Christ's life is very well known. If you examine
Moses closely, you will see how Christ would die. Look here:
Ex 17:10-1310 So Joshua fought the Amalekites as Moses had ordered, and Moses, Aaron and Hur went to the top of the hill. 11 As long as Moses held up his hands, the Israelites were winning, but whenever he lowered his hands, the Amalekites were winning. 12 When Moses' hands grew tired, they took a stone and put it under him and he sat on it. Aaron and Hur held his hands up--one on one side, one on the other--so that his hands remained steady till sunset. 13 So Joshua overcame the Amalekite army with the sword.
Moses hands were upheld (by two men Aaron and Hur) ON EACH SIDE (not over his head), TILL SUNSET.
So it was with Christ:
Christ's hands were upheld (by two nails) ON EACH SIDE, TILL SUNSET.
There's another that shows the method of Christ's execution.
