Of course - we Jews have missed out on all those obvious types and shadows and focused too much on the the plain meaning of scripture.

keep in mind that the mormons and muslims say the same about the n.t., that the xians don't know the real meaning. I guess my favorite is "I have other sheep"=jesus visited the native americans, and they are the missing ten tribes. Joe Smith and Muhammed are both supposed to be the "Comforter" to be sent by Jesus. Did you know that both Joseph Smith and Muhammed are known, to their followers, as fulfilling the prophecy about the "prophet who cannot read"? I don't remember the origin in the Tanach, but it i supposed to be there. Don't forget that some Muslims believe that Muhammed's son (or nephew?) was the messiah. Everyone wants to be the Jews.
