While Moses didn't explicitly name or refer to Jesus by name, and although he had no concept of the incarnation, some interpretations suggest he prophesied about Jesus' coming and ministry in a veiled way.                                               
In the very first word of Genesis, (Barashyt), is a hidden message that speaks of the Son of God (Bar Aleph).

Beit Resh Aleph" refers to the Hebrew letters Bet (ב), Resh (ר), and Aleph (א), which can be combined to form words with various meanings. One example is "Bar" (Bet, Resh) which translates to "son," and when combined with Aleph (א), it becomes "Bara" (Bet, Resh, Aleph), meaning "the son of God" or "creator". 
Bara in Hebrew means “He created”.
Jesus, the Son of Aleph, the Logos, the Word, we are told in John 1:1 is the creator of all things.
 

John 1:1“In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God, and the Word was God”.
 

The last phrase of that verse transliterated is “Theos eimi ho Logos”. “God was the Word”.
 

John 1:3 states. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.
 

The first word in the Bible is spelled Barashyt. (Beit- resh-aleph-shin-yod-tav).

Beit,resh,aleph - The Son of God.
Shin - destroyed.                                             
Yod - hand.                                             
Tav - cross.

Here is a hidden message.
 

“The Son of God, destroyed by hand on a cross”. (The Gospel in the first verse of the Bible).
 

Even though Moses wrote this under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, the truth of this prophecy was hidden from him.

Moses' writings, particularly in the Torah, (the first five books of the Bible), are interpreted by some as foreshadowing Jesus' life and work.

Here's a more detailed look at the connection:
 

Prophecy of a Prophet Like Moses:

Moses foretold the coming of a prophet "like him" from among the Israelites, whom people would listen to and obey. Deuteronomy 18:15  “The Lord your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from your midst, from your brethren. Him you shall hear,

Some believe this prophecy points to Jesus as the ultimate prophet, fulfilling Moses' description.

Foreshadowing in the Pentateuch:

Moses wrote about God's promise to Abraham that his descendants would bless all nations, which some interpret as a prophecy of Jesus' role as the Messiah who would bring salvation to all people.

The Passover lamb in Exodus and Leviticus is seen as a symbolic representation of Jesus, who, through his sacrifice, rescues people from judgment. 
John the Baptist pointed to Jesus and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world”.
 

Moses' writings are interpreted by some as foreshadowing Jesus' role as the Bread from Heaven (manna in the wilderness), the living water (water from the rock), and the bronze serpent that healed those bitten by snakes (symbolizing salvation through Jesus's crucifixion).

Moses wrote about Joseph, whose life was marked by envy, rejection, and ultimate authority. Some see this as a foreshadowing of Jesus' own experience as the Suffering Servant.

Some believe Moses was a type or shadow of Jesus, representing the Old Testament law and covenant, compared to Jesus' new covenant established by his sacrifice.

It's important to note that these interpretations are theological and may vary among different religious traditions and individuals.

While Moses' writings contain elements that some interpret as prophetic of Jesus, it's also crucial to understand the historical and cultural context in which they were written and how the people of that time would have read them. (The Ancient Near East mindset, NAE.)
 

In conclusion, while Moses never explicitly mentioned Jesus by name, his writings and actions, through various interpretations, are seen as foreshadowing the coming of Jesus, his role as Messiah, and his saving work.

When Jesus said "Moses wrote of Me" in John 5:46, He meant that the first five books of the Old Testament, written by Moses, contained prophecies and foreshadowings that pointed to Him as the Messiah. Essentially, Jesus was saying that the Old Testament, specifically Moses' writings, contained evidence and clues about His identity and mission.

In fact, the Old Testament contains numerous passages and figures that are seen as foreshadowing or pointing towards Jesus Christ, the Messiah. These are not explicit references to Jesus by name, but rather symbolic representations and prophecies that find their fulfillment in Jesus' life and ministry. 
 

Types and Shadows of Christ:
 

The Angel of the Lord:

The "Angel of the Lord" who appears in the Old Testament, particularly in Genesis, Exodus, and Judges, is often identified by theologians as a Christophany, or an appearance of Christ before his incarnation. 

The Passover Lamb:

The Passover lamb in Exodus is seen as a type of Christ, foreshadowing his sacrifice for the sins of the world. 

The Kinsman Redeemer:

The story of Boaz and Ruth in the Book of Ruth foreshadows Jesus' role as the Kinsman Redeemer who redeems and saves his people. 

The Suffering Servant:

The prophecies in Isaiah, particularly Isaiah 53, are widely understood as referring to Jesus' suffering and death on the cross. 

The Promised Seed:

Genesis 3:15, the promise of a seed of the woman who will crush the serpent's head, is seen as a prophecy about Jesus' victory over sin and death. 
 

Old Testament Prophecies Fulfilled by Jesus:

Prophecies about his birth:

Many prophecies in the Old Testament, such as the prophecy about the Messiah being born of a virgin (Isaiah 7:14), find their fulfillment in Jesus' birth. 

Prophecies about his ministry:

Prophecies about the Messiah as a prophet like Moses (Deuteronomy 18:15), a king who will reign forever (Daniel 7:13-14), and a suffering servant (Isaiah 53) are seen as fulfilled in Jesus' life and ministry. 

Prophecies about his death and resurrection:

Prophecies about the Messiah's death and resurrection, such as Psalm 22:18-19 and Psalm 110:1, are seen as fulfilled in Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection. 

New Testament Authors' Interpretation:

The New Testament writers frequently refer to the Old Testament, connecting Jesus and his ministry to the Old Testament narratives, prophecies, and types. 

They often use the Old Testament to demonstrate that Jesus is the fulfillment of God's promises and the climax of the entire story of the Bible. 

In essence, the Old Testament provides a rich foundation for understanding Jesus and his role in God's plan for salvation. It's not about proving Jesus' existence in the Old Testament literally, but about understanding how the Old Testament points towards him and prepares the way for his coming.
