OT types of Jesus Christ

People in the Old Testament of the Bible who seem to be pre-types of Jesus Christ (the Messiah) include Abel, Noah's Ark, Melchizedek, Isaac, Joseph*, lion of Judah, Moses*, Ark of the Covenant, Joshua, Samson, Boaz, David, Tutankhamen, Absalom? Solomon, Isa(iah), Ishi, Jonah, Josiah? Jeshua/Zerubbabel.

We recently posted on the Ark of the Covenant as symbolizing Jesus here : http://www.allempires.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23942&PID=723110#723110 .
