Yes sister, you are correct.
The Bible has a unified message, and the unifying center of that message is Jesus Christ. This principle of interpretation comes to us from Jesus Himself, for He taught His disciples to read the Hebrew Bible in this way.
John 6:46
“If you believed Moses, you would believe me,” Jesus said, “for he wrote about me”.
Colossians 1:16
" For by him (Christ) all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him."
Thank you Major for contributing. And good scriptures. Here is another one.
`Then He (Jesus) said to them (2 disciples on way to Emmaus), "O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken! Ought not the Christ to have suffered these things and to enter His glory?"
And beginning at Moses and all the Prophets, He expounded to them in all the scriptures the things concerning Himself.` (Luke 24: 25 - 27)
