The Old Testament as a whole points to Jesus. Specifically there are numerous passages of prophecy relating to the coming Messiah, Jesus Christ. These prophecies are not just in the major and minor prophets of the OT, but also found in the Psalms and historical books as well. When sin entered into the world, so did the ever repeated promise of a Redeemer! These prophets also knew full and well whom they were foretelling about. Prophecy fulfilled in the birth, life, and sacrificial death of Jesus is powerful evidence of His Messiahship and validates the credibility and supernatural inspiration of the Old Testament, fulfilled many hundreds of years in the future.
