God, is what i suggest! As Jesus in mentioned in the New Testament instead of the old! hope i helped!

Actually Jesus is mentioned many times in the Old Testament, the problem is Jesus is the greek name used for the hebrew name Joshua. Also Christ is mentioned many times in the old testament too, as Christ is the greek word used for the hebrew word Messiah.

Remember none of the bible was written in English (or Latin). The old testament was written in a mixture of hebrew, chaldean (babylonian), and aramaic; while the new testament was written in common greek. Words from each of these languages are typically transliterated to english rather than translated, sometimes resulting in 2 or more english words for the same thing depending on the part of the bible the words appear in.

For what it is worth, the Joshua for whom a book in the bible is named is considered in jewish tradition to be a Messiah; so in greek he could justifiably be referred to as Jesus Christ!
