Yes. God used manna('bread from heaven"Psalm 105:40) to miraculously feed and sustain the Israelites in the wilderness (Exodus 16:15)(Numbers 11:7-9)
To see how Jesus is connected to this life saving food , his own words can help us.
When asked by people what they had to do to please God, Jesus said:
"The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent."
So they asked him, "What sign then will you give that we may see it and believe you? What will you do? Our ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written: 'He gave them bread from heaven to eat.'"(Nehemiah 9:15)
Jesus said to them, "Very truly I tell you, it is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is the bread that comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.......Then Jesus declared, "I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty. But as I told you, you have seen me and still you do not believe. All those the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away. For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me. And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all those he has given me, but raise them up at the last day. For my Father's will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day...."(John 6:28-40 NIV)
"I am the bread of life. YOUR forefathers ate the manna in the wilderness and yet died. This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that anyone may eat of it and not die. I am the living bread that came down from heaven; if anyone eats of this bread he will live forever; and, for a fact, the bread that I shall give is my flesh in behalf of the life of the world."(John 6:48-58 NIV)(1 Corinthians 10:1-4)

What links the old and New Testament?
The Old Testament laid the foundation for the coming of Jesus Christ in the New Testament. The New Testament fulfills the prophecies and promises made in the Old Testament, showing how they are interconnected and part of the overarching narrative of God's plan for humanity. Jesus himself often referenced the Old Testament scriptures to demonstrate how they foretold his arrival and mission.
What are the miracles that God performed in the 40 years in the wilderness?
Here are examples: The pillar of cloud, and pillar of fire (Exodus ch.13) Water given from the rock (Exodus ch.17) The manna (Exodus ch.16) The Revelation at Sinai (Exodus ch.19) God's presence in the Tabernacle (Exodus ch.40, Leviticus ch.8) The swallowing up of the rebellious Korach (Numbers ch.16) Aaron's rod sprouting (Numbers ch.17)
Is the New Testament the fulfillment of the Old Testament?
A:For Jews, no, the New Testament is not the fulfilment of the Old Testament. They point out that Jesus is never mentioned anywhere in the Tanach (Old Testament), either by name or even indirectly in any way by which he could be identified. For Christians, yes, the New Testament is the fulfilment of the Old Testament. They point to many Old Testament passages that they believe prophesy or prefigure events in the New Testament.Objectively, some of the references used by Christians are not really from the Old Testament in the original Hebrew but from the Septuagint, a flawed, early Greek translation of the Hebrew scriptures, and as such do no more than demonstrate that parts of the New Testament were written by men to fulfil the wrong scriptures.In other cases, the gospel authors seem to have misunderstood the Hebrew texts. Matthew says that Jesus was born in Bethlehem to fulfil a prophecy in the Old Testament. He quotes Micah 5:2 as: "And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel," whereas the actual text of Micah 5:2 is "But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah[Bethlehem], though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from days of yore." Micah expected that another king of Israel would be born in little Bethlehem. He did not mention Jesus, and Jesus was never the king of Israel nor were all the Jews to become his followers, as another sense would imply. The link between Micah 5:2 and Matthew is so tenuous that some Christian Bibles have improved Micah 5:2 to make it a more apparent prophecy of a divine king, translating the verse into English with 'everlasting' rather than 'days of yore', but I have provided the original.
New Testament reference to genesis?
Genesis has 50 chapters. The first 11 are considered foundational. There are at least 68 references to the first 11 chapters alone, and many more references to the content of the other chapters. Every New testament writer makes reference to the contents of the first 11 chapters, and Jesus Himself makes reference to every one the first 7 chapters. Each reference treats the content of Genesis as historical fact and reliable revelation of God's word and dealings with man. The following link gives N.T. chapter, verse and the Genesis Chapter, verse to which it refers. The information regarding these first chapters seems easier to find because they deal with Creation, a hot topic for many.http:/website.sound-doctrine.net/FAQ-NTSuportGenesis.html
What does the New Testament accomplish?
The Old Testament chronicles the people of Israel (Jews), who are God's chosen people. God promised the Jews that he would send them a Messiah who would save them from their sins (Sinful people cannot stand before a perfect God; thus a savior was needed to live a perfect life and die as a sacrifice in order to atone for the sins of the world).The New Testament tells us that Jesus Christ is that savior. The first four books, the Gospels, are Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. These record the life, death, Resurrection, and Ascension of Jesus. Acts records how the history of the early Christian church, the Epistles are letters of encouragement and guidelines for Christian living, and Revelation discusses the end times and Jesus' final return.Without the New Testament, we would not know that Jesus died for the sins of the world, and that we are free in Him. Without Jesus, it is impossible to get to Heaven, so that knowledge is extremely important, and it is all contained in the New Testament. Otherwise, we would be waiting for a savior that has already come.Additional Answer:Think of it as Part II of a book. In the New Testament, Jesus comes to fulfill prophesy and re-establish our link to God by His sacrifice. Jesus reveals the Father and tells us of His Kingdom of God to come shortly. It uses the authority of the Old Testament scriptures, depending upon the scholar you read, thousands of times. It reveals the 'Oracles of God' (Acts 7:38; Romans 3:2; 1 Peter 4:11) have been preserved accurately by the Jews as was commanded to be our guide avoiding the same mistakes of the past. It also contains the sure word of prophecy yet to be fulfilled (approx. 28 percent). These as well as writings in the NT, reveal the future events on our horizon.It also tells us of our future role upon the EARTH with God and His Son, making their tabernacle amongst men. We inherit the Earth and all that is made that the Father has given to the Son who will share it with us as co-inheritors. It gives us the future 'better Covenant' promised to be written upon our hearts.Hebrews 8:6-12New International Version (NIV) 6 But in fact the ministry Jesus has received is as superior to theirs as the covenant of which he is mediator is superior to the old one, since the new covenant is established on better promises.7 For if there had been nothing wrong with that first covenant, no place would have been sought for another. 8 But God found fault with the people and said[a]:"The days are coming, declares the Lord,when I will make a new covenantwith the people of Israeland with the people of Judah.9 It will not be like the covenantI made with their ancestorswhen I took them by the handto lead them out of Egypt,because they did not remain faithful to my covenant,and I turned away from them,declares the Lord.10 This is the covenant I will establish with the people of Israelafter that time, declares the Lord.I will put my laws in their mindsand write them on their hearts.I will be their God,and they will be my people.11 No longer will they teach their neighbor,or say to one another, 'Know the Lord,'because they will all know me,from the least of them to the greatest.12 For I will forgive their wickednessand will remember their sins no more."[b]

Where can you find Old Testament scriptures to prove Jesus is not the Jewish messiah?
A:Perhaps the best proof that Jesus is not the Jewish messiah is that none of the Old Testament scriptures ever refers to Jesus, either by name or in any way that unambiguously identifies him. Christians, from the gospel authors onwards, have sought to link Jesus with various passages in the Hebrew scriptures, but it requires strong faith or willing acceptance to see the parallels. We will not find any Old Testament passages that assert positively that Jesus is not the messiah, simply because the Old Testament was written before Jesus was born; also the notion of a Jewish messiah is largely external to the Old Testament. Of course, if Jesus is the son of God, as Christians assert, then it matters not whether he was the longed-for messiah. However, even this claim must be taken on faith, and faith alone.If you wish to read a Jewish rebuttal for the claim that Jesus is the Messiah, please see the Related Questions linked to below.
