What did the Passover foreshadow in the ministry of Christ?
In the Synoptic Gospels, the Passover feast was celebrated after sundown on the Thursday evening, as the new day (Friday) began in the Jewish calendar, and this was the occasion of the Last Supper. The crucifixion took place later the same day - the day of the Passover.
In John's Gospel, Jesus' crucifixion took place on the day of preparation for the Passover, and Jesus symbolised the sacrificial lamb whose legs could not be broken.

How does the death and resurrection of Lazarus foreshadow Christ's?
In Luke's Gospel, Martha and Mary are sisters and friends of Jesus, but do not have a brother called Lazarus. Jesus tells a parable of Lazarus dying and going down to hell where he meets a rich man being punished for his sins. The rich man asks for Lazarus to be raised from the dead so that he can warn his friends of the fate that awaits them.
Only John's Gospel Gospel says that Lazarus was the brother of Jesus' very close friends, Martha and Mary. For theological reasons, the author of John wanted to make the resurrection of Lazarus the final trigger for the arrest of Jesus, instead of the cleansing of the Temple, as in the synoptic gospels. He therefore moved the Cleansing of the Temple to the beginning of his story, almost immediately after Jesus met John the Baptist. In John 12:19, the turning point is identified: "The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him.") This certainly provides a link between the death of Lazarus and that of Jesus.
The majority view of modern New Testament scholars is that John's Gospel was loosely based on Luke's Gospel, although with some material taken direct from Mark. Thus, when we see Mary, Martha and Lazarus only in the two gospels and in quite parallel but different stories, we can understand that the author of John's Gospel was inspired by the parable in Luke's Gospel but chose to change it from a parable to the most important miracle in the entire mission of Jesus. We can also understand that Lazarus, as described in John's Gospel, was no more a real person than the Lazarus of Luke's parable.
Perhaps we can say that any story of death and resurrection foreshadow the death and resurrection of Jesus. But there are important differences. Lazarus died of an illness, whereas Jesus was crucified. Lazarus was dead for more than three days, an important milestone, as the ancients believed that the soul finally leaves the body at the end of three days, making a subsequent resurrection a most exceptional miracle. Jesus is reported to have been dead from Friday afternoon until Sunday morning - about one and a half days. The tomb of Lazarus was opened for Jesus when he asked to be allowed in; the tomb of Jesus was opened in mysterious circumstances which vary from gospel to gospel.
Is the bag that she found in the pond foreshadowing in the book called the midwife's apprentice?
In "The Midwife's Apprentice" by Karen Cushman, the bag found in the pond could be considered a form of foreshadowing. Foreshadowing is a literary device where the author hints at future events in the story. The bag may symbolize hidden secrets or unexpected discoveries that will be revealed later in the plot. Its presence could create suspense and intrigue for the reader, suggesting that there are more mysteries to uncover as the story progresses.
What did the Old Testament Flood foreshadow in the New Testament?
The people who wrote the story of the biblical Flood knew nothing of the New Testament and so had no reason to foreshadow anything in the New Testament.
However, this need not prevent us from making it foreshadow whatever New Testament event we wish. Burton L. Mack (Who Wrote the New Testament) tells how with a little ingenuity, one can come up with any comparisons between the Old Testament and the New Testament that one wishes. There is a trick that Mack sees happen all the time in the classrooms of the School of Theology at Claremont and which seems to come naturally when studying the Bible. One can ask any question of the Bible and get some kind of answer. At first the study of a text may not seem to support the answer one hopes to find in the Bible, but with a little ingenuity, one can set up the comparison again with other emphases and make the answer come out right.
We can choose, for example, to have the Flood story prefigure the baptism of Jesus. We can note that water is important to both the Flood and to baptism, and that a dove is mentioned in both stories. Using Mack's advice, we can say that the Old Testament Flood foreshadowed the baptism of Jesus.
We can choose instead to have the Flood foreshadow the crucifixion of Jesus. We can compare the sinners that could not be saved in the time of Noah with the sinners who will be saved because of the death of Jesus. In John 19:34, the soldier pierced Jesus' side, bringing forth blood and water, just as the Flood brought forth water from the deep. Using Mack's advice, we can say that the Old Testament Flood foreshadowed the crucifixion of Jesus. In fact, we can have the Flood story foreshadow whatever event we wish.
