Interested readers -

I've read by others that Isaac is the "best type of Jesus" in the Old Testament as he is the son of the promise who is (almost) sacrificed by his father Abraham.

Note this:
The first verse in which the name Isaac is used is Genesis 17:19. God gives Abraham the name of the son of promise:

"And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him."

The total verse value (gematria) of Genesis 17:19 = 7127.

Switch number systems using the 7127 value from Bible verse gematria to Strong's numbers:

Strong's Hebrew 7127 = qereb (Aramaic) {ker-abe'}
corresponding to 07126; TWOT - 2978; v AV - come near 4, offer 2, come 1, bring near 1, offer 1; 9 1) to approach, come near

There are nine instances of Strong's 7127h in the Old Testament. Remember, Jesus is Eight. His greek gematria = 888 and He was raised from the dead on the eighth day.

The number 8 use of Strong's 7127h "to be brought near" = Daniel 7:13 !

"I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.

Isaac is brought near to the Ancient of Days, in a prophetic sense. Jesus is the Son of Man.

Amen! In all things Jesus must have preeminence! (Colossians 1:17-18)

Jesus is Lord.
