But when Jesus' ministry started and after His death and resurrection, the shadow would do no good, if we ignore the object of the shadow and type who is Jesus. Repentance is needed but can only be accomplished by faith in God's provision to us, and that is the gift of eternal life through His son. That is god's work to believe on Him whom He sent. Why do you think God would have Abraham sacrifice his son? It was to show that is what God was to do. Why do you think prophecy was given in Isaiah 53 that show Jesus taking our punishment. Repentance without Christ as your Savior will not profit anyone unless it was before Christ came into the world. Everyone reading this needs Jesus to be saved. We are not sinners because we sin; we sin because we are sinners in desperate need of a Savior. Jesus said what you always ignore: "You will die in your sin unless you believe I AM HE." He said, "No one comes to the father except by me." Your argument is not with us Christians it is with God and Jesus.

As for the shadow of sin , that does not show up in the OT and not in the NT . The new testament is clear about this when it comes to paul's writtings:

12Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned--13for until the Law sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed when there is no law.…

Romans 5: 12-13

No Shadow here rather literal sin

AS for Isaiah 53 I already answered it and proved it does not prophecise anything about the torture of jesus rather it was a manipulation by the writers of the King james bible by separating between Isaiah 52 and 53 to remove it from its context. I am not going to repost answers which I have already answered
