Did Abraham have faith in the future coming of Christ?
score:1
Accepted answer
We also find in the account of Abraham and Isaac at Mt Moriah that Abraham told Isaac that God Himself would provide a "Lamb" when Isaac asked about the burnt offering.
By this we know Abraham was speaking prophetically of a future time when God would offer up His Son/Lamb because, what was provided at that point in time was a "Ram" caught in the thicket by it's horns, not a Lamb as Abraham had stated. God's Word is amazing.

-OP-Is there biblical evidence that Abraham looked forward to Christ.[?]
The authors of Genesis, Hebrews, and Galatians spell out the promise of God. This means the answer is yes.
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. Gen. 17:19
Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called: Heb. 11:17
Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ. Gal. 3:16
And so, Abraham looked forward to Christ, to the promised seed.
