What do you think of SCRIPTURAL TYPOLOGY? Does it reveal truths to you? Which one do you like the best ?

Question

Scriptural typology is:
A biblical person, thing, action, or event that foreshadows new truths, new actions, or new events. In the Old Testament, Melchizedech and Jonah are types of Jesus Christ. A likeness must exist between the type and the archetype, but the latter is always greater. Both are independent of each other. God’s call for the return of the Israelites from Pharaoh’s bondage typifies the return of Jesus Christ from his flight into Egypt. In the New Testament the destruction of Jerusalem, foretold by Christ, was the antitype of the end of the world.1

Adam & Eve’s sin is repaired by the righteousness of the new Adam and Eve in Jesus and Mary. Adam and Eve caused the downfall of man, Jesus and Mary the redemption of man.
Genesis 3:15
Romans 5:12-21

Isaac carrying the wood is like Jesus carrying the Cross.
Genesis 22:6

Abraham sacrificing his son is like the Heavenly Father offering up his Son Jesus Christ, the promised Messiah.

Moses is like Jesus, a prophet, to liberate the people. Moses freed them from Pharaoh while Jesus frees us from the sin and death so we may enter Heaven.
Deut 18:15
In these pictures God the “I AM” and Jesus the “I AM” at the Transfiguration with Moses and Elijah.
John 8:58 and Exodus 3:14

The shedding of Abel’s blood is like the shedding of Christ’s blood.
Hebrews 12:24
Genesis 4:10

Also the bronze snake is like Jesus “raised up” to save the people.
Numbers 21:9 and John 3:14 and 6:40

The bread of the Passover is like the “Bread of Life” (Jesus) in the eucharist.

1 Cor 5:7 and Ex 12:5

The sacrificial lamb of the Passover is like the “Lamb of God” that John the Baptist talked about when he saw Jesus.

The manna (Bread of the angel’s) is like the Eucharistic bread Jesus Christ gives us to nourish and purify our souls.
John 6:32-35
There are numerous scriptural references and documented miracles in dozens

Joseph being sold by his brothers for silver is like Judas betraying Jesus for Silver.

Jonah’s release from the mouth of the whale after 3 days is like Jesus resurrection from the jaws of death after 3 days in the tomb.
Matthew 12:40

Answer 1

I like the ark of the covenant having manna, the law, and Aaron's priestly staff contained inside it, as the typology of the Virgin Mary, who as the ark of the new covenant, carried in her womb Christ, who is the bread of life, the adjudicator of the law, and our heavenly High Priest.

Answer 2

I for my part get a excellent deal of satisfaction out of finding out typology and discover it to be now not most effective important to go referencing of recommendations however a spread of that means. It permits for an nearly magical enjoy of epiphanies into scriptural meanings and revelations within the Old Testament of New Testament truths and parties. One of my possess favorites is Gospel of John ch:one million and Proverbs ch: eight & nine and the Old Testament phrase for wisdon and scripture are the equal elementary that means which means that to hear scripture in Proverbs after which go reference the suggestion to John ch:one million. Typology is a uncommon and really pleasing method to research scripture. Congratulations on finding it ! There are some distance to many examples to even talk about it right here however Good Fortune to you. You have learned a uncommon area for scripture research.

Answer 3

Off the top of my head I can't add one more to your list. Give me some time. But I am happy to see someone here speak like this! This is refreshing! I am Catholic and learned about typology 4 years ago in Bible study of Genesis. It opened my eyes and heart wider. Just amazing how God has revealed so much to us in one book. We just have to look and believe.

Wasn't Golgotha, where Jesus was crucified the same place where Adam died? I've read that when the cross (salvation) was put into the ground, it crushed Adam's skull (original sin). And when Moses parted the Red Sea to free his people, is a typology of Jesus crossing into Jerusalem on a donkey to begin His suffering in order to save His people (us).

God bless!

Answer 4

There are so many contradictions and mistranslations and things taken out by king Constantine and Paul was a cheater and pretender who wrote 70% of the Bible. So what does all this matter. You have to know what Jesus actually said and the teachings of Christ where found. The Essenes went underground at the time of Christ because of being killed by the Romans and others. All of their words of Christ have been found in tact We have to know what Jesus actually said go to http://www.essene.org
