What is the term for a literary form that relates past scriptural events to help explain and interpret present events?

There are a number of them, sorry i am not sure which you are refering to.
A "Type" is something real as a symbol of something real.
Eg, Tabernacle (real building) tye of Christ (real person)
A "Parable" is a fictious story to explain something spiritual.
A "Prophecy" is a proclamation of something true either past present or future.
A "Metaphors" and "Similies" you would know
"Analogies" are comparisons,, this is like that as that is like this.
"Alegories" are real events as illustrations of spiritual truths.
Maybe I am way off on what you are asking, if so just ignore.

Any scripture which speaks of present or future events is called prophecy.

ditto on prophecy. However, Prophecy wasn't a scriptual event, it was predicting an event. Give an example.

It's called prophecy and it's all in the Bible. Revelation talks about the end times and there are other places in the Bible like Daniel as well that talks about the end times as well. And places talk about what happened in Damascus recently. It's all in the Bible. The end is coming real soon. I can feel it. We must be ready for Jesus' return.
