Types

[2404]

As we know the spiritual, being first is a greater reality than the natural.

As I understand it the natural types the spiritual.

An example would be in our marriage union with a groom and his bride being a type of Christ and His bride.

Another type that comes to mind is that of Noah and his family going through the tribulation but Enoch being

translated, a type for our end time.

If you care to add a scriptural type that you find striking, it would be good.

Where to start?

 

Death came with the first Adam, life with the second Adam. (Paul, in the epistles someplace).

 

As Moses lifted up the bronze serpent, so the Son of Man will be lifted up (Jesus, John 3 something)

 

As Jonah spent 3 days and nights in the belly of the fish, so the Son of Man will be in the grave. (Jesus, gospels)

 

A personal favorite, Genesis 22, the sacrifice of Isaac is lovely example of a type. 

 

The tabernacle, the law etc are all types too.

You are right of course and I still would rather think about this than politics.

How about Abraham being the spiritual church and Lot the nominal.
