Thread of OT types

[Dave...]

Websters dictionary....“a person or thing [in the Old Testament] believed to foreshadow another [in the New Testament].” For example, comparing Adam in the Old Testament to Christ, Romans 5:14 says Adam “is a type of Him who was to come.”

Here's another.

Manna, in the OT was a 'type' of God's word.

Exodus 16:4,35 Then the Lord said to Moses, "Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you. And the people shall go out and gather a certain quota every day, that I may test them, whether they will walk in My law or not....And the children of Israel ate manna forty years, until they came to an inhabited land; they ate manna until they came to the border of the land of Canaan.

Man in the OT needed to rely on God daily to sustain them with manna. Likewise, God's Word is manna which feeds the soul and sustains us today.

Luke 4:4 But Jesus answered him, saying, "It is written, 'Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.' "(Also Mat. 4:4)

John 4:34 Jesus said to them, "My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work.


Can you think of any?

How about this...
The Jews were denied entry into the promised land because they turned back to their sins, just as mankind will be denied entry to heaven because they wouldn't turn from sin.

Thank you for this interesing and important topic. There are many OT types, and I will be happy to share some of them. First, I would like to ask about the one you mentioned. In what way Adam “is a type of Him who was to come”?

Thanks for the responses. The greatest painting ever made was made with words. In many ways, the Old Testament painted the New Testament.

Live, Jesus is often called the second Adam. Where the first failed, the second succeeded. Adams life had a significant impact on humanity, likewise, so did Jesus'. Mostly fixing the consequences of Adams failure.

Also see 1 Corinthians 14:45-52, Romans 5: 12-21 Paul calls Adam a type of Him who was to come.

Just wanted to note for everyone, that sometimes types are not listed as types in the Bible, but are very clearly types that have been recognized by theologians for a long time.

Here is another significant type with Adam. Eve was deceived in the garden and ate the forbidden fruit, i.e. sinned. The punishment for the sin is death or separation from God. Adam was not deceived (1 Timothy 2:14). Because of his love for his wife, Adam ate the forbidden fruit (took upon himself her sin) to be united with her. This points out to the Messiah who, because of his love for his wife, the Church, took upon himself our sins and died for us.

Live, I never heard that before. That's deep.

Me needs to ponder on that one for a while.

Jonah was a type of Jesus. Many people think that the type ends with Jonah being three days in the belly of the fish, like Jesus spent three days in Hades, and both rose from within those places. But Jonah preaching to Nineveh was also significant. They were Gentiles, and what happened after Jesus rose and ascended? The Gospel now went to all nations, yes salvation had come to the Gentiles, as Peter said in Acts. There's more, I found a cool link, apparently it goes a lot deeper than I even thought.

THE TYPOLOGY OF JONAH AND JESUS

THE TYPOLOGY OF JONAH AND JESUS

The story of Jonah foreshadows the redemptive work of Jesus Christ.
​

JONAH	JESUS
1. His mission was to call the gentile Assyrians of Nineveh to repentance and acknowledgement of Yahweh as the source of their salvation [Jonah 1:1; 3:1-2].	1. His mission was to call all of mankind, including the gentile nations, to repentance and into Covenant with Yahweh [Matthew 28:18-20].
2. Jonah was willing to sacrifice his life for the salvation of his shipmates [Jonah 1:12].	2. Jesus was willing to sacrifice His life for the salvation of the world [Matthew 20:28; Mark 10:45; John 1:29; 1 Timothy 2:6].
3. He was entombed in the belly of a great fish [Jonah 2:1].	3. After Jesus' death He was placed in a tomb [Matthew 27:60; Mark 6:29; Luke 23:53].
4. On the third day Jonah was "resurrected" from the belly of the fish [Jonah 2:11/10].	4. On the third day Jesus was resurrected from the tomb [Matthew 17:23; 20:19; 28:1-10; Mark 9:31; 10:34; 16:1-7; Luke 9:22; 18:33; 24:7; 24:46].
5. After his "resurrection" from the belly of the fish, Jonah continued his mission to call the gentile Assyrians to repentance and salvation [Jonah 3:1-3].	5. After His resurrection from the tomb, Jesus continued His mission to found the universal Church and to commission the Apostles to spread the gospel to every nation on earth ;it is a mission that continues even after His Ascension [Matthew 28:16-20; Mark 16:12-20; Luke 24:13-53; Acts chapter 1].
6. Jonah preached that Nineveh would be destroyed in 40 days if the people did not repent [Jonah 3:4].	6. After His resurrection, Jesus taught the New Covenant Church for 40 days before His Ascension [Acts 1:3].
7. Jonah taught that failure to repent sin brings judgment but salvation is a gift of God [Jonah 1:1; 3:4-5, 9-10]	7. Jesus taught that failure to repent sin brings judgment but salvation is a gift of God [Matthew 5:21-22; John 5:22-29; 8:34-36; Luke 24:47; John 3:17; 5:34; 10:19; Acts 2:21].

There are many types. One that immediately comes to mind is the Passover. The Jews were told to take the blood of a lamb and put it's blood on the top and two sides of a doorway. And of course, Jesus is called "the Lamb of God" in the Gospel of John. This forms a cross. The Tabernacle in the Wilderness traveled through the Wilderness in the shape of a cross also. Enoch is a type of the Rapture of the church. As "God took him" before the flood decimated the earth. There are many, many more.
