Understanding Types & Shadows

[GodsGrace]

Gross exaggeration? Jesus Is the living Word of God..

I agree with this Turnorburn.
In the NASB there are little stars next to verses in the O.T. that pertain to the Messiah.
Psalm 22, for instance, has many of them.

Psalm 23 has none.
But I still see Jesus on every line, let alone the whole page.

Edward i was a little kid yup i once was...In Sunday School we had the story of Baby Moses in his little basket and i saw the connection to Noah's ark ...And then the Arc of the covenant... Mommie Mommie guess what ..

What i came to understand is the Word of God is connected ... It is not a stack of readers digests bundled together... It is more then just His words

Enjoy what the Lord is showing you... Yea ya may go over board for a bit just enjoy it..

Reba,
God is spirit. We can know Him in spirit.
Having created knowledge, He is also knowledge. There's much to know ABOUT Him, as is evidenced by posters who know their bible and doctrine well.

But it is also important to KNOW HIM. This must be spiritual since the natural man cannot understand spiritual truths. 1 Corinthians 2:14

Verse 16 even says we have the mind of Christ. That means we could think as He does. What a concept!

Once we know the Lord, we can see Him, His work and His effects, everywhere.
(not only in the bible).

Gee let the guy see.what. God has just opened this to him .. Edward will see the types and shadows every where then his feet will hit ground again... I so remember when i learned something new in the Lord it is over whelming.. it is to be enjoyed...

2Ti_3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

Ya.. I think you're right, Sister.

The book that our Lord wrote never fails to continue to amaze me. When I said that Jesus is on every page of the OT, may have been over-stated a bit, but in no way is a gross exaggeration.

That types and shadows are in the OT is a big thing, and serves to bring validity and glory to God. The amount of genius that is demonstrated in (the Word) in so many ways is..awe inspiring. Prophecies, codes, types & shadows, hidden messages, and all sorts of stuff, another straw of truth on the camels back...it just screams, I AM here, I AM real...

That's worth sharing.

It wasn't really my intent to defend, aha I found a page He's not on so you're wrong battle with someone who don't get it. Ya missed the whole point Brother, sorry. He let me see it.

I appreciate your going to these specifics and they lend weight to your argument. But you did say in the OP, 'Jesus is on almost (if not all) every page of the OT'. That is a gross exaggeration - hyperbole.

Gross exaggeration or hyperbole is a literary device used millions of times in the bible to make a point. On the other hand, if the OT was written on scrolls, then there really aren't that many individual pages to speak of.

And you didn't even give one example. Not ONE!ed

Sounds awfully like the new Gnosticism to me.

It's true.
I'm amazed at how all the writings in the Bible are so consistent and don't contradict each other despite them being written at different times by different people. It has withstood everything fallen man has tossed at it.

I get it.

 

[Jethro Bodine]

I'm not about to make something a type or shadow as my own creation.

Do you agree that Joseph is a type and shadow of Christ?
