Types of Christ in the Old Testament

[Amy.G]

But thou shalt be thrown down- by Christ.

Even this story is about Christ.

The whole Bible is a narrative about Christ.

The stories that do not directly address him are leading up to something about him.

The whole bible is about Christ, but the point of the OP is to post "types" of Christ.

You have to argue about everything don't you?
Can't you just get along?

 

[Luke2427]

I'm not arguing with you. In fact I was thrilled to see that you believe the Old Testament is about Jesus.

[Aaron]

Isaiah 14:14-15 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.



Definitely NOT about Christ.

How do you not see Christ in this?

It isn't a type, figure or shadow of Christ. That's what the OP is about.

 

[RAdam]

How do you not see Christ in this?

That's about the devil and the man of sin, not Christ.

 

[Dr. Bob]

Might have been wise to begin this thread with pertinent definitions.

Type - which is distinguished from:

Metaphor (God is a Rock)

Simile (like a Shepherd)

Personification

Synecdoche

I think there are general "types" but many more are simply metaphors, similes, et al

 

[GFlanagan3]

are we confusing types and Christophanies with some of the examples cited?

 

[kyredneck]

I don't care if the proper category is type or shadow or allegory or simile or whatever; the amazing astounding fact is that these things are proof, concrete evidence, every much as is prophecy, of the supernatural that we have in our possession. It makes my heart soar at times. It magnifies and glorifies God.

Thank you Lord!
