  1. Beginning to Read the Bible Typology

  2. Typology • A Biblical Type is a person, place, or event in the Old Testament that has its own proper significance but also prefigures a person, place, or event later in the Old Testament or in the New Testament. • For example, Jonah emerging from the whale after 3 days is a type of Jesus emerging from the tomb after 3 days.

  3. Typology • Also, Moses’ parting of the Red Sea can be viewed as a type of Baptism (according to St. Paul 1 Cor 10:2) • Typology shows us that God is the author of history and how He gradually unfolds His plan to save humanity. • See CCC 1094

  4. More than a prediction… • A prediction is a foretelling of something that may happen in the future. • Ex. Predictions of the coming of Jesus and his suffering. “I gave my back to those who beat me,    my cheeks to those who tore out my beard;My face I did not hide from insults and spitting.” Isaiah 50:6 • A type is a person or event that has its own original meaning and also points forward to something else in the future. • Types can be uses as analogies that explain the new in terms of the old. • Ex. Abraham’s sacrifice of Isaac points forward to God’s sacrifice of His only Son on the cross.
