THE CENTRAL QUESTION

How do God’s patterns
point toward fulfillment?

Biblical types are real people, events, offices, institutions, sacrifices, places, and times ordered by God to prepare for greater fulfillment.

This volume distinguishes typology from allegory and speculation, then follows Adam, patriarchs, Exodus, judges, kings, tabernacle, priesthood, sacrifices, cleansing, feasts, land, inheritance, and apostolic interpretation toward Christ, the church, the Kingdom, and consummation where Scripture directs.

“Which are a shadow of things to come.”— Colossians 2:17

THE DOCTRINAL BURDEN

01

History carries forward design

A type retains its original reality while participating in a God-appointed pattern.

02

Scripture identifies the pattern

Context, covenant, progressive revelation, and later biblical use govern every correspondence.

03

Fulfillment is greater

Persons, deliverances, offices, sanctuaries, sacrifices, and holy times prepare categories brought to fullness.

04

Allegory must be refused

Similarity alone cannot authorize hidden meanings, erased promises, or imaginative systems.
