PRINCIPLES OF BIBLICAL HERMENETICS ; M. M. NINAN<br />

There are various kinds of types presented in the Old Testament. Chief among these are:<br />

Typical Events<br />

Example: I Cor. 10:2; i.e. passing through the cloud and sea-a type of baptisms<br />

Typical People<br />

Example: Heb. 7; i.e. Melchizedek-a type of Christ<br />

Typical Things<br />

Example:Heb. 8:1-5; i.e. the tabernacle; within the tabernacle are several symbols, such as:<br />

the golden altar, candlestick and veil. The tabernacle is a type of atonement, and the symbols<br />

each help to point to that complete fulfillment in Jesus on the cross in the New Testament.<br />

Typical Offices<br />

Example: Heb. 4:14; i.e. Jesus as the High Priest)<br />

Hebrews 10:1-2 “The law is only a shadow of the good things that are coming-not the<br />

realities themselves. For this reason it can never, by the same sacrifices repeated endlessly<br />

year after year, make perfect those who draw near to worship. If it could, would they not<br />

have stopped being offered?”<br />
