2 | Your point? | 1 Sam 25:1 | ShariW | 187836 | ||
Dear Searcher, I'm not quite following you. I looked up the meaning of what is commonly referred to as "types and shadows" (typeology) and copied and pasted a fairly good definition of what I was talking about. Forgive me if you are way past this but I'm just not following you. Wick Broomall has a concise statement that is helpful. “A type is a shadow cast on the pages of Old Testament history by a truth whose full embodiment or antitype is found in the New Testament revelation” (Baker’s Dictionary of Theology, p. 533). We would, in summary, suggest the following definition, which we paraphrase from Terry. A type is a real, exalted happening in history which was divinely ordained by the omniscient God to be a prophetic picture of the good things which He purposed to bring to fruition in Christ Jesus. New Testament Terms There are several words used in the Greek New Testament to denote what we have just defined as a type. First, there is the term tupos (the basis of our English word “type”). Though this word is variously employed in the New Testament, it is certainly used in our present sense in Romans 5:14 where Paul declares that Adam “is a figure (tupos) of him that was to come”, i.e., Christ. Second, there is the word skia, rendered “shadow.” In Colossians 2:17, certain elements of the Mosaic system are said to be “a shadow of the things to come” (cf. Heb. 8:5; 10:1). Third, there is the term hupodeigma, translated “copy,” and used in conjunction with “shadow” in Hebrews 8:5 (cf. Heb. 9:23). Fourth, the Greek word parabole (compare our English, “parable”) is found in Hebrews 9:9, where certain elements of the tabernacle are “a figure for the present time” (cf. Heb. 11:19). Finally, one should note the use of antitupon, rendered “figure” (KJV) or “pattern” (ASV) in Hebrews 9:24, and “like figure” (KJV) or “true likeness” (ASV) in I Peter 3:21. This word, as used in the New Testament, denotes “that which corresponds to” the type; it is the reality which fulfills the prophetic picture. |

4 | Your thoughts on the story of Abigail? | 1 Sam 25:1 | ShariW | 187822 | ||
Hi, thank you for responding. I really need and appreciate the input and you seem to be really grounded in the Word. If you will allow, I’d like to present a few points that would support my theory: First of all Nabal: What is interesting is that not one good thing is said about him. It’s all bad. The narrator says he was churlish and evil in his doings. The servant says that Nabel was a son of Belial. I did a google search on “Belial” and a definition from the Satanic Bible came up which puts Nabel in an entirely different category as we would think of a “fool.” The Satanic Bible names Belial as one of the Four Crown Princes of Hell (specifically, the North Crown), and states that his name means "'without a master' and symbolizes true independence, self-sufficiency, and personal accomplishment."[3] Belial represents the earth element, is the Master of Mankind and the Champion of Humanity, and represents the carnal and base urges of mankind. AND is it possible that the “feast” Nabel is drunk at is a feast to the god Belial. The difference between Nabal and Abigail is the difference between two kingdoms. And David has gone to Nabal and asked him for an offering and recognition of what he has done for him and recognition of who (and what) David was. He had sent the men to greet him “in my name.” Nabel responds that he doesn’t recognize him or “the son of Jesse” which most likely is a reference to the Messiah. God says that everything belongs to Him and we are to return a tithe back to him right? Nabal responds to David’s request with: why should I take “my” bread and “my” water and “my” flesh that “I” have killed… Offerings and sacrifices are regarded as a divine institution. They did not originate with man. God Himself appointed it as the mode in which acceptable worship was to be offered to Him by guilty man. If this is a foreshadow, then David had asked for it and Nabal had refused. Arrogance and demon worship: these are things that bring on God’s righteous wrath. Remember Exodus 32? … “Now then let Me alone, that My anger may burn against them, and that I may destoy them; and I will make of you a great nation…” God loves intercessors because they can talk him into staying His wrath. Moses did as Abigail did to David. And as for God destroying Nabal and not the others that Abigail had interceeded for: also in Exodus 32 “ But now, if Thouu wilt, forgive their sin – and if not, please blot me out from Thy book which Thou hast written! And the Lord said to Moses, “Whoever has sinned against Me, I will blot him out of My book.” So, perhaps this is why those who were innocent in deed but by association with Nabal were pardoned by Abigail’s intercession but Nabal was not. |

Thank you! That was a great and detailed answer and I appreciate your time and effort. Would you be willing to answer another one? I'm beginning to think that the story of Abigail has "layers" to it. There's the basic story and then there's "types and shadows" to it. Is it possible that Nabal is a type of "carnal man"(it says that Nabel is a "son of Belial" that David is a type of Father God who asks for an offering and the recognition that implies, that the servant who tells Abigail to "think what she should do" is the Holy Spirit" and Abigail is a "type and shadow" of Jesus who asks that the blame be on her "intercession" and provides the sacrifice? Am I off base here? Thank you! |
