Doc, thanks for the bit from Josephus and the link for that sermon. I hear you that Christ is on every page... The course was about theophanies of Christ and types of Christ in the OT. Trying to see still how what happened at the tower of Babel fits that criteria... See how man being sinful and trying to reach heaven without redemption has to do with Christ though. | ||||||

Hi, Tamara... When Scripture doesn't give us the authority for a type, then we lack the authority to make those connections. Here are some valid examples: we know that the brass serpent of Numbers 21:9 is a type of Christ because we have the authority of John 3:14 to see it as a type; we know that Adam of Genesis 2 was a anti-type of Christ because we have the authority of 1 Corinthians 15:47 to see Adam as a anti-type; we know that Melchizedek of Genesis 14 was a type of Christ because we have the authority of Hebrews 7 to see Melchizedek as a type; Noah's preservation in the flood prefigured baptism per 1 Peter 3:20-21; etc. On the other hand, we can't, for example, consider Joshua a type of Jesus. Scripture gives us no such authority. The fact that they had the same name is not sufficient reason for us to make a typological connection. Certainly man's sinfulness and God's sovereign, righteous judgment can be seen in the narrative of the Tower of Babel. But we do not have Scriptural authority to read into it an allegory. That would be a serious violation of sound, grammatico-historical exegesis. In Him, Doc |

Thank you Doc for settling this matter. This is important information, for instance I was given a bunch of scriptures for Types of Christ in the OT, that I think are eisegesis; Israel the nation as a type for Christ - Hosea 1:11,Mathew 1:25, the Temmple of Solomon as a type for Christ - Ezekiel 11:16, 37:26, Psalm 11:42, the sacrifices of Israel as a type for Christ - Hosea 13:14, Psalm 40, the priest as a type for Christ - Psalm 110, 70, Deuteronomy 32:43, the savior as a type for Christ Numbers 20:16, Ezekiel 33:2,3, the covenant as a type for Christ - Genesis 15, 22. This is the kind of thing that was also happening in this class. Agape, Tamara | ||||||

Isn't the analogy of faith (Scripture explains Scripture) cool? (See post #156917.) | ||||||
