Hi, singer27... There are, indeed, "types" in the Bible. 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. You see, the word "type" has a very specific meaning. Furthermore, not everything is symbolic of something else. Christ gives us the point of the parable of the virgins (Matthew 25:1-12) in verse 13 of that chapter when He says, "Be on the alert then, for you do not know the day nor the hour [of My return]." When interpreting parables, don't get bogged down in the elements of the parable, but try to see the single point that it serves to teach. You can read some points on proper interpretation of parables in post #157835. In Him, Doc |
