Bible Question:
On word4life.com, I read that the cup bearer and baker in Genesis fourty are pictures of Christ.Jesus said He was the bread of life (John 6:35). He said He was the vine branch (John 15:1). On the night of his betrayal, he gave them wine, telling them it represented his blood that was going to be shed for you (Luke 22:20) and the bread that was going to be broken (I Corinthians 11:24). He asked them to do this in remembrance of Him. As we saw that in three days the wine taster would be given life and the baker would have his life taken. We see that picture of how Jesus would die and on the third day He would rise again. Is the above typeology accurate? Chusarcik |
Bible Answer: Happy New Year, Chusarcik! Dr. C. I. Scofield, who was certainly big on the theory or doctrine of biblical typology, issued two warnings on the subject: "(1) nothing may be insisted upon as a type without explicit New Testament authority; and (2) all types not so authenticated must be recognized as having only the authority of analogy, of spiritual congruity." Concerning types he further observes, "Types occur most frequently in the Pentateuch, but are found, more sparingly, elsewhere. The antitype, or fulfillment of the type, is found generally in the New Testament." This is an excerpt from Scofield's annotation on Genesis 2:23 that appears in the New Scofield Reference Bible (KJV), 1967 Edition, (Oxford University Press). Perhaps Dr. Scofield's guidelines will prove helpful to you. --Hank |
