Old Testament Typology
"One day God would send another Prince, a young Prince whose heart would break. Like Joseph, he would leave his home and his Father. His brothers would hate him and want him dead. He would be sold for pieces of silver. He would be punished even though he had done nothing wrong.But God would use everything that happened to this young Prince – even the bad things – to do something good: to forgive the sins of the whole world." - Sally Lloyd-Jones, The Jesus Story Book Bible
As we journey through the Bible chronologically, one thing becomes abundantly clear...There is a glorious relationship between the Testaments and we see beautiful foreshadowing of Jesus Christ in many places!
In short, 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.
Here are several great articles and resources on the subject:
