Revision as of 08:43, 1 June 2024

Typology is the study of "types" or pre-figurements of Christ and other Scriptural persons or things and events that point to the fulfillment of the Old Covenant by Jesus Christ.

Typology as a tool for understanding the History of Salvation

typology reveals the parallels between the Old and New Testaments
- which helps us to understand "Salvation History," or "God's Plan for Salvation
- by which Christ redeems mankind from the Fall of Adam and Eve.

Mary and the Ark

Mary the Mother of God parallels to many Old Testament types, but one of the most important is to the Ark of the Covenant.

WIth the Incarnation, we begin the New Covenant, or fulfillment of the Old Covenant.


	Old Testament	Mary
The Ark of the Covenant	The Ark moved to >> house for 3 months	Mary visits Elizabeth
	David dances	John leaps for Joy from the womb
John the Baptist	Elizabeth and Zachariah are a type for the Old Covenant (faithful to it)	John marks the New Covenant and serves to announce it literally in his mission

Biblical parallels (misc)

Two sons

the Parable of the Prodigal Son starts

A man had two sons... (Lk 15:11)

unrelated to the parable, but "two sons" or sibling rivalries ocurr across the Bible:
- Cain and Abel
- Ishmael and Isaac
- Jacob and Esau
- Adonijah and Solomon
