Part One

Part Two

TYPOLOGY is a method of biblical interpretation whereby an element found in the Old Testament is seen to prefigure one found in the New Testament. The initial one is called the type, and the fulfillment is designated the antitype. 

Type:

These are the names of the men which Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Oshe´a the son of Nun, Jehoshua [Jesus]. (Numbers 13:16)

Jesus [Joshua] means 'Savior' or 'the Lord is my salvation', and he would be the one to lead the Israelites to the promised land, a type of the Kingdom of God.

But Joshua [Jesus] the son of Nun, which standeth before thee, he shall go in thither: encourage him: for he shall cause Israel to inherit it. (Deuteronomy 1:38)

Antitype:

She will bear a Son; and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins. (Matthew 1:21)

He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. (Revelation 21:7)

For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? (1 John 5:4 - 5 )

The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ. (Romans 8:16 - 17)

Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world, would lead the children of God to their true inheritance, the heavenly promised land, the Kingdom of God.

"All this occurred in this manner, in the second year of the reign of Vespasian, according to the predictions of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, who by his divine power foresaw all these things as if already present at the time, who wept and mourned indeed, at the prospect, as the holy evangelists show in their writings. These give us the very words that he uttered, when he said to this same Jerusalem, "If thou didst know, even thou, in this thy day the things that belong to thy peace, but now they are hidden from thy eyes, for the days will come upon thee, and thy enemies shall cast a trench around thee, and shall encompass thee around, and shall everywhere shut thee in, and they shall level thee and thy children with the ground." Afterwards he speaks as if of the people—"For there shall be great distress upon earth, and wrath upon this people, and they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and they shall be carried away captive to all nations, and Jerusalem shall be trodden down by the nations, until the times of the nations shall be fulfilled." And again, "When ye shall see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that her desolation has drawn near."

On comparing the declarations of our Saviour with the other parts of the historian's [Josephus] work, where he describes the whole war, how can one fail to acknowledge and wonder at the truly divine and extraordinary foreknowledge and prediction of our Saviour'?"

- Eusebius, Ecclesiastical History, Book III, Ch. VII
