What does the Bible say about types and antitypes?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that the Old Testament (OT) types point to New Testament (NT) realities, specifically the work of Christ.

Types in the Old Testament serve as shadows that foreshadow the ultimate reality found in Jesus Christ. In Hebrews 10:1, it is affirmed that the law has a shadow of good things to come, illustrating how OT rituals and sacrifices were symbolic representations of spiritual truths fulfilled in Christ. The study of these types reveals God's divine authorship of Scripture and the unity of His plan across different dispensations. Each type is a parabolic representation of redemption, helping us grasp the depth of Christ's work through material symbols, thereby enriching our understanding of the New Testament teachings.
