0:02 so today we're gonna talk about some
0:05 principles and types and what I mean is
0:07 principles for how we find Jesus in the
0:08 Old Testament but we're also gonna look
0:11 at specific one specific example which
0:13 is Adam in Christ we're gonna focus on
0:14 that example and how we can learn from
0:20 it because Adam is it turns out is a
0:22 picture of Christ in the Old Testament
0:25 but also think about this think about
0:27 the heaviness of this he's a real guy
0:31 and God used this real person to be a
0:34 real life 3d living image that we could
0:37 look at and see some contrast and some
0:39 comparisons to Jesus that God actually
0:42 throughout the scriptures uses people to
0:45 tell the story of who Christ is this is
0:48 like a next level God's glory in our
0:51 lives when you think about it he's using
0:54 people to represent who he is so today
0:56 we're gonna give an example of a
0:58 specific type in the Old Testament and
1:00 the New Testament that's that the Bible
1:02 says this is a representation here this
1:03 isn't we're not fabricating this we're
1:05 not finding on our own even God's like
1:06 saying look this is this is clearly in
1:09 the text now the reason why I'm gonna do
1:11 this let me explain my thought process
1:13 here originally what I was gonna do is I
1:15 was gonna walk you guys through a bunch
1:18 of principles on how we find types in
1:21 the Old Testament and this was gonna
1:23 take a few weeks to do just principles a
1:24 whole bunch of them lay out all the
1:26 rules and answer all the questions about
1:28 how we find types of Jesus in the Old
1:30 Testament then we were gonna go into the
1:32 Old Testament start looking for these
1:34 types but I've learned something doing
1:36 youth ministry that I'll share with you
1:40 right now and that is sometimes it's
1:42 hard to learn all the rules of a game
1:44 before you're playing the game and what
1:45 happens is you you we would sit down
1:47 with the kids and we'd read all the
1:49 rules for some game and by the time you
1:50 finish reading the rules you go to play
1:52 the game and no one has any idea I don't
1:54 know so I frequently will interrupt
1:56 whatever leaders like explaining the
1:57 rules and go let's just start playing
2:01 and explain it as we play and I found
2:02 that this is a more effective way of
2:04 teaching a game to people is to explain
2:06 it while they're playing it rather than
2:07 before they play and this is see what I
2:08 want to do is apply this to what we're
2:10 doing here not because it's not it's not
2:12 that it's a game but there is the sort
2:13 of math
2:14 side of it and then there's the very
2:16 simple application side so we're gonna
2:18 do both at the same time what we're
2:19 gonna do over the next several weeks
2:21 assuming that this seems to work well
2:24 with you guys is we're gonna take one or
2:27 more types that are in the Bible
2:29 we're gonna look at them and then we're
2:30 gonna conclude after looking at them
2:32 with and what principles now have we
2:34 learned so that we can apply that when
2:35 we're looking for other things in the
2:37 Old Testament so we're gonna play the
2:38 game while we learn the game does that
2:40 make sense I think it'll be more
2:42 interesting I think you'll find it to be
2:45 slightly less boring for for just you
2:47 know the flesh is weak for the our
2:48 ability to stay focused and pay
2:50 attention so today we're gonna give you
2:52 one type and that's gonna be Adam in
2:54 Christ how Adam represents Christ we're
2:55 gonna look at this from several
2:57 different scriptures and then we'll draw
2:59 principles out as we go so here let's
2:59 get started
3:05 Genesis 1:26 Genesis 1:26 it says then
3:07 God said let us make man in our image
3:10 after our likeness and let them have
3:12 dominion over the fish of the sea and
3:14 over the birds of the heavens and over
3:15 the livestock and over all the earth and
3:18 over every creeping thing that creeps on
3:20 the earth so God created man in his own
3:23 image in the image of God he created him
3:25 male and female he created them and God
3:27 blessed them and God said to them be
3:29 fruitful and multiply and fill the earth
3:33 and subdue it and have dominion over the
3:35 fish of the sea and over the birds of
3:36 the heavens and over every living thing
3:39 that moves on the earth and so that the
3:41 appearance of Adam first on you know in
3:43 Genesis Old Testament we're noticing a
3:45 few things right Adams made Adam and Eve
3:46 right but but we'll talk about it
3:48 because he's highlighted later I made in
3:51 the image of God and then told to fill
3:55 the earth right to repopulate or to
3:57 actually populate the earth and then
4:00 also told to have dominion or authority
4:01 over all this stuff on the earth so
4:02 there's some of the elements that we've
4:06 noticed then in Genesis 3 things go wrong
4:06 wrong
4:10 and after Adam and Eve eat of the fruit
4:14 in Genesis 3:17 we have this this is an
4:16 and to Adam he said because you've
4:18 listened to the voice of your wife and
4:20 have eaten of the tree of which I
4:22 commanded you you shall not eat of it
4:24 cursed is the ground because of you in
4:26 pain you shall eat of it all the days of
4:27 your life
4:28 thorns and thistles it shall bring forth
4:31 for you and you shall eat the plants of
4:33 the field by the sweat of your face you
4:35 shall eat bread till you return to the
4:37 ground for out of it you were taken for
4:40 dust you are and to dust you shall
4:43 return so we have these sort of two big
4:45 moments in Adams life right the creation
4:49 his commission and then the fall and
4:51 what the New Testament does and go and
4:53 turn to Romans five is the New Testament
4:56 takes Adam and relates him to Jesus very
4:58 specifically and this is a great place
5:01 for us to start in our study of types of
5:02 Christ in the Old Testament or how to
5:04 find Jesus in the Old Testament because
5:07 this is where God is telling you here's
5:08 how you find Jesus you know like here he
5:13 is he is he is right here in Adam and
5:15 let's read here Romans 5:12
5:19 here's the comparison therefore just as
5:21 sin came into the world through one man
5:24 that would be Adam and death through sin
5:26 so death spread to all men because all
5:29 sinned for sin indeed was in the world
5:31 before the law was given but sin is not
5:32 counted when there is where there is no
5:36 law yet death reigned from Adam to Moses
5:38 even over those whose sinning was not
5:41 like the transgression of Adam who is a
5:44 type of the one who was to come and and
5:46 here we get actually the New Testament
5:48 using the terminology type this is where
5:50 we get it we say a type of Christ we
5:52 actually get that right out of the text
5:54 itself Adam is a type of him who is to
5:57 come this is like a a mirror image a
5:59 reflection so to speak or the idea like
6:01 a ring where the ring has a seal and you
6:03 press the seal in and you've got the two
6:07 things that correspond to each other so
6:08 Adam who was a type of the one who was
6:11 to come but then it starts in verse 15
6:15 to draw some of the ways that Adam is is
6:18 like Jesus but also ways that Adam is
6:21 like the opposite of Jesus and I think
6:22 that the way Adam represents Christ
6:25 becomes kind of a road map for how we
6:27 apply typology to other characters in
6:30 the Bible so here verse 15 it says but
6:31 the free gift does not like the trespass
6:34 for if many died through one man's
6:37 trespass much more have the grace of God
6:39 and the free gift by the grace of that
6:41 one man Jesus Christ of
6:43 founded for many notice how he's
6:45 repeatedly referred to Adam as one man
6:47 and the refers to Jesus as one man
6:49 just notice the correlation there verse
6:51 16 and the free gift is not like the
6:53 result of the one man's that one man
6:54 sent for the judgment following one
6:56 tress Pratt trespass brought
6:59 condemnation but the free gift following
7:02 many trespasses brought justification
7:04 for if because of one man's trespass
7:07 death reigned through that one man much
7:09 more will those who receive the
7:11 abundance of grace and the free gift of
7:13 righteousness reign in life through the
7:17 one man Jesus Christ therefore as one
7:20 trespass led to condemnation for all men
7:22 so one act of righteousness leads to
7:25 justification and life for all men for
7:28 as by the one man's disobedience the
7:30 many were made sinners so by the one
7:32 man's obedience the many will be made
7:35 righteous so we see that there's these
7:39 points of comparison let's kind of recap
7:42 Adam represented everyone who represents
7:44 all of us all sinned all died in Adam we
7:48 all fall to the same fate and Christ
7:51 therefore stands to represent all of us
7:53 this isn't universalism it's some people
7:54 actually try to use this passage to
7:56 teach universalism but that's not not
7:58 what's in view clearly as you read for
7:59 the rest of Romans and read through the
8:03 Scriptures but it is saying that as Adam
8:04 is sort of like this figurehead to
8:06 represent all humankind and the decision
8:09 he made set the fate for all of us so
8:11 Jesus then becomes the next figurehead
8:14 for all of us and in Christ I have the
8:17 opposite fate sin entered through Adam
8:18 that's what entered through Adam
8:20 according to Roman's and and
8:24 righteousness entered through Jesus so
8:26 this these are like opposites right this
8:29 is more like a an inversion image you
8:32 know what you when you switch the
8:34 black-and-whites on a picture and you
8:35 get that inverted image in some ways
8:37 Adam is like an inverted or reversed
8:40 image of Jesus yeah in some ways he's
8:42 the same I don't represented all of us
8:43 Jesus came to represent all of us in
8:45 some ways he's the opposite Adam brought
8:48 sin Jesus brought righteousness death
8:51 came through Adam life came through
8:53 Jesus this is just what Romans 5 lays out
8:54 out
8:56 death one came raw death one brought
8:59 life condemnation came through Adam
9:02 specifically condemnation but
9:05 justification came through Jesus many
9:07 were made sinners through Adam but many
9:10 were made righteous through Jesus and so
9:12 here's the principle let me pause for a
9:13 second what principle are we learning
9:15 here as we look at typology in the Old
9:17 Testament is that it's very much a
9:20 compare and contrast thing when I was in
9:21 school we used to get these assignments
9:24 right in like social studies and they'd
9:25 say at the end of the chapter compare
9:27 and contrast dot dot dot would tell you
9:29 what to compare and contrast compare and
9:32 contrast the the process by which the
9:34 bill was our something ratified by the
9:37 who'sa wetsuits and I always struggled
9:40 with this because I was like comparing
9:42 contra I didn't I honestly four years I
9:46 did not understand that compare meant
9:49 how are they alike and contrast meant
9:51 how are they different but that's what
9:52 we're getting here that's like the
9:54 principle we can apply to typology is we
9:56 go to the Old Testament and we find a
9:58 type or picture of Christ asks two
10:01 questions how are they alike and how are
10:04 they different because you will see this
10:06 repeatedly with the types that the Bible
10:08 gives us in some ways they are alike but
10:09 there are important ways they are
10:10 different and the differences are part
10:11 of the typology
10:15 so Adam figurehead for all of us Jesus
10:17 figure had for all of us compare but
10:19 then there's the contrast part Adam
10:20 brought death Jesus brought life Adam
10:22 brought sin Jesus for righteousness Adam
10:23 brought condemnation Jesus brought
10:26 justification because it turns out that
10:29 Jesus is better Jesus is better than all
10:31 of the types that represent him and
10:33 that's actually important Hebrews one
10:34 will eventually get there but it
10:35 actually drives home this thing over and
10:36 over again
10:38 the book of Hebrews that Jesus is
10:40 greater than the priest greater than the
10:42 prophet greater than the Angels greater
10:45 than fill-in-the-blank he's he's greater
10:47 than all of these things so there's the
10:49 part of the contrast that's there let's
10:51 go to first Corinthians 15 there's
10:52 another passage that relates to this as
10:56 well first Corinthians 15 and verse 45
10:59 this is another one of those Adam
11:07 it says for screen thien's 1545 thus it
11:09 is written the first man Adam became a
11:13 living being the last man Adam became a
11:16 life-giving spirit but it is not the
11:18 spiritual that is first but the natural
11:21 and then the spiritual the first man was
11:25 from the earth a man of dust Adam right
11:27 the second man is from heaven as was the
11:29 man of dust so also are those who are of
11:32 the dust and as is the man of heaven so
11:35 also are those who are of heaven just
11:37 and here's the application he's gonna
11:39 apply that for us just as we have borne
11:41 the image of the man of dust we shall
11:44 also bear the image of the man of heaven
11:49 so speaking of the image that Adam was
11:52 was was made in he was made in God's
11:55 image except he was of dust before he
11:56 even had kids
11:58 he was consigned to stay dust and died
12:01 as dust and we were born and we get some
12:04 dusty experiences of our own but Jesus
12:06 he comes and gives us that fullness of
12:09 life the the greater one the greater
12:14 Adam the last Adam in Genesis 1:26 we
12:16 have some more correlations because
12:17 there's a lot actually between Adam and
12:19 Jesus and I'll point out a bunch of it
12:19 and there's more than I'll get into
12:22 tonight that would be for your own self
12:24 to discover I really do believe there's
12:27 more here so in Genesis 1:26 Adam is
12:29 made in God's likeness in His image
12:34 right but but in Hebrews 1:3 I believe
12:35 we get a case that Jesus is that but
12:38 more so and here's the typology Jesus
12:40 being greater than the Old Testament
12:43 type that corresponds to him so he was
12:45 1:3 says he is the radiance of the glory
12:48 of God and the exact imprint of his
12:49 nature and upholds the universe by the
12:52 word of his power so it's like way
12:55 beyond Adam in his representation of God
12:57 being in the image Jesus comes he's the
12:59 radiance of the glory of God the exact
13:01 imprint of his nature Colossians 1:15
13:03 says that Jesus is the image of the
13:08 invisible God so mankind was made in
13:13 God's image Jesus is the image you know
13:15 Adam was made in the image
13:17 and then it was then these things were
13:20 Marge somehow and we now bear the image
13:22 of Adam so to speak not just I'm wearing
13:23 God's image still but there's like this
13:26 tainted nough stew it and we die but
13:28 Christ comes and then we will bear in
13:30 his image he's restoring the thing that
13:34 Adam lost Adam was commanded in Genesis
13:38 1:21 26 also let them have dominion over
13:39 the fish of the sea and over the birds
13:41 of the heavens over the livestock and
13:42 over all the earth and over every
13:43 creeping thing that creeps on the earth
13:46 so Adam was told to have dominion
13:48 but that Dominion was somehow damaged
13:51 after a judgment came in Genesis 3 he's
13:52 like yeah you know the grounds not gonna
13:55 yield to you and there's basically gonna
13:57 be these problems in you accomplishing
14:01 the task of Dominion Jesus in a greater
14:06 sense has Dominion in Ephesians 1:20 it
14:08 says that he worked in Christ when he
14:09 raised him from the dead and seated him
14:11 at his right hand in the heavenly places
14:14 far above all rule and authority and
14:17 power and Dominion and above every name
14:18 that is named not only in this age but
14:21 also in the one to come and he put all
14:23 things under his feet and gave him his
14:25 head over all things to the church which
14:27 is his body the fullness of him who
14:31 fills all in all Philippians 2:10 speaks
14:32 of this dominion of Christ as well and
14:34 it says so that at the name of Jesus
14:36 every knee should bow in heaven and on
14:38 earth and under the earth so Adams
14:39 Dominion is like limited to this earthly
14:41 realm and even that's kind of marred
14:43 Jesus comes his Dominion is unlimited
14:46 and then of course we come into Christ
14:49 and we actually share in that Dominion
14:54 where co-heirs with Christ so you see
14:57 how what Adam failed at or partially
14:58 represented Christ comes in fulfills and
15:02 is the full representation of Adam was
15:04 told to be fruitful and multiply to be
15:07 fruitful and multiply this was not about
15:09 mathematics this is this is this is
15:11 about procreation right you filled the
15:14 earth and be fruitful and Christ he does
15:17 so but in a far greater away in a far
15:19 greater way in Romans 8 16 and 17 it
15:21 says the Spirit Himself bears witness
15:23 with our spirit that we are children of
15:26 God and if children then heirs heirs of
15:28 God and fellow heirs with Christ
15:29 provided we saw
15:31 with him in order that we may also yeah
15:34 we may also be glorified with him so we
15:36 have this whole idea of being children
15:38 and the idea of being co-heirs with
15:39 Christ kind of both of these things and
15:42 just in Genesis 1:26 Adam was told both
15:44 of those qualities be fruitful multiply
15:46 and - and have dominion and that's what
15:48 Jesus ultimately accomplished in a far
15:53 greater and far more expansive way but
15:56 there's a whole other side to the Adam
15:58 in Christ typology that God has placed
16:01 and not only in reality but also in the
16:03 text of Scripture so Ephesians 5:22
16:05 husbands wives we know this passage
16:07 hopefully we know it really well we have
16:09 to keep reminding ourselves of this if
16:10 we're gonna honor God in our marriage
16:14 and if he's just 5:22 we find another
16:16 layer of this sin has to do with Adam
16:18 and Eve and Christ in the church and the
16:20 picture of that so it says wives submit
16:23 to your own husband's as to the Lord for
16:24 the husband is the head of the wife even
16:26 as Christ is the head of the church his
16:29 body and is himself its Savior now as
16:31 the church submits to Christ so also
16:33 wives should submit in everything to
16:36 their husbands husbands love your wives
16:38 as Christ loved the church and gave
16:40 himself up for her that he might
16:42 sanctify her having cleansed her by the
16:44 washing of the water with the word so
16:45 that he might present the church to
16:47 himself in splendor without spot or
16:49 wrinkle or any such thing that she might
16:52 be holy and without blemish in the same
16:54 way husbands should love their wives as
16:56 their own bodies he who loves his wife
16:59 loves himself for no one ever hated his
17:02 own flesh but nourishes and cherishes it
17:05 just as Christ does the church because
17:07 we are members of his body therefore a
17:08 man shall leave his father and mother
17:09 and hold fast to his wife and the two
17:12 shall become one flesh quoting Genesis
17:16 this mystery is profound and I am saying
17:19 that it refers to Christ and the church
17:21 however lay each one of you love his
17:23 wife as himself and let the wife see
17:25 that she respects her husband do you see
17:27 what he says here he quotes Genesis and
17:29 he goes this mystery of two becoming one
17:32 he goes it's profound and I'm telling
17:33 you what it's about it's about Jesus in
17:37 the church husband and wife are designed
17:40 to be a type representing Jesus and
17:42 church Christ in the church
17:45 this was part of the original plan when
17:46 God did this thing with Adam and Eve and
17:48 then when he had it written and recorded
17:53 for all time he did it to be an embedded
17:55 message about Jesus and the church for
17:58 all time so let's let's look at this
18:00 let's go to Genesis 2 and we'll look at
18:03 the story here about Eve and Adam and
18:04 how they represent Christ in the church
18:06 now that now here's a principle for you
18:08 when the New Testament clearly
18:10 identifies a type like Christ in the
18:12 church Adam and Eve then I think it's
18:15 fair for us to go into the text and go I
18:17 wonder what else is there you know I
18:19 mean that seems legit to me God is
18:21 saying hey there's a profound mystery
18:22 but guess it's about Jesus in the church
18:25 so let's go to the text now and now I'm
18:26 gonna do something I'm gonna take a
18:28 little bit of know I wouldn't call
18:30 Liberty like I'm breaking rules or
18:31 something like that rather I feel like
18:33 I'm obeying rules of biblical
18:35 interpretation and I'm saying let's look
18:38 at how Adam and Eve represent Christ and
18:41 the church so Genesis 2 verse 18 it says
18:44 then the Lord God said it is not good
18:46 that the man should be alone I will make
18:50 a helper fit for him the the King James
18:54 Version says help me I called allicin
18:56 that one time and she was like what what
18:58 does that even mean I just thought I was
19:00 calling her some kind of like site of
19:04 beef or something like that so so I
19:05 didn't call her that any day anymore on
19:08 so I'll make a helper fit for him now
19:09 out of the ground the Lord God had
19:11 formed every beast of the field and
19:13 every bird of heavens of the heavens and
19:15 brought them to the man to see what he
19:16 would call them and whatever the man
19:17 called every living creature that was
19:20 its name the man gave names to all
19:22 livestock into the birds of the heavens
19:25 and to every beast of the field but for
19:28 Adam there was not found a helper fit
19:30 for him so the Lord God caused a deep
19:33 sleep to fall upon the man and while he
19:36 slept he while he slept took one of his
19:39 ribs and closed up in its place with
19:41 flesh closed up its place with flesh
19:43 excuse me and the rib that the Lord God
19:45 had taken from the man he made into a
19:48 woman and brought her to the man then
19:52 the man said this at last is bone of my
19:55 bones and flesh of my flesh she shall be
19:56 called woman
19:58 because she was taken out of man
20:00 therefore a man shall leave his father
20:02 and his mother and hold fast to his wife
20:08 and they shall become one flesh and the
20:09 man and his wife were both naked and
20:13 were not ashamed so let's draw out some
20:15 of the some of the things there's
20:16 actually probably more here than what
20:17 I'm gonna give you tonight and I'd
20:18 encourage you to look for it for
20:20 yourself without being don't make stuff
20:22 up look to find what's actually there
20:24 right so let's look at the points that
20:26 are that are in the passage because
20:27 that's the principle we're learning here
20:30 is that Adam there were these specific
20:32 points Adam brought condemnation Adam
20:33 represented all people Adam brought sin
20:34 and death
20:36 Adam was of the dust Jesus is a
20:39 comparison and a contrast of all of
20:41 those points so we look at the points in
20:43 the text and try to find the relation to
20:47 Christ so in verse 18 Adams gonna have a
20:50 helper fit for him and the truth is as
20:53 God God looks down at creation and sees
20:55 fall and mankind there is no one fit for
20:59 him we're not fit for him we're unfit I
21:03 don't belong in heaven this sinner this
21:07 wicked man I don't belong he has to do
21:08 something to me to make me fit for him
21:12 and so then in verses 19 and 20 we see
21:15 that Eve has not made like the rest of
21:17 creation for Adams formed of the dust
21:19 right God then forms all of the
21:21 creatures and brings them to Adam but
21:23 Eve has not made like this at all Eve
21:25 has made how Eve has made from Adam like
21:27 literally Adams substance taken from his
21:31 own body created Eve that's how Eve was
21:33 made and this is I think a picture of
21:36 the church we are made from Jesus we're
21:39 made from him I'm not made like the rest
21:41 of creation we as Christians we're not
21:43 only in the image of God but being born
21:45 again in Christ and made it into a new a
21:49 new person we are the body of Christ do
21:50 you see the connection between us being
21:53 his body and Eve being made from Adams
21:57 body 2nd Corinthians 5:17 it says
22:00 therefore if any anyone is in Christ
22:02 he's a new creation the old has passed
22:04 away behold the new his common so we've
22:07 been made a help her fit for him through that
22:07 that
22:09 the way that he was made was Adam was
22:12 given put into a deep sleep which you
22:14 might not think is that significant
22:15 until you've realized it's connected to
22:18 Jesus somehow how how is it that we were
22:21 made Christ was put to death for us and
22:23 sleep is a euphemism for death
22:26 throughout the Bible Jesus himself used
22:28 this when Lazarus died he goes he's
22:32 sleeping right then Paul talks about
22:35 those who fallen asleep in Christ
22:37 so this euphemism is there I'm not
22:39 saying Adam actually died but I do think
22:41 the picture is being drawn to represent
22:43 Christ as being sort of the exaggerated
22:46 thing of whatever we see Adam doing you
22:48 know and and Adam he's put to this deep
22:50 sleep Christ he actually did die for us
22:53 the rib is interesting um there-there
22:55 did go around for a while I don't know
22:57 if it's still in any circles the idea
22:59 that men have one less rib than women
23:01 because Adam had one of his ribs removed
23:05 in order to make Eve and I I don't know
23:07 if that's like is that how the real word
23:09 real world works like if someone removes
23:10 your rib your kids are born with one
23:12 less rib is that how it works
23:14 cuz we're all in trouble especially
23:15 through that was like a shop teacher
23:19 you're gonna be missing fingers but but
23:21 actually the word they're probably it
23:23 may well have been it it has to do with
23:24 like something like the cage or the
23:26 structure of something the word that's
23:28 used in the Hebrew therefore rib so it
23:30 may well have been the actual rib bone
23:32 but it seems like it was more than just
23:34 that because Adam says she's bone of my
23:38 bones and flesh of my flesh so it seems
23:40 like there's just like a whole chunk and
23:43 Adam that's been missing from Adam he's
23:45 he's literally for the rest of his life
23:53 scarred to make Eve a wound in his side
24:02 we we were made from the wounds of
24:06 Christ as the church by His stripes we
24:09 are healed I mean he was pierced for us
24:13 and he was pierced we're in the side and
24:16 those wounds may be the only wounds you
24:19 ever see on anyone in heaven Jesus after
24:20 his resurrection still bore the marks of
24:23 his wounds he tells Thomas touched me
24:25 here put your hand in my side put your
24:32 why because it's just like with Adam
24:34 it's like literally the only thing in
24:36 creation at that point that had any
24:40 wounds of any kind and I think is just a
24:42 picture Christ so he was missing
24:44 something and guess what she had the
24:46 thing he was missing he said she's bone
24:48 of my bones and flesh of my flesh we are
24:51 made from the donation of Christ's flesh
24:53 that's what the scripture teaches us
24:56 Ephesians 5:28 through 30 it says in the
24:58 same way husband should love their wives
25:02 as their own bodies and see eve was was
25:04 made of his body he who loves his wife
25:05 loves himself for no one ever hated his
25:07 own flesh but nourishes and cherishes it
25:10 just as Christ does the church and you
25:12 see the connection like the delightful's
25:16 go on like we're his flesh he not in the
25:17 carnal sense no in the sense of where
25:20 his body where his but he made us his
25:23 body and now loves us that was how God
25:25 would make a helper fit for him if I'm
25:27 gonna make someone to fit at him it'll
25:28 have to be made from Adam form to make
25:31 someone to fit Jesus to fit Christ I'll
25:36 have to make them from me Wow in verse
25:40 24 of Genesis 2 she's taken from him and then
25:41 then
25:42 so she's bone of his bones right but
25:44 then they're married and there's this
25:46 synergy between the ideas she's taken
25:48 from his side she's bone of his bone
25:49 flesh of his flesh and then when they
25:51 get married the two become what they
25:54 become one again so there's this like
25:55 idea where Eve is taken from him and
25:57 then they're rejoined in marriage
26:01 they're rejoined in marriage and so we -
26:04 when we're when we are born again in
26:07 Christ were made from him right we're
26:09 not this we're not him right were made
26:10 from him obvious
26:13 donation of his of his sacrifice we
26:15 become his body but then there's a time
26:17 coming in the future where the oneness
26:19 we have with Christ goes beyond because
26:21 while we are the Bride of Christ we are
26:23 yet betrothed so to speak and there is
26:25 the marriage supper of the lamb coming
26:28 and our future eternity in Christ that
26:30 with a oneness that's coming is way
26:33 beyond anything that we've experienced
26:34 in this life
26:36 husband and wife experience a taste of
26:38 this but with Christ it's far beyond
26:41 it's much more first Corinthians chapter
26:45 6 talks about this it says do you not
26:47 know of sir verse 15 through 17 or first
26:50 Corinthians 6 do you not know that your
26:53 bodies are members of Christ shall I
26:54 then take members of Christ and make
26:57 them members of a prostitute never or do
26:59 you not know that he who's joined to a
27:01 prostitute becomes one body with her for
27:03 as it has written the two will come one
27:06 but he who is joined to the Lord becomes
27:09 one spirit with him so Eve experiences a
27:13 physical oneness with Adam but we
27:15 experience a spiritual oneness with
27:17 Christ and that becomes elevated in the
27:20 future that we may be one with him in a
27:21 greater sense and that's in Revelation
27:23 revelation 19 verses 7 through 9 the
27:25 great marriage the the the wonderful
27:27 marriage that all other marriages are
27:30 meant to be a picture of it says let us
27:34 revelation 19:7 let us rejoice and exalt
27:36 and give him glory for the marriage of
27:39 the lamb has come and his bride has made
27:40 herself ready
27:42 it was granted her to clothe herself
27:45 with fine linen bright and pure for the
27:46 fine linen is the righteous deeds of the
27:48 saints and the angel said to me write
27:51 this blessed are those who were invited
27:53 to the marriage supper of the lamb and
27:55 he said to me these are the true words
27:58 of God so we see taken from him and then
28:00 United to him in marriage and this is
28:01 the same thing with our relationship
28:03 with Christ born again in Christ a new
28:05 creation and him made from him and then
28:08 United together one in spirit with him
28:10 and then at the end of Genesis 2 we get
28:12 this interesting phrase which which
28:14 here's another principle I'll give you
28:16 and we'll talk more about this over the
28:18 next weeks but when you read a passage
28:19 in the Old Testament and you go wait
28:23 what oftentimes it's as though that is the
28:24 the
28:26 clue that there's something in there for
28:28 us and we read about this book like the
28:30 bronze serpent or Moses striking the
28:32 rock we read about this with the Eagle
28:35 Hamid and so often those are the things
28:36 where there's a there's a picture of
28:39 Christ for us so in a Fianna sorry
28:41 Genesis 226 it says that they were naked
28:45 and unashamed Adam and Eve were naked
28:47 and unashamed and there's this was a reality
28:47 reality
28:51 I'm not just allegorize but how does it
28:55 picture Christ in the church when you're
28:58 the idea of being naked and unashamed is
29:00 I'm exposed you see all of what I am and
29:03 yet there's nothing to be ashamed of and
29:05 this is how the Bible describes us in
29:08 Christ it says in Ephesians 5:26 that he
29:11 might sanctify her having cleansed her
29:13 by the washing of water with the word so
29:15 that he might present the church to
29:18 himself in splendor without spot or
29:21 wrinkle or any such thing that she might
29:24 be holy and without blemish meaning that
29:29 in Christ this blows my mind I am not
29:34 only forgiven I am relieved of my shame
29:37 and that's not the same thing as being
29:39 forgiven exactly is it there's more to
29:42 it than that I'm relieved of my shame in
29:45 Christ and yes this comes in in our
29:50 future presentation to him that I'm
29:52 positionally forgiven in him but yet I
29:54 feel as though my shame keeps returning
29:58 periodically this life as I fail as I as
30:01 I blow it as I go into the flesh and yet
30:02 there is a time coming where there will
30:05 be no more flesh you will be able to get
30:09 along you guys really well even better I
30:11 talk to most of us get along pretty well
30:13 at least I far as I know maybe maybe
30:14 some of you guys got things going on I
30:16 don't know about but first I know we get
30:17 along pretty well but but don't because
30:19 you imagine the fellowship when our
30:22 flesh is no longer in the way no Envy no
30:27 jealousy no pride no weird anxieties
30:29 created by the awareness of personal
30:30 failings and things like that like
30:32 unashamed and that's that's how they're
30:34 presented to each other and that is how
30:37 the bride will be presented to Christ
30:41 unashamed Wow so um so okay there's
30:43 there's some pictures of Adam in Christ
30:45 I really believe there is more there and
30:47 if you study the passage on your own you
30:49 may find more there I caution you to
30:51 make sure that you do what I'm trying to
30:52 do here which is you find actually
30:54 specific points in the text that can be
30:58 drawn out reasonably reasonably inferred
31:01 to be types of Christ or representations
31:03 of the relationship between Christ and
31:06 us but let's talk up now about a couple
31:07 principles because there's one I want to
31:10 cover in particular somebody might say
31:12 Mike what you're doing when you go to
31:15 the Old Testament and you interpret it
31:16 this way is you're violating one of the
31:20 golden rules of hermeneutics no reason
31:21 have you heard the term of hermeneutics
31:23 before okay good you yeah smart you guys
31:25 there's like almost everybody so
31:27 hermeneutics is defined in short right
31:30 it's the art and science of biblical
31:32 interpretation that's that's that's what
31:34 it is that's the terminology for it all
31:36 the term is apply to other things too
31:37 that aren't related to the Bible
31:39 hermeneutics can reapply to a lot of
31:41 things but specifically in the world of
31:42 theology it's the art and science of
31:44 studying the Bible and there's rules for
31:45 interpretation in fact probably the most
31:48 the most important rule in the world is
31:51 context right context context context
31:52 context is king
31:56 this is what cults and and skeptics
31:57 often forget as I hear them try to quote
31:59 the Bible to attack the Bible and it's
32:02 like you you just think like did you
32:05 even read the passage like before quotas
32:07 like it's my job as a pastor I may even
32:09 teach a topical study right but I better
32:12 study verse by verse even to prepare for
32:14 a topical message you got a context as
32:16 king well there's a couple other rules
32:17 of hermeneutics that are pretty well
32:19 generally accepted and some may think
32:21 that what we're doing here violates
32:23 those rules so let's talk about those
32:26 one of those rules is authorial intent
32:29 what did the author intend when he wrote
32:32 this thing and the other is the original
32:34 audience the original audience what did
32:35 the original audience take this to me
32:37 because if you take it to mean something
32:39 the original audience didn't take it to mean
32:39 mean
32:41 then maybe you're making stuff up you
32:43 know that's the idea and these are
32:48 generally good rules to have sort of but
32:51 obviously I'm violating that
32:54 I mean I don't think that when Moses
32:56 wrote Genesis he was thinking to himself
32:58 this is a picture of Christ in the
33:00 church I don't think he understood that
33:03 much about Christ I think you understood
33:04 something but I don't think there's been
33:06 that much about Christ aware you could
33:09 know what was being written here so we
33:11 have to got the original author issue
33:12 there and then we have the original
33:14 audience there's no way the ancient
33:18 Israelites we're thinking like yes yes
33:20 the the Jewish and Gentile gathered
33:23 together in in in Messiah are are what
33:26 are pictured here with Adam and Eve and
33:27 he's being put to sleep and that
33:28 represents the death of Messiah and how
33:31 he comes back you know this is like not
33:32 probably what they would get out of the
33:35 text so how can i how can I justify what
33:36 I'm doing without violating rules of
33:39 hermeneutics well I think it's easy but
33:41 I think we have to talk about it because
33:44 this is the this is the techie stuff the
33:47 the technical side of this you know
33:50 typology stuff so when it comes to
33:51 authorial intent we'll talk about that
33:52 first then I'll talk about the original
33:56 audience I fully agree that you you
33:58 cannot ask the text to me more than it
34:01 meant by the original author but if
34:03 you're gonna study the Bible you have to
34:05 acknowledge that the original author is
34:09 not just the human author God inspired
34:11 the text of Scripture and to think that
34:13 what God intends in the text has to be
34:16 limited by what the author humanly
34:20 understood is just silly I mean it's an
34:22 artificial limitation placed upon the
34:25 text if God's inspiring it then
34:27 obviously he has intents that go beyond
34:29 the knowledge of the original author all
34:30 the ways he wouldn't have to inspire
34:32 anything the author could just write
34:33 whatever they want there you go
34:35 the nature of inspiration is that there
34:37 seems to be more to the text then what
34:38 was necessarily known by the original
34:40 author but not only that we can we can
34:42 support this in Scripture so 2nd Timothy
34:45 3:16 is one of the classic passages
34:47 about the inspiration of the Bible it
34:50 says all Scripture is breathed out by
34:53 God and profitable for teaching for
34:55 reproof correction and training and
34:56 righteousness then it goes on but the
34:58 the important principle here is the
34:59 scriptures from God it's breathed out by
35:01 God then we have this passage in 2nd Peter
35:02 Peter
35:04 2nd Peter 1 20 and 21 this is another
35:06 probably less often quoted passage but
35:08 it really applies oddly enough this
35:10 passage is frequently miss a misapplied
35:14 I think so first Peter 1:20 it says
35:15 knowing this first of all that no
35:17 prophecy of Scripture comes from
35:20 someone's own interpretation for no
35:21 prophecy was ever produced by the will
35:24 of man but men spoke from God as they
35:26 were carried along by the Holy Spirit
35:30 what the main point of first Peter 1
35:32 second Peter sorry second Peter 1 20 and
35:34 21 the main point of this is to say that
35:38 the scripture is not limited nor is it
35:40 directed by the mere human understanding
35:44 of either the author or the reader it's
35:46 from God right it's from God it's not of
35:49 your private interpretation to limit our
35:52 understanding to the author or to limit
35:54 our understanding to the reader of a
35:56 particular moment and say that's all
35:58 there is to it is to violate what 2nd
36:00 Peter says it was never produced by the
36:02 will of men but men spoke from God as
36:03 they were carried along by the Holy
36:06 Spirit now let me give an example of
36:07 this in the Old Testament Daniel 12
36:09 we're actually read the entire chapter
36:11 of Daniel 12 so Daniel 12 13 verses
36:15 we'll read through here and this is I'll
36:16 give you the short summary so you know
36:17 what we're getting into this is where
36:19 Daniels like okay I've just had a lot of
36:21 like visions and stuff and all kinds of
36:23 stuff is happening and he's going what
36:27 does this mean and I like how the
36:29 response he gets helps us answer our
36:32 question can the text mean more than it
36:34 meant to the original guy that wrote it
36:39 down so here Daniel 12 verse 1 it says
36:40 and I won't get into explaining the
36:42 prophecy here I'll because I'm we're
36:44 looking at how its interpreted is the
36:46 question at the time at that time shall
36:48 arise Michael the Great Prince who has
36:50 charge of your people and there shall be
36:53 a time of trouble such as has never such
36:55 as never has been since there was a
36:57 nation till that time but at that time
36:59 your people shall be delivered everyone
37:01 whose name shall be found written in the
37:04 book and many of those who sleep in the
37:05 dust of the earth shall awake some to
37:07 everlasting life and some to shame and
37:08 everlasting contempt and those who are
37:10 wise shall shine like the brightness of
37:13 the sky above and those who turn and
37:14 those who turn many to righteousness
37:16 like the Stars forever and ever
37:18 but you Daniel
37:21 shut up the words and seal the book
37:24 until the time of the end many shall run
37:26 to and fro and knowledge shall increase
37:29 things will make more sense then then I
37:31 Daniel looked and behold two others
37:32 stood one on this bank of the stream and
37:35 one on that Bank of the stream and
37:39 someone said to the man clothed in linen
37:41 who is above the waters of the stream
37:43 how long shall I beat till the end of
37:44 these wonders and I heard the man
37:46 clothed in linen who was above the
37:47 waters of the stream he raised his right
37:49 hand and his left hand toward heaven and
37:51 swore by him who lives forever that it
37:54 would be for a time and times time times
37:57 and half a time and that when the
37:59 shattering of the power of the holy
38:01 people comes to an end all these things
38:04 would be finished now verse 8 after you
38:06 like Daniel you probably feel like he
38:08 does in verse 8 he says I heard but I
38:11 did not understand it perhaps you feel
38:12 that way if you haven't study this
38:15 passage carefully then I said o my lord
38:17 what shall be the outcome of these
38:20 things he said go your way Daniel for
38:22 the words are shut up and sealed until
38:24 the time of the end implying that the
38:26 phrase shut up and sealed means you
38:28 don't understand it it's for a future
38:30 generation they'll get it Daniel it
38:34 doesn't apply to you interesting huh so
38:36 go your way their doors are shut up and
38:37 sealed for the time until the time of
38:39 the end many shall purify themselves and
38:41 make themselves white and be refined but
38:42 the wicked shall act wickedly and none
38:44 of the wicked shall understand but those
38:46 who are wise shall future tents
38:49 understand and from that and from the
38:51 time that the regular burnt offering is
38:52 taken away and the abomination that
38:54 makes desolate is set up there shall be
38:57 1290 days blessed is he who waits and
39:02 arrives at the 1,335 days but go your
39:05 way till the end and you shall rest and
39:07 shall stand in your allotted place at
39:08 the end of the days now Jesus when he
39:10 was on the earth he actually referenced
39:12 this abomination of desolation as a
39:14 future event while he was walking there
39:16 he's like yes well when you see that and
39:17 then you have run out of Jerusalem it's
39:20 things are coming so this is like this
39:22 this time where Daniels the author he's
39:23 writing the text and he goes I don't
39:26 know what it means and it's not even for
39:29 me I'm the author but because God is the
39:32 ultimate inspirer of the text I'm just
39:33 gonna write what he tells me to write
39:35 and we'll see what happens I'm the
39:37 original audience is not intended to
39:39 understand his text either they're
39:41 intended to carry it forward for a
39:43 future generation because they'll need
39:46 it when the time comes so if we're to
39:50 artificially say that we can only ask
39:51 Daniel 12 to mean what it meant to
39:54 Daniel and we can only allow it to be
39:56 interpreted in ways it was understood by
39:58 the original audience who first heard it
39:59 we're actually violating Daniel 12
40:01 because it implies that neither of those
40:02 things are true
40:04 he didn't understand it they didn't
40:09 understand it so when I say you know
40:10 there's a type of Christ in the Old
40:12 Testament that perhaps Moses wouldn't
40:13 have understood this is entirely
40:15 consistent with biblical hermeneutics
40:17 with resetting the text of Scripture God
40:20 inspired it and he had intended from the
40:23 beginning for it to have meanings that
40:26 might be unfolded later so then there's
40:29 the idea of the original audience the
40:31 original audience is important and the
40:36 original audience should should interest
40:38 us I do care what its what it meant to
40:40 the original audience but I'm not going
40:42 to limit it as though that's all there
40:44 is and so that that's the task of
40:47 hermeneutics I do ask what did it mean
40:48 to the original audience but I do not
40:51 say that's all it could ever mean for
40:53 all time because God intended it to be
40:55 written for more than the original
40:59 audience because of his inspiration so
41:00 let me give an example this in Galatians
41:03 three eight in Galatians three eight it
41:07 says and the scripture foreseeing that
41:09 God would justify the Gentiles by faith
41:11 preached the gospel beforehand to
41:14 Abraham saying in you shall all the
41:18 nations be blessed so the scripture for
41:22 saw something the scripture foreseeing
41:24 that God would justify the Gentiles by
41:26 faith did what preach the gospel to
41:28 Abraham and what what phrase is this
41:30 that preached the God the Abraham heard
41:32 the gospel when God says Abraham and you
41:33 all the nations of the earth will be blessed
41:34 blessed
41:37 now did Abraham go that is clearly the
41:39 Gospel message of salvation by faith
41:40 alone through Christ
41:42 that will be available to all the world
41:45 or did Abraham just have like a piece of
41:47 that and the rest of it made more sense
41:49 as the story continued to unfold yeah he
41:51 just had a piece of it and it made more
41:53 sense and he had faith and he was saved
41:54 by faith but he didn't have the whole
41:59 message yet so it's about us seen what
42:01 God has put there to find it's not about
42:04 us finding something for me that's not
42:05 even part of the original intent
42:08 I can't just open the Bible and find
42:11 special secret messages for me that God
42:13 never intended in the first place and
42:17 call that Bible study what we're doing
42:18 as we do this typology thing is we're
42:21 saying I'm not creatively finding Jesus
42:23 no I'm discovering what God has planted
42:25 there all along and intended for me to
42:28 find all along and that's consistent
42:30 with the teaching of Jesus as well so
42:32 it's not something new this is not new
42:35 theology so to speak this is discovering
42:37 the original intent of the author who
42:38 inspired the real inspirer of the
42:40 Scriptures and that's what makes it so
42:42 exciting because we stand from the
42:44 perspective of the book of Revelation
42:46 looking back we stand with the full
42:49 revelation of God's Word we stand with
42:51 clear indications here's a type here's a
42:53 type here's a type here's principle as
42:54 you can learn for looking at types and
42:56 pictures of Christ so we have more to
42:59 discover in the Old Testament today then
43:03 Daniel did than Moses did we have more
43:05 to discover today than the prophets who
43:09 wrote the text it's a it's a book where
43:11 what Allah as a Corinthian says that the
43:14 veil is taken away in Christ and you go
43:18 oh like I see it I see it first Peter
43:19 well does the last verse we'll do
43:22 tonight first Peter chapter 1 verses 10
43:23 through 12 this is this talked about the
43:26 same concept and now that we're we're in
43:28 the mode of thinking of types and
43:29 typology needs and pictures of Christ
43:32 this will probably make more sense to
43:34 you than if you just read it without
43:35 considering those things so first Peter
43:38 chapter 1 verse 10 it says concerning
43:41 this salvation the prophets who
43:43 prophesied about the grace that was to
43:46 be yours searched and inquired carefully
43:49 inquiring what person or time the Spirit
43:52 of Christ in them was indicating when he
43:54 predicted the sufferings of Christ and
43:56 the subsequent glories but that's almost
43:58 a tongue twister that are really
43:59 thoughtful passage or thoughtful
44:02 sentence if I can give a quick summary
44:03 of it right it's like here's the profits
44:05 they're writing things down going I
44:09 wonder what this means what I mean I'm
44:10 writing about the same Isaiah I'm
44:11 writing about the sufferings of the
44:13 Messiah and I'm going I know this is the
44:15 Lord telling me to write this but I
44:17 wonder how this will play out what will
44:19 this look like what will this what will it
44:20 it
44:22 how much clarity will I have after the
44:23 fact is the idea then in verse 12 it
44:26 says it was revealed to them that they
44:30 were serving not themselves but you wait
44:33 what the original author was writing
44:35 something that was four generations
44:37 later it was revealed to them they were
44:39 not serving themselves but you in the
44:40 things that have now been announced to
44:42 you through those who preach the good
44:44 news to you by the Holy Spirit sent from
44:48 heaven things into which angels long to
44:52 look that it was a mystery revealed but
44:56 the point is revealed so this is very
44:57 much as we study the Old Testament from
44:59 the perspective of Christ it's like
45:02 you've got a movie where there's all
45:06 these little careful plots given through
45:07 it you know pieces of the plot given
45:09 throughout the film but not revealed of
45:10 what you what they mean isn't revealed
45:12 until the end of the movie and you have
45:13 those movies you have to watch twice
45:15 because the first time you were
45:17 completely confused right and the second
45:20 time was like oh oh oh that's the Bible
45:23 right it's after you see the revelation
45:25 of Christ you go back to the scriptures
45:28 and you go oh oh I get it
45:30 Wow and all we looked at really today
45:33 was just a person who represented Christ
45:35 Adam as the figurehead that represented
45:37 Jesus and his relationship with ee-vie
45:39 presenting Christ in the church there's
45:41 so many other things we'll look at as we
45:42 continue we'll look at not only other
45:44 people who represent Christ some that
45:46 were clearly indicated like David and
45:48 guys like that but also some that aren't
45:50 like Jephthah I think Jeff though is one
45:51 of the most interesting characters in
45:52 the book of Judges that is a picture of
45:54 Christ even though it's not clearly
45:56 indicated in the New Testament that he
45:58 is I think it's I think it's obvious as
45:59 you read the text
46:01 I think Solomon is a picture of Christ
46:03 personally and we'll get into and I'll
46:04 try to justify that to you and feel free
46:06 to disagree and that's I think that's
46:08 okay we should be able to kind of
46:09 wrestle with this and think it through
46:11 but we'll also look at things that aren't
46:12 aren't
46:13 people but that are pictures of Christ
46:16 like the temple itself like the bronze
46:18 serpent whom Jesus identified as
46:21 representing Christ so there's there's
46:24 there's people there's things and
46:27 there's also events like the feasts of
46:30 Israel the Passover which Jesus
46:33 identified as representing Christ Christ
46:37 is our Passover Hebrews says so the oh
46:39 the light bulb just keeps getting
46:40 brighter and brighter as we go through
46:42 the Scriptures doing this so um I'm
46:43 excited about it I hope that this is a
46:45 good method of doing it what will
46:46 continue to over the next several weeks
46:49 is I'll I'll bring one or more types of
46:50 Christ and then we'll try to draw
46:52 principles out of that so we're kind of
46:54 putting in our we're learning the rules
46:56 as we go and we're putting into our into
46:58 our thinkers these principles that will
47:01 allow us to have more Oh moments as we
47:03 read through the Old Testament so let's
47:06 pray father God we thank you so much for
47:11 your Holy Word to think that that what
47:12 we read a New Testament that that all of
47:15 creation in Colossians that was made not
47:17 only through Christ but for Christ it
47:19 was made for him and to apply this to
47:22 Adam like Adam was made for Christ not
47:24 only to know Jesus but to be a
47:27 representation of a comparison and
47:29 contrast of Jesus it just blows our
47:33 minds you have created the universe for
47:35 your glory in more ways than we probably
47:41 appreciate our actual lives the the flow
47:44 of history reveals Jesus it is his story
47:47 and it's exciting to learn these things
47:49 and to how the light bulb go on we pray
47:51 you'd give us great wisdom give us solid
47:53 principles that we could apply as we
47:54 read the Old Testament so that we would
47:57 faithfully find what you have always
