Video Summary
Summary
Core Theme
The central theme is the pervasive presence of Jesus foreshadowed throughout the Old Testament, demonstrating a unified divine narrative that is fully revealed in the New Testament. This "typology" or foreshadowing is not merely allegorical but an intended literary and theological structure designed to point to Christ.

okay there's a couple things I want I
want to try to share with you right off
the bat here and that's this that um
some people think that what I'm doing
right now is illegitimate in some sense
that the idea of finding Jesus in the
Old Testament is somehow wrong because
you're not just taking the meaning of
the text what it meant to the original
audience at the original time when they
originally heard it now I've kind of
already unpacked some reasons why
biblically we should be doing this
and why this is good hermeneutics this
is good Bible study but what we're gonna
do tonight to show you not just that
there are types in the Old Testament of
Jesus but to show you how many and how
pervasive and how many different kinds
of ways God foreshadows Jesus in the Old
Testament we're gonna do a survey of a
whole bunch of different New Testament
types not going to get into a bunch of a
detail with them it's more about
quantity over quality this time around
sometimes you know we have the phrase
you can't see the forest through the trees
trees
so you're they're examining one tree but
you don't step back and look at the
whole forest to realize how massive and
beautiful this thing is that's what
we're gonna do right now we're going to
zoom out and we're gonna look at how
massive and beautiful this thing is this
typology or foreshadowing of Christ in
the Old Testament because we need this
the road to emmaus experience right how
they said did not our hearts burn within
us when he opened the scriptures to us
remember they had the Bible all that
time they had the the Hebrew Bible that
whole time
and yet when Jesus after the fact took
them through the law the prophets the
writings and said see how it testifies
of me they felt like he'd opened it to
them all over again and so that's kind
of where we're going today so here's a
bunch of different types of different
degrees some stronger some weaker to see
Jesus in the Old Testament and we're
gonna start well I'll just mention a
couple I've already done can you guys
remember some we've already done Adam in
Christ we talked about that one
originally right we talked about the
bronze serpent how the bronze serpent
was represented representative of Jesus
we talked about several other ones but
we're gonna get into a bunch of new
fresh ones today so John 1:51 that's the FIR
FIR
when we're gonna look at mm-hmm and hear
Jesus himself he says and he said to him
truly truly I say to you you will see
heaven opened and the angels of God
ascending and descending on the Son of
man and you might be like what how is
that an Old Testament type Mike well you
got to remember who he's talking to he's
talking to the Jewish people right he's
talking to people who know their Old
Testament and in Genesis 28 verse 12 we
get the counterpart to what Jesus is
saying and he dreamed and behold there
was a ladder set up on the earth and the
top of it reached to heaven and behold
the angels of God were ascending and
descending on it
this is Jacob's Ladder Jacob he's
wrestling with God right he sees the
ladder that he's got these all these
different stories of him well this
according to Jesus is going to happen
but not not a ladder the son of man the
angels are ascending and descending on
well what would the ladder be the ladder
would be the access point between heaven
and earth and Jesus is saying that's me
I am the access point between heaven and
earth he is the door he is the Shepherd
right he is the way the truth and the
life you have to enter through him like
these are all kind of correlating things
so there's there's Jesus himself giving
this picture where he puts himself in
the place of the ladder from from the
story of Genesis 28 12 but let's move on
to another one because we're gonna move
pretty quick tonight because I want to
give you like I said quantity so Moses
Moses according the Bible also is a type
of Christ in Hebrews chapter 3 we read
about this he was 3:1 says therefore
holy brothers you who share in the
heavenly calling consider Jesus the
Apostle and high priest of our
confession notice we also have him as
the high priest so we have a connection
to the high priest in Jesus we've talked
about that before though who was
faithful to him who appointed him just
as Moses also was faithful in all God's
house for Jesus has been counted worthy
of more glory than Moses as much as much
more glory as the builder of the house
has more honor than the house itself now
you might say Mike
this is not a good example right because
okay Jesus was faithful just as Moses
was faithful but Jesus is better he gets
more glory just like the Builder he gets
more glory than the house so you might
say Mike this isn't a type or a
foreshadowing this is just a comparison
but I have to say because of the
significance of Jesus when we see
comparisons of Old Testament people to
Jesus we should recognize something God
had this planned out the whole time
that's what we've learned in fact that's
what we learned
day 1 in our study of Jesus in the Old
Testament is how this was like an
intentional purposeful deliberate thing
ok did not God know about Hebrews
chapter 3 when he had written Genesis
chapter 1 like it didn't didn't he know
about all of these things this was all
intended and orchestrated together it's
one big story it's not just a convenient
group of separate stories that happen to
do good for us right this is a there's a
meta-narrative that's the big phrase for it
it
big narrative that goes across the whole
thing also we have prophecy from the end
of Deuteronomy where Moses says that God
will raise up a prophet like unto Moses
for the people and this sort of hung on
the shoulders of the Jewish people
there'll be a prophet and he'll be like
Moses and him we must hear that we like
Moses and so Jesus ultimately is that
then we have another story from the Old
Testament the flood story did you know
that the flood stories related to Christ
in some way well this is in 1st Peter
chapter 3 there's another type now by
the way what you could do with this is
you could you could then go to Moses and
you could look at his life and go I
wonder if there's different ways in
which Moses was like Jesus other than
being faithful in his house I wonder
what else we might find there I think
that's a legitimate thing to do
and we will be doing that later on so
first Peter 3:20 it says because they
formerly did not obey when God's
patience waited in the days of Noah
while the ark was being prepared in
which a few that is eight persons were
brought safely through water baptism
which corresponds to this now saves you
not as a removal of dirt from the body
ie water baptism is not what saves you
it's what an appeal to God for a good
conscience through the resurrection of
Jesus Christ
it's that thing baptism represents of
course that's I have a whole debate on
that online you could look up my baptism
debate if you want but but here we have
the course the correspondence between
the flood the ark and then how they were
saved through the flood and how now
we're saved through this thing that
represents the death and resurrection of
Jesus so I find a correspondence between
the flood story and salvation through
Jesus represented modern times in
Baptism I think that's really
interesting I wonder what else might
there be in the flood story if I read it
thoughtfully and carefully now examining
it form or typology of Christ based upon
the fact that the New Testament seems to
indicate it's there but there's more
there's just like two more so manna from
heaven in John 632 you what we all know
the story about the manna right how this
mysterious stuff was just settling down
from the Lord that they would come and
gather it and eat it and God provided
for them for 40 years with this manna
they called it manna because manna means
what is it what is it I don't know what
it is right
so John 632 then jesus said to them
truly truly I say to you it was not
Moses who gave you the bread from heaven
but my father gives notice Moses pass sense
sense
it was not Moses who gave past-tense the
bread from heaven but my father gives
you the true bread from heaven Jesus
says that he's the bread Jesus is the
bread but he doesn't just say hey I'm
the bread of life he court he makes a
correspondence between him and the manna
and he references himself as being the
greater thing and that's something else
we learned from the type's right that
that the type is usually lesser and
Jesus is greater expect when you find a
type of Christ in the Old Testament or a
foreshadowing expect it to fall short of
Jesus that's normal that's expected and
it's intentional because God wants us to
see that Jesus is greater than these
things and so Jesus is the true manna
not just a passing correspondence right
so in order of appearance manna first
Jesus second right in time the
timeline of history man that came first
Jesus came second but in order of
importance Jesus first man a second
that's the point here in order of
importance its Christ that comes first
and the book of Hebrews really really
strikes this anvil like over and over
again that Christ is better Christ is
better Christ is better it takes an Old
Testament reality and says Jesus is
better now at this point I want to pause
for a second when it comes to
interpreting the Bible I interpret the
Bible you guys know right we're a verse
by verse people like we like man give it
to me
in the text in context show me how you
got that interpretation like this is I
love that it excites me to be super
faithful to the text of Scripture but
here's where someone will say well Mike
you're no longer taking these Old
Testament passages just literally you're
looking at them literally and that might
bother them because then they think oh
you're just you're reducing the Old
Testament - allegory but there's a
difference between this and how say a
liberal would do it I don't mean liberal
like Democrats here I'm talking about
theology right a theological liberal
they will reduce the Old Testament -
allegory or to a literary work where the
where the original meaning no longer
matters whereas faithful biblical
Christians we should say we take it in
its literal sense and in its literary
sense like we don't use one to discount
the other we realize that God is giving
us a complicated and beautiful literary
work in the Bible so there really was
manna God really provided for the people
of Israel this was a miraculous work of
God giving food to his people and he had
he intended it to foreshadow Christ it's
both of those realities and so for
anybody who's like they're like going to
wait are you moving away from a simple
plain interpretation of the text I'm
saying no I'm using the text to give me
this fuller understanding of it that we
get through Jesus having the scriptures
open to us as they said on the road to Emmaus
Emmaus
so there's a danger is when the literary
understandings are used to ignore the
literal plain meaning of the text but
there's another danger when we think and
this I've seen a lot when we think that
we protect people by not allowing them
to see the symbolism by not allowing
them to see the literary allegorical
type elements that are in the text you
don't protect people like this you rob
from them the meaning of the scriptures
I think so I remember reading in the
hermeneutics book I told you this before
right when I was in my sits the school
of ministry in the hermeneutics book you
know the art and science of studying the
Bible that that's that's what
hermeneutics is so it's like how to
study the Bible well but they had this
section on typology and they say you can
only call it a type if it's clearly
identified in the text as a type I have
a problem with this because you think
you're protecting me from coming up with
my own wild crazy theories about the
Bible except that doesn't come from the
scripture you're strangling the
scriptures from being able to cap the
it's full meaning for instance in
Genesis 22 we read about Abraham
sacrificing Isaac how can you argue that
this is not a type of Christ yet is the
new tenth does the New Testament
identify it as a type No so this
hermeneutic would say I can't call that
a type and I would say you're just wrong
there is a literary work that's going on
here that's meant to reveal Jesus and so
this is a good thing and I think that as
I think a lot of pastors in modern times
either dabble recklessly in typology or
they avoid it entirely but very few
teachers thoughtfully and seriously
undergo a study of typology of Jesus in
the Old Testament and that's why I'm
excited to do this because I know that
even these videos get out to two
different pastors and leaders and I'm
hoping that they can take these things
and put them in your own messages man
don't give me credit I don't care like
just like I do I really get the credit
like it's in the text of Scripture
that's the whole point let's just take
all we can out of God's Word so so there
is a New Testament precedence for this
sort of thing when Jesus takes the manna
and relates it to himself all right just
one more the rock the rock in 1st
Corinthians 10:4
10:4 it says an all drink the same
spiritual drink speaking about the
Israelites wandering the wilderness they
all drank the same spiritual drink for
they drank from the spiritual rock that
followed them and the rock was Christ
well what is this talking about okay so
they're wandering through the wilderness
and at one point multiple points right
there either starving or they're
dehydrated they're out of water and
there's a lot of them and they're like
we're gonna die
Moses you brought us out here to die God
brought us out here to kill us it's not
the best attitude to have when you're
suffering but that's what they did and
so Moses he strikes a rock this happens
at ref Adam Exodus 17 6 he says behold I
will stand before you on there on the
rock at Horeb and you shall strike the
rock this is actually what God tells
Moses and water shall come out of it and
the people will drink and Moses did so
in the sight of the elders of Israel so
they're in one location he strikes the
rock and there's water gushing out of it
and he you know gives the people all
these all this fresh water and then
later on at Kadesh and numbers 2011 it
happens again a different location right
and Moses strikes the rock again it says
and Moses lifted up his hand and struck
the rock with his staff twice and water
came out abundantly and the congregation
drank and their livestock and so there
was there was plenty of water now what's
interesting sidenote right many of you
know where I'm going already with this
right Moses got in trouble for this the
second time he struck the rock well God
actually specifically if you read the
passage in context he told Moses the
first time strike the rock the second
time he says speak to the rock really
interesting but Moses is mad he's mad at
the people because they're a bunch of
poop faces I mean they are read the text
like they're really I mean they're
really horrible individuals to lead you
guys are so much better than the
Israelites so he strikes the rock maybe
out of anger wrath and gods like you did
not honor me you didn't glorify me when
you did that and you're like and then
God tells him you do not get to enter
the Promised Land that's how big of a
deal this is Moses you do not get to
enter the Promised Land because you
struck that rock and didn't Hollow me or
make me holy in the eyes of the Israelites
Israelites
why was it such a big deal and then we
get to the New Testament remember how
Jesus turns the question marks into
exclamation points the question mark why
Moses was the robbed from the promised
land cuz he struck the rock twice well
because the rock represents Christ and
Jesus was struck once after that you
just speak to him I just need you Jesus
you died for me one time once and for
all and I just need to come to you and
speak to you for that water that living water
water
so first Corinthians make sense of this
and this is not my fabrication these are
all in the text of the New Testament so
the question then is why does first
Corinthians say that rock followed them
the rock followed them how interesting
the rock followed them well it also
calls it a spiritual Rock they drink the
same spiritual drink from this spiritual
rock it could be that he's saying the
rock itself was spiritual and it was the
same rock that somehow appeared in two
locations or he could be saying I'm
spiritualizing the text I'm showing you
the spiritual thing God's communicating
through the text so spiritually the
water represents Jesus spiritually the
rock represents Christ so this is
typological language calling it
spiritually that is another possibility
so some of you guys you are still not in
alignment with my correct opinion about
Melchizedek maybe alright but I think
obviously I think I'm reverie buddy
thinks they're right because if they
think they're wrong then they change
their opinion and then they think
they're writing it so of course do you
think you're right but but Melchizedek
you say well it says like it's basically
says he was Jesus in the text like how
does this but look at this here it says
that rock was Christ first corinthians
10:4 that rock was Christ what was the
rock literally Christ is that a theophany
theophany
no I think it's a metaphor I think and
that's this is the terminology of
metaphors metaphors when you say just
something something is something but you
don't mean literally you mean it
metaphorically and that's I believe it's
okay for the text to speak that way and
that's why I can speak that way about no
kiss attack as well so now you agree
with me
probably not okay Jonah let's look at
one more last one Jonah in Matthew 12
verse 39 but he answered them Jesus
speaking an evil and adulterous
generation seeks for a sign but no sign
will be given to it except the sign of
the prophet Jonah for just as Jonah was
three days and three nights in the belly
of the great fish so will the Son of Man
be three days and three nights in the
heart of the earth now in the Old
Testament Jonah is not identified as
representing Jesus in any way in any way
shape or form there's and there's
nothing obvious about it either and here
we come to again we're looking at the
full understanding of the text of Scripture
Scripture
I'm not saying Jonah was an obvious
prophecy I'm saying Jonah was a
deliberate story meant to communicate
something about Jesus so the New
Testament reveals Jonah is this Jesus is
not pulling things out of the air here
he's not looking at the Old Testament
going how can I find stuff about me in
there this was all intended from the
beginning when you're writing a book or
a series of books and you have the whole
story planned out ahead of time you
embed all sorts of stuff in the first
book that you intend to use later on it
didn't mean much in the first book but
later on boy it has deep meaning look at
the Lord of the Rings story right in the
original Hobbit story we read about
Bilbo Baggins and how he stumbles upon
this magical ring that turns him
invisible yet later on the and then the
Rings mysterious and it's got Gandalf's
interest yeah I'm a nerd I get it and
and this story ends you know he wears it
nothing really big happens with the ring
you know there's a little warning from
Gandalf and powerful rings or not to be
you know meddled with Bilbo and then the
next story comes along and all of a
sudden that ring is the entire focus of
the three book trilogy the Lord of the
Rings it was just in but now it was not
obvious originally but it was used by
the author to tie the stories together
to have a big epic adventure type story
going on and more so God does this but
this is normal in works of literature to
do this sort of thing and so
does this with the story of Jonah three
days and three nights now here's
something interesting here's how we can
do typology I go wow look Jesus relates
himself to Jonah and he specifically
rate relates the time Jonah was inside
this fish for three days and nights to
his time in the two in the tomb his
death and resurrection I wonder what
would happen if I went to the story of
Jonah and just read what Jonah said
about his time inside that fish well
let's go there
that's Jonah chapter two because I think
Jesus is inviting us to follow his lead
in Jonah chapter two we read this in
verse one it's a short book in the Old
Testament so it's hard to find all you
can find is psalms in Ezekiel so good
luck so Jonah - when it says then Jonah
prayed to the Lord his God from the
belly of the fish and I'm gonna I'm
gonna read this to you but I'm gonna
offer you some typological and
understanding of it as well at least
that I think is there saying I called
out to the Lord out of my distress and
he answered me out of the belly of she
ole I cried and you heard my voice now
now Sheol is a term either used for the
grave or the place where people go when
they die it's used for multiple things
right here Awards actually the Hebrew
vocabulary back then was a lot smaller
and so they would use one word for lots
of different meanings that's just what
they would do so the word Sheol ments
either the grave or it means the place
where you like the physical grave or the
place wherever you go when you die but
it's never used to refer to a fish but
it's interesting that he metaphorically
calls himself in the belly of not a fish
but she'll the grave and Jesus says he
was in the belly of the fish the son of
the man will be in the heart of the
earth well really that relates I think
to the death of Jesus Christ and his
burial so I cried and you heard my voice
for you cast me into the deep into the
heart of the Seas and the floods
surrounded me all your ways and your
billows passed over me now in the Bible
floods and waves and billows are seen as
as judgment and tribulation and
hardships of life but we know that Psalm
where he says like deep calls unto deep
and we hear
quoted in the song and we're acting like
it's the deep of my heart that calls out
to the deep of the Lord actually it's
it's it's like one trial and life calls
out to another trial in life that's the
actual meaning of the song I'm sorry for
ruining your worship songs but that's
what it means and it's hit the deep
calling out to deepen the psalm there is
actually talking about weight billows
and waterfalls and terrible things
happening to it's the idea and so jesus
suffers he goes down to sheet to Sheol
he goes to the grave and he suffers what
the judgment and the wrath for my sins
verse 4 then i said i am driven away
from your sight yet i shall again look
upon your holy temple could not jesus
have said this my god my god why have
you forsaken me yet he knew that he
would once again look upon and it says
your holy temple well we are the temple
of the holy spirit now and jesus died in
order to make us that temple so he will
again it was for the joy set before him
he endured the cross despising the shame
I think this is kind of interesting the
waters closed in over me to take my life
the deep surrounded me weeds were
wrapped about my head at the roots of
the mountains I went down to the land
whose bars closed upon me forever yet
you brought of my life from the pit Oh
Lord my god and that phrase the pit is
very regularly used in Scripture to talk
about death talk about death a lot of
people think Jonah actually died inside
the fish because of this prayer it
sounds like he's saying I died and you
brought me back so you might so for
those who were like how could he survive
inside the fish well maybe he didn't
it's possible he didn't I'm either way
God's obviously doing a miracle through
this thing then in verse 7 when my life
was fainting away I remembered the Lord
and my prayer came to you into your holy
temple those who pay regard to vain
idols forsake their hope of steadfast
love but I with the voice of
Thanksgiving will sacrifice to you what
I have vowed I will pay salvation
belongs to the Lord
I can't help but think of Jesus in the
Garden of Gethsemane weeping great drops
or sweating great drops of blood and
he's like if there's any other way yet
nevertheless let your will be done he's
gonna vow we're gonna pay what he's
vowed what he's committed to come and
he's gonna pay it he's gonna sacrifice
himself it's so interesting that he's
like there's a sacrifice I mean why is
why is Jonah talking about a sacrifice
he's been eaten by a fish for not going
and speaking God's Word to the Ninevites
and he speaks here at the end of of
paying what he's vowed and a sacrifice
and I think that this is you could
almost have the entire prayer of Jonah
in the mouth of Jesus relating to the
cross and his death and resurrection I
think that's pretty cool
I think that's pretty cool and I didn't
just make it up because Jesus is the one
that kind of pointed us over there with
his own words in Matthew 12 39 and 40
okay one more the cornerstone last one
first Peter chapter 2 verses 7 and 8
Jesus is called the cornerstone and I
have to say this one gets me very
excited and I'm not gonna impact the
entire thing because again we're going
for quantity over quality today first
Peter chapter 2 7 it says so the honor
is for you who believe but for those who
do not believe for those who do not
believe the stone that the builders
rejected has become the cornerstone and
a stone of stumbling in a rock of
offense and these are quotes because
their quotes of the Old Testament they
stumble because they disobey the word as
they were destined to now this is
actually from psalm 118 which is a very
messianic type psalm and I'll show you
why in a second but let me pause to
point something out sometimes when
you're looking at some of the some of
the verses people say our prophecy about
Christ you look at it and you go that
isn't clearly obviously about Jesus
whereas some of it is there is plenty
that is clearly obviously but some of it
you're like I don't know if I would use
that when trying to convince someone
that Jesus is the Old Testament Messiah
and I agree I wouldn't use this to
convince somebody I would use this to
help Christians appreciate what God has
done in the scriptures I would go to
Isaiah 53 I would go to Psalm 22 I would
go to Daniel 9 I would go to the
passages I've done in my evidence for
the Bible series I would go to those to
convince you that Jesus is the Messiah
but once you've locked that in you can
then go to the rest and you can do what
we're doing today so when you hear him
quote that he's the stone that the
builders rejected and he's the chief
Cornerstone and if it what's in your
mind is every verse has to prove the
Bible true well then you've really
limited the text of scripture because
it's only allowed to do one thing for
you you can't appreciate what God's
written because your doubt has caused
you to not be able to just read the text
everything has to prove everything right
you have to prove every fact of
Scripture okay all right so you've
proven that the that the Bible was
really written that way but can you can
you prove there was a mountain right
there in that exact spot at that time
and everything has to be proved every
five seconds have you guys experienced
this before it's crippling doubt and
it's irrational now it's doubt and to
the point where you're not able to let
people finish this sentence without
interrupting them to telling them to
tell them about everything that's wrong
with the way they put the comma in the
wrong place verbally I don't if that's possible
possible
okay so psalm 118 back to the stone that
the builders rejected this is what first
Peter is talking about psalm 118 and
verse 22 this is the verse that's quoted
the stone that the builders rejected has
become the cornerstone this is the
Lord's doing it as marvelous in our eyes
this is the day the Lord has made let us
rejoice and be glad in it
this statement about the stone that the
builders rejected the builders of course
are probably talking about the builders
of the temple and the story that psalm
118 is seeming to communicate is this
this old traditional story that that
when they were building now they
wouldn't have the sound of tools and in
Solomon's Temple in the area where they
were constructing it so they would do
the quarrying over here then they would
bring the stones up later and so they'd
send up the stones
well the cornerstones gonna look
different than the rest but it's an
important chief stone you know this is
important stone in the building
construction of the temple so the
builders get this stone that looks
different from the rest and they get it
too early in the building time and they
go what is this we don't know what this
is so they roll it downhill I just we
reject it just toss it downhill later on
when they're finishing the temple as
that story goes
they say send word to the quarry we need
the Chiefs cornerstone and the core he
goes yeah we sent that up to you like
forever ago man
like you already had it what'd you do to
it and they look down the hill and they
go oh that stone we rejected that's the
chief Cornerstone and that's the text
here in psalm 118 22 and it's we
realized in first peter's about Jesus
that the stone rejected stone about the
temple ends up being Jesus he's the
chief Cornerstone he was what the whole
thing was about
he's what it was all leading up into it
was all about Jesus but the builders
rejected him the high priests the
Pharisees Sadducees the leadership of
the time including the Roman leadership
I mean he was rejected by many so this
is this is typology this is exciting but
if you go back to to psalm 118 and you
just keep reading we get to a passage
that you know you know this passage it's
all money between 25 it says save us or
save now or Hosanna that's the word
Hosanna we pray O Lord O Lord we pray
give us success blessed is he who comes
in the name of the Lord we bless you
from the house of the Lord the Lord is
God and he has made his light to shine
upon us pause for a second we got to
read the rest of that cuz it's kind of
neat right but Jesus shows up and he is
according to psalm 118 there is a stone
that will be rejected Jesus shows up he
enters into Jerusalem and weenie enters
in on Good Friday they are crying out or
some Palm Sunday they're crying out
Hosanna Hosanna saved now sin now
success they're crying out this exact
psalm and what happens the builders
reject him and then how does verse 27
end in psalm 118 bind the festal or the
the sacrifice the for the feast
sacrifice bind the festal sacrifice with
cords up to the horns of the altar we
have we have Palm Sunday and Good Friday
put together in this psalm 118 he is the
cornerstone he was sent to you you
rejected him and now he is put upon this
the altar the sacrifice and so he goes
to the cross this is amazing
I am just I've realized that many people
when they're confronted with the
interweaving beauty and majesty of the
text of scripture that they won't
comprehend it for whatever reason it
just doesn't land I don't know but it
lands with me and I hope it lands with
you I am blown away by the beauty and
majesty of the text of the scriptures
here I could sit and just study this one
Psalm all day and look at how it was
pictured and then fulfilled by Jesus Christ
Christ
now first Peter the other thing it
mentioned so mentions he's the
cornerstone the stone that was rejected
this passage that does not obviously
speak clearly about Messiah but is a is
it is a foreshadowing that then becomes
clear when Jesus shows up and then
Isaiah 8:14 is the other part the stone
of stumbling the rock of offense it says
and he will become a sanctuary and a
stone of a fence and a rock of stumbling
to both houses of Israel a trap at a
snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem
speaking altom utley about Christ blows
me away all right last one
David let's talk about David okay
there's like eight more all right David
Ezekiel 37 verse 24 says my servant
David shall be king over them and they
shall all have one Shepherd they shall
walk in my rules and be careful to obey
my statutes and you might be like and
I'm actually throwing this example out
there on purpose this is a less certain
example Ezekiel 37 24 this is the less
clear possible foreshadowing of Christ
why do I say that
okay Ezekiel 37 is written long after
David is dead and gone and we know that
in that the house of David and the son
of David is the Messiah who is to come
but a zekiel 37 simply refers to a
future righteous ruling King and just
calls him David the two options are that
in some future time
David resurrected and his resurrected
body actually rains and that's quite
possible maybe he will have some sort of
authority and rulership during maybe the
millennium or something like that and
the other option is that this is
actually just calling Jesus David
because he's the son of David because
he's inherits this sort of typology that
David started Jesus fulfills and that
may be the case that may be the case and
there's other supportive passages as
well I do think David is a type of
Christ and I'll hopefully we'll get into
that later on in the same series so then
we have the temple okay this is kind of
neat have you ever heard raise your hand
if you've heard a study where people go
through the the trappings in the design
of the temple the tabernacle and they
talk about how it relates to Christ have
you guys experienced that before we may
well do that in this series I think is
kind of a fun and neat thing to do and I
do think it relates but I think it has
an actual biblical basis and John
chapter 2 verse 18 I'll start here John
2:18 so the Jews said to him what sign
do you do you show us for doing these
things they asked Jesus for a sign and
jesus answered them here's the sign
right destroy this temple and in three
days I will raise it up now Jesus knew
how they were gonna take this statement
right destroy this temple he knows
they're gonna not understand him why on
earth does he say this temple well it
says the Jews then said it is taken us
46 years to build this temple and will
you raise it up in three days like you
can't build things that fast not even
like you know there was no 3d printers
back then verse 21 it says but he was
speaking about the temple of his body
when therefore he was raised from the
dead his disciples remembered that he'd
said this and they believed the
scripture and a word that Jesus had
spoken Jesus purposely and deliberately
confuses the identity of the temple and
himself and he says destroy this temple
in three days and I will destroy this
temple and in three days I will raise it
up interestingly enough this is it's
this phrase that really lends towards
him getting condemned later on it's as
though he gave them the the the ammo
they twisted his words they said Jesus
said he was going to destroy the temple
but that's obviously not what he said
and they knew it as well but they used
this to try to twist words to attack him
later on when he's in his trial with the
with the Jewish trials he went through
they used this and they twist it and
throw it back in his face hmm so that's
that's okay
just mark that down there's one time
where Jesus deliberately confuses the
identity between the temple and himself
and then the Bible the text calls it the
temple of his body interesting then in
John 1:14 we have this phrase and the
word became flesh and dwelt among us
dwell among us and we've seen his glory
glory as of the only son from the father
full of grace and truth
and that word dwelt is literally the
same word we use for tabernacled or the
tabernacle and so that some some
translations actually translate it that
way so the word became flesh and
tabernacled amongst us that's
interesting that that word is used there
very interesting then when we get to
Exodus 29 now this may not seem super
convincing to you but there's more
there's not just wait okay so Exodus
chapter 29 verse 43 it says there I will
meet with the people of Israel again God
speaking to his people and it shall be
sanctified by my glory and what's the
Very's talking about the temple right so
look at how God describes the temple it
sits where God will meet with his people
right it will be sanctified by his glory
I will consecrate the tent of meeting
and the altar Aaron also and his sons I
will consecrate to serve me as priests I
will dwell among the people of Israel
and will be their God and they shall
know that I am the Lord their God who
brought them out of the land of Egypt
that I might dwell among them I am the
Lord their God remember when Moses came
to God and God says I'm not going down
to you if I go in your midst I will
destroy you because I'm holy in your
wicked and so then they made the temple
the tabernacle this is like God can't
dwell with us but but this location will
be like a way that God can be in our
the tabernacle is the Old Testament God
with us that's what it is it's the Old
Testament God with us right that's
that's God's dwelling place right there
the tabernacle Jesus refers to his body
as the temple and then in John 1:14 it
says the word became flesh and
tabernacled dwelt amongst us and Jesus
was called Immanuel God with us I think
that these are all into deliberate and
intentional things and then we have
something even stronger confirmation of
this in Hebrews 10 verses 19 and 20
where it says therefore brothers since
we have confidence to enter the holy the
holy places by the blood of Jesus by the
new and living way that he opened for us
through the curtain that is through his
flesh and now now you remember when
Jesus the curtain or the veil were
entering the holy places the Holy of
Holies through the veil this is temple
language this is the tabernacle there
was this thick veil that separated that
everyone from that one location the Holy
of Holies and when Jesus died there was
a great earthquake and that veil tore
from top to bottom remember reading
about that and then Hebrews says now it
interprets this event for us right we
have boldness to enter we can come right
into God's presence no more separation
between man and God
because that veil was torn and that veil
is his flesh his body now I put all
these things together and I go there is
definitely a connection between Jesus
and the temple it's very clear it's very
plain in scriptures and I think that
it's okay to then go and look at the
temple and say I wonder what else might
be there I think I have a legitimate
biblical reason to do that which makes
Bible study very exciting to me and
Passover all right
Passover let's talk about Passover first
Corinthians 5:7 Jesus relates to
Passover it says cleanse out the old
leaven that you may be a new lump as you
really are unleavened for Christ our
Passover lamb has been sacrificed Christ
our Passover lamb he's a straight up
called the Passover the Passover lamb
he's been sacrificed for us and Passover
we know as a Jewish feast now think
about the scope for a second right we're
looking at the forest not just the trees
look at the variety of trees in this
forest we have people we have events we
have sort of riddle e phrases in the
book of psalms about like stone rejected
become the cornerstone we've got the
veil in the temple we have now feasts
the Passover that are all seen as types
and shadows of Christ what I'm saying is
this like there's in the scope of your
Old Testament do you realize how much
variety of what you have in your Old
Testament is being said to relate to
Jesus and this is all directly from the
New Testament teaching this isn't some
sort of creative Bible study technique
this is just what the text says so
Christ our Passover lamb has been
sacrificed and then in John 1:29 when
Jesus shows up this is kind of confirmed
even more because it says in John 1:29
the next day he this is John the
Baptizer he saw Jesus coming toward him
and said behold the lamb of God who
takes away the sin of the world that's
interesting you know how the shadows are
always lesser and Jesus is always
greater the Jewish mind would have known
immediately what the Lamb of God is
right this is either the Passover lamb
or some other lambs of the sacrifices of
the Old Testament except none of them
none of them ever made the claim that
they would take away the sin of the
world at most it would do something for
Israel as a whole not the world Jesus
comes and he takes away the sin of the
world because he's greater so again we
see that Old Testament types represent
but fall short of Jesus so as you're
looking for types in the Old Testament
again expect it to fall short that's
kind of the point
right to create the need and the desire
for Jesus Christ
but there's more so the sin offering is
also referencing a type of Jesus Christ
in Hebrews 13 he was 13 verses 11 and 12
we read this for the bodies of those
animals this is talking about the Old
Testament sacrifices the bodies of those
animals whose blood is brought into the
holy place
by the high priest as a sacrifice for
sin are burned outside the camp so Jesus
also suffered outside the gate in order
to sanctify the people through his own
blood this is talking about specific
kind of sacrifice there's different
sacrifices if you read Leviticus right
it's orders and different ways that
sacrifices are to be done and this is
neat to me talk about opening the Book
of Leviticus to you it's saying that the
particular way in which the sacrifices
were to take place pictured Christ and
and this was the day of atonement
sacrifice specifically the day of
atonement sacrifice the animal was
slaughtered the blood was taken just the
blood and it was brought all the way
into the Holy of Holies the only one
time of year when they could even enter
into the Holy of Holies and the blood
was offered there before the presence of
God on the mercy seat right but the
bodies they were burned outside the camp
super far away you can't even not even
burned at the brazen altar not even
burned in the normal location but for
this sacrifice the body's taken all the
way outside the camp and Hebrews tells
us in the same sense Jesus suffered
outside the gate in order to sanctify
the people through his own blood did you
know the cross was located on Golgotha
Rite was located at Calvary outside the
gates of Jerusalem so it's brought
outside the camp and so Jesus is related
to this now now does this mean after the
day of atonement has specific sacrifices
that relate to Jesus in the in the
particulars of how the sacrifice is to
be done the stuff that you have a hard
time reading in Leviticus what else
might there be in Leviticus in the
sacrifices that might relate to Christ
I mean don't tell me that only the day
of atonement can be that way because I
mean Passover is that way they have
atonements that way the veils that way
the temples that way right the Book of
Psalms they got random stuff in the Book
of Psalms it's that way I got I got
David I got Moses I got no one I got the
Ark and I got the flood and I got
goodness gracious how many types are
there and that's the point I want us to
see how big the forest is tonight
because I think it will spark your your
desire for more then the scripture goes
on and it talks about sacrifices not
just the day of atonement but
Hebrews 923 talks about just sacrifices
in general and how the general nature of
the Old Testament sacrifices was a
foreshadowing to reveal something about
Christ and how he was greater Hebrews 9
23 thus it was necessary for the copies
of the heavenly things this is speaking
Hebrews 9 speaks about like like these
two temples one is God's very presence
in heaven and then there's the earthly
tabernacle that represents God's
presence we realized that the even the
this is kind of neat stuff maybe even
the temple itself the tabernacle look at
the way it's designed on the inside it
had like like these heavenly beings sewn
into it heavenly stuff sewn into on the
outside it was very earthly it was meant
to say like you're entering sort of into
heaven as you come into this place and
the presence of God so it was meant to
represent like God's presence in heaven
but it was just a shadow of God's actual
presence in a sense a foreshadowing of
it and so that's where it talks about
these two different sort of temples or
Tabernacles or places so he was 9:23
thus it was necessary for the copies of
the heavenly things that would be the
earthly stuff the tabernacle to be
purified with these rites but the
heavenly things themselves with better
sacrifices than these so when they
originally commemorated the tabernacle
as well as the temple that made a bunch
of sacrifices Moses he like takes the
blood and he like gets blood and stuff
on everything everything sanctified by
blood the the thing is everything has to
be sanctified by the blood of Jesus
Christ this is how it works but because
these are just copies of the heavenly
things Hebrews says of course God's
ultimate sanctification is going to be
better than this so interesting there's
more there in Hebrews nine you're
welcome to read it for yourself it's
great stuff another thing about Jesus is
that these sacrifices were offered
repeatedly but Jesus was only offered
one time see how the they fall short
Jesus fulfills it in a greater sense
Hebrews 5 which we're not gonna read
tonight but it it compared Jesus to the
priests and the high priest as well the
priests plural as well as the high
priests and we went into that a little
bit previously so I won't get into it as
well so the priests the sacrifices
multiple different feast days
the temple the veil all this stuff
relates to Christ and then the Sabbath
here's another one in case you thought
we ran out this have we're not gonna run
out by the way where it's gonna run at
that time in Colossians 2:16 it talks
about how the Sabbath somehow relates to
Christ and more than that actually so
let's read it therefore let no one pass
judgment on you in questions of food and
drink or with regard to a festival or
new moon or a Sabbath these are a shadow
of things to come but the substance
belongs to Christ right the the
festivals or new moons this talk about
the feast days we already talked about
Day of Atonement and Passover they
related to Jesus I wonder how the others
might then we have this statement about
the Sabbath but but first let me just
point out real quick in verse 17 it says
these are a shadow this is one of those
words we actually use in typological
terminology so they're a shadow that's
why I keep using the phrase before
shadowing you know when I was I was
taking a walk last night and some of my
neighbors have those insanely bright
porch lights and a couple of them have
them not like in on their porch but
these insanely bright porch lights are
like sticking at that part of their
house that almost comes to the curb so
so as I'm walking by if those lights are
behind me I noticed that my shadow goes
way out in front of me that's a
foreshadow and so these four shadowed
Jesus their shadows of what the things
to come now if you know someone very
well you can recognize them by their
shadow and so we see Jesus his shadow in
all this stuff and then he shows up and
you go yep that was you we were seeing
in the shadow the whole time so this is
not my imagination this is God's
inspired text in verse 17 these are a
shadow of the things to come but the
substance not the shadow the substance
is a belongs to Christ or is of Christ
that's New King James already loaded in
the brain there so Hebrews 4 talks about
this as well we already heard the
sabbath somehow the substance of the
sabbath is jesus how is Jesus the
substance of the Sabbath in Hebrews 4 we
get a whole bunch of stuff in Hebrews 4
about the Sabbath rest
theme and how it's the Sabbath is
incomplete outside of Christ and we're
gonna read a bunch of Hebrews four so
we're in a certain verse one this is
there for while the promise of entering
his rest still stands let us fear lest
any of you should seem to have failed to
reach it
he was already given us this sort of
case in the Old Testament that God has
promised that you can still enter into
his rest that it's a future thing verse
two for good news came to us just as to
them but the message they heard did not
benefit them because they were not
united by faith with those who listened
for we who have believed enter that rest
as he has said as I swear on my wrath
they shall not enter my rest this is
Psalm 95 and it deserves me to go to
Psalm 95 and explain it all but I don't
have time
so homework for you I want to focus just
on how Jesus fulfills the Sabbath that's
the point at the moment so although his
works were finished from the foundation
of the world that is God six days he
created the heavens and the earth and
the seventh day he rested because he's
done not because he's tired he's done
he's resting verse four for he has
somewhere spoken of the seventh day in
this way and God rested on the seventh
day from all his works and again in this
passage he said they shall not enter my
rest that is Psalm 95 he tells the
people I'm resting but you are not
entering my rest there's some future
rest for you you guys didn't get it
but it still is available for us verse
six since therefore it remains for some
to enter it and those who formerly
received the good news failed to enter
because of disobedience again he
appoints a certain day today saying this
is all commentary on Psalm 85
saying through David so long afterward
in the words already quoted today if you
hear his voice do not harden your hearts
for if Joshua had given them rest God
would not have spoken of another day
later on he's kind of cutting off
someone who will misinterpret the Old
Testament well they entered rest when
they enter the promised land they
entered the rest of God
oh no no because many years later God
says that are not entering his rest and
there's a today there's a present
promise about entering his rest so how
do we enter his rest Old Testament
question mark New Testament exclamation
point in Jesus Christ so if Joshua given
them rest God would
of spoken of another day later on first
nine so then there remains a Sabbath
rest for the people of God for whoever's
entered God's rest has also rested from
his works as God did from his so this is
connecting the theme of this is kind of
neat stuff actually connecting the theme
of God's rest Genesis with the Sabbath
and with the promise of a future rest in
Psalm 95 and then verse 11 let us
therefore strive to enter that rest so
that no one may fall by the same sort of
disobedience Christ is the substance he
is the rest Christ is my Sabbath he is
my Sabbath rest I rest in him Jesus says
in Matthew 11:28 come to me all who
labor and are heavy laden and I will
give you rest yeah that's kind of neat
do you think Jesus was thinking about
Genesis and Psalm 95 he inspired it okay
of course he was thinking about all that
so let's look at Luke 424 I want to look
at this as one of our last passages for
tonight this is a really neat passage in
Luke 24 because here's where Jesus takes
a compilation of more than one event Old
Testament events and he adds them
together to show that they were
establishing like this repeated pattern
that was meant to teach you something
about Messiah this is kind of neat stuff
so so here now we have a new kind of
typology it's not this happened here
that represents Messiah this happened
here that represents Messiah
instead this one is this happened here
here here and that pattern became a
pattern which also happened with Jesus
as he came and stepped into the shadow
he had been casting Luke for 24 and he
said truly I say to you no prophet is
acceptable in his hometown but in truth
I tell you there were many widows and
see if you can Pharaoh why he's bringing
up these stories and why do they get mad
at him when he does there were many
widows in the Israel in the in Israel in
the days of Elijah when the heavens were
shut up three years and six months and a
great famine came over all the land and
Elijah was sent to none of them but only two
two
Aira faith in the land of Sidon to a
woman who was a widow now that is gonna
make them a little bit angry I'll
explain why in just a moment verse 27
and there were many lepers in Israel in
the time of the prophet Elijah and none
of them was cleansed but only naman the
Syrian when they heard these things and
all in the synagogue were filled with
wrath and they rose up and drove him out
of the town and brought him to the brow
of the hill on which their town was
built so that they could throw him down
the cliff but passing through their
midst he went his way why are they so
mad because the widow and Neyman are
Gentiles and he says there were lots of
widows in the days of Elijah repet God
sent him to a Gentile why did God send
Elijah to a Gentile woman there were
lots of lepers in the days of Elijah who
did many miracles but why is the only
leper he cleansed a Syrian a Gentile and
rather than think hmm maybe God was
telling us something they get angry and
they're their national pride rises up
they come against him Jesus is revealing
to us that there's a pattern here that
Elijah Elijah they're both consistent
with their received by the Gentiles but
not by Israel Jesus comes and who is he
received by right read the book of Acts
it actually carries the course of the
gospel going out to the Jews some of
them got saved praise God many of them
rejected and then we get these events
where Paul's like fine we're gonna go to
the Gentiles you're kicking us out of
the synagogue we'll go to the Gentiles
all right we have the parable of Jesus
who tells about yeah go into the
highways and byways and invite them all
to the wedding if these invited don't
want to come Jesus is revealing that
Elijah Elijah they're like a pattern now
that pattern actually gets bigger if you
look at other texts of Scripture David
there was a time when David already
anointed king of Israel but was rejected
by Saul and chased out by the armies of
Israel and he went into the hands and
into the lands of the Gentiles and he
was employed and embraced by them we
read about this with Moses Moses when he
we can also read this in the book of
Acts chapter 7 x7 is your homework if
you want more homework
and Stephens address and he says damn
Moses like he comes to the people and he
and he avenges one of his brothers who's
being beaten and by this Egyptian he
slays the Egyptian and in acts 7 he says
well Moses figured his people would
recognize right I'm here to deliver you
but instead they tattletale on him and
he has to flee and who is he received by
Jethro some other people outside some
Gentile outside in the liminal in the
land of Midian and there he becomes like
the Shepherd and he's received and he's
well and then later he comes back his
second coming he's received by the
Jewish people Joseph Joseph rejected by
his brothers sold into slavery received
by Pharaoh and the Gentiles and they're
raised up then finally second time
around he's received by his own family
and they're to deliver them and help
them there's a pattern here that Jesus
follows or I should say they are
patterned after Jesus they foreshadowed
him as he was coming this may bring a
new meaning to Jesus's statement in
Matthew 5:17 where he says do not think
that I've come to abolish the law or the
prophets I have not come to abolish them
but to fulfill them and we often think
of him fulfilling the law but we don't
realize he also fulfilled the prophets
and the statement law and prophets it
was been meant to encompass the
scriptures he's I I've come to fulfil at
all how much is there for us to still
learn how much is there for the
scriptures to be open to us as we learn
more and more about Christ whether it's
direct prophecy or thematic elements
that represent Jesus types and shadows
this does not again it does not replace
the simple meaning of the text but it's
to recognize that God has been doing
something all along that has finally
revealed in Jesus and were intended to
go back to the Old Testament with that
in mind we're intended to I hope that
this stirs your minds and imaginations
and well not so much your imagination as
your mind
we got to be careful and we want to find
what God has already placed in the text
we're not intending to fabricate things
and I think it's good rules for us to be
cautious you may find something you
really like it may or may not be
legitimate hold on to it loosely if
you're not so sure about it it's okay to
be like maybe this maybe that I'm not
sure but we are meant I believe to go to
the scriptures and view them through the
lens of the revelation of Christ I think
we're supposed to do that because the
New Testament does that and it seems to
me Jesus does that and and I I do think
I mean I don't know how long you've been
you've been a believer I've been a
believer for a couple years now and and
I'm and I'm kind of shocked is I think
I've heard I don't know how many
thousands of Bible says I love listening
to Bible studies I listen him all the
time and I'm like I don't remember ever
being taught very much about this
actually when I think about it and I'm
not here to criticize the teachers right
like oh it's all their fault for not you
know I mean I got a Bible I could do my
own study what I'm saying though is
maybe this is a somewhat neglected
section in our understanding of
Scripture and perhaps we're neglecting
something that is actually central to
the main message of the text when we
don't see Jesus throughout its pages
let's pray father God thank you for your
word thank you for Jesus Christ revealed
and we pray revealed more and more as we
study the text of scriptures we pray
Lord that you would light a fire in us
of passion to know your word better and
to see it more clearly and more truly we
pray for great insights as you see the
variety of ways in which the law and the
prophets they speak of him how Moses
wrote of him we want our hearts to burn
with hennas as you open the scriptures
to us so you pray for wisdom insight and
for us to discover not not fabricate but
to discover what you have always had
there for us in Jesus name Amen [Music]
