In “So Typical,” Mitch Case presents the basics of typology: type-antitype. The Old Testament contains many types that are often fulfilled in Christ or will be fulfilled in the closing stages of this present world.
Welcome to the subject of typology. The word “type” refers to an impression or shape of something. Christological types are Old Testament people, institutions, or events that are shaped by God in a certain way for the purpose of anticipating the person and work of the Messiah. Think of a type as a kind of outline that’s filled in later. Or think of it as a shadow that’s cast by christological light shining into the Old Testament era.
