Can I Really Justify Seeing Pictures of Jesus In The Old Testament?

- "Typology" is a fancy word for how God put intricate details about Jesus throughout the stories of the Old Testament. I'm not talking about prophecy here, although there is a relationship between typology and prophecy. I'm saying that Jesus is the main topic of the Bible so much that God shaped history and people's lives so that the Bible would become a beautiful literary tapestry that shows Jesus throughout it's pages. From the story of Joseph going from slavery and presumed death to the right hand of Pharaoh as a savior of many, to the feasts of Israel demonstrating the very nature and mission of Jesus to die for our sins.
In today's interview I will explain what "typology" is, give a number of examples of it and answer objections to it.
Thanks to Micah Gunn for having me on his podcast, Truth Be Told, to do this interview.

It clearly shows how DEEPLY integrated the Word is.
Which then shows' us that a being living OUTSIDE our timeline is the Author.
I love the use of the word author. He is creator of our story. He writes our story. Shows that though Jesus is the word and the Lord is the author

@@DQMaster777 huh?
@@DQMaster777 I just Googled it. Final Fantasy?? Is it from a video game?
This is why I find it strange when I hear anyone saying that we need to unhitch the New Testament from the Old Testament.
We need Genesis to the Book of Revelation.
Sometimes when a person claims the Bible is man-made, instead of jumping into apologetics I almost feel like it would be sufficient to say "you just can't make this stuff up". The more you read and the more in-depth you study the Bible, that much becomes clear.
Not only does it sound absurd to think that humans alone throughout millennia could collude to create this very cohesive historical document, they also invalidate every other historical document by saying such things as “it’s man made/written.” Yeah? well...so are your science, history, and literature books, what’s your point?
But it Is man-made. Its a fantasy-fiction book written and edited by a bunch of guys during the bronze age in the middle east for political reasons.
@@adriangeh6414 lolll okay. If you say so.
@@adriangeh6414 lmao, so go ahead and tell us how psalm 22 wasn’t written a thousand years before Jesus ever walked the earth. Go ahead and disprove that the Dead Sea scrolls proved that the Bible we have today is identical to what it was back then. Go ahead and disprove a whole number of things. Nice try bud.

I love seeing Jesus in the OT. Seeing him is what makes It exciting!
“For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me, for he wrote about Me.-John 5:46
Mike you have no idea what a blessing this is to me... as a young Christian I remember distinctly reading my Bible and suddenly the the Holy Spirit illuminated Joseph as a figure of Christ... I started to look at detail after detail and it was unmistakable. I shouted to my wife hey look at this and this and even remember where I was sitting specifically. I wasn't even aware that typology existed at that point. Within days I was listening to a sermon by Dr. Adrian Rogers and his sermon was Joseph a portrait of Jesus outlining the very verses God revealed unto me... I had missed that Joseph had a gentile bride. Later I found out about A.W. Pink and gleanings in Genesis as well.
Last I call myself Jeptha because he didn't get much respect from his brethren and yet when they had to fight they would call on him and I am by nature an apologist. That Jeptha is listed in the champions of the faith in Hebrews chapter 11 is encouraging to me.
I so agree about the coolness behind typology. I was so lucky kid I grew up with a mother who was very biblically literate and we attended a church that was very biblically found my mother taught children in every kind of teaching atmosphere you could imagine. I learned about the typology of the Tabernacle in intricate detail from the time I was in 4th grade. Just so proud of the legacy my mom left behind in her kids. She was weak in other parenting areas but she intelligently and patiently caught her children to know the deep things of God and to seek them out. As far as I'm concerned she was a complete success as a parent
There's a woman teaching Scripture, Amen!! That is such a wonderful thing to be brought up with the truth!
I think women teaching scripture to children doesn't have controversy about it. It is women teaching men that brings the debate
As a mom with a 7 and 2 year old, doing my best to raise my kids to know Christ, while having PLENTY of flaws of my own, thank you for acknowledging your momma. God bless you with a legacy your own in Christ as well. ❤
I don't understand why , but when I hear you explain the Bible it helps lower my anxiety.
When I did this Christology study of Jesus in the OT many years ago, it was both mind blowing and life changing. I had already been a Christian for 15 years before that and it now it’s been 15 years since that study. It’s one of my all time favorite study as well!!
Did you include Mary?
Winger addresses the difference between types if Mary and types of Christ starting at 7:15 to 9:03. He also has fuller videos on the subject with more thorough discussion on the topic.
Mike gave the film example of Sixth Sense to explain typology. One of my favorite examples is Book of Eli. It's sooo cool to not only see the many ways that every interaction wasn't what you originally think, but to understand what it is he is protecting.
When I read the story of Joseph forgiving his brothers I could relate to how they felt being a sinner forgiven and made compatible with God.
And Job debating with his friends reminds me of Jesus debating the Pharisees. I think these are obvious types.
I think it's possible to argue that John 4 makes the connection with Joseph as a type of Christ. There are three (admittedly slender) threads connecting John 4 with Joseph:
1. we're told that Sychar is "near to the land which Jacob gave to his son Joseph" (John 4:5)
2. Christ is called "a man who told me all things I had ever done" (John 4:29) - the Revealer of secrets
3. the Samaritans call Christ "the Savior of the world" (John 4:42)
#2 and #3 seem to be a reference to Genesis 41:45
There does also seem to be a connection between the woman of Sychar and Asenath. Asenath is mentioned three times by name, and each time we're reminded she was the daughter of the priest of On. It's like we're being reminded constantly, "don't forget this is an idolater!"
Don’t be too dismissive of the messages to be discovered within Genealogies. Names have meaning. God chose the richness of the Hebrew language for a reason.
I'm more interested in who people are and what groups they come from. For example, the Amalekites that attack Israel as they leave Egypt are descended from Lot's incestuous relationship with his daughter. If you aren't paying attention to the names, you might miss the fact that the Amalekites should have been friends to Israel since they shared a family history. I think God judges Amalek more harshly because of this.
Question- how do you begin to find out meanings and translations of these languages? I find it so difficult to figure this out. Any advice would be awesome
Yes! The Gospel in Genesis 5 I learned from Chuck Missler was fascinating
Thank you!:)
119 ministries as a good on one gen 5 as well recently. Other one is " Man appointed morrow sorrow and yet the Blessed God shall come down teaching 'his death' shall bring the disparing rest and comfort" ...Chuck Missler cosmic codes.
The work you’re doing is extremely valuable. I can not thank you enough!
I COMPLETELY agree with you! Jesus in the OT turned my life upside down, inside out! There is SO MUCH of Jesus ALL OVER SCRIPTURE!! At the age of 60 years old, finding shadows & types of Jesus ALL OVER SCRIPTURE is REALLY EXCITING & really opens my eyes to The Word! Thank you for your contributions!!!
As a messianic believer, I love all the parallels / similarities between the Feasts of YHVH and Christ.
Also, Shana Tova! (it's Feast of Trumpets / Yom Teruah today)
Shana Tova!
Why are people like you always jew first, then “Christian”? I use quotes because you never call yourselves Christian, it’s always “messianic Jew” or as in your case, messianic believer (first time I’ve heard that one tbh). Why not just Christian?
@@John-vj6ss "messianic" describes who I believe in. In case you didn't know, Messiah is the same word as Christ. There's nothing magical about the label "Christian", especially as opposed to "messianic".
Exactly! No need to complain that they're not using the Greek word for "Messianic".
@@John-vj6ss There’s nothing wrong with being a Messianic Jew. In the New Testament, the Bible talks about both gentile and Jewish believers as different groups, but unified and equal in Christ. Being a Christian does not mean you have to give up being Jewish.
The beautiful thing about the Bible is it is a divine/human work compiled over many years with many authors and they all consistently point to one thing.
So you're saying you couldnt write a short story about Frodo Baggins?
@@yoshisaidit7250 no, what he's saying is it's INCREDIBLY obvious that the Bible is divine.
@@jordazmo19 a circular argument isnt an argument.
Prove scripture is divinely inspired.
Youll quote 1 Tim 3:16.
If scripture was truly self-evident then you wouldn't need to be told.
Go and look at the conspiracy theory regarding Flavian's writing the new testament
Melchizedek is necessary in order to establish the legitamacy of new religious order.
Who wrote Hebrews?
You don't know do you.
So its divinely inspired but God forgets to acknowledge the author?
Why do you think Messianic Jews claim themselves separate?
Or as Chuck Missler used to say, The Bible is an Integregrated Messaging System. As a matter of fact the Gospel is spelled out in the meaning of the names of the first 10 ( Adam to Noah ) Patriarchs of the Bible. God's plan of redemption was in the Bible from the beginning. If that doesn't prove Divine Inspiration, then I don't know what does.
@Justin Gary
All that sounds pretty bias to a belief rather than facts, and it looks like a lot of copy-n-paste.
If you want a real convo, pick one topic, and lets see where it goes.
One of my favorite types not discussed in NT is Numbers 35 and cities of refuge. They are Levite cities. So people flee to the priests, as we flee to our high priest. And they stay there until the death of the high priest and then can go to their inheritance. So we are set free to go to our inheritance by the death of the ultimate high priest, Jesus.
Dude! I literally read the chapter in Joshua that talks about the cities of refuge about two days ago and said to myself, "ok cool God provides a safe space for a fair assessment of justice", but was really thinking how boring reading it was. I even wondered why the heck they needed to wait for the high priest to die and just shrugged it off. That connection you just made absolutely blew my mind. I never saw it that way, and I can see now that it is probably a typology for sure. Bless you!
@@joshuastoltzfus4910 thanks!
Wow, first time for me too. Only lately when I am reading am i starting to make links from OT to Jesus....and this one u have pointed to is pretty awesome
@@7ruijorge this kind of thing is always so fun to see.
@@TheBeginningOfWisdom i recall reading Leviticus for the first time and I was saying man this is hard and boring and i cant see the relevance, then later on i studied Hebrews and various studies on grain offerrings by Jacob Prasch and Leviticus became a new book to me.
I was listening to my pastor teach on "shadows" for YEARS before I ever heard the term "typology". Typology brings out the richness and manifold wisdom of God. People who reject it are missing out in a tragic way.
I remember talking to my pastor about the story of Abraham and Isaac and the line about the Lord providing the sacrifice and saying as a Christian that it was like a large neon lit arrow flashing and pointing to Jesus.
I see that pointing towards Jepthah's daughter???
Jepthah's daughter is more like Jesus than what didn't happen on Mt Moriah.
I have been watching your videos from 2018 about how to see Jesus in the Old Testament. Be blessed Mike, you've opened my eyes 👏🏽
I have so enjoyed this podcast. Thank you both. I get so excited about the truth of God's word when listening to this. I pray that we, the Body of Christ, would hunger after Christ and desire to see Him through His word, both Old Testament and New.
This host talking to Mike has a really smooth voice & a great command of interviewing skills! Very likable!
That final notion about us being able to become types of Christs, and using that to teach people about Christ, was mind-blowing! I love typology just for the amazing story of Jesus throughout the Old Testament, but I never thought of applying this way of thinking in that way.
My favorite study is finding Jesus in the O.T. Especially in Joseph's story.
Read Genesis 40. Jesus loves you! Call upon the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be SAVED! Get a king james bible and believe.
I really appreciate your sermon on how Mariology use of typology is illicit because it shows where the brakes are.
Congratulations, Mike, on reaching over 320,000 subscribers! You're reaching out to so many with your sermons and podcasts. May God continue to bless you and yours 🙏🏼
I love all the typology in Hebrews regarding Christ being a Melchizidekian priest, a high priest, and the sacrifice. I love in chapter 12 too when it says Christ's blood speaks a better word than the blood of Abel, indicating Abel could also be viewed as a type of Christ.
If you want to read a really good book on typology and more read “ Finding Jesus in the Old Testament.” It was worth the money and I found it at the library first so maybe check your local library.
@@johnmark6628 I was the same way brother. It wasn’t until I finally committed to reading it and saw my self growing in ways I knew I couldn’t by myself. Now I’m fascinated too.
Great study! Thanks and blessings!🙏❤️

Here Are 3 Seeds To Plant That Could Spread Like Fire and Change This World.
1. First plan on the Georgia Guidestones is for 93% of all people to be disappeared. (That includes blacks, whites, Mexicans, Christians, and even many Democrats.)
2. True width of Washington Monument is 666 inches wide on each of its 4 sides.
3. Former elite banker Ronald Bernard says most billionaires are Luciferians (Satanic).
Ephesians 5:11 says to reprove evil. Some bibles translate that as, expose evil. We still have time, so please, keep planting seeds!
The criminals in our government and media still push the covid sh-aut even though Mexico City used Ivermectin to reduce covid hospitalizations 76% in 45 days. Doctors have had excellent results with hydrochloroquine, yet our leaders claimed it was dangerous. Users say it is safe.
Coveed sh-auts cause our bodies to make spike proteins that cause blood clots. In a couple years we will likely see devastation to our population. The clot deaths will likely be labeled as coveed deaths (ignore America's billionaire media).
Really loved this discussion. Praise the Lord
Outstanding teaching Pastor. Thank you for your powerful minstry!
Pastor Mike ....thank you so much for sharing your blessing of teaching, i love the evidence of Jesus in the old testament one of my favorite of your series.
...bless you brother, richard
cool to see another video I was thinking while you were doing your research on woman in the NT we might only get the Q&A for a while, but glad to see that is not the case..
After watching the series, I am astounded by my complete lack of ability to get this when I read the old testament. How could I have missed it when it was so obvious? The series opened up the old testament to me in ways I never thought possible
A big part of my walk with God has been his revealing of these types whenever I read scripture and has been awe inspiring each time ... with a background in philosophy and psychology, I can see how it is easy to be recklessly creative because I almost fell down that hole by conflating the typological with the archetypal, and especially when it comes to things involving more metaphysical concepts ... A good litmus test for me has been to test whether they can be subjective and hence can warp the already laid out literal understanding of the bible, if the answer is yes, I steer clear, ... if they confirm said understanding or even amplify it, then I know I'm on the right path.
It actually said God will provide himself an offering. Look at the wording!! Thank you God for giving us the word but most of all thank you for your Son.
Such a blessing this series has been. Some of the most worthy 27 hours I have ever invested
I love this, one of my favorites from you I love the passion we can hear in your voice and I can feel the excitement in the Spirit! Great stuff!
Amen.. I've felt so much JOY listening to this series. Only a fraction of the joy to come...
Excellent discussion; so edifying. Thank you. Praise and glory to our God!
MY 80 year old teacher back in the early 80's told me that the Bible was taught as a revelation of Jesus for hundreds of years before ministers became psychology majors , now its a collection of stories upon which to draw object lessons to live our daily lives ,
Just turned the video on and I have to say off the bat, I loved the video of Mike when Micah introduced him…🤣🤣🤣 love it! Reminds me of an 80s or 90s show.
I love how I just finished your typology series from a couple years ago and all of a sudden this video pops up. Praise the Lord. Love this ministry, thank you for caring for us so well!
Thanks Mike. Treasure this series so much. I take notes for each episode. It’s meat for long time believers. Like the best BBQ you’ve ever had. Lol. Thanks again
Your life is totally devoted to the glory of God. Thank you for stirring a hunger in my soul ❤️
Why would God need glory?
@@futilitarian3809 shut up
@@jacques9515 Hi JIMBF. The response that follows assumes you are Christian. If you are not, I apologise.
Surely, anyone who is truly secure in their faith should encourage questions, as it affords them the opportunity to persuade an unbeliever as to the 'truth'.
Is it not a Christian duty to help spread 'the word' and save people who are otherwise doomed to hell?
A legitimate set of beliefs has absolutely nothing to fear from questions. If you don't have an answer to them, that's fine, but telling someone to 'shut up' for asking a question is not only unnecessarily rude, it represents the Christian faith poorly and goes against the very Christian ideal of helping those who are 'blind' to 'see'.
Attacking the questioner without attempting to answer the question often leaves the impression that your frustration stems from an inability to answer it. There is absolutely nothing wrong with not having an immediate answer to a question, and nothing wrong with saying, 'I don't know', for then you can commence the process of trying to find an answer.
I have not yet had a reasonable answer to the questions of, "Why would a god require glory?", and "Why would a god ever derive glory from the acts of humans?". I have arrived at answers of my own, but I'm interested in the opinions of others.
@@futilitarian3809 God is sovereign. He is above all things. He's of great worth. Why would we not give Him glory for all things. As followers of Christ we believe that all things come from God through faith in Christ (Romans 11:36). Also our understanding of the scriptures is revealed or given to us by the Holy Spirit (John 14:26/John 16:13). We also glorify God for sending His Son Jesus Christ to die on the behalf of His fallen creation. We glorify God because Christ didn't just die but He raised from the dead and ascended into heaven where He stands before our Father in heaven as our advocate pleading our case.
Love this interview. Thanks so much for sharing.
May God The Most High bless both of you Mike's and your services. Let Him make you the reason of millions and millions to get back to Christ.
Back to the dark ages! Good for you and your cult!
I'd love to get your opinion, Brother Mike, on Ezekiel 9:4-6 where the Lord tells the angel (or angels?) to go throughout the city and put a mark on the foreheads of everyone who grieved over the sins being committed in Israel. The "mark" spoken of here is literally the tav, the last letter in the Hebrew aleph bet. Today it looks very different from the way it was written in Ezekiel's time. Back then it was written like our lower case "t" (without the tiny crook at the bottom)...which bears a striking resemblance to a cross.
Do you suppose that that might be a foreshadowing or hint at the Messiah to come?
I just watched a OneForIsrael video discussing how the Passover and Jewish feasts go thru the atonement and full story of Christ and our reconciliation!! Super cool!
In Abrahams story, I think the ram in the thicket is also a picture of Christ. The son of Abraham was spared by the ram with its head in a thicket. Jesus had a crown of thorns. Head in a thicket. And the people who are saved through faith are called children of Abraham. So… yeah I thought that was really cool too.
Also Isaac asked where is the lamb, and God gave a ram. Isaac's Lamb was sent almost 2000 years later! The Lamb of God!
Ooh I didn't put the head in a thicket thing together that's cool!
What you said about Abraham and his son was cool. I never ever would have noticed that. I don't know why I haven't watched more of your videos before. I really enjoyed this.
Biblical typology is amazing and gives us a glimpse of how God thinks and orders things. I also just love the way that God reveals Himself and His plans through visual symbolism as well.
This is excellent, thank you both very much 😉🙏
David Limbaugh has a book called “ finding Jesus in the Old Testament!” It’s absolutely awesome. I’m telling you read it!!!
Great video! Thanks for sharing Mike!
Thank you for this message. I believe troubles and problems are temporary when God intervened in my family’s situation 2 years ago, taking us out of poverty of more 10 years. I and my wife, we are a retired couple who use the RMD approach. I have been drawing my RMD each year and investing it on bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies with the help of William Tuinstra, a crypto analyst to supplement our retirement SS and pensions. With the knowledge, skills and Profits we have been gaining, my wife won't have to take RMD's for ten or ever depending on whether the Secure Act 2 passes Congress but I honestly don’t care.
Thank God for the blessing on you and your family.
If you do not mind, how do I get in contact with your analyst? I know it’s really profitable and I have a little knowledge on this but I think I need more guidance.

I love the study of Jesus in the old testament, one of my most loved studies to do! ❤
“Recklessly creative” is an apt description of some Bible studies I’ve experienced. Of course there’s a ditch on both sides of the road… blatant denial of typology ignores big swaths of the New Testament.
So Lord Himself said Moses, Prophets and Psalms point to Him. Not to Mary, but to Him. I pray for Catholic church to understand this and stop their worship of Mary. And also for the Jewish people that the Lord open their eyes to see and receive Him as their Messiah.
Also Luke 11:28, Jesus' response to a woman praising his mother in front of him.
You're a very genuine person and your videos have really helped confirm my faith and answer some of the tough questions I had. God bless you and keep up the great work!
Really provoked by this series. Thanks
Christ typology is also my fav subject.
Thoughts on Samson/Christ & their typological relationship:
An angelic visitation announced the miraculous conception & calling of a son who was to be savior of Israel. He was a teller of riddles/parables, handed over to the Gentiles by his countrymen, betrayed by a close companion for reward of silver & worked his greatest victory over the enemy upon his death.
Woah nice!
Idk why I've always just mostly felt bad for Samson where Mike kind of skimmed over him as a big failure. Well yes he failed but it was always for his bride! And him falling in love with Philistines alarmed his parents but it says it was "of the Lord" so he could defeat the enemy. Samson is also a fulfillment of prophecy himself! Deut. 32:30
Great great video. Thanks so much.
Typology shows how the whole bible is sawn together as a complete story that we all live in.

Thanks Pastor Mike
Wow, how amazing our God is. I’d known of some of these but there were others that I’d just not seen before. Thank you Mike, what a blessing you are 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Very powerful video Mike! I got goosebumps and tears all throughout, especially the very strong connection to Abraham and Isaac. All throughout the old testament scriptures, Jesus is there.
I feel like typology has value not only in finding parallels in Christianity, but in contrasting it with other religions that claim to have the same origins. After looking at how the master story plays out, something like Islam or LDS doctrine literally reads like fan fiction.
This was so awesome!!!! Thamk you!
Thank you pastor Mike
If you give me your very best verse from the Old Testament supporting Jesus, then maybe we can have a discussion.
Many thanks. Very excited

My marriage didn’t stay but the Word has. I have just barely scratched the surface of seeing my blessed Author of Salvation all through the Word, but the thrill of the hunt is in my veins.

It's been a while, but I remember loving the Artemis Fowl series when I read it
*The Binding of Isaac is a type of Jesus Christ:*
*God ordered Abraham to offer his son Isaac as a sacrifice and He calls Isaac the "only Son"* (Gen 22,2) *despite the fact that Abraham had another Son, Ishmael.*
*God also has many sons, for example the angels, but He has an "only Son", Jesus, which is the Son of God in a unique way* (John 3,16).
*Abraham took his son Isaac and laid the wood upon him, and Isaac carried the wood on the mount in the land of Moriah* (Gen 22,6), *and then Isaac was laid upon the wood to get sacrificed* (Gen 22,9).
*The romans laid the wooden cross upon Jesus and He had to carry it as He walked upon the mount in the land of Moriah* (Lk 23,26), *and they laid Him on the cross and crucified Him.*
*The land of Moriah was later called Jerusalem, and Moriah became the temple mountain* (2. Chr. 3,1). *But the binding of Isaac was not on the mount Moriah itself, but on a mount in the land of Moriah* (Gen 22,2), *maybe Golgatha, where Jesus was crucified over 2000 years later.*
*Isaac asked his father: "where is the lamb for a burnt offering?" And Abraham said: "My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering."* (Gen 22,7-8)
*Then after God stopped Abraham before he sacrificed his son, God gave a ram and they sacrificed the ram instead of Isaac* (Gen 22,13).
*Jesus is the lamb of God* (John 1,29), *that was given by God as a sacrifice. Jesus laid down His life and took the punishment we deserve, in our place. He died instead of us, so that we can have the eternal life* (John 3,16).
*The ram was caught in a thicket by his horns* (Gen 22,13).
*They platted a crown of thorns and put it upon the head of Jesus* (Mt 27,29).
*Abraham called the place "Jehovahjireh", that is, "The Lord will provide"* (Gen 22,14). *Abraham acknowledges he was enacting a prophecy of something God Himself would provide in the future. The story tells us what will be provided: the only son.*
THANK YOU for sharing these truths with us! May Jesus bless you!
Thank you for all your videos. I have learned so much. Way more than in any recent church. All the hard questions I've had you address.
Love you Mike. I love your channel. God Bless you, my brother in Christ.
Excellent guys!
It’s one of my very favorite Bible themes as well. And OF COURSE it’s “Biblical,” as Jesus Himself, after He was resurrected, made it a priority to take His disciples through Moses, the law and prophets, and the psalms to show them how they spoke of HIM.
So weird...Gods timing is crazy...I have never read Genesis before and I just finished reading about Joseph and now this video from 2 years ago shows up on my main youtube page...Wow. So many little things that God does that just amaze us!!
Can’t wait to hear what it is. Besides the story of Jesus of course, the story of king David is my favorite.
Welp, I tried some rice in salad finally - not bad! 😊
As an Eastern Orthodox (Greek Orthodox, from Crete) I obviously disagree with some of your theology, in some issues A LOT, but I appreciate that for an American Protestant pastor, you are a very good speaker and you make some interesting points.
Enjoyable discussion.
What would you say about Balaam and the donkey? I read that one day and instantly saw the Lord Jesus Christ. Balaam had sinned and was heading straight into the angel who was goin to kill him(the wages of sin is death) but that the donkey not only to save Balaam took punishment but at the end laid its life down to save him. I have to believe this was the Holy Spirit revealing Christ to me through this passage. Biblically, what does Scripture teach?
Biblically, the scripture teaches that the wages of sin are death, and that Jesus Christ laid down His life to save us, just as you said. I think you're spot on. I'll have to remember that one.
God bless you brother Mike!!!
3:40 'easter eggs' me: I see what you did there...
Mike should read the book Jesus: The Incarnation of the Word by Dr. David C. Mitchell. It does a deep study on the Melchizedek connection to Jesus. I won’t spoil the author’s conclusions but it is one of the most fascinating books that I have read about Jesus. Well worth the read.
The lineage of Jesus is & can be traced through the " begats" ! That is why we can have confidence & faith about who Jesus is
I love this. Typologies in the Old Testament is one of the studies I want to do, just listening to this conversation makes me excited.
What about Caim and Abel story? It looks like a shadow of Christ. No? It has so many other applications too.
Hebrews 12:24
“I will not carry out my fierce anger, nor will I devastate Ephraim again. For I am God, and not a man- the Holy One among you.
Hosea 11:9 NIV

One of the things to see in Joseph story is when he is in prison 2 guys met him. cupbearer(wine) and the chief baker(bread).
Am i taking these things too seriously 🤷♂️
It’s interesting! One died and one lived.
Pastor Mike, since the war started in Israel, I have come to a new question regarding my faith in Jesus. Could you recommend some materials on how we can be sure that Jesus is the Jewis Messiah? I have been a Christian for over 30 years now. Thank you!

*John 5:39* "You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me."
AMEN.
so strange, I was just starting to do some research on typology. what a coincidence ;) the more i learn about typology the more i love it. typology also seems ot be the one major way Catholics defend Catholicism, so interested from that side as well.
Yeah it is a coincidence
Typology helps to understand the real thing
Wonderful, beautiful… 🤍Our God is the God of mercy🤍
*Moses is a type of Jesus Christ*
Similarities and contrasts between Moses and Jesus:
*- Both were born at a time when Israel was under foreign domination*
(Moses - Egyptian bondage / Jesus - Roman bondage)
*- Both had rulers that tried to kill them shortly after their births*
Ex 1,15-22 / Mt 2,16-18
*- Both began their ministry after a period of 400 years in which God did not speak to Israel*
*- Both spent their childhood in egypt.*
*- Both spent time in the wilderness before taking on their callings*
Ex 3 / Mt 4,1-11
*- The israelites rejected Moses the first at his first comming, so he gave water to the heatens first* (Ex 2,17) *and later to the israelites* (Ex 17,1-6). *The mass of the people of Israel rejected Jesus at His first comming, so He gives the nations first of the water of life, and later the israelites* (Acts 3,26; 7,25-29; Romans 11)
*- Moses stood up against the bad shepards which did not want to give water to the sheeps* (Ex 2,16-19); *Jesus, the good shepard* (John 10,11), *stood up against the bad shepards* (Ezk 34), *which did not want to give the sheeps the water of life* (Mt 23,13) *and gave the sheeps from the water of life for free* (Jes 12,3; 49,10; John 7,37-39; Rev 21,6; 22,17).
*- Both were sheperds*
Ex 3,1 / Joh. 10,11
*- Both were prophets*
Deut 34,10 / John 6,14
*- Both were priests*
Ex 40 / Hebr 4,14
*- Both were judges*
Ex 18,13 / John 5,24-30
*- Both were teachers*
Deut 4,5 / John 18,20
*- Moses was a prophet, i.e. a person through whom God spoke to people. Jesus, the Word of God incarnate, is the ultimate fulfillment of all prophethood, the ultimate prophet. God speaks as a man to people directly.*
*- Moses was the mediator between God and man; Jesus is God and man at the same time and thus the ultimate mediator, the bridge, between God and man.*
Ex 32,30-32; Ex 5,22; Num 11,11-15 / 1. Tim. 2,5; 1. Joh. 2,1
*- Both were humble and voluntarily made slaves even though they were part of a royal family.*
Num 12,3; Hebr. 11,24-26 / Phil. 2,5-8
*- Moses turned water to blood and Jesus turned water to wine*
Ex 7,20 / John 2,9
*- Moses divided the sea and Jesus calmed the sea*
Ex 14,16 / Mt 8,23-27
*- Moses walked through the divided water and Jesus walked on the water*
Ex 14,22 / Mt 14,25
*- Both dealt with folks who hardened their hearts*
Ex 8,15 / Mk 6,45-52
*- Through Moses the law was given; through Jesus the law was fulfilled.*
Deut 31,9 / Mt 5,17
*- Moses hit the rock, so that the water gush out if and the israelites could survive* (Ex 17,1-6). *Jesus is the rock* (Deut 32,15; 1. Cor 10,4), *that was hit* (Jea 53,10) *and from whom the water of life gushes* (Jer 17,13; Ps 36,10; John 4,10-14) *so that all who believe in Him do not perish but have eternal life* (John 3,16).
*- Both had outstretched arms with 2 men beside them, and in both cases there was a war going on. In Moses’ case, it was a physical war with Amalek. In Christ’s case, it was a spiritual war with the devil.*
Ex 17,8-16 / Mt 27,38
*- Moses wanted to make an atonement for the sins of his people and asked that his name be erased from the book of life; Jesus gave his life for the sins of his people.*
Ex 32,30-32 / Jes 53,8
*- Moses like Jesus has unique relationship with the Father.*
Num 12,6 / Mt 11,27; John 1,18
*- Both fasted for 40 days*
Ex 34,28; Lk 4,2
*- Both sent out 12 men*
Num 13 / Lk 9,1-6
*- Both fed hungry people in a wilderness*
Ex 16 / Mk 8,1-9
*- Because the Israelites sinned against God, they were punished by venomous snakes; they bit the people and many Israelites died. Then Moses prayed for the people, and God ordered Mose to build a snake out of bronze and put it in a pole, and anyone who is bitten can look at it and live* (Num 21,6-9).
*Snakes do symbolize sins* (Gen 3), *and sins lead to death* (Ez 18,4). *We need Jesus, who took our sins upon Himself on the cross, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life* (John 3,16).
*- Not Moses, but Joshua (hebrew name of Jesus) brought the Israelites in the promised land. Not the law of Mose will bring us in heaven, but Jesus Christ.*
*- Both died but did not stay in their burial places*
Deut 34,5-6 / Mt 17,1-9; Mt 28
