I love types and shadows. Though I'm not a typologist I have come across quite a few. What I love about them is they give you a bigger and more complete picture, they prove that Scriptures are inspired and they point to Christ. Here is one of my favorite types in the Bible. It's about Joseph. Joseph’s life is a perfect type of Christ’s coming.
- Joseph was loved of his father but hated by his brethren because he was spiritual.- So was Jesus.
- Joseph’s brethren sold Joseph to the Egyptians for 20 pieces of silver (the price of a slave) where he was innocently put in prison. - Jesus was sold out for 30 pieces of silver and handed over to the Romans who put him on the cross for no crime.
- In jail Joseph was accompanied by two other prisoners. One was saved and one was condemned. - On the cross Jesus was crucified along side two other men. One was saved and one was condemned.
- When Joseph was exalted out of prison he went and sat at the right hand of Pharaoh. Whenever Joseph came forth the trumpet sounded and every knee had to bow. - When Jesus rose He ascended and sat at the right hand of God. When He shall return the trump will sound and every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus is Lord.
- Joseph married a Gentile bride.- Jesus took a Gentile Bride (Gentile Church)
- Joseph made himself known again to his brethren while his bride was in the palace. - Jesus will return to the Jews again to make Himself known to them after the Gentile Bride is raptured and in Glory.
