These words had impact: “God…speaks through patterns…shapes history itself, using actual people, actual events & institutions as vehicles for revelation that would come later. The connection isn’t coincidence or creative interpretation. It’s intentional divine architecture.” “The Torah’s shadows told Israel that something real…embodied…ultimate was walking toward them.” “The OT is revelation…intentional, structured, God-breathed revelation that was always pointing somewhere.”
And his intrinsic character remains unchanged. He still selects people as messengers, changing them in unimaginable ways. I have completed my second manuscript that is a chronology of all dreams, visions and communications since 2021, and integrating these into the world of quantum physics and natural theology. I am no physicist and yet this is where His direction has led. HaShem wants to be known and felt. He is reaching out to a mortal world in decoherence and desires to heal both man and earth. It's fascinating to watch how He times both: answers to prayer and commands to "Write!" If anything He is consistent and unchanging.
I was always aware of typology but could not find anything on the subject except, Study of the Types, Habershon. I was saved by reading the Pentateuch.
Up until about 150 years ago, Job was widely considered a "type" for Jesus. Now, in the modern and post-modern chaos, he is viewed as a crazed King Lear figure, raging against nature and God, howling at the universe. But that is just secular nonsense.
Hosea is also a type. As is Ezekiel. They were faithful prophets, called to do (almost) impossible things. As was Jeremiah, who died in Egypt, alone (despite warning his people NOT to go there, as God taught him). I struggle to see why God would allow him to be taken there, to die.
“The volume of the book speaks of Me, “Jesus said. How quickly we forget that book was the “Old” testament. Thank you for helping us see Him more clearly in the scriptures we often dismiss as no longer important.
I have been reading through Leviticus and Deuteronomy and recently truly understood this typology. Previously I just thought '"so many rules!" but God has been showing me it's not rules, it's perfection and He KNEW they couldn't keep it all perfectly, that was the point, to show us our need for a Redeemer. We cannot do it on Our own. If we continue in the way of Adam, no matter how hard we try, we can never truly be free of the wage of sin, we can never provide a sacrifice that would be enough. Christ is God providing the full price.
I love that I jump into this lesson only to see it's the very thing God's been showing me lately, its all so tightly woven together. I mean, I knew that, but God's pulling me in deeper, tightening the strands that pull it all together. ❤️
Yes, yes, yes. In my Bible Study with my octogenarians we studied the Tabernacle. Absolutely the most fascinating picture of Christ. The Way, The Truth and The Life. No one comes to the Father but through Me. We studied it for months and were thrilled every week to find a new treasure.

The picture of the Lord covering Adam & Eve with the first sacrifice connected with the following prophecy in vs 15 (Gen 3:15)
Good work, Diane! I like that you distinguished typology from allegory. An essential point!
Thank you Trip!
