Theology-Biblical Typology - By Randy Nelsen


Theology- Biblical Typology - By Randy Nelsen

Biblical Typology is the study of the symbols or types that link together the Natural  and Spiritual Truths represented within the Holy Bible.Typology teaches people to link the carnal realm of this world with the spiritual realm of heaven, and  it is also one of the reasons why Jesus used the Parable as a method of teaching his disciples.The definition of the Greek word for parable παραβολή (parabolē) is this, to set something beside something. It is to set one thing or concept beside another so that a comparison can be made.A Parable is a analogy,illustration or comparison The parable is a linking form of typology that connects the natural truth with  the greater Spiritual truth. This is a scriptural example, Then Jesus asked, "What is the kingdom of God like? What shall I compare it to?Luke 13:18 . Typology is a symbol for a spiritual truth,and  biblical Typology is the actual example within the scripture. I will use a well known illustration
