SHADOW IN THE SON

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

Have you ever gone to the mailbox and found that the letter you deposited the day before is still sitting there, in the box? Don't you hate that. You start to get mad and then you suddenly realize that the letter is missing something very important, a stamp. Stamps are very important, because without a stamp the letter is not certified. You can put the letter in the mailbox as many times as you want but without the stamp the mailman is not going to pick it up and deliver it the proper address and intended destination. You might be thinking, so what!Whats the point, why i am wasting your time talking about stamps and mailboxes. There is an important lesson here if we just stop and take a closer look. You see, our life is like a letter, and we are like the envelopes that these letters carry.
