Commonly, we look at the prophecies about the Christ. But, Bible types also tell us about the Christ and His purpose.
Bible types are metaphors or symbols used to portray different things in the Bible.
If we analyze the qualities or characteristics of the type, we learn more about the person, object or concept that the type describes. Throughout the Bible, God maintains consistent messages to us. Primary among them are the messages about sin, sacrifice, forgiveness and redemption. From the time of the fall of Adam and Eve to the end of the Bible, God s plan of redemption remains consistent. We are born with a sinful nature that separates us from God.
