Such is the purpose of Typology, which I believe, was divinely set in Scripture. Of course not. Neither does Modalism contend that the illustration of Fatherhood and Sonship, as seen in one individual human named Mike Blume, for example, give a perfect and complete picture of the nature of God from a Modalist's standpoint. If not looked upon with the thought of typology behind it all, the Old Testament would play no relevant part for the believer other than to merely provide history of the Israeli people and pictures of oriental customs. Paul said that all scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable .
Typology is one major reason.
Now, these incidents really did take place. And the writers of the New Testament took them as real events. Peter said that stones of the temple were types of believers who are built up a spiritual house. John called Jesus the Lamb which takes away sins, signifying that Old Testament sacrificial Lambs were types of Christ. Yet Solomon later backslid and disobeyed God.
