The Bible Exalted! is a podcast program that seeks to uplift the word of God which is being highly exalted at this time. Each episode explores both sides of a doctrine, examining how one passage of Scripture may seem to teach one truth while another points in a different direction. Through careful study, the program seeks to uncover the harmony of the Bible as a whole, showing which understanding aligns with the full testimony of Scripture.


"...rightly dividing the word of truth." 2 Timothy 2:15

And now here's a pre-recording of an e-Bible Fellowship panel discussion. Good night, everyone, and welcome again to another e-Bible Fellowships, the Bible Exalted Program. I'm your host, Gary Daniels, and tonight we'll be discussing topics related to the Bible, in which the Bible has the final say in the matter. Joining us tonight are our beloved three panel speakers, Bob Grandi, Chris McCann, and Carl von Haringa. Welcome again, radio listeners, folks watching on Zoom, YouTube, and other streaming platforms. Tonight's discussion is types and figures of Christ. Once again, types and figures of Christ. You can join us live online by visiting www.ebiblefellowship.org and you'll see the Zoom button. You may also listen to us at our future rebroadcast by radio, which will be a one hour program. The Bible Exalted program is typically run up to an hour and a half. But if there's a natural uh progression, or if there isn't that much to talk about, we won't use that full one and a half hours. But the primary program is one and a half hours. And after the one full hour, we'll have the additional half hour, which will not be rebroadcast. All right. We're looking forward to hearing your on-topic questions and comments. And once again, tonight's topic is types and figures of Christ. And we'll start with you, Bob.

SPEAKER_05

Okay, thanks, Gary. Hi, everybody. Yeah, there's there's many, many types and figures of Christ sprinkled throughout the Bible, and we'll try to show you know many of them tonight. But I wanted to point out one uh that in particular, uh during the Great Tribulation, uh a few years before Judgment Day began on May 21, 2011, God, through Mr. Camping, revealed a new doctrine that had a great impact on our understanding of God's salvation plan. And it was based on what we read in Revelation 13, verse 8. And I'll I'll read that verse. And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him whose names are not written in the book of life of the lamb slain from the foundation of the world. And in this verse, God tells us that Christ is typified as a lamb. And the reason that Christ had to be slain at the foundation of the world was because he was bearing the sins of all of God's elect that he had chosen before the foundation of the world. And Romans 6, verse 23 tells us that the wages of sin is death. So as a result, this meant that the payment for sins, the atonement for all of God's elect, even those in the Old Testament, was completed in eternity past. Christ resurrected from this death and was declared to be the Son of God who spoke and created this universe. And this biblical doctrine that God hid for many centuries corrected the church's teaching that Jesus paid for sins when he died on the cross of Calvary. And we now understand that Christ's death on the cross and resurrection in 33 AD was a manifestation or a demonstration of what he had already accomplished at the foundation of the world. The use of a lamb to typify Christ is also seen in other places in the Bible. For instance, when God commanded Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac, we read in Genesis 22, verses 7 and 8. And Isaac spake unto Abraham, his father, and said, My father, and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold, the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering? And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering. So they went both of them together. And also, uh God instituted the feast of the Passover during Israel's Exodus from Egypt in 1447 BC. And it featured the killing of a lamb. And that's found in uh Exodus 20, I'm sorry, Exodus 12, verses 5 to 7. Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year, you shall take it out from the sheep or from the goats, and you shall keep it up until the fourth day of the same month, and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening, and they shall take of the blood and strike it on the two posts and on the upper door of the post of the houses wherein they shall eat it. And the the Passover Lamb was a type and figure of Jesus Christ. And when he was baptized in 29 AD by John the Baptist, John the Baptist declared in John 1, 36, he said, and and and looking upon Jesus as he walked, he said, Behold the Lamb of God. And three and a half years later, Jesus would fulfill the feast of Passover by dying on the cross to demonstrate that he had paid for the sins of all of the elect at the foundation of the world. And uh I want to finish up with one last verse. Christ as the Lamb is also in view during the time we are living in right now, which is judgment day. And in Revelation 19, verses 7 to 9, we read, Let us be glad and rejoice and give honor to him, for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white, for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. And he saith unto me, right, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.

SPEAKER_02

Thanks, Bob. As always, uh really good points there, and I was thinking of that verse in relation to Isaac in in Hebrews chapter 11, verse 19. I believe the verse says, From whence also we receive him in a figure. And tonight's topic is types and figures. And it's kind of interesting how Isaac is a type and figure of the Lord Jesus Christ.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, God, God tells us right there, it didn't didn't really hide that from us.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, it's not just the lambs, but also Isaac. So there you have a human that could be a type and figure of Christ, and also an animal person.

SPEAKER_02

What a wide topic. When I when I was listening to the open forum earlier today, and uh people I heard Chris say when people are looking for evidence that Jesus is God, it's like uh it's like an ocean, he said. And it's like the same thing here, where we could probably just go on and on and on about types and figures of Christ.

SPEAKER_06

And and also just to mention, um, it's not just a type of figure of Christ could be I I will explore each one, but it could be a man, a historical person that represents Christ. It could be an animal, like in the case of the lamb, but it can also be like an inanimate object, like the case of the rock that Moses struck.

SPEAKER_02

Like a hen that gathereth her brood.

SPEAKER_06

Right.

SPEAKER_07

And and that ties in, Carl, with uh what Bob was saying about lamb sludding from the foundation the sweating of the rock twice.

SPEAKER_03

Yep. The door in the animal the sun?

SPEAKER_07

Right. The Lord God is the sun and a shield. He's the light of the world.

SPEAKER_05

I am the true vine and my father is the husband.

SPEAKER_07

Manna from heaven, the bread of life. Christ is the bread.

SPEAKER_05

I am the door. Now if any man enter in, he shall be saved and shall go in and and and out and find pasture.

SPEAKER_02

What about the tree of life?

SPEAKER_07

Yeah, the tree. Right. He's a tree. The the days of my people shall be as the days of a tree. The days of Christ.

SPEAKER_06

Oh, he's the he's fire. Our God is a consuming fire. Burning bush. And and he's also yeah, yeah. So fire could represent Christ.

SPEAKER_03

Thy word is a lamp. It's a lamp. It's beautiful. It's so beautiful.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah, many pla persons, places, and things. Um I have a list of a bunch of persons. Uh Bob Bob mentioned one of them, Isaac. And uh there's Joseph. Joseph, um, when he reveals himself to his brethren in Genesis 45. It's a type of Christ revealing himself to his people during the Great Tribulation. And uh Genesis 45:1, Joseph made himself known unto his brethren, and when he reveals himself, he reveals the time in verse six. For these two years hath the famine been in the land, and yet there are five years in the which there shall neither be earring nor harvest. So Joseph, who's a great type of Christ, reveals the beginning of the famine two years earlier, and that's a point after two years, a dividing point, it'll be five years more, the ending point, and that would identify with uh 1988, 1994, and 2011. God revealed those three dates. Um so normally when when a historical character is used as a type of Christ, it teaches us about some part of God's program, like Isaac, the atonement, Joseph, has to do with a lot with the time of the end. And uh there's uh Joshua, and Joshua is a type of Christ. The name Joshua, Jesus, or the name Jesus is a Greek form of Joshua, and it means Jehovah's Savior. And Moses led Israel for 40 years in the wilderness to the point of the promised land, but he didn't lead them over. Joshua had to lead them over, and I think that that goes along with uh Romans 10 that says in verse 4, for Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone that believeth. So the law leads us to Christ, it leads us as far as it can go. It's directing us now to the end of the world, to the crossing of Jordan, but it can't carry us over. Uh we have to be saved, and only Christ can do that. And Joshua is a picture of Christ who leads his people into the promised land.

SPEAKER_06

And Joshua means Jesus, right, in Hebrew?

SPEAKER_07

Is that right? Well, Jesus is a Greek form of Joshua.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_07

So so, like I uh I mentioned earlier, uh, Jesus is Jehovah's Savior. Joshua means Jehovah's Savior. And who knows what Joseph and Joshua have in common? Those two great types of Christ, what do they both have in common?

SPEAKER_05

The same death age.

SPEAKER_07

They both lived to be 110 and then died. And 110, 10 times 11, 10 completeness, 11 points to first coming of Christ, the atone, the demonstration of the atonement. Uh so both of them, and also Joseph was the 11th son, the the 11th born to Jacob. Uh, Benjamin would have been the twelfth.

SPEAKER_02

Um, entered into the promised land. One one entered in as a bag of bones, the other, and the other went in with a body, which is kind of interesting because one was able to enter in alive and the other, you know, and they're dead. Yeah.

SPEAKER_07

Well, right, the the rapture and those coming out of the grave, Elvis Cemetery. Exactly.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06

Do you know what date that was that Joshua was uh born? No, uh, I don't think we just know that he died because that yeah.

SPEAKER_07

But it tells us his death age, he was 110.

SPEAKER_06

We just don't know what year he died. Uh no. Okay. Did you mention um Esau? I think you did a study. Uh Esau he represents God, right?

SPEAKER_07

Uh Esau normally represents man. Like Jacob, I love Esau, I hated.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07

But he's called Edom. Edom is is the word Adam. If you take away the vowel points, there's no difference between uh they they called him Edom because he he liked red pottage or porridge. And uh the word red, man, Edom, and Adam are all the same word, all the same consonants. So he he's I would say most times a picture of mankind, but there is an instance when um when he's coming to see Jacob after the 40 years when Jacob came out of Haran with all the people and the animals. Remember, Jacob sends uh gifts to hit to a head. He sends like his servants, each one carrying gifts, so that that Esau will receive the gifts, and then he comes a little closer, he gets some more gifts. And um it's very strange because in the language, I think Jacob calls him Lord. Uh it's in Genesis. Where is it? Genesis thirty thirty-two. Genesis thirty-two um it says in um verse three, Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau, his brother, unto the land of Seir, the country of Edom. And he said, Thus shall ye speak unto my lord Esau. See he says, My Lord Esau, thy servant Jacob saith, Thus I have sojourned with Laban and stayed there till now, and have oxen and asses, flocks, and men's servants and women's servants that I have sent to tell my Lord that I may find grace in thy sight. So Jacob is asking to find grace in the sight of Esau and uh the gifts. Um it's in verse 2 and also no, just in verse 20. Uh, and say ye moreover, behold, thy servant Jacob is behind us, for he said, I will appease him with the present that goeth before me, and afterward I will see his face, peraventure he will accept of me. The word appease is the word atonement, for he said, I will atone or you know, give atonement to him with the present, so that calling him Lord, wanting to find grace on his sight, sending atonement gifts in order that he would be welcomed or accepted. It pictures Esau in this account basically as the law of God that has been offended. Esau's a picture of the law, and there's satisfaction where Esau is pleased to see his brother. He he doesn't want to kill him anymore, he doesn't want to destroy him anymore. And then Esau wants Jacob and his family to go with him, and Jacob says, no, I'm with uh, you know, there's young with me. Um you you go ahead. Uh we we will we will go on slowly. And in Genesis 32, 30 it says, and Jacob called um no, I'm sorry, I I went too far ahead, I think. Yeah, that's when he's wrestling with someone. So um it has to do with um Jacob not going with the law because after we're saved, we don't follow the law. No, we're not under the law, we're under grace. And and uh Esau wanted him to come with him and he would he would take him, but uh, but actually uh it's been a little while since I did this study, but uh it in other words, Esau is a picture of the law of God in this account. And um so not necessarily Christ, even though Christ is the word, he's the law, but but it it is a picture identifying with God.

SPEAKER_06

I think it's the chapter after in verse 33 when he when he lifts it. You're looking for the one where Esau is actually Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Uh right. Because there's like an end because that wrestling is kind of in between.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah. Calling for Oh, yeah, thank you. In verse 8, um he said, What meanest thou by all this drove which I met? And he said, These are to find grace in the sight of my Lord. Verse 10. And Jacob said, Nay, I pray thee, if now I have found grace in thy sight, then receive my present at my hand. For therefore I have seen thy face as though I had seen the face of God, and thou wast pleased with me. There's a lot of evidence calling him Lord, wanting to find grace. The uh the animal gifts were the atonement, and he sees his face as the face of God. So it in this account, I don't know if there is anywhere else where Esau might have that picture, but in in this account, he is typifying God, the law of God.

SPEAKER_02

Jesus is also the uh rose of Sharon and the lily of the valleys.

SPEAKER_03

Yep.

SPEAKER_02

That's a good one, yep. He's also um now he's also called the true and faithful witness. And I don't know if this is a uh accurate depiction, but I I like to call Christ the true believer. But the word belief I don't know if is appropriate because Christ is he is faithful. So I don't know if I can apply that that term believer. But he is the example, you know, we walk in his steps.

SPEAKER_06

He's likened to a lion, the lion of the tribe of Judah with the lamb.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06

Um I don't know if you have uh Samson on your list. I do. Okay, yeah. Yeah, I was looking at that. It is a lot of interesting parallels with Samson. Um even even just the one in Judges 16 when it mentions him. Um I'll just read verses three. And Samson lay till midnight and arose at midnight, and took the doors of the gate of the city and the two posts and went away with them, bar and all, and put them upon his shoulder. And carry them up to the top of a hill that is before Hebron. I couldn't help but think of uh you know Christ carrying the cross. I don't know if there's a relationship there. You know, when he's going up to Calvary.

SPEAKER_07

Well, um, he he's basically um this is a picture of judgment and it you know, the time midnight identifies he arose at midnight, so he's he's rising up from the dead, from the judgment of God. He's a picture of Christ, and he took the doors of the gate of the city. Uh the this city would uh represent hell, and the doors of the gate is like the gates of hell. Oh, I see will not prevail. And he he took the doors of the gate of the city and the two posts and went away with them, bar and all, and put them upon his shoulders. Remember that uh Isaiah, his government shall be upon his shoulders.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_07

And he carried them up to the top of the hill that is before Hebron and Sarah, uh, and the the cave where Abraham also was buried, and and others of the patriarchs was buried before Hebron in Genesis twenty four. Genesis of Macpilah. Yeah, in uh Macpelah, it says in Genesis twenty-four, verse nineteen, and after this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah before Mamre, the same as Hebron in the land of Canaan, and the field and the cave that is therein were made sure unto Abraham for possession of a burying place by the sons of Heth. So it's significant that Samson carries the gates of hell, Christ carrying the gates of hell to the top of a hill before Hebron. So uh remember Sarah, picture of the believers, she she died at age 127, the only woman in the Bible whose death age is given, and that identifies with King Ahashereris's 127 provinces, which would be like the whole kingdom of God. So Sarah representing all the kingdom of God who um is in the grave, and so it's significant. Here comes Samson with the gates, uh the the door of the gate of the city, right up to the hill before Hebron, basically um declaring victory over death and hell and the grave, um, almost witnessing or testifying to those in the grave. Um, my word is sure, you will, as I have done, he arose at midnight, you will also arise. So, yeah, that that's yeah, that definitely fits way better.

SPEAKER_06

I was thinking it was Calvary, but now that with the gates, I couldn't make sense of the gates, but that that definitely fits really well. The gates being hell.

SPEAKER_07

And if we keep reading, verses four and five, it there's another picture, and it came to pass afterward that he loved the woman in the valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah, and the lords of the Philistines came up unto her and said unto her, entice him, and see wherein his great strength lieth, and by what means we may prevail against him, we may bind him to afflict him, and we will give thee every one of us eleven hundred pieces of silver. So there's a eleven. Eleven hundred and all the lords of the Philistines. Quick quiz, how many lords of the Philistines? Come on, we should know this one.

SPEAKER_06

Uh eleven, right? Bait when I was a little bit more than a little bit.

SPEAKER_07

No, no, there are eleven hundred pieces of five. Five, that's right. Five. Remember with the ark? Yeah, but the ark of the covenant went to the five cities, and each city has a Lord, and it it says in um Judges three, three. Judges three, three, namely five lords of the Philistines. Uh it's also mentioned first Samuel 6, 4. So five number of atonement, five times 1100. This is what Deliah was going to make. Because each one of us will give you eleven hundred pieces of silver, fifty, five hundred pieces of silver if you betray Samson. And it's a picture of the Lords of the Philistines represents Satan, who um, and and Delilah, she is in the valley of Sorek. Uh, this the word Surach is the same as noble vine in Jeremiah 221. It says in Jeremiah 221.

SPEAKER_03

Uh uh Chapter three, two twenty-one.

SPEAKER_07

Yet I had planted thee, speaking of Israel, I I had planted thee a noble vine, Sorak, holy a right seed. How then art thou turned into the de into the degenerate plant of a strange vine unto me? So so Israel is the noble vine, Sorak, where Delilah lived, and where we have to take a break.

SPEAKER_02

Good time, Chris. Oh, you're listening to the Bible Exalted Program. We've come to our half an hour break. Tonight's topic is types and figures of Christ. Types and figures of Christ. So you have a question or a comment that's on topic, we'd like to hear from you. But for now, uh please continue, Chris.

SPEAKER_07

Well, yeah, so when we look at it that way, the five lords of the Philistines are Satan, Satan, and um they're paying Delilah to betray Samson, and we can see Satan's activity in Israel. Um, you know, even paying Judas to betray Christ. So, so Delilah is a picture of national Israel who betrays um the one they say they loved, the Messiah. They betrayed the Messiah when they delivered him up to the Romans to be crucified. And uh it was Satan, as typified by these five lords of the Philistines behind the scenes. And then, you know, Delilah's temptations of Samson, you know, um, tell me your secret, and the Philistines are upon thee, Samson, again and again until he finally did reveal his secret, and then he was he was taken by them. So Samson is a great type of Christ, two times one through three, and and then with Delilah, uh he he's another type of Christ.

SPEAKER_06

And this is also a good time to point out with that word soric, that uh the noble vine and sork is the is two different strong numbers, but it's the same Hebrew letters.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06

Showing that that uh, you know, the vowel points get in the way of seeing that, I guess.

SPEAKER_07

Well, well, there's something else too. Um I I let me see if I have the numbers. Uh Sorek. Sorek is 83, no, um six and and and noble vine is eighty-three twenty-one. Right? Or is it it might be reverse? Uh no, it's that.

SPEAKER_06

No, it's yeah, you got that right.

SPEAKER_07

Okay, so so um noble vine, 8321 has I think um the valve, you know, that little letter that that uh acts like a vowel a lot of times, uh, but it but it's a consonant. And the other word doesn't have it. So so it's not just the vowel points, it it it's that one one word, but it would be you know, you you can tell it's the same word.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, I don't know why it shows it. Maybe the blue letter Bible's inferior, but it it just shows the same exact even vowel points, but one is considered a masculine noun, the other is considered a proper locative noun. I'm not sure what that means. But it doesn't show any extra letter, it just shows the exact same three letters in even the exact I well I looked at it in the concordance.

SPEAKER_07

Um I didn't look at it in the interlinear, I'll I'll have to check that out.

SPEAKER_06

Okay, so it's different Here's a bit of a difficult one.

SPEAKER_02

In Luke 10, you know, we hear about the good man, but uh in Luke 10 verse 30, uh we read, and Jesus answering said a certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment and wounded him and departed, leaving him half dead. And by chance there came down a certain priest that way. Um so Christian, in this case, I would think that this man who went down from Jerusalem to Jericho is like a picture of Christ who came down to earth from the kingdom of heaven, and the Samaritan as he journeyed had compassion on him, went to him and bound up his wounds. Could these both be a type of Christ, even though the Samaritan's a picture of a true believer in in this case?

SPEAKER_07

Uh yeah, I don't I don't know about the man who who fell among thieves, stripped him of his raiment, wounded and departed, leaving him half dead. Yeah, that that's interesting. Actually, stripped of raiment, stripped of raiment, um I I was looking at that before, um, where Aaron, when he went up into the mountain to die. That's right. Um, do you have that verse? I think it's in it's in Leviticus. Is it Leviticus?

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, his son Eliezer took the garments.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Uh, do you do you know where that is? I find it really quick. Um and also in Job. That's uh Numbers 20, 25 to 28.

SPEAKER_07

Oh, Numbers 20. Numbers 2025. Yeah, take Aaron, Eliezer his son, bring them up into Mount Hor, and strip Aaron of his garments, and put them on Eliezer, and then verse 28, and Moses stripped Aaron of his garments and put them upon Eliezer his son, and Aaron died there in the top of the mount. So uh it's the same with, I believe it's Job, the language of being stripped, uh, where Job is making reference to to, I don't know if it says garments, but he's been stripped of something. Uh I just can't remember the verse. Anybody do a word check on that word stripped? I think it's the same word. Let's see. Yeah, I can do that. Over in Job.

SPEAKER_02

Job 19.9.

SPEAKER_07

Job 19.9. Yeah, he has stripped me of my glory and taken the crown from my head. And Job's a type of Christ, and so would Aaron, I think, being high priest and dying, and basically then being stripped, just like Job, a type of Christ, under the wrath of God, is stripped. And so the man, yeah, I think I've never thought of that before. I've always thought it, well, we know the Samaritan's a type of Christ. They actually said of Jesus in John 8, 47, 48, say we not, well, thou art a Samaritan and has a devil. So Jesus is called a Samaritan. So that's pretty clear. But verse 30, Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and that could be Christ coming down to enter into the human race, and fell among thieves. You have made my father's house a den of thieves, which stripped him of his raiment. He he was stripped of his glory like Job, stripped of his his he was naked actually on the cross. Could that could have been naked and wounded him and departed, leaving him half dead.

SPEAKER_02

I I'm not sure of the word half dead, why I like the half-dead because when Christ died on the cross, he already paid for sin. So spiritually, he didn't die, but physically, you know, he gave up. He gave up the ghost, but he didn't spiritually Yeah, and also the ministering to this man, the ministering when he's taken to the inn, that that's the body of Christ.

SPEAKER_07

That's the like when Christ came in Matthew 25, um, I was naked and ye clothed me. When saw we thee naked? Well, when you did it to the lead, that could be that see that's what I was just thinking.

SPEAKER_06

The spiritual reason. Yeah. Could it be that yeah, we that's what I was thinking. Could it also be the elect who because it says in Matthew 24, 43, I was a stranger, you took me not in naked, and he clothed me not, sick and in prison, and he visited me not.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah, yeah. That's interesting. And wounded him and departed. Who so who wounded him? A certain man went down, fell among the thieves. The thieves stripped him, wounded him, departed, leaving him half dead. And then it makes sense because this is Christ comes and and he goes, No, no. Well, he comes, he suffers, he dies, he's wounded, but then it's his body, his body, the body of Christ. Wow. And and then these men, the priest comes, they don't take care of him, just like in Matthew 25. And the Levite comes, the religious people come, they should, they they had a duty to care for him, and they didn't.

SPEAKER_02

This kind of reminds me of the church, because you know, when the the faithful witnesses were killed, their bodies remained in, you know, in the streets. And and not only that, when you really think about it, when they departed, it kind of reminds me of when Satan casts out and says, Come out from him. You know, depart out. I wonder if it has anything to do with you know the emissaries of Satan or those who are supposed to be caretakers of the word of God are actually wounding the believers and leaving them for dead, so to speak.

SPEAKER_07

Well, I think in it could be half dead because in, you know, say prior to salvation, an elect, you're you you basically have life from the foundation of the world, but it's not applied. So we're children of wrath. We're we're we're dead. We're dead until the word of God is applied.

SPEAKER_05

Strangers follow strangers and uh orphans and uh widows until God saves us.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah. That reminds me of when Paul was left for dead. Remember, they stunned Paul, supposing he had been dead. I don't know if that relates, though. But similar um situation. They left him for dead.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah, so so so if we follow it, certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was, and when he saw him, he had compassion on him, went to him, bound up his wounds. This would be Christ in the elect, I guess, right? Because if the if the earlier one is him coming down, then the the the this is taking care of the man, and it's the Samaritan who sees him, has compassion, bound up his wounds. It's kind of like Isaiah 58, um, you know, pouring in oil and wine, set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn and took care of him. I think the inn would identify with like a church of God or the kingdom of heaven.

SPEAKER_02

You know that verse, I and them, I and them, thou and me, that they may be one in us. Kind of kind of has that kind of sense there.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah. And also, I just I don't know why I was thinking of Mary, which is anointing Jesus' feet, you know, um, and who's being prepared for his burial. I don't know why. I don't know if that fits washing the feet.

SPEAKER_07

But I just taking care of it. Then again in verse 35, it's the Samaritan who who on the morrow departed, took out two pence, gave to the host, said, Take care of him, whatsoever thou spendest more when I come again to pay thee. So there's Christ going back to heaven. Um, so yeah, they're you know, uh it I guess we have to be careful trying to work out who it who it is. You know, parable in in about fifteen minutes.

SPEAKER_02

We do have two callers. I think S D was first.

SPEAKER_01

Uh good evening, everyone. Uh uh can somebody read um uh first Chronicles chapter eleven, uh maybe verse um uh twenty-four.

SPEAKER_06

First Chronicles eleven verses twenty-four. Yes these these things did Baniah the son of Jehoiada and had it and had the name among the three mighties.

SPEAKER_01

Yes, David, this is uh uh a picture of the Lord Jesus Christ, but um can somebody talk about the three mightiest uh who represents uh spiritually these uh three mighties.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah, uh I haven't looked at that. Uh of course, you know, we uh yeah, I I don't know.

SPEAKER_01

And uh I kind of lean uh towards the um uh the the the the the you know the father, the son, and the holy spirit, but but uh that's as far as I'm gonna go.

SPEAKER_02

But uh yeah, and Chris, very quickly, it there's a lot of verses that say, but they could not attain unto the three. He says that a few times when referring to them. It's pretty interesting phrase.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah. Uh right, the next verse says that. Behold, he was honorable among the thirty, referring back to Benaniah, but attain not to the first three, and David set him over his guard. So, yeah, uh it could be. Um I mean, that is the first thing you think of. Three. Right might God is mighty, but uh yeah.

SPEAKER_03

Thanks, Lord. Thank you. Okay.

SPEAKER_07

Do we have another call or uh should we look at another one?

SPEAKER_06

I just wanted to mention one thing in that other passage with Samson. Um before you move if before you move on to a different um person. Well, two things. Uh one is you mentioned the eleven thousand. Oh the eleven hundred, that just made me think of um, even though it's times five, it made me think of the eleven thousand error, because that's when Christ was born. Eleven thousand and six. So I don't know if that if there's a connection there.

SPEAKER_07

Oh yeah, yeah. That's uh, you know, like Joshua 110, Joseph 110, 1100 pieces of silver is what you you know were directed there. Number 11, Joseph the 11th son, and Jesus born 7 BC after 11,000 years of history. So yeah, that that's what he come to do to to show forth the atonement, fifth number five, Lords of the Philistines. What are we saying, Bob?

SPEAKER_05

Uh the uh uh didn't the Israelites travel eleven days um Journey, yeah. Journey, yeah.

SPEAKER_07

I forget. Chapter one, I think, right? Or is that chapter thirty-two? I think it's one.

SPEAKER_04

Chapter one, maybe. Um I don't have my Bible.

SPEAKER_07

1 Verse 2. There are eleven days' journey from Horeb by the way of Meltsier unto Kadesh Bornea.

SPEAKER_06

Horeb, we were just reading about that, right? Horeb was when Samson Horeb represents the law of God. It's where the law was. Yeah. The other thing I was going to mention with Samson is um later on.

SPEAKER_07

Hold on a second, Carl. Just to mention this, because uh that that leaving it like that makes no sense. Um their 11 days' journey from Horeb where the law is given by the way of Mel Sierra unto Kadash Bornea. Kadash Bornea is where where the spies uh you know went into the promised land. And so, and you know, just to give proper credit, Mr. Camping pointed out that the law was given in the Garden of Eden first, and with the knowledge, the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. And Jesus really has everything to do with the kingdom of God, the promised land, the new heaven, new earth. And so from the time the law is given in in the creation in the garden until we come to Kadesh Barnia is 11,000 years of history. And so the 11 days would identify with 11,000 years. Okay.

SPEAKER_03

All right. I don't know. Please go ahead.

SPEAKER_00

Hello, okay. Um my comment um when Brother Chris says uh uh Esau, uh Jacob called Esau Lord, right? That remind reminded me of Sarah calling her husband Abraham Lord. But my question is, can a woman in the Bible represent Christ or be a type of Christ?

SPEAKER_03

Yes.

SPEAKER_00

Because I heard from Mr. Camping, our common mentor, that Naomi, Naomi became a type of.

SPEAKER_07

Well, I have Naomi. I have I have a woman on my list, but it's not Naomi. Esther. Well, uh uh Esther was kind of complicated to prove, so I didn't have Esther, but Esther would be also, I think, true.

SPEAKER_05

What about wisdom? It's per personified. Yeah, in the feminine.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah. Um, my my woman's Rachel. Because um remember Isaiah 53? It says in verse 7, and this the word Rachel. Rachel is like a you lamb. Her her name means you. Um in Isaiah 53, 7, EWE pressed and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth. He is brought as a lamb to the slaughter. It's not that word, and as a sheep, that's Rachel, and as a sheep before her shears is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. And once once we understand Rachel can be a type of Christ, then we understand um Matthew two. Matthew 2, when uh Herod, who's a picture of Satan, sent forth the soldiers to kill the children, in Matthew 2, 18, in Rama there was a voice heard, lamentation and weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children and would not be comforted because they are not. So Rachel weeping, but really uh it's Herod killing the children of Israel, and and remember when Christ looked down upon Jerusalem and he wept. So it is Jesus weeping over the fact that you know Herod Herod killing them is like Satan's loosed. And in Jeremiah 31, which is where that's taken from, in Jeremiah 31, it says in verse uh 15, thus saith Jehovah, a voice was heard in Rama, lamentation and bitter weeping. Rachel, weeping for her children, refused to be comforted for her children because they were not. And then it says a little bit further on in verse 17, and there is hope in thine inn, saith Jehovah, that thy children shall come again to their own border. So that the children are not. Remember Isaiah 49, when you have lost the children, and then you have other children after that? It says in Isaiah forty-nine and verse twenty, the children which thou shalt have after thou hast lost the other. And then in verse 21, thou shalt, then shalt thou say in thine heart, Who has begotten me these? Seeing I have lost my children and am desolate, a captive, removing to and fro. So the loss of the children, the weeping over the children, like Christ weeping over Jerusalem, pictures God losing the children of the church age and then gaining others of the great multitude. The more to just like in Isaiah 54, where it speaks of Sarah and Desolate, but more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife. So so there's a picture, and I don't know about like historically when we look at Rachel in marriage to Jacob, she would be a picture of the elect, and she has, well, maybe because she bears uh four, well, she bears two children, but she identifies with four children because two of her handmaid out of the twelve, and that's one-third of twelve, where Leah has bears six children and has two by her handmaid, and that's eight. So we see one-third, two-thirds, and Jacob loves Rachel. And God, God uh opens Leah's womb because she was hated. So we we have the loved with four and the hated with eight. Uh that would seem to fit, but it it would I I I don't know, maybe uh identify Rachel with uh the law of God, you know, the one bearing uh or or perhaps Christ there. I'm not sure.

SPEAKER_06

There uh in Genesis it does say um Rachel, his daughter, cometh with the sheep. And it also says Rachel came with his father's sheep, for she kept them. So it just reminds me, she's see it's like a shepherd to the flock. Yeah. Yeah. Just like um who else was of course David was shepherding sheep shepherd shepherding she I never knew Rachel was a picture, um I just never thought about that she could be a picture of Christ, so in that the instances you brought up.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

What about uh what about Adam back in uh Genesis 2?

SPEAKER_07

Yeah, yeah, that's a good one.

SPEAKER_05

The uh we read there in verse 21, and Jehovah caused uh a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept, and he took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh instead thereof, and the rib which Jehovah God had taken from man made he a woman and brought her unto the man. And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh. She shall be called woman because she was taken out of man. And uh, you know, that's a great picture of Christ. Uh when he was hanging on the cross, he was uh pierced uh in his in his side in the and the water and the blood came out, and and that that that that's a picture of the gospel that you know b brought uh salvation to God's elect.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, I'm sorry, Carl, go ahead. No, you well, yeah, I was just gonna mention Corinthians 15, 45 uh reaffirms that, and so it is written, the first man Adam was made a living soul, the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.

SPEAKER_07

I was I was gonna refer to Romans 5 uh uses the word figure. Who, referring to Adam, is the figure of him that was to come. So um I I'm not sure what that word is. I know uh was it in Hebrews 11? Somebody mentioned earlier, you know, Abraham received him in a figure. I know that word there is the Greek word for paraboles, parabole.

SPEAKER_06

I'm not sure. This one's actually typos. Oh, it's typos. Types and figures.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah, yeah. See, we're we're accurate when we we use that kind of language. Yeah, figures figures.

SPEAKER_02

You know, we have also uh a challenging one, uh, Solomon. Solomon is like an obvious type of Christ to those in the churches.

SPEAKER_03

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_02

Um, but at the same time, would would you say, uh, Chris, that there's a bit of a tragedy that the his wives took away his heart? Could there ever be any correlation that God's elect caused him to come under the wrath of God almost the same way these wives and concubines? Is there any correlation there, or we can't compare the two?

SPEAKER_07

Well, uh, you know, we we see Christ and Solomon um because he he built the house of God in Hebrews 3. Um Christ as a son over his own house, whose house are we? So so Christ built the house that is made up of everyone he saved. Solomon was used to build the temple, the house of God. Um Solomon had peace. He he was identified with peace. The name Solomon means peace, and Christ is our peace. Uh David was the man of war, Solomon peace. So there's definite pictures of uh of Jesus, but we we we have to just also realize that Christ uh can it is used as a figure of the gospel. You know, there will come false Christs, and that doesn't mean um people who will say or think they're Christ, although there are some people who aren't mentally stable, but that's not what God's concerned about. It's those who come with false gospels, like it says in 2 Corinthians 11, uh it says in verse 4, do we we're at the end?

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, let's let's just wrap up. Uh, folks, uh, we'd like to thank you for listening to the Bible Exalt program. At this time, we're gonna end the program, the one hour program for our radio listeners. But folks who are watching the live broadcast, we're gonna continue for a bonus half hour program. So until next time, may God richly bless you. Welcome back, folks, to the Bible Exalted program. This is our bonus half an hour. Tonight's topic is types and figures of Christ. Types and figures of Christ, this is our bonus half hour. We invite you to call in or comment. And Chris, please go ahead.

SPEAKER_07

Well, I was going to read 2 Corinthians 11 4. It says, For for if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if he receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him. So there's the synonyms of Jesus, spirit, and gospel. And when we hear of there will be Christ, you know, false prophet, false Christ, that means false gospels. And when we see in the life, say of Solomon, when he's doing well, when he's building the temple, when he's showing wisdom, especially at the beginning, he has wisdom. And remember they the two women harlots came before him for judgment, and they were fighting over the baby because the one harlot's baby she overlaid and died, and she took uh the other girl's baby, and it came before Solomon. I think it's in 1 Kings 3, and we we read he passed judgment, calling for the sword, cut the baby in half, and the woman whose baby it was pleaded with him, let her have it, and he he was able to discern and pass um wise judgment. That's a picture of Christ, it's a picture of God actually judging between the two women is like wheat and tears. And even the baby, there's another type of baby was a picture of Christ, yeah. You know, uh, remember as it Paul says, is Christ divided? So they had the baby, and uh Solomon said, Bring a sword to divide the baby, and and the one woman's heart yearned for her child. Do not divide my baby, do not kill my baby. And the other woman, yeah, cut it, yeah, divide it. And that shows the love of the elect for Christ. We don't want Christ divided, you know. We love the truth, and yet profess Christians when try deep down, no love of the truth. Yeah, what do I care on this little point of doctrine, that little point of doctrine? But yeah, that I never would have thought of that as a type of Christ. I mean, in the past, but I mean for this program as I was preparing, wasn't even wasn't even on my mind that the little baby, the little baby, actually there's other babies. There's the man-child in Revelation 12. And yeah.

SPEAKER_02

David's David's son, probably, with Bathsheba, possibly. I was thinking about that one, but I'm not sure. That would Uzza? I mean, I think it was Uriah the Hittite. He might be a picture of Christ as well. That's a tough one.

SPEAKER_07

That's that's a real difficult scriptural picture with David, who is most often a type of Christ. Nell's speaking of David, it's not that we come up with these things out of our own mind. Ezekiel 37 it says in verse 24, and David, my servant, shall be king over them. And and this is when God makes no more two nations, um, verse 22, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms anymore at all. So it's no longer wheat and tares in the church, just one people and one Lord, one king. David, my servant, shall be king over them, and they all shall have one shepherd. They shall also walk in my judgments and observe my statutes and do them, and they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob, my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt, and they shall dwell therein, even they and their children, and their children's children forever, and my servant David shall be their prince forever. Now, David is not going to be the prince over the people of God in the new heaven and new earth, not the man David, it's Christ. It's Christ, the beloved, who is our prince, eternal prince. Um, so yeah, that that and there's other references to David as this mysterious king that God refers to, and it's Christ.

SPEAKER_05

He was he was made king a thousand years exactly um before Christ was born.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07

It's 40 years.

SPEAKER_05

What about uh in um Hebrews 7 verses 1 to 3? You know, we read about Melchizedek, and you know, we thought, always thought that Melchizedek was a type of Christ, but then in verse 17 or 15 to 17, I'll read that. It says, and it is yet far more evident for that after the similitude of Melchizedek, there ariseth another priest who is made not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life. For he testifieth, thou, speaking about Christ, art a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.

SPEAKER_07

So it's kind of like reversed. Right. Who's the type and who's the figure? Yeah. And yeah, we have to be very careful with that. Right. We we cannot present, we can't include Melchizedek with David, with Joshua, with Joseph, with Samson. It Melchizedek's not a type and figure. Right. He's the reality. Yeah. Yeah, he's the actual one. It's Jesus as he entered into the human race, who's after the similitude of Melchizedek. That that you know, the talking about blowing your mind, that's what it does.

SPEAKER_06

Well, I was thinking it kind of makes sense because God used in one way because he used different men to represent Christ, like David and Joseph. So why not use himself, you know, as he becomes a man to typify Melchizedek, right? If he if he did that, if he allowed other men, you know.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah, Christ Christ is a picture of himself.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07

Christ in the flesh, in time in history, was a type and figure of Christ at the foundation of the world. I guess we could we could say that.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, since he since he came to basically to demonstrate what he had done, right? Yeah. So it kind of makes sense that he was a figure of Melchizedek.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. And also in Ecclesiastes 9, uh, verse 14 to 16, there's a short story of a city that was saved by a poor wise man. So I don't know if that that would be Christ.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah, that's Christ. That's Christ. So he's typified by a poor, unnamed wise man. Right. By his wisdom delivered the city.

SPEAKER_03

That's right.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah, no man remembered that same poor man. So that I guess that would go along with Proverbs 8, wisdom.

SPEAKER_05

Um I was doing I was doing some work on a ladder today, and it reminded me of Genesis 28, 12. And he dreamed, and behold, a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven. Wow. And behold, the angels of God ascending and descending on it. And that the ladder, he Christ is typified by the ladder.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah, that's a good one. That's a good one. And we know it because of John 1. John one in verse 51. Hereafter shall you see heaven open and the angels of God or messengers of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man. So not upon the ladder, but but it it's it's substituting the ladder for the Son of Man. So it's very clear type that that that ladder that goes to heaven, you you ascend upon is Christ, and uh, and that's why it's messengers, not angels.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, even in uh Genesis, it should be messengers instead of angels or malics.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah. And and we were lifted up in salvation in heavenly places to be seated in Christ and immediately dispatched back to earth to uh be messengers of the gospel in the day of salvation.

SPEAKER_06

It that word uh is a little bit off the subject. Um that word for figure that you had me look up.

SPEAKER_07

Oh oh yeah, the uh typos typos?

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, typos. It's interesting how it it's other ways it's translated is in sample pattern fashion. And just a few uh just one example that uh actually caught my eye was uh is it um let's see um just move my place here we go.

SPEAKER_03

Um where is that at?

SPEAKER_06

Uh okay, right here. First Corinthians 10 11. Uh or verse verse oh dude 10 6. First. Now these things were we we should not lust after other things as they also lusted. Um those actually says examples. The the one in uh 1 Corinthians 10 11 is in samples. It says, Now all these things happened unto them for in samples, and they are written for admonition upon who whom the ends of the world are coming. And that just made me think of them. Of course, the types of figures are examples or uh figures for us to uh to learn from.

SPEAKER_07

But um And notice notice ends plural.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07

Not the end of the world. Ends of the world. That definitely ain't how it's felt. Uh judgment to judgments.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah. It's also the word for print, and I I thought that was kind of interesting. Uh it's the it's the word when Thomas says, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print. It reminds me of like a shadow. It's it's it's uh what you know what it leaves behind or um like the print is uh an example of of what happened.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06

I just thought it was interesting how that it was used in that way.

SPEAKER_07

Isn't that the same with uh with Paul? Isn't it the word used with Paul? With print pattern. No, he well the typos.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, yeah. It's the same word, yeah. He's he's uh he's a pattern in First Timothy. Mm-hmm. It's yeah, one time it's two times it's translated as pattern, and that would be uh Titus 2.7 and also Hebrews 5-4. I don't know if these ones mention Paul.

SPEAKER_05

Um Isn't isn't Paul a type of Christ too in Romans 9 3 and 4? Um says, For I wish I for I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ, from my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh, who are Israelites, to whom pertaineth the adoption and the glory and the covenants and the giving of the law and the service of God and the promises. It sounds like it sounds like you know, he wished he were accursed, like like Christ was accursed at the foundation foundation of the world for his for his own kinsmen.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, um I didn't see one with Paul, but it does uh well what's the word um 1 Timothy 1 16?

SPEAKER_07

Um I obtain mercy that in me first Jesus Christ might show forth all long suffering for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting.

SPEAKER_06

Oh, it's maybe it's similar, 5296. That's uh hopo uh it has the word typos in it.

SPEAKER_07

Oh it it's a prefix attached.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, hypotitus okay. But the two that are just that same word, it's Titus 2.7, and all things showing thyself a pattern of good works and doctrine, showing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity, and then Hebrews 8.5, um, who serve unto thee unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle, for see, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern showed to thee in the mount.

SPEAKER_07

So that's that word for type, for example, or yeah, I don't I don't think we overuse the word type and figure. You know, when we're doing Bible studies and it comes up so often, but we can see it's the whole Bible.

SPEAKER_05

It's really the whole thing I was gonna point out that um we have a book at eBiblefellowship.org. And if you if you go to that website and click on the literature button on the home page, and then click on the button called books under where it says order free materials in orange font. The second book down is called Fifty Types and Figures Found in the Bible. And so it's not only talk giving types and figures about Christ, but all kinds of other types and figures that that are you know that I mean, and there's more than just the fifty that we list in the book too. Oh yeah, much more.

SPEAKER_06

There's a few other ones too. Well, I'll let you go, but I was just thinking, Carl.

SPEAKER_03

Go ahead.

SPEAKER_06

I was thinking of a hashware, but I I know that's more of a tick probably a picture of God, right, ruling over which God is Christ, but yeah, maybe specifically Christ. And of course Abraham is a picture of God, Father Abraham.

SPEAKER_07

And the Ark? Well, both arcs, right? The Noah's Ark is a picture of Christ. The Ark of the Covenant is Noah's Ark when it says in Genesis 6 14, pitch it within and without with pitch, the word atonement, atone it within and without those who enter into the ark were protected and delivered from the flood judgment, uh, just like everyone who enters into Christ. So Noah's Ark, I would say probably Noah also, at times, you know, a picture of Christ, but especially the Ark and the Ark of the Covenant, which had the Ten Commandments, it has everything to do with the Word of God, everything to do with Christ. And they they carried the ark crossing Jordan, the priests carried it, and the people followed about 2,000 cubits behind. And it pictures when the ark entered into the Jordan and the water stood up. Uh, Christ going to the cross in 33 AD, and about 2,000 years after the people of Israel would be the people of God. We go through the River Jordan. The River Jordan typifies hell, but it's it's dry. It's dry. There's the if it were wet, it would mean that uh we would we would be punished, just like crossing the Red Sea. They crossed over on dry ground. So because the ark is there and we follow about 2,000 cubits, we start crossing Jordan, and the other side is the promised land. Um so so both arcs would typify Christ.

SPEAKER_06

Regarding that, the crossing over Jordan, you know how God uses about 2,000, and uh that would represent 2011. Um I was wondering if when he does that, if he's highlighting actually two dates simultaneously. Because it because when he uses the word about, you know, we we understand it to be years, 2,000 cubits. It makes you think of well, what if he what if it was 2,000 exact years? Why not say 2,000 and say about? And I notice he seems to do something similar with the judges. Remember how it says about 450 years? But when you kind of like it, it's exactly 440. But it makes you think well, what happened on the 450th year, and then you find out, oh, that's when David was born. If you go 450 10 years later, it's the birth of David, you know, after that 440-year period, Saul is begins to reign in 1047. Well, exactly 10 years later, David is oh okay, yeah.

SPEAKER_07

I'm wondering well where David's life you're referring to. Okay.

SPEAKER_06

Because if you do go 450, 10 years later, David's born. And so he's so could God be doing two things at once, highlighting the possible.

SPEAKER_07

Um right. Well, by mentioning the number, he's making a point. He he is giving us he's giving us that's the biblical number, right? The 440 is hidden. Uh and and we didn't know until just recently, and we know now that the judges period began with Moses uh and went to Samuel. And and the problem in the past has always been when someone tried to calculate the judges period, they they would go, I think, from either 1407 or 1367 to Solomon. And it it clearly says in Acts 13 um about 450 years until Samuel the prophet. So you have to stop at Samuel when you stop and and he stopping uh Judge 1047 when Saul became king. And and when we go 440 years, it's when Moses was 40 in 1487, and he tried to judge, he tried to deliver Israel at that time. And what you're referring to is see, God didn't give us, he said above 450, which caused us to search, then we come to a period 440 years. And when we follow 440 years, it goes to Samuel. And if you keep going 440, 440, 440, it takes you to 2033. It's eight times 440, and it it takes us to the ultimate deliverance by the ultimate judge Christ on what biblical evidence is pointing to the end of time. But the 450, that would be interesting. I would, I don't know if you've done this, but maybe go also uh from David 450. Maybe try to follow that, see where that goes.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, it'd be interesting to learn. Well, it just made me think, well, the reason I thought of it is because um Mr. Camping pointed out in one of his studies about the the crossing of the Jordan. He said, and he said, okay, it could be Christ's birth or it could be the cross. But then he corrected himself. He said, No, it has to be the cross because you're going through hell, the Jordan River. And so he says you go, you know, God says about 2000, but it makes you think, well, what if we go 2,000 years? That would land on 2033. And so he said, but he's not saying exactly he's saying about. So it almost feels like he's highlighting two different dates 2011, which would be about, but what if he did go 2000? That would be 2033.

SPEAKER_07

Right. And sometimes people um they they point out it says about, and you're saying 2030, you know, 33, 2033 is exactly 2,000 years. You're wrong because it says about, but what they don't understand is in 2011, May 21, 2011, uh Judgment Day came and we started crossing Jordan at that point, and that is less than 2,000 years. Uh, and and so by the conclusion, if everything you know happens as we expect, by the conclusion in 2033, that that's something different. You know, um, they they they were tooth about 2,000 cubits behind the ark and they started moving towards it. And so they uh when they got to the point of the ark and crossed, it was a you know from the distance of about 2,000. And likewise that would identify with 2011. But yeah, yeah, I I think that's a good point that God could bring up the number. He he could have been specific, he could have been exact.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, but he's very quickly, we have the husbandman, we also have Elihu. He's one of the friends of Job. He was the last to speak before God appeared.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah, husbandman, Elihu. Uh there's a lot of different men. Um, Boaz in Ruth, the kinsman redeemer, uh Barak in Judges 4 and 5 with uh 10,000. He and Barak means lightning. Deborah, right? And she's the word with Deborah, Deborah's the word. Deborah would be a picture of Christ, right? She's a second word. She's a picture of the word. What about Jephthah's daughter? Who?

SPEAKER_02

Um you think that's a possibility?

SPEAKER_07

Oh, I don't know. I don't know. Jefftah, yeah. I don't know about his daughter. Well, but she was offered, right? Right. She was offered. And the only daughter, yeah. Yeah, that too. So that that's about four or five women already, right? It was Esther, Rachel.

SPEAKER_06

Uh Esther, that one I don't understand. The one that's Esther. I can understand it being interceded.

SPEAKER_02

She interceded on the people.

SPEAKER_07

She she gave uh Haman's house to Mordecai. So how could that be the elect? Then and Haman's house represents the world, right? It's the kingdom of Satan. How could the elect, if Esther typifies the elect, give the world to Mordecai is also a picture of Christ. Um so it that that's what got me thinking about it.

SPEAKER_03

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_05

We can't close the program without Jonah. I don't think anybody needs to Jonah. Yeah, there you go. Jonah chapter one. Matthew uh chapter two. Huh? Yeah. I'm gonna read Matthew 12, 39, and 40. But he answered and said unto them, and an evil and an adulterous generation seeketh after a sign, and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas, who for as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly, so shall the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. And the whale's the whale's belly, we've learned, is a picture of, well, it's the womb, which is a picture of hell being under the earth of God, the grave. Yeah. And uh, and so is three days and three nights in the heart of the earth, which is what Christ suffered uh you know, be you know, during the whole demonstration of the of uh uh the atonement.

SPEAKER_07

See how types and figures open up the Bible? The and and it shows us, you know, Christ spoke in parables. Without a parable, he did not speak, because uh, you know, you could hear you could read commentaries and theologians, and they'll go on and on about Jonah the rebellious prophet. And now, as soon as we we realize he's a type of Christ, now now listen to this in Jonah 1, um, in verse 11, then said they unto him, What shall we do unto thee that the sea may be calm unto us? And the sea represents the wrath of God. For the sea wrought and was tempestuous. And he said unto them, Take me up and cast me forth into the sea, so shall the sea be calm unto you. For I know that for my sake this great tempest is upon you. And nevertheless the men rode hard to bring it to the land, but they could not, for the sea wrought and was tempestuous against them. Wherefore they cried unto Jehovah and said, We beseech thee, O Jehovah, we beseech thee. Let us not perish for this man's life, and lay not upon us innocent blood, for thou, O Jehovah, hast done as it pleased thee. So they took up Jonah and cast him forth into the sea, and the sea ceased from her raging. Let us not perish for this man's life. It's so clear when you have the right mindset and you're approaching it, like from Matthew 12, Jesus said, As Jonah, so the Son of Man. Jonah's a type of Christ, and they have to cast him into the sea, so the seas come to them, let us not perish. It's a beautiful picture. Um, so so's Joshua, so is Joseph, so is David, and uh and all these men, types and figures of the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus said in the um how did how did Luke 24? Luke 24 uh verse forty-four and forty-five, and he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses and in the prophets, and in the Psalms concerning me. Then open he their understanding that they might understand the scriptures, they might see that the rock was Christ, smote twice, the manna is Christ, the um this and that is Christ, everything's Christ, I think, in the Bible.

SPEAKER_02

Uh and the mariner said uh that we not, you know, harm innocent blood, and that's what Judas said. I've betrayed innocent blood. So you can see that uh sense has a lot to do with Christ. He's an innocent man.

SPEAKER_06

I was gonna mention um this is just going back to the Jordan Crossing, is uh because you know, we've seen several time paths from the Jordan Crossing that take you to 2033. Like um the we have the you know the about 2000, where it takes you to 2011, but also considering that it makes you think of 2033, and then you have the uh um um the four uh four thirty four thirty four thirty um that takes you to twenty thirty-three, so it makes you wonder um with with the dates, since we know the dates of when they crossed over the Jordan. That was I think Mr. Campion had said it was March 25th, and he tied it with the celestial clock, and then he said uh four days later they celebrate Passover, which is March 29th. Well, isn't that interesting that as soon as they cross over the Jordan they're celebrating Passover? So I wonder if that's something worth considering for 2033 regarding Passover. If if that picture is still like in view once they finish crossing over.

SPEAKER_07

So I have one one last character. True historical character. Nehemiah, the cupbearer of the king, uh Christ drinking the cup in the garden. Father, may this cup pass for me. And and the cupbearer was the one who who if there was poison in the king's cup, he would die. And Nehemiah was commissioned to build the wall, the wall of salvation. In in the Bible, when another type in figure, if you look up wall, it refers to wall of salvation, and Nehemiah returned to Jerusalem and built the wall in 52 days, 52 pointing to um 52 weeks or the acceptable year of the Lord, the day of salvation, the the wall of salvation is built.

SPEAKER_06

13 times four. And Isaiah 60 mentions I think walls. They should build up walls, right? Isaiah 60. Wall for bulwarks, yeah.

SPEAKER_02

I think something like that. Yeah. Well, gentlemen. Um anything else before we consider uh wrapping up?

SPEAKER_07

I I I think this was a good program uh to give uh Bible students some uh you know just general help uh with because we touched upon so many things. And and what one last thing I would say is if Joseph is a type of Christ, David's a type of Christ, Jonah's a type of Christ, the rock is Christ, uh, what about all the other things that God refers to in the historical account or in the passage? See, we we have to be consistent. And this is what made Mr. Camping's Bible studies Stand out and be so excellent was he realized that you have to look for the spiritual meaning if you see the rock is Christ, who's Moses? What's the rod as Moses smites the rock twice? And that's where doctrine comes out. Moses would be a figure of the law, the rod, the word or law of God. Smite, kill, the rock is Christ twice. Two times Christ died? Yes, according to the Bible, the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world in eternity past. And he was the Lamb, as John the Baptist called out, behold the Lamb of God taketh away the sins of the world on his, you know, eventually on his way to the cross in time in history. So that is that the help. These are uh this is kind of like a starter package. You know, you hear that? You these these big types and figures will open up a portion, of really a small portion, of the whole of the mystery of the spiritual riches that are in each verse in the Bible. So these are big helps. And that book, types and figures, will give you some other assists and helps, but that's really where the work starts. And now, why is this word used? What does this represent? And everything has to fit, everything has to harmonize, even in the spiritual conclusions that we're uh, you know, by God's grace coming to see.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, just like with Samson, yeah, you mentioned him carrying the gates. You know, I I for for a moment I thought, could that be Christ carrying the cross? But then it didn't really make sense, you know, because gates don't really tie in with the cross, but it just because he was going up the hill, it just made me think of Calvary. But uh but then you pointed out, no, that's the gates of hell. And so it it it it fits better, and you can see the puzzle uh developing more.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah, and and uh with uh Delilah, you know, we we see various pieces. The 1100, that you know, leaven, we think Christ's first coming, uh the five lords of the Philistines, we know they're evil, they're they're unsaved, and they're lords of of this enemy of God's people, and and and so forth, and and then Sorek, the word that we might just pass right by, that's the key. Oh, sorek, the noble vine, the noble vine identifies with Israel. And then we see, oh, Delilah is in Sorek, she's in the noble, she's Israel, she's a type of Israel, and all kinds of things, you know, of truth um begin to come forth.

SPEAKER_02

It's no longer personal, and people can't use it for you know sinful terms if they look at it in a practical manner. Um they can miss they can misuse the Bible and use it for personal gain if they're looking at it on face value and not looking for the type or figure. So that's a big pitfall when people don't look for spiritual meaning. They can come away with a wrong practical understanding.

SPEAKER_07

Yeah, they're they're also impoverishing themselves. Um, you know, uh in my life too, for a while, the Bible, certain parts of the Bible I were were boring. They were boring, like Jeremiah. I remember going to work on the subway and reading Jeremiah and falling asleep. It was like nothing, and and it's not until you because that's that's history of people long ago. What does that have to do with today? And and then when you see, well, Jeremiah is one of the most what God has done in opening the scriptures at the time of the end, Jeremiah tells us about the end of the church age. The the whole book, it's God judging the church and going to Babylon has all these uh types and figures, and it it is very much for us today when we do what God would have us to do, and what the reason why Christ spoke in parables. If anyone has ever wondered about that, why did Jesus always speak in parables and he's the word made flesh? The word always spoke in parables, get it? It's you know, I hope it clicks. The Bible's the word, the Bible's always in parables, and so to really um understand the Bible, we have to look on that level. Well, I mean, yeah, we read the Bible, but that's not the end of it. That's not the end of it. That that's the very first stage, and and then we have to dig into it by God's grace. And you know, e Bible Fellowship, just like Family Radio with Mr. Camping, we're we're performing that kind of service with programs like this to give hints, and and by God's grace, he's opened up our eyes to certain types and figures. And and now uh, you know, you can check it out. Once you check it out, put it in your Bible. Put it in your Bible. David's a type, and this verse says Isaac's a type, and and you know, a lot of verses were mentioned tonight. It will be a big help. And you might just be reading a passage and all of a sudden something we didn't even mention, because you're looking at this one as a type of Christ and that over here, and then it occurs to you, because the Lord could easily open your understanding, that this also is a spiritual picture. I see how that fits with this. And and that's how we study the Bible.

SPEAKER_02

Right. Well, uh, another great program, blessed and privileged to be uh part of this uh tonight's segment, which is types and figures of Christ. Uh we have come to the end of the program. You can tell a friend and loved ones, and we're looking forward to seeing you again, Lord willing, on another eBible fellowships, the Bible Exalted program. Until next time, friends, may the Lord richly bless you during this time of judgment. Good night. You've just heard a pre recording of an e Bible fellowship panel discussion.
