Types of Christ:

>Adam - Romans 5:12-21; first man and "son" of God, plunged world into sin Christ reversed this.

>Abel - Killed by his own brother for being pleasing to God.

>Enoch - He walked with God and was taken by him.

>Noah - 1 Peter 3:20-21; saved the human race from complete destruction.

>Melchizedek - Hebrews 7:17; offered up bread and wine, Christ is a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.

>Isaac - Abraham almost offers up Isaac as a sacrifice to God, foreshadowing Christ's own sacrifice.

>Jacob/Israel - Jesus's twelve disciples correspond to twelve tribes of Israel, Jesus is head of the Church and the Church is Israel.

>Joseph - Hated by his own brothers and treated terribly by them but forgives them anyway.

>Moses - Christ is the new Moses having introduced the law of grace.

>Joshua - Conquering Canaan = Conquering sin

>Samson - Sacrificed himself for greater good.

>Samuel - Both born in extraordinary ways.

>David - Matthew 1, Luke 3; Jesus is the son of David, born in the city of David in Bethlehem, literally the Psalms written by David and many are from the perspective of the Messiah, King of Israel, David promised Messiah comes from his royal line.

>Elisha - Successor to former preacher (Elijah and John the Baptist), did really similar miracles and had similar ministries.

>Hezekiah - Matthew 1:23; prophecies about both often overlap and are dual in nature, King of Judah, both are righteous.

>Josiah - King of Judah, foreshadows heavenly Kingdom.

>Jeremiah - Both severely persecuted for preaching the truth about God.

>Jonah - Matthew 12:40; Jonah in belly of fish for 3 days then vomited onto land = Jesus in the tomb for 3 days and then resurrected from the dead.

>Zerubbabel - Prophecies overlap and are dual of nature, governor of the Jews.

>Joshua the Priest - Please see Zechariah 6:11-12, names correspond (Jesus is Greek for the Hebrew Joshua), Joshua is prophesied to represent the Messiah

>Judas Maccabeus - Cleansed the Temple in certain respects, sacrificed themselves bravely.

The Old Testament is about Jesus and the figures and events that appear in it often represent Christ and his actions.

Great list anon. I am of the believe that the entire OT could accurately be replaced by Our Lord's Holy Name. The more it is studied, the more Christ is found, the more Christ is found, the more that you find that to be true, and the more you study it.

Good list. Forgot Job though, but other than that good.

Also interestingly, Elisha means "God is salvation" and Jesus's name means "Yahweh is salvation." Pretty interesting given how so similar they are as you pointed out in their miracles and entire ministry, plus being preceded by another prophet and in fact the NT explicitly typifies Elijah as a type to John the Baptist.

Whenever I find it difficult to interpret a specific passage I always try to read it in the light of the New Testament in order to better understand it. Really the entire Old Testament should be read in light of it as the Old Testament really is one big foreshadow for the New.

Ahh you're right, I should've included Job. Him going from wealth (pre-existence) to a humble state (incarnation) full of suffering (crucifixion) and calling out to God (Eli, Eli, Lama Sabachthani?) and then in the end being completely redeemed (resurrection and ascension). I love it!

And also, that's really interesting with prophet Elisha. I love the way God works things out.

Good list, although some of them are types of Christ in more ways. The manner of Samson's birth is clearly a prefiguration of Christ's birth from the Theotokos for instance (and in fact, every instance of the angel of the Lord announcing an unlikely birth is).

Also, you forgot Job. According to my catechesis, Job suffering unfairly before being restored to health is a prefiguration and an announcment of Christ's own suffering. Job's suffering reflected the global suffering of mankind, and made no sense. But it announced that there would be a man upon whom the suffering of the world would occur, and who would give sense to all the suffering, and furthermore, through his suffering, abolish suffering itself. Job was pushed to the limit of suffering, but Jesus broke the limit and gave meaning to our suffering.

Also, Daniel - him in lion den and Christ in grave are parallels

And younger Tobias. His whole character is so clear type of Christ, even unto smallest details such as his dog and fish being Christ's symbol that it's truly amazing.

>Asks God for the strength to kill the Canaanites

>God gives him the necessary strength

>He totally didn't approve of it though

Its this type of flimsy speculation that produces books like Caesar's Messiah which proposes that the gospels are a retelling of Jospehus' Jewish War, or all the rumination over bible verse numbers.

The first person to relate everything Jesus did and said back to the Old Testament and Old Covenant… was Jesus.
