Sabbath a Type or not?
Posted: October 22, 2008 Filed under: Just for Fun 1 CommentThe events of the Old Testament were seen as part of the story, a prefiguration, with the events of Christ’s life. The technical name for seeing the New Testament in the Old Testament is called typology.
The doctrine of typology is best defined and most succinctly by Paul in Colossians 2:16-17
“Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ.”
Just a thought…
yeah i’m sure the puritans never noticed that one….
