Week 13 Biblical Theology
Seeing Christ in the Old Testament
Focus: Types, shadows, and prophecies
Theme: How the OT points forward to Christ without flattening the text or forcing allegory.
Scripture is one story centered on Christ.
Key question: How can Christ be present in texts written centuries before the incarnation?

Three Ways the OT Points to Christ

• Promise and prophecy
• Typology and patterns
• Narrative trajectory

What Typology Is and Is Not

• Typology grounded in history and escalation.
• Adam and Christ
• Exodus and salvation

What typology avoids:

• Hidden meanings
• Imaginative symbolism

Example
What does this text reveal about God before it reveals Christ?

Christ fulfills the Old Testament by completing its patterns, not bypassing its meaning.
