Types & Shadows

• The Lamb

  Type · Foreshadow · Fulfillment

  Genesis · Exodus · Isaiah · John · Revelation

  OT×3NT×2BoM

  The sacrificial lamb established at Mount Moriah, formalized in the Passover, personified in the Suffering Servant, and finally fulfilled in Christ — the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

• The Three-Day Sign

  Descent · Silence · Emergence

  Genesis · Jonah · Matthew · 3 Nephi · Revelation

  OT×2NT×2BoM

  Three days of enclosure, descent, or silence followed by emergence is the canonical sign of death and resurrection — the only sign Christ promised to give his generation.

• The Brazen Serpent

  Lifting Up · Looking · Healing

  Numbers · Alma · Helaman · John

  OTBoM×3NT

  Moses lifts a serpent of brass in the wilderness — whoever looks, lives. What appears to be the instrument of death becomes the source of life. Christ identifies this as his own pattern explicitly.

• Water from the Rock

  Strike · Flow · Living Water

  Exodus · Numbers · Psalms · John · 1 Corinthians

  OT×2NT×3

  The rock struck in the wilderness produces water for Israel. Paul identifies that rock as Christ. John records Christ's own claim to be the source of living water. The smitten rock is the smitten Christ.
