Types & Shadows in Growth Process

In the letter to the Colossians Paul noted that many of the institutions and commands revealed under the Law of Moses were, “things which are a mere shadow of what is to come; but the substance belongs to Christ” (Colossians 2:17).  The same thrust is found in Hebrews 10:1 “For the Law, since it has only a shadow of the good things to come and not the very form of things”.  In reference to the tabernacle in the Old Testament, the Hebrew writer notes that the Levitical priests served, “a copy and shadow of the heavenly things” (Hebrews 8:5). 

Adam and Christ:  Romans 5:12-21; 1 Corinthians 15:21-22, 45-49

Through Adam, sin came into the world, through Christ the forgiveness of sins came into the world (Romans 5:15).  Through Adam came condemnation, through Jesus comes justification(5:18).

The Flood and the Final Judgment:  2 Peter 3:3-9/Matthew 24:37-39

The Waters of the Flood and Baptism:  1 Peter 3:20-21
