This is part 1 of a 2 part study of the rampant typology we see in Hebrews chapter 11. It's pretty amazing stuff and it really blesses and excites me to study it and share it with you! We will look at typology in Creation, in Abel, in Enoch, in the flood and the Ark, in Abraham, in Sarah and more!

I present this in Christian brotherhood to my fellow believers. I am not intending to attack or misrepresent Calvinism but to offer an honest biblical critique of what I see as one of the major pillars in Calvinism. I welcome responses and encourage them to stay on topic and to focus on clear exegesis. However, if a comment or response ignores what I am saying and how I am building my case biblically I probably won't give it much time.

Aron Ra (well known internet Atheist) made a video about how the Bible has no fulfilled prophecy. This is my response. We will be looking at what he said in context and will see that the Bible withstands the many criticisms he has for it. We will look at the prophecy of the suffering servant in Isaiah 53, the prophecy of the crucifixion in Psalm 22 and of the destruction of Tyre in Ezekiel 26. I ask that the comments reflect mutual respect in the midst of disagreement. Thank you.

Some think that New Testament writers abuse the Old Testament when it comes to interpreting prophecy. In this study you will see that there are different kinds of fulfilled prophecy and why it is sometimes hard to tell how an Old Testament passage is connected to Jesus. Understanding direct fulfillment, typological fulfillment, double fulfillment and analogical fulfillment is key to being able to understand how the New Testament handles fulfilled prophecy.

A survey of the many ways in which Joseph IS and MIGHT be a type of Christ. This is just one of the many messages in the series "How to Find Jesus in the Old Testament". HERE is the study on Abraham offering Isaac in Genesis 22 - https://youtu.be/vNY6M89Ts_4

This is done in love and is meant to help people who have been decieved by Joo-Cheol Kim. Joo-Cheol Kim is the leader and driving force behind the rising cult, the "World Mission Society Church of God". In this video I will tell you what Joo-Cheol Kim teaches and refute it biblically. We will analyze his teachings about Passover, Christmas, heresy and the cross as well as expose exactly how he twists the truth. I don't want to be uncharitable here but this guy is radically lying to people and leading them away from Jesus Christ and his lies need to be exposed.

How many types of Christ are there and how pervasive are they? What New Testament teaching reveals about typology and foreshadowing of Christ is possibly the most neglected are of Bible study today. Which is sad, because it very much has to do with the foundational purpose of the Bible. Do you want to learn to think biblically about everything?

Examining the Bible to find out who Melchizedek was and how he relates to Jesus. Some think he was a Christophany and others that he is just a type of Christ. I will lay out some reasons for why I see him as a type of Christ and we will learn some principles to add to our tool kit for finding other types of Christ in the Old Testament. Melchizedek shows up out of nowhere in Genesis 14 and then, in Psalm 110 we hear a promise from God that the Messiah will be a priest after the order of Melchizedek. Finally, the book of Hebrews offers us divinely inspired commentary on the nature of Melchizedek, and that is where the real debate lies. Is Hebrews speaking of Melchizedek in a literal sense or in a literary sense when it says "without father without mother and without genealogy"?

Methodical study of multiple passages in the Old Testament that seem to present examples of Christ showing up before the incarnation. This is part 5 of the long series "How to Find Jesus in the Old Testament" which seeks to build a biblically sound case for seeing Jesus in typology and other ways throughout the Old Testament. Here is a link to the full playlist (which is being added to almost every week at the time I write this). https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZ3iRMLYFlHsHyvMtfgOgSPU6zEnCvxUO Here's the link to the video I mentioned where I explain how Christophanies do not challenge the doctrine of the incarnation. https://youtu.be/ryCyQ4N08Q0

How can this “Angel of the Lord” be YHWH and not be YHWH at the same time? This is a thoughtful survey of the passages of the Bible where the angel of the LORD shows up and we seek to identify exactly WHO he is based on clues from the text.

How is the bronze serpent a type of Christ? Jesus said, “as moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness so the Son of Man must be lifted up”. We can learn how to see types of Christ when we see that Jesus is not only giving us an analogy but wonderful insights into how we can discover types of Christ in the Old Testament.

In this series we will seek to understand how the New Testament finds Jesus in the Old Testament in order to learn principles that will guide us in our own reading of the Old Testament so that we can discover Jesus there as well. This message is about laying a foundation for seeing Jesus in the Old Testament by surveying what Jesus said about Jesus in the Old Testament and seeing how the book of Acts models preaching Jesus from the Old Testament. In fact, all of the New Testament seems to be built on the idea that Jesus IS in the Old Testament. This is the first video in a series on how to find Jesus in the Old Testament.
