Typology

Jump to: navigation, search

Typology ("study of types") refers to the Christian concept of Old Testament scenes and characters ("type") as foreshadowing those in the New Testament ("antitype") and was a commonly used device within the broader artform of Christian iconography. It was typically illustrated through the juxtaposition of imagery from the former with that of the latter (type and antitype), for example the depiction of David's fight with Goliath mirrored by Christ's resistance to Satan.

Typology was a popular and enduring form of religious illustration and was ubiquitous across Western art throughout the Middle Ages. It is an important part of Bible hermeneutics.

Levitical sacrifices as types of Jesus

Allusions and paronomasia of meaning

The narrative accounts of the passion, death and resurrection of Jesus in the The Gospels, and in particular the Epistle to the Hebrews, feature numerous direct and indirect quotes and allusions to prophetic types seen in the Old Testament sacrifices commanded in the books of Leviticus and Numbers. Typology includes the paronomasia of the meaning of the particular Hebrew words for the various sacrificial offerings: bulls, bullocks, lambs, goats, doves, pigeons, fine flour, bread, wine, oil, incense, and even the act of laying hands on the sacrifice.

The everlasting covenant of sacrifice perpetually continued in the Eucharist

Christians who believe that the Eucharist manifests the Real presence of the Lord Jesus Christ[1], see in the Levitical sacrifices a foreshadowing of the banquet of real communion with the living substance of the body and blood of the Lord, as St. Paul so eloquently expressed in his First Epistle to the Corinthians[2], and as explicitly pointed out by the writer to the Hebrews to those who doubt[3]. The New Testament presents Jesus as the one true "apostle and High Priest of our confession"[4]. He is seen as the one, unique, perpetually enduring flesh and blood sacrifice for sin "slain from the foundation of the world"[5], "for without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins"[6]. The giving of a portion of the sacrifices from the altar of sacrifice to the worshipers to be eaten as a partaking of the sin offerings and peace offerings and votive offerings in the covenant of God is regarded by these Christians as a divinely revealed type fulfilled in the divinely revealed antitype of partaking of the bread of life in the communion of the Lord's Supper, the substance of the flesh and blood of Christ himself as promised by him in the sixth chapter of the Gospel of John[7] as part of the New covenant of the Lord[8]. The sacrifice instituted by Christ Jesus—"this is my body, this is my blood"—at his Last Supper in the Cenacle[9], and permanently executed in a bloody manner in the universe of time and space "once and for all" on the Cross[10], is seen by them as perpetuated in the timeless eternity of the everlasting "now" of God present through all ages in all places[11] with the offering also of incense in worship by the nations[12], so that all believers in him may "believe without seeing" and still be able to "see the Son"[13], "behold the Lamb of God", and "partake of the divine nature", by eating his flesh and drinking his blood in an unbloody manner as divine food given to them by Jesus himself personally present under the appearance of bread and wine[14]
—"The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat? Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him. As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me. This is the bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever."
—"We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle"[15].

Christians who believe that Jesus was speaking only metaphorically in a vividly symbolic figure of speech see the Old Testament bloody animal sacrifices offered with bread and wine in atonement for sin as a type of the antitype of their final fulfillment in the reality of his unique, "once and for all" bloody sacrifice of himself on the altar of his crucifixion on the Cross. The Eucharistic banquet of communion with him in the celebration of the Lord's Supper is firmly held by them to be a purely spiritual and symbolic memorial[16] of his Last Supper with the Twelve Apostles and a representation of his sacrifice as an ordinance of the Christian Church[17], and a witness of the New Covenant in his blood which completes, fulfills and does away with the ritual sacrifices of the Old Covenant of Moses and Israel. The sacrifices of praise and thanksgiving and good works in worship of God are still acceptable to Him[18]. But there remains no longer any sacrifice for sin[19]. If there was of necessity any need for a repetition of his sacrifice for sins, he would have had to suffer repeatedly since the foundation of the world[20]—"but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many"—"Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin"[21]. For this reason they see no need for priests offering ritual sacrifices on an altar, which of themselves cannot take away sins[22], and for this reason they see the doctrine of offering the sacrifice of Jesus repeatedly on an altar as the sin of falling away from Christ[23] through a syncretistic compromise with pagan superstition. For these Christians the one true altar of sacrifice is Jesus Christ himself through whom we have direct access to God the Father.[24]

The eternal covenant of Levitical sacrifice

The Torah of Moses declares that the Law of the Lord is an "everlasting covenant", which was first established in Genesis with Noah and the bow of the Lord in the clouds[25], with Abraham and the mark of circumcision in flesh[26], and with Moses and the descendants of Israel/Jacob with an everlasting priesthood[27] having everlasting ordinances and statutes of obedience and an everlasting statute of atonement for sins[28], and with David[29] and his house (his descendants) and his throne, a covenant that the LORD commanded for "a thousand generations, an everlasting covenant"[30].

Jeremiah declared the word of the Lord that he would "make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah"[31], but nowhere does the prophet say that the covenant they broke was cancelled or "disannulled"[32], only that a new covenant would be made. Even St. Paul stated that the Law of Moses was "established" by faith in Christ, not done away. "Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law."[33] Jesus himself declared, "Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven."[34]

It is important to emphasize that the covenant God made with Israel at Sinai was binding only on the people of Israel. The Gentiles were not included.

Christian doctrine in the New Testament teaches that in the Person of the Incarnate Word of God, Jesus Christ, Lord and Savior and only-begotten Son of God the Father[35], and in his blood sacrifice, all the sacrifices of the Levitical covenant, everlastingly established by an everlasting covenant for a thousand generations, everlastingly continue to be fulfilled in one unbroken eternal sacrifice without ceasing, forever, in the body of his one unique blood sacrifice of himself as High Priest and Head of the human race on the cross in full reparation for all the outrages committed against the dignity of God and for the redemption of the sins of the whole world[36]. According to St. Paul, all who are united to him in baptism share in his eternal sacrifice to God[37] in being offered up to God as living sacrifices[38]. And in the communion of his body and the communion of his blood[39] all those who believe in him and eat his flesh and drink his blood according to his promise have eternal life[40], and according to St. Peter they partake of the divine nature[41], in a fulfillment of the type of the eating from the altar of sacrifice under the Levitical covenant of Moses in the Tabernacle and the Temple of Jerusalem. The prayer of those who have been redeemed from the wrath to come on the ungodly[42] by "pleading the blood of Jesus" contains the reality of offering up humble acknowledgement of the full satisfaction of the sacrifice of Christ in atonement for their souls, in the continuously ongoing and unbroken eternal fulfillment of an everlasting statute of atonement for sins[43].

The types of the covenant of sacrifice fulfilled by the antitype of Christ

The Hebrew alphabet has no vowels. Every letter is a consonant. Many Hebrew words can be sounded in various ways by the speaker, allowing for latitude in interpretive readings by the speaker. This often presents opportunity to alter the meaning of the reading by changing the sound. Occasionally this can be done as a form of paronomasia as a form of humor, but more seriously to open up depths of meaning in the inspired text that traditional readings do not reveal. The ancient Hebrew text of the Torah which is read in the synagogue originally had no markings indicating how the words should be pronounced. The Hebrew scriptures normally read aloud with melodic intonation by cantors in the synagogue, who realized their obviously evident potential for clearly manifesting prophetic witness to the arrival of the Messiah in the person of Jesus of Nazareth, saw in the text opportunities to either support the claims of the Jewish Christians, that the Law and the Prophets and the Psalms testified to Jesus as the Anointed of God, the Prophet foretold by Moses, or to negate and even oppose them by the way the scriptures of Israel were read with intonated inflections that would not suggest such an interpretation. The leading scholars of Israel, distressed by the use of the Septuagint by the Nazarene sect as an aid in converting the people to belief in Jesus of Nazareth, after the destruction of the temple and the city of Jerusalem, determined to reject it in favor of only those scriptures written in Hebrew or Aramaic, which were written in Palestine before the time of Ezra, and which they believed supported the Torah of Moses. Then after the development of the Talmud, scholars known as Masoretes set themselves the task of standardizing the intonation of the Hebrew text of the Torah in particular, and more generally the whole of the more clearly defined Jewish canon of the Tanakh, so that the people in the synagogue would be spared intonations of the readings which sounded too clearly like prophecies of Jesus. For this reason various diacritical marks were added to the text of the scriptures indicating the approved traditional method of intonation and pronunciation in accordance with the traditional readings of Judaism. Also various corrections to the text were made, to remove or revise and correct all readings they considered to be corruptions of the text. The result is known today as the Masoretic Text. When the Torah, and in particular the book of Leviticus with its regulations of sacrificial offerings to God, is read with the consonantal text only, without the Masoretic diacritical marks, those established and accredited scholars who believe in Jesus, and who truly know the ancient Hebrew language, are easily able to see even more clearly portrayed the vividly evident typology of Christ Jesus in the scriptures of Israel. The connotations of the words denoting each of the sacrifices of Israel as types of the expected Messiah of Israel are rich with meanings pointing to the Sacrificial High Priestly Lordship of Jesus as the true antitype of their fulfillment.

While the various forms of the Greek words for eating έσθίω esthio and φάγω phagō throughout the New Testament both admit a literal and figuratively metaphorical meaning, τρώγων trogon does not, being a literal, boldly intense, physical concrete term only, and not a figure of speech—in the New Testament it appears only here in the Greek text of John 6:53-58 as an emphatic statement by Jesus, and is found without exception in all of the extant Greek manuscripts of this passage.

Conversely, a picture of a past event can years later induce in the viewer who was present at the time the vivid sensation of aromas smelled on that occasion just as vividly as if they are truly present there again.
  46. "bring to the present, make vividly present, reliving (again)" is a meaning included in most authoritative Greek-English lexicons of the 18th, 19th, 20th, 21st centuries but not included by James Strong in the appendix to his 19th century Concordance, A Concise Dictionary of the Words in the Greek/New Testament with their Renderings in the King James Version and its later updates.

Transubstantiation and the Real Presence, by Matt Slick - Christian Apologetics & Research Ministry (carm.org) —"the Roman Catholic view is a violation of Levitical law...It is a violation of the incarnation...the Lord's Supper is not a sacrifice of Christ". Matt Slick cites Leviticus 17:4 as a prohibition against eating blood in any form which was still in effect before the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus.

Anamnesis - Q+A (stpaulsparish.org) pdf Lutheran article —"Rev. Dr. Frank C. Senn has written, “This Greek word is practically untranslatable in English. 'Memorial', 'commemoration', 'remembrance' all suggest a recollection of the past, whereas ananamnesis means making present an object or person from the past. Sometimes the term 're-actualization' has been used to indicate the force of anamnesis.” "

The Institution of the Mass - Catholic Answers (catholic.com) —"[The Church] does not teach that the Mass is a re-crucifixion of Christ."
