SCRIPTURAL TYPES

 

A biblical person, thing, action, or event that foreshadows new truths, new actions, or new events. In the Old Testament, Melchizedech and Jonah are types of Jesus Christ. A likeness must exist between the type and the archtype, but the latter is always greater. Both are independent of each other. God's call for the return of the Israelites from Pharaoh's bondage typifies the return of Jesus Christ from his flight into Egypt. In the New Testament his the destruction of Jerusalem, foretold by Christ, was the antitype of the end of the world.

Thus we have the study of typology.

[The Iceman Cometh]

It seems the Catholic word of the day according to the Pope is socialism. That is, have the state steal everyone's wealth, except the wealth of the Vatican, and give it to the poor.

Sorry, this pope is a joke.
