There is even more about Mary in the OT than there is in the NT. The events and prophets of the OT refer to her in types and prophecies, just as they refer to her Son.

Most types are just like seeing a horse in a cloud.

It looks like a horse, but it isn't a horse.

Nor does God identify much of anything in Scripture as a type.

The ones he doesn't identify as a type are an opinion

Amazing! That's exactly what learned and highly respectable Jews say about Christological types and prophecies in the OT. They say it's all wishful thinking, back-reading and eisegesis on the part of Christians.

I think it takes an attitudinal shift, in that we have to 1 (Corinthians 2:16) "Have the mind of Christ.” Having the mind of Christ means sharing the plan, purpose, and perspective of Christ, who fulfilled the commandments and always honored His Father and His mother.
