Hello,
I have a question about typology which has always bothered me, perhaps you or anyone else might be willing to help me with this.
Let's take Isaac, a well known type of Christ. It is kind of easy to see him and think that "God created" this type. Especially when He told Abraham to sacrifice his son.
But then, look at Joseph, another type of Christ. His entire life becomes a type. So then you wonder, is God sitting there manipulating all of these different events in his life for a type, or is Joseph merely the shadow of Christ. In the same way that 4 dimensional creatures like us leave a 3 dimensional shadow, Perhaps our lives and everything on earth is a shadow of God, and the spiritual realm.
Do you have any thoughts on the mechanism behind how lives and historical events recorded in the OT are shadows?
