PONDERING PROPHETIC PRINCIPLES, PART 2 TEXT: Mark 13 & selected Scriptures
SUMMARY: Jesus' Olivet Discourse, one of the key prophetic passages in the New Testament, must be understood in the context of other prophetic passages of Scripture, which provide principles to aid in its interpretation.
I. THE PRINCIPLE OF IMMEDIATE EXPECTATIONS.
II. THE PRINCIPLE OF TIME COMPRESSION. (Vos: 'The foreshortening of perspective')
III. THE PRINCIPLE OF TYPE AND ANTITYPE. A. Explanation of the Principle. 1. Scriptural words: type, figure, shadow, copy, allegory, parable, symbol. 2. Definition of key terms: •Type = a figure formed by a blow or impression. Thus, anything upon which has been impressed or engraved the image or the figure of some other thing. “Type in Scripture is a historical event or transaction or phenomenon which God caused to appear for the purpose of signifying by it a higher truth, or a future event, or an object of a higher province.” •Antitype = The truth or reality that is making the impression, and which is the fulfillment of the type.
B. Examples of the Principle. 1. The Nature of God in Type & Shadow. 2. The Plan of Redemption in Type and Shadow.
