GENESIS CHAPTER 24 - 24:66

GENESIS  CHAPTER  24

 24:1 The entire chapter is highly typical:  ( 1 )  Abraham, type of a certain king who would make a marriage for his son ( MATTHEW  22:2;  JOHN  6:44 );  ( 2 )  the unnamed servant, type of the Holy Spirit, who does not "speak for himself," but takes of the things of the Bridegroom with which to win the bride ( JOHN  16:13__14 );  ( 3 ) the servant, type of the Spirit as enriching the bride with the Bridegroom's gifts ( GALATIANS  5:22;  1  CORINTHIANS  12:7__11 );  ( 4 )  the servant, type of the Spirit as bringing the bride to the meeting with the Bridegroom ( ACTS  13:4;  16:6__7 );  ( 5 ) Rebekah, type of  Church, the ecclesia, the "called out" virgin bride of Christ ( GENESIS  24:16;  2  CORINTHIANS  11:2 );  ( 6 ) Isaac, type of the Bridegroom, "whom not having seen," the bride loves through the testimony of the unnamed Servant ( 1  PETER  1:8 );  ( 7 )  Issac, type of the Bridegroom who goes out to meet and receive His bride ( GENESIS  24:63;  1  THESSALONIANS  4:14__16 ).

EXODUS CHAPTER 12 - 12:11

Image
EXODUS  CHAPTER  12 12:11 - The Passover, type of Christ our Redeemer ( EXODUS  12:1__28;  JOHN  1:29;  1  CORINTHIANS  5:6__7 ). ( 1 ). - The lamb must be without blemish, and to test this it was kept up four days ( EXODUS  12:5__6 ). So our Lord's public life, under hostile scrutiny, was the testing which proved His holiness ( LUKE  11:53__54;  JOHN  8:46 ). ( 2 ). - The Lamb thus tested must be slain ( EXODUS  12:6;  JOHN  12:24 ).   ( 3 ). - The blood must be applied ( EXODUS  12:7 ). This answers to appropriation by personal faith, and refutes universalism ( JOHN  3:36 ). ( 4 ). - The blood applied of itself, without anything in addition, constituted a perfect protection from judgment ( EXODUS  12:13;  1  JOHN  1:7 ). ( 5 ). - The feast typified Christ the bread of life, answering to the memorial supper ( MATTHEW  26:26__28;  1  CORINTHIANS...

EXODUS CHAPTER 30 - 30:34 AND 30:38

Image
EXODUS  CHAPTER  30 30:34  Frankincense is not to be confounded with incense ( to which it was to be added ), as it is often used apart from incense, We are told what composed the incense__never in Scripture what the frankincense was. All speaks of Christ__the sweet spices of those perfections which we may apprehend, the frankincense of that which God saw in Jesus ineffable. 30:38  What is condemned here is making worship a mere pleasure to the natural man, whether sensuous, as in beautiful music to please the ear, or eloquence, merely to give delight to the natural mind.  JOHN  4:23__24.  30:18  Laver, type of Christ cleansing us from defilement, and from "every spot or wrinkle or any such thing" ( JOHN  13:2__10;  EPHESIANS  5:25__27 ). It is significant that the priests could not enter the holy place after serving at the brazen altar till hands and feet were cleansed. 30:31  Anointing oil, type of the Holy Spi...

EXODUS CHAPTER 27 - 27:9

Image
EXODUS  CHAPTER  27 27:9  The fine linen commonly typifies personal righteousness ( EXODUS  26: ), and in the hangings of the court stands for that measure of righteousness which God demand of any who would, in his own righteousness, approach. Christ, figuratively speaking, put up the hangings of the court in Luke  10:25__28. The only way of approach was the "gate" ( Verse 16, JOHN  10:9 ). The hangings of the court bar out equally the self-righteous man and the open sinner, for the height was above seven feet ( EXODUS  27:18 ). 27:1  Brazen altar type of the Cross upon which Christ, our whole bunt-offering, offered Himself without spot to God ( HEBREWS  9:14 ). 27:1  EXODUS  25:10 The altar of burnt-offering is double the height of the mercy-seat. The atonement more than saves us__it glorifies God ( JOHN  17:4 ).
