Hi Unorthodox Christian:Thank you very much for starting this thread on the types and antitypes of Scripture, as this is one of my favorite topics.
UC >> Name types of the bible. Adam and Eve are like Christ and the Bride.
We agree that Adam is to Eve what Christ is to the Kingdom “Bride” (John 3:29), as a ‘helper’ (Genesis 2:18-20) making intercession for many. However, the Apostle Paul never uses the term ‘bride’ (Numphe =
http://cf.blueletterbible.org/lang/lexicon...565&Version=kjv) even once in any of his Gentile Epistles to the members of the
“BODY of Christ” (Ephesians 4:12) saved by our Word of the Cross (1 Corinthians 1:18) gospel message. A problem with this analogy is that Adam and Eve were man and wife apart from any ceremonial ritual, because his helper was taken from him inward part (Genesis 2:20-22). Another problem is that the Greek term (Numphe) describes a woman ‘betrothed’ to marriage under the promise, ‘before’ she actually attains to becoming a ‘wife.’ That is why everyone saved by the
“Gospel of the Kingdom” (Matthew 4:23 , Matthew 9:35 , etc.) must
‘endure to the end’ (Matthew 24:13) AND take part in the
“Marriage Supper Of The Lamb” (Revelation 19:5-10). Those of us saved by obeying Paul’s “my gospel” (Romans 2:16 , Romans 16:25) are seated “IN Christ Jesus” (Ephesians 2:6) even now and members of His body as we speak with NO requirement or need to become part of any Marriage ritual at all.
UC >> Eve sinned, and Adam was not deceived, but because he loved Eve, he took upon him the same sin and was Cast out of Eden with her.
I do not believe you will find the terms “Adam” and “love” used in the same verses anywhere in Scripture, but I catch your drift. The first use of the term “love” is in Genesis 22:2 describing the relationship between Abraham and his son Isaac being prepared for the Moriah sacrifice. The fact is that Eve was taken from Adam’s side in the same way this visible creation was taken from the side of ‘Eth ‘Erets (Genesis 1:1 = The Earth), which finds Adam subjected to the same futility as Creation:
“For
the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groans and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now.” Romans 8:20-22.
Adam sits in the same exact position of the heavens groaning to be reunited with the earth counterpart through the agency of ‘heaven,’ so once again he can obtain his Singularity Expression form of Genesis 1:1. The Genesis 2-4 depiction of Adam (spirit witness), Eve (water witness helper) and her seed (only begotten blood witness) is the same story of Genesis 1 creation told from a ‘human’ incarnation perspective where the entire ‘Eth ‘Erets (The Earth) Genesis 1:1 creation is Adam and Eve (water witness) is the visible universe coming from his Singularity Expression side. Another type of this story is found in Christ’s crucifixion where water and blood (John 19:34) also come from His side, as provisions for His Bride (water witness = body of Moses) and the seed represented by the “Body of Christ” under construction today. The same exact situation is found in the relationships between “The Word” (Singularity Expression) with the Father (spirit witness like Adam), Son (blood witness like her seed) and Holy Spirit (Helper = John 16:7 like Eve = Genesis 2:18) coming from His (The Word’s) side. Eve is the deceived transgressor (2 Timothy 2:14) in the same way our physical universe is the water witness vehicle of expression for the heavens (spirit witness) and heaven (blood witness) making the earth a ‘weaker vessel’ (1Peter 3:7) for the unseen realms of this universe. Therefore, the visible universe is the ‘bride’ for the heavens coming to betroth the visible universe in marriage, as all things are summed up IN Christ (Ephesians 1:9-10).
UC >> Just like Christ, he loved his bride and according to the Book of Corinthians he became the Sin for his Bride. Amazing. Any other types you see in the bible?
I agree with you 100 percent that Adam is the willing victim representing the heavens intent on betrothing the visible universe back to himself in a holy union that transforms this current broken universe back into the restored Singularity Expression of Genesis 1:1. That means Elijah is typical of Adam and Moses is typical of Eve standing on either side of Christ on the Mount of Transfiguration being summed up “IN Christ” as God’s Living Word.
Moses (Eve) stands on the left of Christ in the exact position of the New Earth of Figure 2 representing the ‘men’ of the physical universe, while Elijah (Adam) stands in the position of the heavens representing the ‘angels,’ as their ‘greater half’ counterparts yearning to be restored to their singularity expression perfection state of Genesis 1:1 within the Kingdom of Heaven the very same way. Our mystery church has citizenship in heaven (Philippians 3:20) within the central blood witness between them judging the world and the angels (1 Corinthians 6:2-3), because those are two witnesses of the same ‘living soul’ in the image of Adam from Genesis 2:7 with Eve and her seed “IN” him. It is not that Adam ‘had a soul’ in Genesis 2:7, but his spirit, soul and body were all the ‘same thing;’ which made the original ‘son of God’ (Luke 3:38) a singularity expression like the perfect beings from Genesis 1:1 ‘before’ the creation was made formless and void in Genesis 1:2. Our transformation from mortal to immorality (1 Corinthians 15:51-53) will include a restoration process that unites your earthly image with a heavens angelic counterpart waiting intently to become reunited with his weaker vessel earthy counterpart. Yes. There are hundreds of types in Scripture from Genesis to Revelation represented by the relationships existing between three witnesses of spirit, water and blood. The man (spirit witness), woman (water witness helper) and your seed (blood witnesses) mirror the relationship of your own spirit, soul (blood witness) and body (water witness), but only if you have eyes from God to see them. :0) In Christ Jesus even now,Terral
