An example of the typical meaning in the Bible is in Paul's
writings. Paul appears to delight in establishing
types between
the New
Testament and the Old Testament. In 1 Cor 10:6
Paul typifies those events which occurred to the
Israelites
in the desert
of Sinai throughout the Exodus to those things
that happen to Christians.
Another example of a type--the typical meaning in the
Bible--is the bronze serpent raised by Moses in the
desert. The evangelist John presents raising the
bronze
serpent as a type of Christ crucified (3:14).
