Typology

Jesus and the New Testament authors used typology to show how the Old Testament foreshadowed the New and how the New Testament fulfilled the Old.

​

The New Testament antitype (e.g. Jesus) fulfils or completes the truth of the Old Testament type (e.g. Adam).

​

From the Catechism of the Catholic Church 128-130, typology, which is throughout the bible, shows that God’s plan from the beginning was centred on Jesus.
