In that view, the church replaces — or as they would say — “fulfills” — Israel. There is no further national program for Israel nor is there a future earthly kingdom lasting for 1000 years with Christ ruling from Jerusalem. This millennial (which means 1000 years) view is called Amillennialism (meaning: no literal millennium). I reject that view in favor of what’s called Premillennialism which basically says that Christ will return before the millennium to set up His 1000-year kingdom on earth. I’ll leave it there.

These qualities can be in the form of an event or personal characteristic. Typology is useful in prophetic study because many of the very same events that have already taken place may likely happen in some form again involving the type’s anti-type. Jesus is the most common anti-type found in the Bible because most types in the Old Testament point towards Him. But there are also types pointing to other things like the Antichrist. The Sabbath Day — the day of rest in the Old Testament — is a type pointing to the ultimate day of rest, the
