Trajectory Tables

A trajectory table takes one Old Testament strand — a person, an institution, an object, a theme — and follows it forward, stage by stage, until it arrives at Christ. Not every strand travels the same road: some are promises kept, some are types fulfilled and surpassed, some are themes that deepen across the centuries, and some are shadows Christ ends by contrast. Each table names the road honestly, so you watch the line bend toward its Lord the way the text itself bends it.

How to read oneStart at the top — the Old Testament stage — and read down the arc to the New Testament fulfillment and its consummation; the Connection Method tells you which kind of road this particular strand travels.
