Typological studies tracing themes to Christ

#	Trajectory	What It Traces
041	David — The King After God's Own Heart	The shepherd-king sworn an everlasting throne, a promise kept in the Son who is both David's son and David's Lord.
047	Divine Warrior — God Who Fights	The LORD who fights for His people, a thread running to the cross where Christ, the Warrior Himself, disarms the powers.
101	Meat-Offering — Tribute and Thanksgiving	Israel's one bloodless offering of flour and oil, the tribute of a consecrated life fulfilled in the offered body of Christ.
106	Nazirite Vow — Separation unto God	Uncut hair and untasted wine marking a life set apart, a holiness line answered by Christ's own self-consecration.
124	Promised Land — Inheritance and Rest	Canaan given as an everlasting possession yet lost, a rest that opens at last in Christ's new creation.
143	Seed Promise — Redemption Through Offspring	The offspring promised to crush the serpent's head, narrowed through every covenant until He is born.
164	Two Covenants — Law and Promise	Sinai's law against Abraham's promise, an old covenant declared obsolete by the better one in Christ's blood.
165	Unleavened Bread — Purity and Sincerity	Seven days with every crumb of leaven purged, fulfilled in the sinless Passover Lamb and a people kept unleavened.
