3E The prophet Elisha represents God’s New Testament economy in typology; he is a type in the Old Testament who typifies the real things in the New Testament—2 Kings 4:9.
4F Jezebel, a most hateful person, the pagan wife of Ahab, is a type of who Jezebel is in the New Testament reality—a type of the apostate church—1 Kings 16:31; 19:1-2; 21:23; Rev. 2:20-23.
5G In typology the king’s palaces and God’s temple were separate, whereas in the New Testament reality these two are one building—1 Kings 9:15; Eph. 2:21-22:
12b We were regenerated with a divine, spiritual, heavenly, kingly, and royal life; this enthrones us to reign as kings over all things—John 1:12-13; 3:3, 5; Rev. 5:10; Rom. 5:17, 21.
13Ⅴ The history books were put into the Holy Scriptures because, in typology, they give us a vivid view of God’s economy; the essence of the typology of the Old Testament is God’s economy with Christ and His Body as the center and reality—Eph. 1:9; 3:9; 5:32.
