Q

type/antitype

the OT prophet describes an event, person or institution (“type”) and later scripture reveals the prophetic significance of this event, person or institution (“anti-type”)

A type foreshadows the antitype - a future event or person that is similar to the type.

Ex. Old Testament atonement rituals; The “Sacrifice” of Isaac (Gen. 22 & Heb. 11:17-19) - A preview of God providing His own Son for you

26
Kenosis
At the incarnation, Jesus gave up not only the environment of the godhead and his position as ruler, but also the USE of His divine attributes Implications: - like Jesus, we should depend on power of Holy Spirit - Jesus must love us very much to give up so very much
27
The Incarnation
The point In history when the second person of the trinity entered the human race (Jn. 1:14)
28
Double Reference in Biblical Prophecy
Two events, widely separated as to the time of their fulfillment, may be brought together into the scope of one prophecy. This was done because the prophet had a message for his own day as well as for a future time . . . It was the purpose of God to give the near and far view so that the fulfillment of the one should be the assurance of the fulfillment of the other. The phenomenon of double reference prophecy is common in and unique to the Bible. The Old Testament employs four different kinds of double-reference prophecy: Type, Gap, Type-gap, and Unforeseen partial.

A term comes from Rev. 20:1-10; describes a period lasting 1000 years where Jesus Christ rules with believers who have been martyred for following Jesus
33
Pre-millenialists
- Jesus will return prior to the millennial kingdom - He will return to judge the wicked and establish a literal 1000 year reign on earth (the Millennial Kingdom) - this view holds that the present age (the church age) is preceding the literal theocratic rule of Christ on earth as foretold in Old Testament and affirmed in the New Testament
34
Hypostatic union
At the incarnation, 2 natures were inseparably united in one person - this is distinctive from the trinity!!!
35
Covenantalism
Emphasizes the unity in the way God has worked over time; OT prophecies about future of Israel are figuratively fulfilled in the church age - see no role for the nation of Israel
36
Dispensationalism
- Emphasizes the diversity or different ways God has worked over time - believe in literal 1000 year millennial kingdom with Jesus on earth - OT prophecy about future Israel is literally fulfilled in the millennial kingdom
37
A-millennial
Believe the millennial kingdom will not literally appear all figurative and already being fulfilled in the church age (covenantal view)
38
Total depravity
- the fall affects every human being (Rom. 3:9-11) - every area of out lives has been adversely affected (Rom. 3:13-18) - none of us can be accepted by God on the basis of our own righteousness or moral/spiritual effort (Rom. 3:19, 20) - we would never seek for God without His prior initiative (Rom. 3:11) Rom. 3:9-20
