OT Survey - Types, Anti-types and Shadows

Types of the Old Testament are pictures (snap shots) in which the doctrines of the New Testament are previewed.  The OT is a record of (the Children of) Israel from their time in bondage to the taking of the Promsed Land.  The events of their OT history typify the plan of salvation revealed in the New Testament (recorded for our instruction). - Larkin

Today's Focus: A Bride for Isaac

1 Now Abraham was old, well advanced in age; and the LORD had blessed Abraham in all things.
2 So Abraham said to the oldest servant of his house, who ruled over all that he had, “Please, put your hand under my thigh, 3 “and I will make you swear by the LORD, the God of heaven and the God of the earth, that you will not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell; 4 “but you shall go to my country and to my family, and take a wife for my son Isaac.”

- Genesis 24:1-4
