A type is a prophetic symbol, a person, thing, institution, or event which refers to Christ and His redeeming work. “A shadow of the good things to come” (Heb 10:1; 9:11; Col. 2:16-17), a setting forth in advance of the “heavenly things.”

A symbol is a visible cover of something invisible, a material garment of a higher truth, an impression and expression of something spiritual and supersensual.

Figure

signifies anything painted or feigned by the mind. It consists either in words or in things generally: e.g., on paper, wood, stone, etc., thought, speech.

Emblem

that sort of figure of thought by which we make corporeal objects to stand for moral properties; thus the dove is the emblem of meekness; the beehive is the emblem of industry

Symbol

that species of emblem which is converted into a constituted sign among men; thus the olive and laurel are symbols of peace

Type

that species of emblem by which one object is made to represent another mystically; used only in religious matters; e.g. offering of Isaac, type of Lord’s death.

Definitions

Type

an institution, historical event, or person that is ordained by God to prefigure truths later revealed through Christ.

Symbol

a person, institution, office, event, action, or thing about which an explanation is given somewhere in the Bible

Parable

A narrative constructed to convey one central, important truth alongside of it. An earthly story with a heavenly meaning. They were used to hide God’s revelation from undiscerning minds.

A Biblical type is an OT picture, pattern, or model of a NT reality.

From Dr. Garnes notes

What food is for hunger,
drink for thirst,
light for darkness,
joy for sorrow,
ease for pain,
health for sickness,
comfort for trouble,
rest for weariness,
wealth for poverty,
friendship for desolation,
safety for peril,
shelter for storm,
guidance for perplexity,
freedom for bondage,
victory for defeat,
strength for conflict,
acquittal for accusation,
pardon for guilt,
love for hatred,
power for weakness,
key for lock,
medicine for every ill,
life for death,
SO IS CHRIST TO THE CHRISTIAN.
My Everything.
— Psalm 73:25

I bought an iPad. I didn’t do my homework. It took 5 minutes
with the device to figure out that it won’t work for us.

• There are no logins and passwords. No separate accounts. That means
  • Email? Nope. Too much caching and user switching are not compatible.
  • Games? Nope, someone else just advanced a level or started over
  • Documents? Nope. Security, privacy issues.
• It does not run Mac OS Parental Controls
• No Google Chrome browser
• No Hulu. Without a 9.99 per month subscription. Zero chance of that happening.

I would also put “No Emacs”, but I never expected that.

After looking around I think the Samsung Galaxy Tab suffers from the same
fundamental issue.

These devices are toys, not practical for our family to use.

If you need an iPad cheap, let me know.

God sent us to catch fish,
not to clean up the pond.

We must not be swayed by
commendation of condemnation.

You cannot choose your ancestry,
But you can choose your destiny.

Silent assent is easier than creative thought.

Life is a battleground,
not a playground.

Character is not something we inherit;
it is something we build. Man is both
the marble and the sculptor. – Alexis Carrel

A crisis does not make a man,
it shows what a man is made of.

God does not promise to make us comfortable,
but He does promise to make us conformable.

Today’s furnaces are refining the gold
that will make our crowns when Jesus comes.

From Dr. Garnes Notebook

God is serious.
Christ is serious.
The Holy Spirit is serious.
Scriptures are serious.
Creation is serious.
All in heaven and hell are serious.

From Dr. Garnes Notes

Have kids? You should think about protecting them from the internet. it really doesn’t matter if you are a mac, a pc or a penguin. Here are some key concepts and things to think about

• Give each person an account, do not share logins and passwords
• Use the parental control software built into Mac OS X — it is quite good
• Block outbound port 80 (http) on your firewall and set up Dans Guardian + Squid on a dmz box
  • Read about Dans Guardian
  • Purchase a block list subscription from UrlBlacklist
  • All browsers should set their proxy as the dmz host port 8080
• You can set up custom groups for age appropriate filtering and white listing
• Please get OpenDNS Parental Control DNS Service. The default settings are great and if all hosts are DHCP on your network just set up the DHCP server with new nameservers
• Block outbound port 53 on your firewall except to OpenDNS nameservers
• Make your wireless network WPA2, not WEP
• Give your wireless network a nice long passphrase, not a password
• If you have to use WIndows on your network, fork over the cash for Norton/Kasperski/Symantec/WhateverItTakes.
• Limit time the computers are out of circulation (i.e. in bedrooms, etc).

Defense in depth. It’s not just for the office.
