New Adam, New Isaac, New Solomon

[Stylteralmaldo]

By Adam’s sin, we were sold into slavery. The New Adam, Jesus Christ, became sin to free us from the slavery of sin.

Abraham offered Isaac as an acceptable sacrifice to God but a ram took its place in that sacrifice as God spared him. The New Isaac, Jesus Christ, became an acceptable sacrifice which took our place which spared us.

The son of King David gave his son Solomon the throne in which he was honored with a procession on a mule into Jerusalem. He also showed great honor to his mother the queen Bethsheba. The New Solomon, Jesus Christ, was honored with a procession into Jerusalem on a mule and he too honored his mother Mary as queen of Heaven and Earth.

Any other uncanny parallels anyone can think of comparing the Old to New Covenants?

Typology! It rules!

Heard one that was new to me just today. Jeremiah, like John the Baptist and Mary, while still in his mother’s womb was called to his destined work.
