Wikipedia on theological typology
I should have stayd away from the language as I intended. The Wikipedia article should answer your questions.
The idea is that for a stamp to create an image, the image has to be reversed, anti. Like the reflection in a mirror. What you see in the imoression of a ring on sealing wax is opposite to the image on the ring, a reflection. To say Christ is the antitype is to say he is the original, the image on the ring. The types can be before or after, King David, Jonah, Moses are all types, as are we in our embodiment of Christ.
