## Resource

Can a villain in Scripture still function as a type of Christ? In this episode of Shadows to Substance, Pastor George Sayour responds to criticism surrounding the claim that Saul — particularly in 1 Samuel 11 — can be understood typologically. Using Romans 5, Hebrews, biblical parallels, and examples from Adam, Jonah, Solomon, Cyrus, Isaac, and Saul, this episode explains how biblical typology works through both comparison and contrast. A type is not morally identical to Christ. Rather, Scripture uses patterns, echoes, and narrative structures to point us to Jesus as the greater and final fulfillment. This episode explores: • Biblical typology explained • Saul as a possible type of Christ • Adam and Christ parallels • Jonah as a foreshadowing pattern • Shadows and substance in Scripture • How the New Testament interprets the Old Testament If you enjoy covenant theology, biblical theology, typology, and Christ-centered interpretation of Scripture, subscribe to Eschatology Matters Network for weekly episodes.
