## Resource

This Right Response Ministries podcast episode reads 2 Samuel 18:9–15 and uses Absalom’s rebellion and death as an example of Old Testament typology, contrasting Absalom as an anti-type with Jesus as the obedient Son of David who is “hung on a tree” and pierced, not for His own sins but for His people. The hosts argue typology is a powerful apologetic for Christianity against Islam and Judaism, since it is grounded in real historical events rather than allegory, and it highlights the internal consistency and “majesty” of Scripture. They also discuss broader patterns such as Jesus as the true and better Israel, reenacting Israel’s story in His life and succeeding where Israel failed, and they clarify that the church is Israel by union with Christ, comprising both Jew and Gentile who believe in Jesus. *MINISTRY SPONSORS:* Genesis Gold Group Faith-Based Gold IRA: Genesis Gold Group helps Christians protect their retirement with physical precious metals aligned with scriptural stewardship principles. https://www.RightResponseBibleGold.com Backwards Planning Financial Want to build a financial legacy for your family with a plan that starts at the end goal?
