2 Year Two Week Two of Bible Road Trip is all about exploring the Old Testament. Last year during our week of Exploring the Old Testament, we studied several New Testament stories in which Jesus and the Apostles referenced the Old Testament in critical ways. This helped us understand two things. First, Jesus and the Apostles regarded the Old Testament as truth, as history and as vital to their understanding of the gospel. Second, we learned that Jesus is present in the Old Testament, in the Gospels, and in Revelation as well. Jesus always has been, He is, and He always will be. This year we will look at a completely different concept: biblical types and shadows. We know that God knows the end of the story. He knew the story of the Bible before He spoke Let there be light. (God is eternal and omnipresent. You can find a brief overview of God s attributes with Bible references at CRI if you re interested: This knowledge of the end of the story, combined with the fact that God is the author of our existence and has inspired the writing of Scripture, means that we can read the Bible with assurance that He has filled it with some amazing symbolism. A biblical type or shadow is an object, person, event or institution (like the sacrificial system) that foreshadows what is to come in the future. Typology can be taken to an extreme, and has been used in liberal circles to attempt to prove that the Bible is only figurative. We know this is not true. My hope is that the study of biblical archaeology in the upper levels of Bible Road Trip will help reinforce the fact that the Bible is historically truthful. As such, I ve only used types that are stated to be types in the New Testament itself. We will work with three types that will enrich students understanding of Scripture and their appreciation of the complexity of God s inspiration of the Bible. First, the sacrificial lamb points to Jesus Christ as the Lamb of God the sacrifice for our sins once and for all. Second, the priestly system leads us to understand Christ as our high priest and the tabernacle helps us to understand the Church. Third, Israel s wanderings during the exodus aid us in understanding the Christian life of following Christ. Praying about the Word for the Grammar levels will look at Islam, while Dialectic and Rhetoric students will study Belarus, Russia, and the Ukraine.

We have our educated estimate dated at 3975 BC. o Date your timeline to 0 BC. Year Two of Bible Road Trip will overlap the dates on the Year One timeline, and dating your timeline to 0 AD will allow you to map the Inter-Testamental period as well.
