Prefigures and Foreshadows – Evidence for Christianity

The gospel writers fabricated the stories about the darkening of the sky, the curtain being ripped, etc. Matthew fabricated the prophecy from Hosea 11:1, and the church corrupted Isaiah 53. Response?

Dr. John Oakes wrote in Bible Manuscripts and Textual Questions, General, Historical and Messianic Prophecy, Other Religions, Prefigures and Foreshadows, Q & A, Reliability of the Bible .

Question: The Gospels’ writers fabricated stories about Jesus which have no strong evidence, e.g., the sky grows dark for 3 hours at midday at the crucifixion, an earthquake rips the curtain in the Jewish temple & opens the tombs of the saints, from which dead people resurrect and then appear throughout Jerusalem. This is an […]

Question: Amos predicted that God will plant Jews in their own land, never again to be uprooted (Am. 9:15), but they were banished by Titus in 70 CE. Zechariah predicted that ten people from all nations will take firm hold of one Jew and say, Let us go with you, because we have heard that […]

Christian Zionists claim that the modern state of Israel is a fulfillment of biblical prophecy. Where is the king who should be ruling them?

Dr. John Oakes wrote in Bible Interpretation, General, Historical and Messianic Prophecy, Other Religions, Prefigures and Foreshadows, Q & A .

Editor’s Note: This question comes from a Muslim, which might explain the tone of the question. Question: 1. The Christian Zionists claim that the modern Israelite state is made according to the Biblical prophecies for e.g., Ezek. 37:21-22, but the problem is: where is that king who will rule over them? Did all Jews return to Israel? […]

In the Babylonian Talmud Zechariah 1:18-21 is interpreted as four different Messiah-figures. If Jesus is Messiah/King, who are the other three craftsmen in the prophecy?

Dr. John Oakes wrote in General, Historical and Messianic Prophecy, Other Religions, Prefigures and Foreshadows, Q & A .

Question: According to Jewish tradition, four messianic figures, called the Four Craftsmen, from a vision found in the Book of Zechariah (Zech.1:18-21). The four craftsmen are discussed in the Babylonian Talmud Suk. 52b. which identifies these four craftsmen as Messiah ben David, Messiah ben Joseph, Elijah, and the Righteous Priest. My question is: If Jesus […]

Dr. John Oakes wrote in General, Historical and Messianic Prophecy, Other Religions, Prefigures and Foreshadows, Q & A .

Is Israel God’s firstborn son (Exodus 4:22) or is Jesus God’s firstborn son (Hebrews 1:6)?

Dr. John Oakes wrote in Bible Interpretation, General, Prefigures and Foreshadows, Q & A .

Question: Is Israel God’s firsborn son (Exodus 4:22) or Jesus (Hebrews 1:6)? My understanding is it’s both but in different senses. Would this be correct? In what sense is Israel God’s firstborn? Is it in the sense that Israel was chosen among the nations? In what sense is Jesus God’s firstborn? Is it in the […]

The Gabriel inscription predicts a Messiah who would resurrect on the third day. W. L. Craig says that the Jews believed in a kingly Messiah would free them from Rome. Which is correct?

Dr. John Oakes wrote in Bible Interpretation, General, Historical and Messianic Prophecy, Prefigures and Foreshadows, Q & A, Resurrection of Jesus .

Question: Dr. William Lane Craig and others have pointed out that first century Jews were not waiting for humble Messiah who will suffer, let alone will rise from the dead.

What is the criteria for determining what is evidence is support for Christian belief?

Dr. John Oakes wrote in General, General Apologetics, Prefigures and Foreshadows, Q & A .

Question: What criteria do you employ in support of calling something evidence? I am curious because many people I meet only consider something evidence if it was written down and somehow correlates to physical observable objects. I think differently. For example, with regard to the Flavius Josephus, and various typology concepts being proposed/investigated by scholars, […]

Question: What is the meaning of the altar mentioned in (Hebrew 13 : 10)?

If God’s judgment is based on our actions, then why does he accept a substitute sacrifice instead. Doesn’t it need to be one or the other?

Dr. John Oakes wrote in Bible Interpretation, General, Historical and Messianic Prophecy, Prefigures and Foreshadows, Q & A, Types .

Question: If God is just and gives everyone what they deserve according to their actions, then why does he accept a substitute sacrifice on our behalf–whether it be the millions of animal sacrifices in the OT or even Christ himself? Perhaps you will just say it is God’s mercy, but I would appreciate some elucidation. […]

Are Zechariah 3:8-9, 6:11-13 and 12:10-13:3 messianic prophecies? Is Joshua a figure of Jesus?

Dr. John Oakes wrote in General, Historical and Messianic Prophecy, Prefigures and Foreshadows, Q & A, Types .

Question: Could you answer a couple questions about Zechariah? Is chapter 2:8-9 referring to Jesus’ sacrifice for all sin? Also, is chapter 6:11-13 referring to Joshua as a Jesus-figure? After all, isn’t Jesus’ real name in Hebrew Yeshua, which is a variant of Joshua? Is it a coincidence that it says his “name” is the […]

Dr. John Oakes wrote in Bible Interpretation, End Times, General, Prefigures and Foreshadows, Types .

Question: What passages in the New Testament portray Egypt as a symbol of “slavery and sin”?

Dr. John Oakes wrote in General, Historical and Messianic Prophecy, Prefigures and Foreshadows .

Question: I want to ask whether circumcision is a prefigure of baptism? A passage from the Bible, 1 Peter 3:20-21, seemingly says that the prefigure of baptism were the events in the days of Noah. On the other hand, Colossians 2:11-14 implies that circumcision was a prefigure of baptism. Can it be considered a prefigure […]

Dr. John Oakes wrote in Church History, General, Historical and Messianic Prophecy, Prefigures and Foreshadows, Reliability of the Bible, Supposed Inconsistencies in the Bible .

Jesus cannot be the Messiah because of many messianic prophecies he did not fulfill!

Dr. John Oakes wrote in End Times, General, Historical and Messianic Prophecy, Prefigures and Foreshadows, Reliability of the Bible, Types .

Question: I have read some of your articles. I do not see how Jesus meets the criteria given for Messiah in the Tanakh… SITUATION OF HIS BIRTH Christians say he had no biological father.

Could John 3:5 (baptism) and John 6:55 (Lord's Supper) be anachronisms–words put in Jesus mouth that he never said?

Dr. John Oakes wrote in Bible Interpretation, General, Prefigures and Foreshadows, Reliability of the Bible .

Moses could not cross the Jordan to enter the Promised Land. This is a foreshadow of not entering heaven, yes? Does this imply that Moses will not be in heaven?

Dr. John Oakes wrote in Bible Interpretation, General, Prefigures and Foreshadows, Types .

Questions: 1. Moses was prevented from crossing the Jordan and entering the promised land by God, because of Numbers 20. If the promised land is a foreshadow of heaven, and Moses did not enter it, are we to infer that Moses did not make it to heaven? 2. We can see how God has protected […]

Is Jesus an acceptable sacrifice according to the Old Testament (an advanced quest. about biblical types)

Dr. John Oakes wrote in General, Historical and Messianic Prophecy, Prefigures and Foreshadows, Theology and Doctrinal Questions, Types .

Question: Is Jesus really an acceptable sin sacrifice according to the Old Testament? The new covenant couldn’t have been active till after Jesus’ death and resurrection, right?

What is the "heart" behind Lev 5:3? Did Jesus sin when he touched a leper?

Dr. John Oakes wrote in Bible Interpretation, General, Prefigures and Foreshadows, Theology and Doctrinal Questions .

Question: What is the "heart" behind Leviticus 5:3? The reason I asked is because according to this verse, in the Old Testament anyone who touches anything that could make him unclean, even unwittingly, makes him guilty. Now, Jesus intentionally touched a leper (Matthew 8:1-4), yet remained guiltless (Hebrews 4:15). I assume the reason for this […]
