  • Jesus Christ, Types of, in Anticipation

    • offereth himself a sacrifice for sin, 2 Ne. 2:7.

      • 7 Behold, he offereth himself a sacrifice for sin, to answer the ends of the law, unto all those who have a broken heart and a contrite spirit; and unto none else can the ends of the law be answered.

    • this end hath the law of Moses … the typifying of him, 2 Ne. 11:4 (Gal. 3:24; Heb. 10:1; Mosiah 16:14; Alma 25:15; 34:14).

      • 4 Behold, my soul delighteth in proving unto my people the truth of the coming of Christ; for, for this end hath the law of Moses been given; and all things which have been given of God from the beginning of the world, unto man, are the typifying of him.

      • 24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

      • 1 For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.

      • 14 Therefore, if ye teach the law of Moses, also teach that it is a shadow of those things which are to come

      • 15 Yea, and they did keep the law of Moses; for it was expedient that they should keep the law of Moses as yet, for it was not all fulfilled. But notwithstanding the law of Moses, they did look forward to the coming of Christ, considering that the law of Moses was a type of his coming, and believing that they must keep those outward performances until the time that he should be revealed unto them.

      • 14 And behold, this is the whole meaning of the law, every whit pointing to that great and last sacrifice; and that great and last sacrifice will be the Son of God, yea, infinite and eternal.

    • Abraham … offering up his son Isaac, which is a similitude of God, Jacob 4:5.

      • 5 Behold, they believed in Christ and worshiped the Father in his name, and also we worship the Father in his name. And for this intent we keep the law of Moses, it pointing our souls to him; and for this cause it is sanctified unto us for righteousness, even as it was accounted unto Abraham in the wilderness to be obedient unto the commands of God in offering up his son Isaac, which is a similitude of God and his Only Begotten Son.

    • types, and shadows showed he unto them, Mosiah 3:15.

      • 15 And many signs, and wonders, and types, and shadows showed he unto them, concerning his coming; and also holy prophets spake unto them concerning his coming; and yet they hardened their hearts, and understood not that the claw of Moses availeth nothing except it were through the atonement of his blood.
