The Analogies of God's Word
AnalogyNature Nugget★★★God’s Word is as full of analogies as His works. The histories, offerings, and prophecies of the Old Testament are figures of better things which have been brought to light by the Gospel. The lessons of our Lord and His apostles teem with types. Almost every doctrine is given in duplicate: the spirit is providel with a body; a body clothes the spirit. Every fruitful vine has a strong elm to which it clings; every strong elm supports a fruitful vine.

The point
God's Word is filled with analogies, types, and figures, where every doctrine is presented in both spiritual and physical forms, like a vine clinging to an elm.
