This is just a preliminary list that I will expand upon. These were just off the top of my head. So I will add to them. If anyone wants to add some just have a biblical reference in the N.T. that calls or refers to Christ as that type. Thank you !

There are some people who claim Jesus is a type of x,y or z with no proof from Scripture. If you need references for the obvious ones I posted just let me know.

hope this helps !!!

Typology is a special kind of symbolism. (A symbol is something that represents something else.) We can define a type as a “prophetic symbol” because all types are representations of something yet future. More specifically, a type in Scripture is a person or thing in the Old Testament that foreshadows a person or thing in the New Testament. For example, the flood of Noah’s day (Genesis 6—7) is used as a type of baptism in 1 Peter 3:20–21. The word for “type” that Peter uses is figure.

When we say that someone is a type of Christ, we are saying that a person in the Old Testament behaves in a way that corresponds to Jesus’ character or actions in the New Testament. When we say that something is “typical” of Christ, we are saying that an object or event in the Old Testament can be viewed as representative of some quality of Jesus.

Scripture itself identifies several Old Testament events as types of Christ’s redemption, including the tabernacle, the sacrificial system, and the Passover. The Old Testament tabernacle is identified as a type in Hebrews 9:8-9: “The first tabernacle . . . which was a figure for the time then present.” The high priest’s entrance into the holiest place once a year prefigured the mediation of Christ, our High Priest. Later, the veil of the tabernacle is said to be a type of Christ (Hebrews 10:19-20) in that His flesh was torn, (as the veil was when He was crucified) in order to provide entrance into God’s presence for those who are covered by His sacrifice.

The whole sacrificial system is seen as a type in Hebrews 9:19-26. The articles of the “first testament” were dedicated with the blood of sacrifice; these articles are called “the patterns of things in the heavens” and “figures of the true” (verses 23-24). This passage teaches that the Old Testament sacrifices typify Christ’s final sacrifice for the sins of the world. The Passover is also a type of Christ, according to 1 Corinthians 5:7, “Christ our passover is sacrificed for us.” Discovering exactly what the events of the Passover teach us about Christ is a rich and rewarding study.

We should point out the difference between an illustration and a type. A type is always identified as such in the New Testament. A Bible student finding correlations between an Old Testament story and the life of Christ is simply finding illustrations, not types. In other words, typology is determined by Scripture. The Holy Spirit inspired the use of types; illustrations and analogies are the result of man’s study. For example, many people see parallels between Joseph (Genesis 37-45) and Jesus. The humiliation and subsequent glorification of Joseph seem to correspond to the death and resurrection of Christ. However, the New Testament never uses Joseph as a model of Christ; therefore, Joseph’s story is properly called an illustration, but not a type, of Christ.

Jesus’ teaching was full of symbolism. He presented Himself as a Shepherd, a Sower, a Bridegroom, a Door, a Cornerstone, a Vine, Light, Bread, and Water. He likened the kingdom of heaven to a wedding feast, a seed, a tree, a field, a net, a pearl, and yeast. There are dozens, if not hundreds, of other symbols in the Bible.

Note that a literal interpretation of the Bible allows for figurative language. Here’s a simple rule: if the literal meaning of a passage leads to obvious absurdity, but a figurative meaning yields clarity, then the passage is probably using symbols. For example, in Exodus 19:4, God tells Israel, “I carried you on eagles’ wings.” A literal reading of this statement would lead to absurdity—God did not use real eagles to airlift His people out of Egypt. The statement is obviously symbolic; God is emphasizing the speed and strength with which He delivered Israel. This leads to another rule of biblical interpretation: a symbol will have a non-symbolic meaning. In other words, there is something real (a real person, a real historical event, a real trait) behind every figure of speech.

Therefore do not let anyone judge you with respect to food or drink, or in the matter of a feast, new moon, or Sabbath days—these are only the shadow of the things to come, but the reality is Christ!
Colossians 2:16-17

Many of the laws, festivals, and stories in the Old Testament were simply shadows of the coming messiah—meant to prepare Israel for him. As with shadows today, they reflect aspects of something real but do not fully give the picture.

I looked up number three on the list, Noah's Ark. And I love this description.

The story of Noah’s Ark is a well-known biblical account of God’s judgment on the earth and His salvation of Noah and his family. The Ark is a type of Christ in that it was the only means of salvation from the flood, just as Christ is the only means of salvation from sin and death . The Ark also foreshadows Christ in that it was made of wood, just as the cross was. The pitch that protected the people inside made a water-tight seal, just as Jesus’ blood covers our sins and protects us from the wrath of God. Lastly, God prepared a place for Noah and his family when the Ark settled, just as Jesus has prepared a place for us in heaven.

In summary, while the Ark of Noah is not a direct prophecy of Christ’s incarnation, it does foreshadow Christ in several ways. It is a type of Christ in that it was the only means of salvation from the flood, just as Christ is the only means of salvation from sin and death. It also foreshadows Christ in that it was made of wood, just as the cross was. The pitch that protected the people inside made a water-tight seal, just as Jesus’ blood covers our sins and protects us from the wrath of God. Lastly, God prepared a place for Noah and his family when the Ark settled, just as Jesus has prepared a place for us in heaven.

How Is The Ark Symbolic Of Jesus Christ?

Noah’s ark was built to save a handful of humans, so how is the ark symbolic of salvation through Jesus Christ? Wickedness of Man After Adam and Eve were banned from the Garden of Eden and their chance at eternal
