Berean Strong's Lexicon antitupos: Antitype, counterpart, corresponding figure Original Word: ἀντίτυπος Word Origin: Derived from ἀντί (anti, meaning "against" or "corresponding to") and τύπος (tupos, meaning "type" or "pattern"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἀντίτυπος, the concept of types and antitypes is closely related to the Hebrew word צֶלֶם (tselem, Strong's H6754), meaning "image" or "likeness," which can be seen in the typological relationships throughout the Old Testament. Usage: The term "antitype" refers to something that corresponds to or fulfills a type or pattern. In biblical theology, an antitype is the reality or fulfillment of a foreshadowed type found in the Old Testament. It is used to describe how certain events, persons, or institutions in the Old Testament prefigure and find their ultimate fulfillment in the New Testament, particularly in the person and work of Jesus Christ. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, the concept of "type" and "antitype" was used in various contexts, including literature and philosophy, to describe a relationship between an original model and its subsequent representation or fulfillment. In the context of the Bible, this concept is employed to illustrate the continuity and fulfillment of God's redemptive plan through history. The Old Testament is rich with types—symbols and foreshadowings—that point to the coming of Christ and the establishment of the New Covenant.
