Just Word Webinar with Pastor Tim Harris FEEPS (Figures, Examples, Ensamples, Patterns, Shadows) February 4, 2019 www.justwordministries.com https://youtu.be/MDXUvpySxeA Notes | Scriptures | Hebrew | Greek | Key Points

KEY POINTS 1. The Old Testament is FEEPS - Figures, Examples, Ensamples, Patterns, and Shadows. 2. FEEPS paint a picture in the Old Testament but the reality is found in New Testament

truth. 3. Hebrew letters were originally drawn as pictographs that illustrate God’s picture. 4. God’s FEEPS in the Old Testament pictographs help us better understand the family. 5. Adam correctly named the animals, calling them based on what he saw.

The Old Testament is FEEPS • God uses Old Testament Hebrew pictographs to define and the reality of that picture

is found in the New Testament FEEPS is an acronym that describes the Old Testament. It stands for:

• FIGURES - Heb. 9:9, 24 o The Old Testament happenings under the Mosaic law (Heb. 9:7-8) was a figure

of the New Testament o In the tabernacle, the high priest went into the holy of holies and offered

sacrifice for himself and the errors of the people o The Old Testament is a picture of the New Testament o Christ entering in is not a figure; the Old Testament things were figures of the

New • EXAMPLES - 1 Cor. 10:6; Heb. 8:5

o God did great things in the Old Testament but it is nothing compared to what happens to us in the New Testament

o Heb. 8:5 - examples and shadows of heavenly things § What Moses did was NOT the heavenly things but what He did was an

example, shadow, patterns of those heavenly things • ENSAMPLES - 1 Cor. 10:11 • PATTERNS - Heb. 8:5; 9:23

o In the Old Testament, things were purified by the sacrifices (oxen, bulls, turtle doves) but these were patterns of things in heaven

o Ex. You cannot wear the pattern of a suit or drive the little model of a car o Don’t try to take the Old Testament and make it into the New Testament - it’s a

figure, example, ensample, pattern, and shadow

• SHADOWS - Heb. 8:5; Col. 2:16-17 o Heb. 8:5 - examples and shadows of heavenly things o Col. 2:16-17 - the sabbath days, meat, and drink of the Old Testament were

simply shadows § Ex. We are not required to have service or worship on Saturdays in order

to keep the Sabbath day holy - that is a shadow § Ex. We don’t have to abstain from eating certain meats - that is a

shadow § In the Old Testament, when Noah came from the ark they could

eat any meat (Gen. 9:3-4) then under the law of Moses they were not allowed to eat swine but that was only until they made it to the promised land (Deut. 12:20-22)

§ In the New Testament, 1 Tim. 4:1-4 is relevant now — we can eat meat including swine

FEEPS SUMMARY • We have to teach and preach the Old Testament but we have to keep it in perspective

— with all the Old Testament we have to look at, what does this have to do with Jesus Christ and us in the New Testament?
