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.
