When, for example, Hosea writes (11:1), in the midst of a judgment denunciation of Ephraim, "Out of Egypt I called my son," Matthew (2:15) understands Hosea to be prophesying of Christ.
But in this way: even Hosea is reflecting on Israel's past, and God is saying something about his calling Israel, his son, (Ex. 4:23) out of Egypt. Christ is the embodiment of all that prefigurement; he is ISRAEL. | While typology does fit into what I was talking about, I was still referring to some prophecies. I'm going to stop right there due to time constraints right now, and to research my cf's before I misrepresent God's Word. I'll be back soon to contribute some more!
