What do I mean by 'type?'
The 'Old' things are the 'types' of the OT,and the New things what they stand for in the NT.
The NT is enfolded in the OT,and the OT is unfolded in the New.
The New is in the Old contained;
The Old is by the New explained.
1. Joseph was 'beloved' of his father, so was Jesus.
2. Joseph was sent unto his bretheren, so was Jesus.
3. Joseph's brethren refused to receive him, so did the brethren of Jesus.
4. Joseph was sold by his bretheren, so was Jesus.
5. Joseph was unjustly accused and condemned, so was Jesus.
6. Joseph was buried in prison, so was Jesus in the Tomb of Joseph.
7. Joseph was resurrected from prison and exalted to sit with Pharaoh on his throne, so Jesus was resurrected and exalted to sit on His Father's Throne.
8. Joseph on the throne became the dispenser of bread to starving Egypt, so Jesus on His Father's Throne is the 'Bread of Life for a perishing world.
9. Afer Joseph was exalted he got a Gentile bride, so Jesus will get a Gentile Bride--the Church.
10. After Joseph got his bride his brethren suffered famine and came to him for corn, so after Jesus gets His Bride, His brethren, the Jews, will turn to Him, during the time of 'Jacob's Trouble, the Great Tribulation' for relief.
11. Joseph knew his brethren the first time, but they did not know him, so Jesus knew His brethren when He came the first time but they knew him not.
12. Joseph made himself known to his bretheren when they came the 'Second time, so Jesus will be recognized by the Jews when He comes the Second Time.
13. After Joseph's revelation of himself to his brethren, they go forth to proclaim that he is alive and the 'saviour of the world, so when Jesus reveals Himself to His brethren the Jews they will proclaim Him alive and the Saviour Mankind.
14. Joseph then establishes his bretheren and their families in the 'land of Goshen' so Jesus will re-establish the Jews in the Land of Palestine.
