Where in the Bible is wood a type of Christ?

Answer 1

One thought:

The Greek word : Christ (Messiah in Hebrew) means 'anointed one'....that is 'one set aside for a special purpose'.

**Jesus, of course, was the Christ, as he had a special anointing to save mankind from sin and death.(Acts 3:20-23)(Acts 10:38)

.**Moses was called a 'Christ' for his role as liberator of God's people(Hebrews 11:24-26)which he received at the 'burning bush'(Exodus 3:2-4:17)

**Persian King Cyrus was also called 'the anointed one', or 'Christ'(Isaiah 45:1) because God used him specifically to bring freedom from Babylon.

**So, nowhere in The Bible is 'wood' called a Christ. The material 'wood' would not be able to be a 'christ', since it could not be anointed for special work.

Another AnswerFirst of all, if someone is reading this that doesn't know what a "type (or shadow) of Christ" is, it's the symbolic use of something or someone in the Old Testament foretelling Jesus Christ.

There is no wood that is actually a type of Christ, however there are things made of wood which are types:

The Brazen altar Exodus 27:1, 2; The Table of show bread Exodus 25:23-30; The Ark of the Covenant Exodus 25:16.

And the type of wood used in all these was Acacia wood, which symbolized the works of humanity.
