STRONGS NT 499: ἀντίτυπος

ἀντίτυπος, ἀντίτυπον (τύπτω), in Greek writings:

1. properly,

a. actively, repelling a blow, striking back, echoing, reflecting light; resisting, rough, hard.

b. passively, struck back, repelled.

2. metaphorically, rough, harsh, obstinate, hostile. In the N. T. language ἀντίτυπον as a substantive means:

1. a thing formed after some pattern (τύπος (which see 4 a.)) (German Abbild): Hebrews 9:24 (R. V. like in pattern).

2. "a thing resembling another, its counterpart; something in the Messianic times which answers to the type" (see τύπος, 4 γ.) prefiguring it in the O. T. (German Gegenbild, English antitype), as baptism corresponds to the deluge: 1 Peter 3:21 (R. V. text after a true likeness).

Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from ἀντί (anti, meaning "against" or "in place of") and τύπος (tupos, meaning "type" or "pattern").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἀντίτυπος, the concept of typology is prevalent in the Hebrew Scriptures. The idea of types and their fulfillment can be seen in various Hebrew words and concepts, such as:

- Strong's Hebrew 8403 (תַּבְנִית, tabnith): Meaning "pattern" or "model," often used in the context of the tabernacle or temple as a pattern of heavenly realities.
- Strong's Hebrew 1823 (דְּמוּת, demuth): Meaning "likeness" or "form," used in contexts where something is made in the likeness of something else.

These Hebrew terms reflect the broader biblical theme of typology, where earthly patterns and symbols point to greater spiritual truths and fulfillments.

Usage: The word ἀντίτυπος is used in the New Testament to describe a reality that corresponds to a symbolic or typological precursor. It appears in contexts where the New Testament fulfillment is seen as the counterpart to an Old Testament type.

Context: The term ἀντίτυπος is found in the New Testament, specifically in the context of typology, where it denotes the fulfillment or reality that corresponds to a symbolic precursor. In 1 Peter 3:21, the word is used to describe baptism as an "antitype" of the salvation through water in the story of Noah's ark. The passage reads: "And this water symbolizes the baptism that now saves you also—not the removal of dirt from the body, but the pledge of a clear conscience toward God. It saves you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ" (BSB).

In this context, the floodwaters of Noah's time serve as a type, a prefiguration of the waters of baptism. Just as Noah and his family were saved through water, so too are believers saved through the waters of baptism, which is the antitype. The concept of antitype emphasizes the continuity and fulfillment of God's redemptive plan, where Old Testament events and symbols find their ultimate meaning and realization in the New Testament.

Theologically, ἀντίτυπος underscores the unity of Scripture, illustrating how the Old Testament foreshadows and the New Testament fulfills. It highlights the divine orchestration of salvation history, where earlier events and symbols are not isolated but are part of a larger, coherent narrative that culminates in Christ.
