Wilson's Dictionary of Bible Types
2 Chronicles 3:3 (c) This is probably a type of the Lord JESUS CHRIST who was the most magnificent and the most glorious person ever to dwell on earth.
1 Corinthians 3:9 (a) This is plainly a type of the church of GOD, which is the dwelling place of GOD on the earth. It does not refer to any denomination, nor any building of wood or stone. It refers to the gathering together of those who are saved by grace, washed in the blood of the Lamb, redeemed by power, and are actually and truly the children of GOD.
2 Corinthians 51:1 (a) This type is used to describe the new body which each believer will have after the resurrection.
Ephesians 2:20-21 (a) In this place the building is used as a type of the church which the Lord is constructing by saving souls, bringing them into His family, and attaching them to each other by invisible bonds. CHRIST is constructing for Himself a dwelling place on earth among His own children. This is called "the church" of which He Himself is the cornerstone, He is the architect and the contractor.
Hebrews 9:11 (a) The type here evidently refers to the personal body of the Lord JESUS. He calls it a temple which men would seek to destroy, but which He would raise up in three days. (See also John 2:19).
