Wilson’s Dictionary of Bible Types
BY Walter L. Wilson
Bible typology is the systematic classification of Bible terms, concepts, and people that have common characteristics or traits. This is an earthly situation or concept that reflects a heavenly or spiritual “antitype”. The type being the representation in the allegory, and the antitype being the original spiritual meaning. A Dictionary of Bible Types examines over 1,000 types, shadows, signs, symbols, pictures, figures, and patterns in the Bible with topics ranging from “Aaron” to “Yoke.” (See warning below)

Warning for any Bible Types work
The identification and “decoding” of biblical allegories and types is very difficult. Mostly we are sure about these where the Bible itself does this decoding, and otherwise, be very, very careful about dogmatically declaring some explanation to be the absolute definite declaration on the issue. While it is possible to gain insight on Scripture by examining Types, you should not build doctrine solely on types.

Excerpt of “Babylon” from Wilson’s Dictionary of Bible Types
Jeremiah 50:14 (b) Throughout chapters 50,51of this book, the actual city of Babylon is directly in view, but what is said about that city indicates clearly that it refers to the great religions and idolatries of the world which seek to depose GOD and enthrone their own philosophies. This is particularly true of Jeremiah 51:6 and Jeremiah 51:8 which evidently refer to the same situation that we find in the New Testament.
Revelation 17:5 (b) This is plainly a type of the great false religious systems of the world, particularly Romanism, which knew nothing of the grace of GOD, nor the Blood of Christ, nor the personal ministry of the Holy Spirit. It refers to those religious sects and heresies which deny the faith of our fathers, and reject the truth of GOD. Babylon is represented as a woman.
Revelation 18:2 (b) As in the above Scripture we see the religious side of false religions So in this verse we find the political aspect of those great apostate religions, the political-religious world. Under this description, we see the wickedness of the merchants, the politics of the church, and the filthiness of her society which are all to be brought under the judgment of GOD. We should note that in Revelation 18:13, the last two items of merchandise of this great apostate religious group consists of slaves (bodies and souls of men). This is particularly true of the Romish church, whose members are slaves in body, soul, and spirit to their religious leaders. This Babylon is described as a city in Revelation 18:16.

It is my opinion that theWord Bible Software is the most superior Bible Application there is! It can be tailored for the Beginner, in a simple form. Additionally; it can be tailored median, or; advanced. Module add on's make this the Student's Study Tool, or; The Ph.D. Head pastors Study / Teaching / Preaching Tool! To Conclude: I think it's just Wonderful! TY for it's developers - God Guided No Doubt!

What a blessing this software is. Not only that, it just blows me away that it is for free being that it is by far the best, and I mean the best Bible software out there in the market today.
You can either get the DVD, the flash drive (theWord on the go) or make your own backup copies and freely distribute them to people who actually need this software, those that don't know about it yet.
I have used every bible software program out there for years, including the famous Logos which I believe is just to overwhelming for anyone to use... and theWord is by far the best of the best.
It is just great software, ingeniously designed, powerful and fast.
I am a programmer myself however, I don't know what was used in the making of this software but it truly shows in its smooth performance and it caters to the bible student and those using it.
It has room to even get better I am sure but I am so happy with the latest version.
My hats off to theWord staff on what I feel is a beautiful creation of one of the most important tools one can have to study the bible in these last days.
BRAVO and to God all the Glory!
