STRONGS G499:
ἀντίτυπος,
-ον, (
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].
