Question

CopticBot.ai · Accepted Answer

D. Israel’s crossing of the Red Sea and the Jordan is named as an Old Testament shadow of baptism. These crossings foreshadow deliverance from the bondage of sin and Satan, entry into the Kingdom of God, and new life in Christ through baptism.

The correct answer is D. Israel’s crossing of the Red Sea and the Jordan. In biblical typology and patristic teaching, the crossing of the Red Sea delivered Israel from bondage in Egypt under Pharaoh, directly foreshadowing our deliverance from the bondage of sin and Satan through the waters of Holy Baptism (as confirmed by St. Paul in 1 Corinthians 10:1–2). Similarly, crossing the Jordan River into the Promised Land represents our entry into the Kingdom of God and new life in Christ through baptism.
