Types are not Symbols. 
Symbols are not as close in likeness as types are, but they do hold a high significance. 
A symbol, unlike a type, is not usually shown ahead of time, but rather represents something that already exists.

The Definition of a Symbol
A symbol is that which stands for, or represents something else; a visible sign or representation of an idea or quality of another object.
a. A symbol in the Bible means that an object, animal, action, form, words or whatever else is involved has a deeper spiritual meaning than a simple, literal interpretation might suggest, while a type is an example of what is to come.  
b. A symbol reminds us of something. A sign or representation of something else.

Symbols applied to Jesus from the four Gospels:
In Matthew, a lion is the symbol of a King. 
Jesus, Lion from the tribe of Judah is The King of Kings.

In Mark, an ox is the symbol of strength and service. 
Jesus is The Servant who came to Serve.

In Luke, a man is the symbol of all mankind. 
Jesus is The Perfect Man.

In John, an eagle is the symbol of Spiritually. 
Jesus is The Son of God (in Spirit He is God).

Symbols
Fire. A symbol of the Presence of God:
In favor of Ex.3:2; 19:18 .
In judgment of, Gen. 19:24; Num. l6:34,35; Deut.4:24; 
   Heb. 12:29

Horns, are a symbol of Power. Dan.8:3,4.

Horns on the Brazen Altar, speak of the Power of His Blood (The Victory of the Cross and the saving power of Christ)! Horns on the Golden Altar, speak of the power of His Intercession (The Power of Prayer)!

A Dove is the symbol of Peace and Purity 
(A dove has no gall.)

Symbols as they apply to the Human Body:
Head: Mind.
Eye: Knowledge.
Ear: Listening.
Lips/Mouth: Testimony.
Shoulders: Strength (for burdens).
Breast: Affection.
Heart: Love.
Hands: Service.
Back, loins, thighs: Power and Strength.

Types are not the same as Prophecy.
Types are only in a sense a sort of Prophecy. 
Prophecy is the for telling of future events. Gen.49:l; Num.24:14.
Also speaking to people for edification and comfort. 
1 Cor.14:3.

There are three kinds of prophecy.
1. There is the gift of prophecy.
    1 Cor.ch.12  This is a teaching ministry. 
    Teaching us of what is to Come.
2. There is the Spirit of prophecy. 
    Rev.19:10; 1:1,19; 4:1; 7:1,9; 15:5; 18:1; 19:1 
    This is foretelling future events. Showings things to come.
3. There is fulfilled prophecy. 
    The purpose of this is Confirmation. Jn.13:19 
    All by the same Spirit!
    Two fifths of the Bible is prophecy. 
   All prophecy has already been fulfilled that applies 
   to Redemption, except the redemption of our bodies!
