2 Timothy says Christ abolished death and brought life and immortality to light; Hebrews says Christ used death to break the one wielding death’s power and free those enslaved by fear of death.

Traditional Christological foreshadowing: Boaz can redeem because he belongs to the family; Hebrews describes Jesus sharing flesh and blood with those he calls brethren. The correspondence makes kinship a meaningful redemption mirror without claiming Hebrews is directly quoting or interpreting Ruth.

Foreshadowing / Mirroring: David acts as Israel’s representative champion and defeats the enemy who held the people in fear; Hebrews presents Jesus as the greater deliverer who defeats the one holding the power of death and frees those enslaved by fear. Hebrews does not cite David and Goliath, so this is a canonical typological pattern, not an explicit identification.
