Amongst the Levites were several
divisions representing different
ranks and grades of the Church of
Christ. But the principal division
OF section of the Levites was the
priestly family of Aaron, just as
there is a special class amongst the
antitypical Levites, the faithful few,
known in the Scriptures as the Roy

THE ANTITYPIcAL LAMB AND HIS
BLOOD
In Jesus day the time had come
| for the fulfillment of the antitype of
the Passover. Jesus himself was
| to be the Passover Lamb. By faith
the merit of his sacrifice, his blood
was to be sprinkled upon the door
posts of his peoples hearts, and his
flesh, the merit of his earthly per-
lection, was to be eaten, or appro-
priated by them in their minds.
/ With it they were to eat the unleav-
ened bread of the Divine promises
and the bitter herbs of trials and
adversities, and withal they were to
/ drink wine, the blood of the grape,
symboically implying their partici-
patton with the lamb in his igno
niny and suferings.
The Lamb of God, Jesus, the an
titypical Passover Lamb, was slain
nearly nineteen centuries ago on
the exact anniversary of the killinp
of the typical lambs. The sacrifice
/ of Jesus needs not to be repeated,
i for by faith we all sprinkle this
same blood to-day, and in our
hearts feed upon the merit of the
same earthly sacrifice, and have
plenty of bitter herbs of persecu-
ton and drink of the blood share
the Masters spirit and it's reward
| of suffering for righteousness sake
| Not many have appreciated these
privileges during all these nineteen
I Icenturies-in all but little flock. =
i Nor are there many who envy them
their present experiences; nor are
there many who appreciate how
great will be their reward and bless
ing in the life to come. Then, in
stead of suffering with Christ, they
shall reign with him in glory, honor
and Immortality.

the lamb, the Master used bread,
and instead of the blood, the fruit

commemoration of the type, he
directed that this be done in re-

Lamb of God which taketh away

great blessings to result for Israel
and all the families of the earth.
Our Lord as Jew was obligated
