(Romans 15:4.) A ynopsis follows:
Israel's experiences, services and sac
rifces took on a new Specification as
the Pastor explained the types and An
titypes of the Bible. By comparing
Scripture with Scripture he demonstra-
ted that Natural Israel typified in some
pictures Spiritual Israel-the Gospel
Church; but in others the unsaved
world of mankind, while their priest
hood typified the church. Again, the
establishment Of the Law Covenant un-
der Moses and the ceremonies connec-
ted Herewith were shown to repre-
sent the Inauguration Of the New Cove
nant under Christ, the great Antitypi-
cal Moses. First He will satisfy d.
vine Justice, represented in the books
of the Law, and then during His Mil
lennial Reign, He will antitypically
sprinkle the people with the blood of
the "better sacrifices" thus bringing
man into covenant relationship with
God.
In studying these types the speaker
declared it is necessary to keep them
separate and distinct Otherwise con-
fusion will result. St. Paul tells US that
the Law foreshadowed good things to
come; that Israel's priesthood was ty-
pical, and that the Royal Priesthood
were pictured by Melchizedek, uniting
in themselves the Offices of King and
priest, our Lord being the Chief King
and High Priest Heb. I'll, FL; 8: l:6.
The establishment Of the Law Cove
mani. under Moses was shown to be ty-
pical of the establishment of the New
Law Covenant under The Christ. AS
Moses was mediator of the Old Cove
nant, so The Christ will be the Mediator
of theNew Covenant, the great Prophet
of whom Moses foretold. (Deuteron-
omy 10: Is, 10; Acts 8: q, 23.) This
great Mediator will do for mankind
what Moses was unable to do for Israel
forgive their sins and lift them up to
human observation-disclosures will"
The Head of this great Prophet and
Mediator was raised up over eighteen
centuries ago Since then, God has
been raising up the Body of this Medi-
ator from amongst their brethren. Only
the consecrated followers of Christ be-
come members of this Mystical Body.
When Moses was preparing to medi-
ate the Law Covenant, he sprinkled
both the tables of the Law and the
Israelites with the blood of bulls and
goats slain for that purpose. EXODUS
24:3-S; Hebrews 9:l9-22.) There was a
great concourse of people to be sprinkled.
Therefore the blood of many bulls and
goats was necessary.
ANTlTYPIcAL DAY OF AToNEMENT.
Another type explained in detail was
that of Israel's Atonement Day. Their
high priest and the under priests repre-
sented the Royal Priesthood Of the
Gospel Age-Christ and His Church,
the remainder of the tribe of Levi rep
resenting the Great Company of Rev
citation 1917. Aaron, the high priest,
offered the Atonement Day sacrifices
and carried the blood into the Most
Holy, where he sprinkled it on the
Mercy Seat.
60 orr Lord Jesus. after His ascen. |
sion, appeared in the antitypical Most
Holy-Heaven itself-with His own
blood, which he presented for those
who would be Of His Body, the Church;
and He will again appear before the
Lords Goat class, which is ''for all the
Of pf0t the Church's sacrifice is all our
Lords, for it is really only another
of His own merit, through
His Body the Church. All this is the
work of this Gospel Age, the antitypical
Day.-Leviticus 1876;
Hebrews 13;11-l3.
The Pastor showed that the bullock
was a fitting representation of our Lord
Jesus as man; for He was perfect in
mind and body, full of zeal and strength.
The young bullock of sacrifice was
prime animal, with much fat, which
represented our Lords heart devotion
was burned upon the Brazen Altar in
of all within the Court. Thus is pic
tured the appreciation of our Lords
loving sacrifice shown by all believers
