First He will satisfy Divine Justice. represented in the books of the Law; and then, during His Miilennial Reign. He will antitypicaliy sprinkle the people with the blood of the bet ter 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 Israels priesthood was typical; 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. 7:17, 2l; S;1-6
 The establishment of the Law Cove. nant under Moses was shown to be l typical 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 Medi- ator of the New Covenant. the great Prophet of whom Moses foretold. Deuteronomy 1915. 19; Acts 3:22. 23.) This great Mediator will do for man kind what Moses was unable to do for lsrael-forgive their sins and lift them up to human perfection .whosoever will.'

 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 Cos pei Age-Christ and His Church. the remainder of the tribe of Levi repre- sentlng the Great Company of Revela- ton 7:9-17. Aaron. the high priest. of Tered the Atonement Day sacrifices and carried the blood into the Most Holy. where he sprinkled 1t on the Mercy Seat.
 Sc our Lord Jesus. after Ills aseen- sion. appeared in the antitypical Most Holy-Heaven itself-with His own blood, which He presented for those who would be of His Body, tht Church. and He will again appear ba fore the Mercy Seat to present the blood of the Lords Goat class. which is flor all the people"-the whole world. The merit of the Church's sac rifice is all our Lords; for it is really only another presentation of His own merit. through His Body. the Church.

Thus is pictured the apprecia. ton of our Lords loving sacrifice shown by all believers. The burning ct the hide. flesh. etc. outside the Camp signifies that Jesus sacrifice is a stench in the nostrils of the unbeliev- ing world-those outside the antitypical l Court The third fire. the incense on the Golden Altar in the Holy, repre- sented Gods appreciation of our Re deemer's sacrifice
