LOOKING UNTO JESUS OR CHRIST IN TYPE AND ANTITYPE. BY ...

important times, it is Oct. 22, 1844, when the last prophetic
measurement of the Holy Scriptures reached its termination,
and the great work in heaven began, which it was
designed to mark. p. 215, Para. 3, [LOOKING].
But O! say some, that is altogether too definite; that is
presuming to know too much in regard to what is going on in
heaven. Is it? Then please look the ground over again. Go
over each step carefully, and above all prayerfully, with a
desire to know the truth. The whole Mosaic dispensation,
one of the great dispensations connected with the development
of the plan of redemption among men, teaches us in regard
to the sanctuary, and shows what its cleansing is. p.
216, Para. 1, [LOOKING].
That dispensation, in the fulness of time, came to its end
and was succeeded by the gospel. In this dispensation both
Paul and John assure us that the original sanctuary, of
which that of Moses was but a shadow, the true tabernacle,
is in heaven where our Lord now ministers for us. This
sanctuary Paul shows must be cleansed (of sin) in reality,
as the typical one was in figure. The prophet Daniel marks
off a prophetic period reaching down 1813 years into this
dispensation, and says that then the sanctuary shall be
cleansed; and these are not his words, but those uttered
directly by a heavenly being. History comes forward with
testimony that cannot be challenged, and shows that those
days ended in the autumn of 1844; and then the types show
that by divine appointment, the antitype must meet the type
in point of time, and that the cleansing of the sanctuary
was fixed to the tenth day of the seventh month, which in
the year when Daniel's great prophetic period ended, was
October 22. Are not these points all well established? Is
there anything wrong in the application of the Scriptures?
anything indefinite in the testimony of history? anything
false in the logic? Do not type and antitype, Scripture,
history, analogy, and reason, all combine to establish here
a most tremendous truth? However startling may be the conclusion,
if it is logically drawn from premises in which
there is no defect, it must be accepted. And is it not one
of the grandest truths that can exercise the human mind, to
know that God has so revealed himself that we can not only
trace the development of his work in the earth, but read
the counterpart going forward at the same time in heaven?
