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

fulfilment; namely, that the antitype commences upon the
day of the type, but may extend forward a great distance.
p. 217, Para. 1, [LOOKING].
We are still partaking of Christ our Passover, as the
church has been for the past eighteen centuries. We are
still keeping the feast of unleavened bread. And the holy
Spirit which came down on the day of Pentecost, as the antitype
of the feast on that day, still abides with the
church of Christ. (Read carefully 1 Cor. 5:7,8; John
14:16.) So with the work in the holiest on the day of
atonement, the tenth day of the seventh month. Its antitype
must commence at that time, and, of course, must occupy a
space of time corresponding to its magnitude and importance;
but being one of the fall types, one of the closing
festivals of the year, and occupying only a part of a day
out of a round of service that covered an entire year, the
antitypical atonement must be comparatively brief in its
duration. p. 217, Para. 2, [LOOKING].
But right here apparently from some unaccountable unwillingness
to concede that the cleansing of the sanctuary has
been going forward since the end of the days in 1844, the
claim is set up that the 2300 days do not extend to the
cleansing of the sanctuary, but only to the antitypical day
of atonement; and that as there were preliminary offerings
to be made on that day, before the real work of cleansing
the sanctuary was entered upon, so now, although the 2300
days have ended, we are yet only in that preliminary work,
and the cleansing of the sanctuary has not commenced. p.
218, Para. 1, [LOOKING].
But few words are needed in reply to this proposition. We
do not read anywhere in the Bible of such a period as the
"antitypical day of atonement." It may be proper enough to
apply this expression to the time actually covered by the
work of the antitypical cleansing of the sanctuary. We may
speak of this as the antitypical "day" of atonement, confining
it to the time while the sanctuary is being
cleansed; but as the Bible nowhere uses the expression, so
it nowhere countenances the idea of any antitypical day of
atonement extending outside of the work of atonement itself.
p. 218, Para. 2, [LOOKING].
To say that the 2300 days do not extend to the cleansing
of the sanctuary, is squarely to contradict Dan. 8:13,14,
which says that at that time the sanctuary shall be
