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

that the seven last plagues have not yet commenced to be
poured out. And until Christ closes forever his service as
priest, there will be some being in the sanctuary; for
there is no break in this work from beginning to end. p.
252, Para. 3, [LOOKING].
The scene of verse 8 cannot, therefore, transpire till the
sanctuary work is done. p. 252, Para. 4, [LOOKING].
The prototype of this scene is found in Ex. 40:34,35:
"Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the
glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle. And Moses was not
able to enter into the tent of the congregation, because
the cloud abode thereon, and the glory of the Lord filled
the tabernacle." This was at the commencement of the typical
work here on earth, as the scene described in Revelation
15 is at the close of the real work in heaven. Thus
this work, so far as it relates to man, is bounded at its
beginning and close with an overpowering manifestation of
the glory of God. The great God takes sole possession of
his own dwelling-place at the conclusion of Christ's ministry,
and thus sets his seal to the work which has been accomplished
therein. p. 253, Para. 1, [LOOKING].
Passing out from the sanctuary, we are now called upon to
look at the effects of the close of this work in scenes to
transpire here among men. A dissertation upon the subject
of the plagues is not called for in this place. (See the
subject discussed more at length in a work entitled "Daniel
and the Revelation," chapter 16.) We only glance here at
simply the most prominent features. p. 253, Para. 2,
[LOOKING].
As it has been shown that these plagues are future, and
are visited upon men at the close of probation, so there is
just a clear evidence that they will be literal. The first
falls upon the men who are guilty of that sin against which
the third message is warning the world to-day. A sore, noisome
and grievous, more corroding than the leprosy, more
stinging than blains, more painful than boils, breaks forth
upon those who have received the mark of the beast, and who
worship his image. p. 253, Para. 3, [LOOKING].
The second vial throws the sea into the most infectious
and deadly condition that can be conceived of; it becomes
like the blood of a dead man. If this applies to the oceans
of our globe, as there seems to be no reason why it may
