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

till the thousand years should be fulfilled." p. 262,
Para. 5, [LOOKING].
This is just such a movement in reference to Satan as we
might expect to occur on the supposition that he is the antitype
of the ancient scapegoat. Looking upon him as such
antitype, we watch for some transaction which will correspond
to the sending away of the goat anciently loaded with
sins, into the waste wilderness. p. 263, Para. 1, [LOOK-
ING].
And as we reach a point just subsequent to the cleansing
of the heavenly sanctuary, when, in the order of the sanctuary
work, the scapegoat should be sent away in antitype,
lo, an angel comes down from heaven, lays hold upon Satan,
binds him, and casts him into the bottomless pit for a
thousand years. And as we look upon this scene, we can but
involuntarily exclaim, Here is the sending away of the antitypical
scapegoat. p. 263, Para. 2, [LOOKING].
With this view, we can show the relation of the scene described
in Rev. 20:1-3, to other events, and give a reason
why it occurs. Without this, it comes in abruptly; and who
can tell why just this disposition, instead of some other,
is at this time made of the Devil? p. 263, Para. 3, [LOOK-
ING].
This scene occurs at just the right time to fulfil the antitype;
for it is immediately after Christ has finished his
work as priest. Secondly, the right agent is employed. The
goat anciently was not led away by the high priest, but by
the hand of another person. So here it is not Christ, our
great High Priest, who casts Satan into the bottomless pit,
but an angel; which admirably answers to the type. Thirdly,
he is cast into the right place. Anciently, the goat was
sent away into a waste wilderness, a land not inhabited.
the Devil is cast into the bottomless pit, corresponding
most fittingly to the former, as we shall see. p. 263,
Para. 4, [LOOKING].
This word (abussos), "bottomless pit," signifies an
"abyss, bottomless, deep, profound." It seems to be used to
denote any place of darkness, desolation, and death. Thus
in Rev. 9:1,2, it is applied to the barren wastes of the
Arabian desert, and in Rom. 10:7, to the grave. In Gen. 1:2
the same word is rendered "deep" in the declaration, "and
darkness was upon the face of the deep;" and here it must
