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

3, [LOOKING].
To the question, "Where is it?" the answer is equally
plain. During the typical dispensation, it was here upon
earth; in the present antitypical dispensation, it is in
heaven. p. 274, Para. 1, [LOOKING].
What are its uses? -- It is the center around which all
the worship of God revolves, and to which every act of devotion

discourse itself. p. 275, Para. 1, [LOOKING].
What bearing has it upon the interpretation of the prophecies?
-- A bearing the most intimate. It shows that no prophetic
period reaches to the coming of the Lord, but only
to the comparatively short work called the "cleansing of
