tions which the high priest presented before the Lord. This<br />

showed forth the divine guidance which he grants to those<br />

who seek to walk in his ways. And lastly, a plate of purest<br />

gold upon the miter of the priest, was engraved with these<br />

solemn words, "Holiness to the Lord." This certainly would<br />

be a constant reminder to them of the great object to be<br />

attained by means of all this service, and the character<br />

which should be sustained by that people who sought to compass<br />

the altars of the Lord. p. 106, Para. 2, [<strong>LOOK<strong>IN</strong>G</strong>].<br />

Thus everything connected with the Hebrew worship was suggestive<br />

of Christ, was calculated to raise their minds to<br />

high and holy things, to conduct them to the truth, and to<br />

be to the world the great highway to lead them forward to<br />

the coming of Him who should in due time appear as the<br />

light and life of men. p. 107, Para. 1, [<strong>LOOK<strong>IN</strong>G</strong>].<br />

THE reader will now understand why so much space has been<br />

given to a consideration of the earthly sanctuary and its<br />

history. It is because Paul, in plain and explicit language,<br />

declares that that building erected by Moses at the<br />

command of God, and which was perpetuated in the temples<br />

built by Solomon, Zerubbabel, and Herod, was the sanctuary<br />

of the first covenant; and it was important to see how<br />

prominent a place that held in the former dispensation. The<br />

word "sanctuary" occurs in the Old Testament one hundred<br />

and forty times, and in almost every instance refers to<br />

this building. It was no insignificant object, it was no<br />

trifle in the divine economy of that age. It is everywhere<br />

held before us as the sanctuary, the holy place, the sacred<br />

place, the dwelling place of the Most High among the children<br />

of men. And Paul presents the complement to all these<br />

declarations when he declares so clearly that this was the<br />

sanctuary of the first covenant. p. 108, Para. 2, [LOOK-<br />

<strong>IN</strong>G].<br />

We desire the reader to appreciate the full value which<br />

this statement possesses in this investigation. From this<br />

there is no appeal. Here all believers in the Bible must<br />

occupy common ground. Here, for the space of fifteen hundred<br />

years, all are brought together on this subject. From<br />

Moses to Christ, this object, and no other, was the sanctuary<br />

of the Bible. And the history of this sanctuary has<br />

been traced down to 70 A.D., when it disappeared, and there
