holy place must be the last part of his ministry as priest,<br />

and the finishing of his work of mediation for the world.<br />

For Christ does not complete a round of service once every<br />

year as was done in the type, but comprehends all his work<br />

in one great round of service, once for all. It was necessary<br />

in the type to make the periods of ministry short, so<br />

that the same high priest could go through the entire service,<br />

and thus be a consistent type of Christ. Making these<br />

periods one year each in length, would accomplish this. But<br />

each of these yearly rounds of service shadowed forth<br />

Christ's one great round of service once for all, which<br />

will be forever completed by the service he performs at<br />

last in the most holy place. p. 123, Para. 2, [<strong>LOOK<strong>IN</strong>G</strong>].<br />

There are conclusions to be drawn, by and by, from the<br />

premises here laid down, so momentous and startling that we<br />

pause a moment to fortify the position that Christ ministers<br />

in two apartments of the heavenly sanctuary, by answering<br />

here two special objections which are often urged<br />

against it. p. 124, Para. 1, [<strong>LOOK<strong>IN</strong>G</strong>].<br />

1. -- WITH<strong>IN</strong> THE VAIL. CONCLUSIVE proof has been offered<br />

that Christ commenced his ministry in the first apartment<br />

of the heavenly sanctuary, and answers have been given to<br />

some of the less weighty objections which are offered<br />

against that view. A few more points remain to be noticed.<br />

p. 126, Para. 1, [<strong>LOOK<strong>IN</strong>G</strong>].<br />

Paul's testimony in Heb. 6:19,20, is quoted to prove that<br />

when Christ ascended, he must have entered into the most<br />

holy place: "Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul,<br />

both sure and steadfast, and which entereth into that<br />

within the vail; whither the forerunner is for us entered,<br />

even Jesus, made an high Priest forever after the order of<br />

Melchisedec." p. 126, Para. 2, [<strong>LOOK<strong>IN</strong>G</strong>].<br />

The claim here instituted is that "the vail," within which<br />

Christ has entered, signifies the vail dividing between the<br />

holy and most holy places; and if Christ entered within<br />

that vail when he ascended, or if he was there when Paul<br />

wrote, he was in the most holy place. p. 126, Para. 3,<br />

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

If we grant this claim, some conclusions follow which de-
