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

Therefore to go into the holy place, or first apartment, is
to go through or "within" the vail, as Paul uses the term.
And this passage is exactly parallel with Heb. 6:19,20.
Christ, our forerunner, is entered within the vail, to make
this living way for us into the holy places. But Christ
does not minister in, nor open the way for us into, both of
the places at once. This would outrage all order, and do
violence to the type. He ministers in the first apartment
till that department of the work is finished, then goes
within the "second" vail, to accomplish the last division
of his solemn work, which is to cleanse the sanctuary, and
make once for all a disposition of the sins of those who
have sought pardon through his blood. p. 130, Para. 1,
[LOOKING].
Here are harmony, reason, and Scripture, a divine triumvirate,
to oppose which it would seem that one must deliberately
close his eyes to the light. p. 130, Para. 2, [LOOK-
ING].
A slight transposition of Heb. 10:19,20, will show that
Paul by the term "vail," there refers to the literal vail
of the sanctuary, and not to Christ's flesh; but Christ's
flesh, or his sacrifice, is the new and living way which he
hath consecrated for us. Thus: "Having therefore, brethren,
boldness to enter through the vail into the holy places, by
the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way which he hath
consecrated for us, that is to say, his flesh." p. 131,
Para. 1, [LOOKING].
It will be noticed that Paul in the epistle to the Hebrews,
goes back invariably to the tabernacle as erected by
Moses, not to the sanctuary as embodied in the temple. On
this he founds all his illustrations, and makes his declarations.
In the time of Christ it is said that the opening
to the holy place was composed of huge folding doors; and
the only vail was that which hung between the holy and the
most holy place. This will explain why the evangelists refer
to that by the single words, "the vail;" for there was
no other. But Paul, in Heb. 6:19,20, draws his illustration
from the tabernacle of Moses, which had a vail for the door
of the holy place, as well as a vail for a door to the most
holy place. Hence "within the vail," in Heb. 6:19,20 means
only past the first vail, or door, into the holy place. p.
131, Para. 2, [LOOKING].
