The Cross and its Shadow - Stephen N. Haskell

ottom, (John 19:30) showing by an unmistakable
sign that type had met antitype. The shadow had
met the substance which cast the shadow. No
longer was man to approach God by means of
offerings of animals, but he was to come boldly to
a throne of grace, (Hebrews 4:15-16) and present
his request in the precious name of "Christ our
Passover." The work typified by the Passover
extends on down through the ages, and will not
have fully met its antitype until the children of God
are forever freed from the power of the enemy of
all righteousness.
It was at midnight that the destroying angel
passed throughout Egypt, and manifested his power
in delivering the people of God from bondage; so it
will be at midnight that God will manifest His
power for the final deliverance of His people.
(Exodus 12:29-30) The prophet, looking down
through the ages, says, "The people shall be
troubled at midnight, and pass away: and the
mighty shall be taken away without hand." (Job
34:20)
