Chapter 8 – Vision of the Ram, He-Goat & Little Horn
40. (To the same end see Exodus 26:30;

27:8; Acts 7:44.)

Now of what was the earthly sanctuary a type,

or figure? Answer: Of the sanctuary of the new

covenant, the “true tabernacle, which the Lord

pitched, and not man.” The relation which the

first covenant sustains to the second

throughout, is that of type to antitype. Its

sacrifices were types of the greater sacrifice of

this dispensation; its priests were types of our

Lord, in his more perfect priesthood; their

ministry was performed unto the shadow and

example of the ministry of our High Priest

above; and the sanctuary where they

ministered, was a type, or figure, of the true

sanctuary in heaven, where our Lord

performs his ministry.
