                            Chapter 8 – Vision of the Ram, He-Goat & Little Horn
                   All these facts are plainly stated by Paul in a


               few verses to the Hebrews 8:4, 5: “For if he


               [Christ]  were  on  earth,  he  should  not  be  a


               priest, seeing that there are priests that offer


               gifts according to the law: who serve unto the


               example  and  shadow  of  heavenly  things,  as



               Moses was admonished of God when he was


               about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith


               he, that thou make all things according to the


               pattern  showed  to  thee  in  the  mount.”  This


               testimony  shows  that  the  ministry  of  the


               earthly  priests  was  a  shadow  of  Christ’s


               priesthood;  and  the  evidence  Paul  brings


               forward to prove it, is the direction which God


               gave  to  Moses  to  make  the  tabernacle,


               according  to  the  pattern  showed  him  in  the


               mount.  This  clearly  identifies  the  pattern


               showed  to  Moses  in  the  mount  with  the


               sanctuary,  or  true  tabernacle,  in  heaven,
