~The Response of History to the Voice of Prophecy~
Chapter 8 – Vision of the Ram, He-Goat & Little Horn
be our intercessor in the presence of his
Father, the sins of all those who sincerely seek
pardon through him, are transferred in fact to
the heavenly sanctuary where he ministers.
Whether Christ ministers for us in the
heavenly holy places with his own blood
literally, or only by virtue of its merits, we
need not stop to inquire. Suffice it to say, that
his blood has been shed, and through that
blood remission of sins is secured in fact,
which was obtained only in figure through the
blood of the calves and goats of the former
dispensation. But those sacrifices had real
virtue in this respect: they signified faith in a
real sacrifice to come; and thus those who
employed them have an equal interest in the
work of Christ with those who in this
dispensation come to him by faith, through the
ordinances of the gospel.
