                            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.
