[Bates’ Pamphlet #3] An Explanation of the Typical and Anti-typical Sanctuary by the Scriptures

EXPLANATION OF THE CHART:

IT appears that God’s instruction to Moses on Mount Sinai, was the most simple and yet the most impressive imaginable, viz: SHADOWS. When the sun shines, how clearly the shadows of things, animate and inanimate, appear. Even little children, without the aid of books, can understand them. How impossible to counterfeit the shadows of every day scenes around us. BP3 127.1

Then, by giving a little attention to the instructions of God to Moses, in the Mount, we may clearly understand the ministrations of Jesus, our high priest in the holy places in heaven, since his ascension. BP3 127.2

By following this instruction we may learn the manner, time and termination of the daily ministration of Jesus in the heavens, etc. etc. BP3 127.3

Take one example of this teaching. The time in which God delivered his people from Egypt, about 3440 years ago, they were directed to kill a lamb at 3 o’clock in the afternoon, on the 14th day of the first month, viz: Abib or April; This was to be continued at its appointed season every year, and thus more than fifteen hundred years passed on to the 14th day of the 1st month, A. D. 31, even at three o’clock in the afternoon, and Jesus the Lamb of God yielded up the ghost. This certainly was exact. Can any other type fail? No, no. “And look that thou make them after the pattern which thou was caused to see in the mount.” Exodus 25:40. BP3 127.4

“For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made,” etc. Romans 1:20. What things? A part of what is drafted in the Chart, teaching us more clearly the “Present Truth,” viz. The SABBATH AND SHUT DOOR. BP3 127.5
