The same ground could be gone over in connection with all the ritual ordained by Moses as accompanying the tabernacle service. The setting apart of the priests and Levites; their jealously recorded genealogies, proving the Scripture account of the position of Aaron and his sons, and that of the tribe of Levi as first set apart for their appointed service; the numerous illusions to the various feasts and offerings, woven into the very web and woof of Scripture; much of the doctrinal teaching of the New Testament, of the epistle to the Galatians, and the Hebrews in particular, depending on an unquestioned acknowledgment of the service of Moses as its Mediator, and Aaron as its High Priest,-all this is a vast volume of evidence fulfilling Mark No. 4. In addition to this, we have the beautiful and wonderful unfolding of the types, as fulfilled in our Lord Jesus Christ. The late Sir Robert Anderson has put on record how much he was indebted to typology for the proof to him of the truth of Christianity.
We thus see how these memorials and actions commenced at the very time that the matter of fact occurred. A little reflection will prove to us that, taking into account the nature of the things we are considering, this must be so.
