types and anti-types

“Let no one hastily conclude that there are no evidences of Restitution about us, nor that the Sun of Righteousness is not already gilding the watch towers (the prophets and others so appointed) of Zion and enlightening the world. Let him, on the contrary, reflect that we are already in the day...

“Having shown from both the Law the prophetic account the evidence of the Jubilee prophecy, let us state this last proof or evidence in another form, for the benefit of some still troubled, thus: The full number of Jubilee cycles which God had ordained was seventy, as shown by the plain...

Prophetic Evidences Corroborative “While the previous evidence shown in our last post is strong and clear just as it stands, we now present prophetic testimony which proves that we began counting the Great Cycle (50 x 50) at the right point. Our Heavenly Father knew the fear and trembling with...

The Time of our Lord’s Second Advent Revealed “Having determined from our previous post that the great antitypical Jubilee, the “Times of Restitution of all things” was reached in October A.D. 1874, let us consider what must follow, from the standpoint of reason, and then see if any other...

“As we shall shortly see that, reckoned from the beginning of the seventy years of desolation under Babylon, the great cycle ends with the year A.D. 1875, it will be manifest to all that this great cycle (the antitype) could not have commenced at an earlier date, prior to the Babylonian...

“That the antitype of the Jubilee did not in any sense begin (i.e., take place) when the Israelite's ceased to observe (the last typical event) is evident; hence it must be that the grand cycle began to count then, even though Israel and all the world are completely ignorant of the fact, and of...

“It is important to note that the Jubilee applied NOT to Israel’s priesthood (typical of the Gospel Church), but to the others only; for the priesthood was given no possessions (no inheritance in the earth, whether of property or family), and hence could neither lose any nor have any restored...

Israel's Jubilee Year “The year of Jubilee was a Sabbath of rest and refreshing, both to the people and to the land, which God gave them. It was the chief of a series of Sabbaths or rests. They had a Sabbath DAY every seventh day; and once every year (following Passover) these typical...

"For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or one stroke of a letter will pass away from the law until all things are accomplished (until everything prophesied to take place has reached its fulfillment)." (Matt 5:18) “It is only when we recognize the...

In Exodus Chapter 12 we read of the institution of the Passover. “The term Passover signifies to pass by or spare from an affliction. When the last plague was visited upon Egypt, the houses of the Israelite's were all marked with the blood of a slain lamb, that the destroying angel might not...

"Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees (Doctors of the Law then, now days referred to as Doctors of Divinity), you hypocrites! You shut the kingdom of heaven (the spiritual or heavenly phase of the kingdom) in men's faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are...

A list of the parallels between the Jewish age and the Gospel age, continued from our previous post. 1) An Advent Movement took place at the Time of Jesus' Birth, thirty years prior to His Advent and Anointing, as Messiah at His Baptism (Matt. 2:1-16; Acts 10:37, 38) Actual presence of the...

We would now like to take a look at the correspondences or parallels between the two houses of Israel. Number (1) refers to prophecy relating to the Jewish age and the fleshly house, and number (2) relates to the Gospel age and the spiritual house. 1) The House of servants 1 Cor. 10:18; Rom...

“God's dealings with the nation of Israel were of a typical character; yet few have any adequate conception of how fully this was the case. It has doubtless been observed by many that the apostles, particularly the apostle Paul, in instructing the Christian Church, frequently refer to some...

“And He will be as a sanctuary, but a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense to both the houses of Israel, as a trap and a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem. And many among them shall stumble; they shall fall and be broken, be snared and taken.” Isa 8:14, 15 We believe the following will...
