Purpose of the SANCTUARY [DOCTRINE]

"On Him was laid the iniquity of us all, [Isa.liii,6,] and He bare our sins in His own body on the tree. 1Pet.ii,24.
In this connection study carefully Hebrews, chapters, vii-x. 

--Christ, then, is the great antitype of the offerings connected with

the typical sanctuary; 

--and he who brought his victim to the door of the tabernacle, to be then slain on account of his transgression, through that sacrifice pointed to “the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.”

Thus, was instituted that system of types and shadows that through them the people of that dispensation might lay hold on the merits of a coming Savior.

--and that we, while there is now no sanctuary on earth with its ministration carried on before us, 

might look back upon these, 

and thus learn the work of the heavenly Sanctuary where our great High Priest is now ministering for us." 

Uriah Smith
