A Depth and Richness found no other way
By prayerful search and an interpretation of these things by the holy ghost we see in the Old Testament, starting with Cain and Abel, many types and symbols found between Eden and the Cross. In these symbols are found a depth and richness of study that cannot be found in any other way. No man will ever receive a full knowledge of the life of Christ, and what his work was for, without a previous knowledge of the deep blood stained foundations in the Old Testament gospels of Moses and the prophets.
We read the words of Paul, the great teacher of the Gentiles, as he was writing to his fellow men, the Jews, saying unto them, "It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these." Heb. 9:23. The Jews knew the Old Testament well and could make the connection between the old and new. Looking at the words of Paul from this view point, we can now see forward. By keeping the "figures of the true" for our guide into God's plan, we see not only the church dispensation, but into heaven itself, even into the New Jerusalem.
