THE TYPICAL SYSTEM
A Sevenfold Act
The Paschal institution of Egypt was a sevenfold, arranged ordinance, and every constituent part constitutes the basis for a similar development in the spiritual dispensation. Its characteristic feature affects and governs the ultimate principles, and it stands as a matrix or model which fashions and regulates the corresponding parts that belong to the spiritual unfoldings of the progressive plan.
The Constituent Parts of the Paschal Institution
1. The feast of the unleavened bread.
2. The selection of the lamb on the 10th of the month.
3. The blood-sign on the door posts.
4. The Passover-supper of the evening.
6. The Passover-act.
7. The movement of the morning.
The Shadow and the Object
Guided by the prophetic declarations and symbols, we now will show how the Paschal event of Egypt, as a fundamental basis for the development of the two comings of Christ, regulates these events, and how they in every part correspond with the Mosaic movement. It requires the two comings of Christ to form the object which reflects its image back there in Egypt. Hence, those comings are connected in the dual plan, as two branches in the trunk of a tree are connected, and they are similar in development. On this around alone can we arrive at a true understanding of the second coming of Christ.
