1830 Circular Letter of the Kehukee Association

ALL THE BLOODY SACRIFICES of the Jews under the ceremonial law, their priests, &c. must surely point as intentional figures, ordained of God, to set forth the great and bloody atonement which should be made by Jesus Christ, in the fulness of the time on Calvary’s hill, for sinners. The sin offering, the trespass, burnt, peace, with all other offerings of a bloody nature; as well as the beast led to the door of the tabernacle, on whose head the priest laid his hands and confessed the sins of the Jewish nation; all bear evident marks of God’s intention, and preached to the Jewish nation the great atonement of Jesus Christ in these shadows; who should in the fulness of times bear the sins of men in his body on the tree, and by his blood purge their consciences from dead works to serve the living God, and obtain eternal redemption for them.
