14, 16. Christ’s Death Lifts the Veil—The death of Jesus Christ for the redemption of man lifts the veil and reflects a flood of light back hundreds of years, upon the whole institution of the Jewish system of religion. Without the death of Christ all this system was meaningless. The Jews reject Christ, and therefore their whole system of religion is to them indefinite, unexplainable, and uncertain. They attach as much importance to shadowy ceremonies of types which have met their antitype as they do to the law of the ten commandments, which was not a shadow, but a reality as enduring as the throne of Jehovah. The death of Christ elevates the Jewish system of types and ordinances, showing that they were of divine appointment, and for the purpose of keeping faith alive in the hearts of His people (The Review and Herald, May 6, 1875).{6BC 1097.2}

14, 16. Kristi død opløfter sløret. - Jesu Kristi død for at frelse mennesket løfter sløret og kaster en flod af lys tilbage over hundreder af år over hele det jødiske religionssystem. Uden Kristi død var hele dette system meningsløst. Jøderne fornægter Jesus og derfor er hele deres religionssystem uklart, uforklarligt og usikkert for dem. De tillægger ceremonier, der allerede har set sit modstykke lige så megen betydning, som de gør til tibudsloven, som ikke var en skyggelov, men en realitet, der vil vare lige så længe som Jehovas trone. Kristi død ophøjer det jødiske system af symboler og forordninger og viser, at de var af guddommelig bestemmelse og havde til hensigt at holde troen i live i folkets hjerter (RH 6. maj, 1875).
