The people were taught each day, by means of types and shadows, the great truths relative to the advent of Christ as Redeemer, Priest, and King; and once each year their minds were carried forward to the closing events of the great controversy between Christ and Satan, the final purification of the universe from sin and sinners. The sacrifices and offerings of the Mosaic ritual were ever pointing toward a better service, even a heavenly. {FLB 195.4}

Folk fik, ved forbilleder og skygger, daglig lærte de store sandheder der angår Kristi komme som Forløser, Præst, og Konge; og en gang hvert år blev deres tanker ført frem til de afsluttende begivenheder i den store strid mellem Kristus og Satan, universets endelige udrenselse af synd og syndere. Ofringerne efter det mosaiske ritual har altid peget mod en bedre tjeneste, endog en himmelsk tjeneste.
