The Christ typified in the former dispensation is the Christ revealed in the gospel dispensation. The clouds that then enshrouded his divine form have been rolled back; the mists and shadows have disappeared; and he stands revealed, not as the Jewish nation expected, as a powerful king who would conquer their enemies and achieve for them glorious victories, but as a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief. His divinity is now hid, not under a cloud, but under the garb of humanity.

Kristi billede i den tidligere forordning, er åbenbaret i evangeliets forordning. Skyerne der omgav hans guddommelige form er blevet rullet til side; sløret og skyggerne er forsvundet; og han står åbenbar, ikke som det jødiske folk forventede, som en magtfuld konge som ville besejre deres fjender og opnå for dem herlige sejre, men som et sorgens menneske, kendte til bedrøvelse. Nu er hans guddommelighed skjult, ikke under en sky, men under menneskehedens forklædning.
