Gospel in Leviticus
By Joseph Seiss
Introduction Leviticus
Moses and his Third Book—What is the Gospel?—The many ways in which it is presented—Natural Symbols of Christ—The value of Types in conveying instruction—Nature and Revelation.
Moses was one of those miraculous men, of whom there have been but a few. History tells not of another like him, unless it be the Savior, whom he so much resembled. Christ and he stand out upon the records of the past, as two great mountains, broad and high—the Alps of the ages—where earth and heaven touch; where the human connects with the divine. They head the two great dispensations of God thus far. All that the heavenly Father has delivered to us as yet, is comprised in the Law and the Gospel; and the one was “given by Moses,” and the other “came by Jesus Christ.” About one-third of the Old Testament was written by this remarkable man. It was through him that inspiration first broke forth in a steady and continued stream. He was, and remains, the great Lawgiver and Historian of the world.
Leviticus is the third in the order of his inspired writings. It is a book which treats of the offices, rites, services, and feasts of the Hebrew religion, as given in the charge of the priests—the sons of Levi. Hence its title, Λευιτιχον—Leviticus—that is, what relates to Levi. The Talmudists denominated it “The Law of the Priests”—”The Law of the Offerings.” Either of these titles sufficiently describes it. seiss-gospel-in-leviticus.gbk.twm (416 downloads )
