2. These two Pillars were Types of Christs Apostles, of the Apostles of Circumcision, and of the Uncircumcision. Therefore, the Apostle Paul also calleth them Pillars, Gal. 2. And saith, That that Pillar on the Right-hand was a Type of himself, and his Companions, who were to go to the Uncircumcised and teach the Gentiles the way of Life. When James, Cephas, and John saith, He who seemed to be PILLARS, perceived the Grace that was given unto me, They gave unto me and Barnabas the Right-hand of Fellowship, that we should go unto the Heathen, and they unto the Circumcision. Gal. 2.9.
So then, These two Pillars were Types of these two Orders of the Apostles in this their divers Service for God.
3. And that Paul and Barnabas was signified by those on the Right-hand, To wit, To be the Apostles of the Gentiles, He showeth again, where he saith, I am the Minister of Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the Grace of God, that the Offering up of the Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Ghost. Rom. 11.13. chap. 15, 16.
