CHAP. VIII. Representations of the Glory of Christ under the Old Testament.
IT is said of our Lord Jesus Christ, that beginning at Moses and all the Prophets, he declared unto his Disciples in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself, Luk. 24. 27. It is therefore manifest that Moses and the Prophets, ⟨p. 98⟩and all the Scriptures, do give Testimony unto him, and his Glory.

It is Faith alone, discovering the Glory of Christ, that can remove that veil of darkness which covers the minds of men in reading the Old Testament, as the Apostle declares, 2 Cor. 3. 14, 15, 16. I shall therefore consider briefly some of those ways and means whereby the glory of Christ was represented unto Believers under the Old Testament.
