The Way Of Salvation

The Counsel of Peace has been mentioned previously; where Christ offered Himself, the Way of salvation from sin. Part of His plan was to demonstrate, before He came down to live with us, His Mission to the world in “types and symbols”. i.e. The dispensations of: the altar at the gate of Eden, family altars, the Mosaic Sanctuary and Solomon’s Temple in Jerusalem.

The Ladder that was recently mentioned, which is also Christ, can be seen in another application in this post today. It has also been referred to as “The Staircase to Glory”. 

This Sanctuary illustration begins on earth in our heart with sin at the lowest level and at each step progresses upward to Glory at the highest level of the Ladder or Staircase.
