An introduction to the critical study and knowledge of the Holy Scriptures . henJesus Chiist was sitting on the Mount of Olives, and his disciplescalled his attention to the temi)le, they jjointed out to him the giftswith which it was adorned. (Luke xxi. 5.) This porch had a verylarge portal or gate, which, instead of folding doors, was furnishedwith a costly Babylonian veil, of many colours, that mysticallydenoted the universe. (2.) The Sanctuary or Holy Place Avas separated from the holyof holies by a double veil, which is supposed to have been the veilthat was rent in twain at our Saviours crucifixion: thus emble-matically pointing out that the separation between Jews and Gentileswas abolished, and that the privilege of the high priest was com-municated to all mankind, who might henceforth have access to thethrcjne of grace through the one great mediator, Jesus Christ,(lleb. X. 19—22.) This corresponded with the Holy Place in theTabernacle. In it were placed the Golden Candlestick, the Altar ofIncense, and the Table of Shew-Bread. In the annexed engraving. Of the Temple. 267 is represented the form of the Golden Candle-stick as it wasactually carried in the triumphal procession of the Roman GeneralTitus; and the following engraving exhibits the Table of Shew-Bread, (on which were placed twelve loaves, according to the num-ber of the tribes of Israel,) with a cup upon it, and with two of thesacred trumpets, Avhich were used to proclaim the year of Jubilee,as they were also carried in the same triumph. They are copiedfrom the plates in Kelands Treatise on the Spoils of the Temple ofJerusalem^, the drawings for which were made at Rome towardsthe close of the seventeenth century, when the triumphal Arch ofTitus was in a much better state of preservation than it now is,from the injuries of time and weather.
