The Cross and Its Shadow

Annotated

Beschreibung

An in-depth study of the Old Testament tabernacle or sanctuary, "The Cross and It's Shadow" delves into what author Stephen N. Haskell calls "the most wonderful object lesson ever given to mankind." Drawing solely from Scripture, Haskell provides a clear, concise understanding of how the Old Testament sanctuary captures the entire theme of the gospel. Readers will learn each facet of the sanctuary and its services, the different offerings and feasts, and the work of the High Priest, which directly illustrates the gospel of salvation through Jesus Christ. As the book so clearly points out, "in the sanctuary, the cross of Christ is the great center of the whole scheme of human redemption. Around it clusters every truth of the Bible." Scripture references abound in this book, which covers types versus antitypes, the Biblical feasts, the priesthood, Levitical laws and ceremonies, and the use of the urim and thummim to discover God's will. The twelve tribes, the significance of Jacob's son's names, the prophecies of Jacob, and even the 144,000 all come within the purview of this Scripture-based book. "The Cross and It's Shadow" presents a clear contrast between the earthly sanctuary and the heavenly sanctuary, as well as an enlightening overview of both the daily and annual responsibilities of the priests. Ellen G. White, a contemporary and personal friend of Stephen Haskell's, encouraged him to write this book, which lives up to her endorsement. This book is an absolute must for any Bible student desiring a better understanding of the Old Testament sanctuary and the meaning of the its symbols, ordinances, and services.

Autor

Stephen Haskell was described as being a large, slow-moving man who was very deliberate-yet somehow irresistible in speech. He had a flowing beard, a shovel-tipped nose, and his hair, which became gray and then white as he aged, was described as a "luxuriant mane." Those who heard Pastor Haskell speak said that, in manner and speech, he was a typical old-fashioned New Englander. His English was not always perfect, and his Yankee dialect never left him, but his earnest, kindly smile always made friends. A fatherly figure, Haskell earned the affection of thousands of spiritual children. He grew with the years-alternatively serving as a preacher, executive, author, and publisher. But most importantly, Haskell was a lay leader for the church, using his talents for literature, correspondence, and personal missionary work. An accomplished organizer and administrator, Pastor Haskell served for years as a conference president within the Seventh-day Adventist Church. At one point, he even served as president of the New England and California conference simultaneously! In 1889, Pastor Haskell heard a talk given by Ellen White in which she admonished ministers that there should be "more teaching and less preaching" in Adventist camp meetings. After considering the counsel, Pastor Haskell developed a method of "Bible readings" which came to be known as "fireside preaching." The idea caught on like wildfire, as Christians around the country undertook training to hold home Bible readings. One institute in Battle Creek grew rapidly by studying the Bible Reading Plan. Under the leadership of Pastor Haskell, began with 300 students and ended with 1,000. Today the Bible reading plan continues to be one of the most successful means of winning people to the truth. Today, that book is published as the "Bible Handbook." Haskell's other works include "The Cross and it's Shadow," "The Story of the Prophet Daniel," and "The Story of the Seer of Patmos."
