It was God himself who established at just the right times in progressive revelation the guidelines for the relationships between man and his holy God and with one's fellow man through eight covenants. They gave Israel and all readers of Scripture glimpses of the character of God, who is full of mercy, grace, and truth, and, quizzically, justice at the same time. Encoded in the ceremonial laws of one of those covenants establishing how sinful man should approach a holy God is the foreshadowing of the promised Redeemer who will one day reverse the curse of original sin and all its consequences. The reader will see God's complete redemption plan typified in the seven Feasts of the LORD, which prefigure the Redeemer's ministry in both his First and Second Advents. And finally, the Redeemer's sacrifice on the cross of Calvary, which ultimately accomplished man's reconciliation and atonement to God and simultaneously appeased God's righteous wrath against sin and sinner, was prefigured in the five types of sacrifice performed both at the wilderness tabernacle and in the Jerusalem temple centuries later. All this is easily missed by a mere reading through Scripture or by studying individual Books because the student-reader is typically focused on the people and events of that moment in time, often unaware of the subtle but more significant inferences to God's overarching concern: How can sinful man be reconciled to a holy God? The Bible is an epic told in four movements: Creation, Fall, Redemption and Glory. The first two movements are told in the first three chapters of the Bible. The last movement, glory, is told primarily in the last three chapters of the Bible. Almost everything in-between is God's redemption story. This book has broken down those four movements into eleven themes: Creation, Corruption, Contumacy, Catastrophe, Confusion, Calling, Charter, Christ, Cross, Church and Consummation. All eleven of these either point to or are fulfilled in Christ, the promised Redeemer, and were prefigured by the eight covenants, the five sacrifices, and the Seven Feasts of the LORD. Together they tell the story of a loving God reaching down from the heights of heaven to pave the way to reconciliation and restored fellowship. Christ is the tie that binds all eleven of these themes together and it is he in whom all Scripture finds its purpose and meaning.
