All the old things, of the Old Testament, was only a shadow of the new things to come. Those things happened back there, to give us the—the foreknowledge of what we might expect in this day, if we serve the Lord, and what we might expect if we do not serve the Lord. And if we serve Him half-heartedly, or whole-heartedly. 56-0902 - “The Handwriting On The Wall”
