Reformed Covenanter
Cancelled Commissioner
Various distinct periods of the Old Testament dispensation, are observable. The first period extended from Adam to Noah; in which, the covenant of grace was embraced by faith, and sealed by sacrifices offered up in faith. The death of Messiah, the just One, was prefigured by that of Abel, who was slain by his brother; and his ascension into heaven, was foreshown by the translation of Enoch thither.
The second was from Noah to Abraham. Noah was a preacher of righteousness. By him Christ preached to those spirits which are now in prison. He was also “an heir of the righteousness which is by faith;” was as it were, the head of a new world; and so, was an illustrious type of Him, who as last Adam, “is the head of the church.” A sacrifice of a sweet savour to Jehovah, typical of the sacrifice of Christ, was offered by him. Upon his offering of that sacrifice, a gracious covenant was divinely established with him and his sons and was sealed with the rainbow. ...
