A Masterpiece in LiteratureDoes not mention O.T. books yet the entire

scheme of redemption pictorially appearsThe N.T. order is mentally cast before our

eyes as the fulfillment of the mystery revealed by the prophets

Does not the plan of salvation, yet the plan is in operation

It does not mention the universal church yet it shines in all its glory

It does not give us details for acceptable living yet God’s people glow in their white robes
