(Galatians 3:19,24) In other words, Jehovah was teaching the children of Israel concerning the great sin-offering that must be made on behalf of mankind and he was using them to make living pictures; and the record of the events concerning them has enabled all students of the Bible since to see how Jehovah foreshadowed the redemption and deliverance of mankind from the bondage of sin and death.

To foreshadow means to foretell something coming; and this shows how important the great ransom is to mankind, that God would take so much time and go into so much detail to teach the people by these pictures.

Hence this should encourage us to study the subject earnestly that we might see, understand, and appreciate it.
RANSOM PROMISED [196]Adam was sentenced to death, and when he actually went into death after 930 years, justice was satisfied.

The law demanded the life of a perfect human being.

It had received it when Adam died.
