2. The terrible visitation.

II. THE ATONEMENT, AND ITS SUCCESS.

1. A significant act.

(1)  Aaron a type of the Lord Jesus.

(2)  He stood between the dead and the living.

(3)  Jesus has done more than Aaron.

2. The completeness of His atonement.

II. THE SPECIAL LESSONS TO BE DERIVED FROM HENCE.

1. The faithful minister of God's Word dares not withhold the instruction to be derived from it concerning the terrible judgments which ungodly men bring on themselves by continuing in sin against a just and holy God.
