Excerpt from The Works of Thomas Jackson, D. D, Vol. 8: Sometime President of Corpus Christi College, Oxford, and Dean of Peterborough
About the indefinite or illimited truth of both these propositions, there is no controversy amongst good Christians. The limitation, notwithstanding, of both these undoubted truths requires some further disquisition; the limitation of the latter a larger treatise: the main query concerning the former is briefly this: 'From what beginning of the world our Saviour is said to be Agnus occisus, the Lamb slain, as whether from the first beginning of time, or from the first day of the creation. To stretch the beginning of the world thus far, is more than the rules of true theology will warrant: for it was neither necessary nor expedient that the Son of God should be slain,' or that any bloody sacrifice should have been offered, if our first parents had preserved or retained their original integrity. By the beginning of the world then, in our apostles meaning, we are, I take it, to understand the sinful world, as it is coeval or confederate with the flesh, or the first entrance of sin into it, or rather into our nature. From the fall of our first parents, at least from their convention before their Almighty Judge and Creator, the Son of God was first destinated, and afterwards consecrated to be the Lamb of God, which was to take away the sins of the world. And of his death and passion, or other undertakings to this purpose, as well the sacrifice which righteous Abel offered out of the 838 flock, as the bloody sacrifice of himself, being butchered by his ungracious brother Cain, were true types or shadows. So was the paschal lamb, which was solemnly offered every year, once in token, afterwards in memory of the Israelites' miraculous delivery out of Egypt.
