C. C. B. of Mass. : The day of atonement meets its antitype, we think, wholly in the work of Christ in the heavenly sanctuary, without regard to the character or circumstances that attended that day in the type. Thus on the feast of Pentecost in the type [Lev. xxiii, 15–21], a day was set apart, a convocation called, and all work forbidden, the same as on the day of atonement. Yet in the fulfillment of this type as recorded in the commencement of Acts ii, we find none of these circumstances taken into account. We conclude therefore that the time occupied in the celebration of certain types, and the peculiar circumstances attending them, were not typical, and hence require no corresponding time, during which we should abstain from labor, &c., in the antitype.

L. L. L. of Vt. : "The beast," spoken of in Rev. xiii, is the papal beast; and it is the mark of this beast which the two-horned beast enforces. The two-horned beast has no mark of its own, but enforces that of another power.
