Destruction of Jerusalem
Abraham had two sons, and there was no gap
between them. They overlapped a little, but Isaac
came on when Ishmael went out. The son born
of the spirit was given the place and inheritance
of the son born of the flesh.

Overlapping of Covenants
Destruction of Jerusalem
Hence, this simple allegory (Gal. 421-31)
establishes the Spirit of Prophecy, confirming
prophecys fulfillment in the spiritual seed of
Abraham through Christ (Gal. 316, 26-29), and
beyond the fall of Jerusalem these prophecies
cannot be extended. (The Spirit of Prophecy, 239)

  taken out of the way and nailed to the cross
  (214)
• Triumph over sin occurred at the cross, not AD 70!
