I can't say I'm familiar with ol' "Sturgeons" writings - but I came across this being quoted in a book I'm reading:
“Did you ever regret the absence of the burnt-offering, or the red heifer, or any of the sacrifices and rites of the Jews? Did you ever pine for the feast of Tabernacles, or dedication?
No, because, though these were like the old heavens and earth to the Jewish believers, they have passed away, and we now live under new heavens and earth, so far as the dispensation of divine teaching is concerned. The substance is come, and the shadow has gone: and we do not remember it”
Charles Spurgeon, Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit, quoted by John Bray, The New Heaven and the New Earth, (Lakeland, Fl. John Bray Ministry)
