I just received Bruce Waltke's A Theology of the Old Testament and was reading through the portions on Leviticus since I'm teaching that tomorrow in Sunday School. Here's how he concludes his comments on the liturgical aspects of Exodus and Leviticus:

The sacred sites, objects, seasons, personnel, and institutions under the administration of the old covenant are only types of the true reality. Christ fulfills the expectation that there will be one in whom God and man merge in perfect union and provide perfect access into the omnipresent God's unique presence and care. The incarnate Son of God fulfills what the temple always was, a place where infinite merges with the finite to give salvation to the faithful. The Truth said, "Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days," in references to his own body. Since he ascended to heaven, the covenant people no longer face toward Jerusalem, but pray, "Our Father in heaven," and worship in spirit in truth (i.e. in the Reality). Presently God's temple, is the Spirit-indwelt church, both in its individual members and in collective body. Natural humanity despises and seeks to destroy this temple, but the new humanity sees the church as an awesome sight--it is nothing less than the house of God! The consummation of the temple themes, for which the people of God have always hoped, lies in heaven, "the Father's house," from which Christ came and to which he returned to prepare a place for his covenant people, whom the Spirit is preparing to dwell in it. The Father's house, whose glory exceeds human imagination, has plenty of room to accommodate a multitude too numerous to count."

Amen. What a gift Waltke's book appears to be for students of the OT, that is, the church!
