These verses may also be considered negatively under the title, 'God's appointed inaccuracies of the types' in which the actual differences between the type and the antitype were intended by God to demonstrate the inadequacies of the one and the full sufficiency of the other.
1. Good things to come were typified. The accomplishment and application of redemption were those good things to come as shadowed by the types.
2. Not all the law was typical. Some things that were not typical in the OT and that which was typical.
3. The types were deliberately inexact. 'not the very image of the things' - (The importance of a literal translation of Scripture as opposed to an equivalent interpretation shown in this text) - God ordained that in the types there would be both correspondence and contrast and all for our instruction.
4. The repetition of the sacrifices had meaning.
5. The impossibility of salvation except in Christ v4. The repeated sacrifices were appointed to show that Christ alone can take away sin.
