Redemption and Grace
Christ's redemptive work as simultaneously vengeance against sin and salvation of the sinner. The sinner represents a twofold person: man (to be liberated) and demon/vice (to be vanquished). Christ's fury fights against the demon and vices to establish the kingdom of God in man. The temporal liberations from Egypt and Babylon were types of this spiritual redemption. Also includes the metonymic use of "sin" in Leviticus for the sacrifice offered for sin, the punishment of sin, or legal/ritual uncleanness.

— The temporal liberations from Egypt and Babylon prefigured Christ's spiritual redemption
"in this vengeance and redemption of Christ, the same persons are both enemies and friends, both conquered and liberated, both slain and redeemed"

Canons Bearing a Torch Before the Pentateuch
