CHAPTER 27 (The Great Controversy)
The Sanctuary
I was then shown the grievous disappointment of
the people of God. They did not see
Jesus at the expected time. They knew
not why their Saviour did not come. They
could see no evidence why prophetic time had not ended. Said an angel, Has God's word failed? Has God failed to fulfill his promises? No: he has fulfilled all he promised. Jesus has risen up, and has shut the door of
the Holy place of the heavenly Sanctuary, and has opened a door into the Most
Holy place, and has entered in to cleanse the Sanctuary. Said the angel, All who wait patiently shall
understand the mystery. Man has erred;
but there has been no failure on the part of God. All was accomplished that God promised; but
man erroneously looked to the earth, believing it to be the Sanctuary to be
cleansed at the end of the prophetic periods.
Man's expectations have failed; but God's promise not at all. Jesus sent his angels to direct the
disappointed ones, to lead their minds into the Most Holy place where he had
gone to cleanse the Sanctuary, and make a special atonement for Israel. Jesus told the angels that all who found him
would understand the work which he was to perform. I saw that while Jesus was in the Most Holy
place he would be married to the New Jerusalem, and after his work should be
accomplished in the Holiest, he would descend to earth in kingly power and take
the precious ones to himself who had patiently waited his return.
I was then shown what did take place in heaven as
the prophetic periods ended in 1844. I
saw that as the ministration of Jesus in the Holy place ended, and he closed
the door of that apartment, a great darkness settled upon those who had heard,
and had rejected the messages of Christ's coming, and they lost sight of
him. Jesus then clothed himself with
precious garments. Around the bottom of
his robe was a bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate. He had suspended from his shoulders a
breastplate of curious work. And as he
moved, it glittered like diamonds, magnifying letters which looked like names
written, or engraven upon the breastplate.
After he was fully attired, with something upon his head which looked
like a crown, angels surrounded him, and in a flaming chariot he passed within
the second vail. I was then bid to take
notice of the two apartments of the heavenly Sanctuary. The curtain, or door, was opened, and I was
permitted to enter. In the first
apartment I saw the candlestick with seven lamps, which looked rich and
glorious; also the table on which was the shew-bread, and the altar of incense,
and the censer. All the furniture of
this apartment looked like purest gold, and reflected the image of the one who
entered that place. The curtain which
separated these two apartments looked glorious.
It was of different colors and material, with a beautiful border, with
figures of gold wrought upon it, representing angels. The vail was lifted, and I looked into the
second apartment. I saw there an ark
which had the appearance of being of the finest gold. As a border around the top of the ark, was
most beautiful work representing crowns.
It was of fine gold. In the ark
were the tables of stone containing the ten commandments. On each end of the ark was a lovely cherub with
their wings spread out over it. Their
wings were raised on high, and touched each other above the head of Jesus, as
he stood by the ark. Their faces were
turned towards each other, and they looked downwards to the ark, representing
all the angelic host looking with interest at the law of God. Between the cherubim was a golden
censer. And as the prayers of the saints
in faith came up to Jesus, and he offered them to his Father, a sweet fragrance
arose from the incense. It looked like
smoke of most beautiful colors. Above
the place where Jesus stood, before the ark, I saw an exceeding bright glory
that I could not look upon. It appeared
like a throne where God dwelt. As the
incense ascended up to the Father, the excellent glory came from the Father's
throne to Jesus, and from Jesus it was shed upon those whose prayers had come
up like sweet incense. Light and glory
poured upon Jesus in rich abundance, and overshadowed the mercy-seat, and the
train of the glory filled the temple. I
could not long look upon the glory. No
language can describe it. I was
overwhelmed, and turned from the majesty and glory of the scene.
I was shown a Sanctuary upon earth containing two
apartments. It resembled the one in
heaven. I was told that it was the
earthly Sanctuary, a figure of the heavenly.
The furniture of the first apartment of the earthly Sanctuary was like
that in the first apartment of the heavenly.
The vail was lifted, and I looked into the Holy of Holies, and saw that
the furniture was the same as in the Most Holy place of the heavenly
Sanctuary. The priests ministered in
both apartments of the earthly. In the
first apartment he ministered every day in the year, and entered the Most Holy
but once in a year, to cleanse it from the sins which had been conveyed
there. I saw that Jesus ministered in
both apartments of the heavenly Sanctuary.
He entered into the heavenly Sanctuary by the offering of his own
blood. The earthly priests were removed
by death, therefore they could not continue long; but Jesus, I saw, was a
priest forever. Through the sacrifices
and offerings brought to the earthly Sanctuary, the children of Israel were to
lay hold of the merits of a Saviour to come.
And in the wisdom of God the particulars of this work were given us that
we might look back to them, and understand the work of Jesus in the heavenly
Sanctuary.
At the crucifixion, as Jesus died on Calvary, he
cried, It is finished, and the vail of the temple was rent in twain, from the
top to the bottom. This was to show that
the services of the earthly Sanctuary were forever finished, and that God would
no more meet with them in their earthly temple, to accept their
sacrifices. The blood of Jesus was then
shed, which was to be ministered by himself in the heavenly Sanctuary. As the priests in the earthly Sanctuary
entered the Most Holy once a year to cleanse the Sanctuary, Jesus entered the
Most Holy of the heavenly, at the end of the 2300 days of Daniel 8, in 1844, to
make a final atonement for all who could be benefited by his mediation, and to
cleanse the Sanctuary.

tabernacle of the congregation, or when they come near unto the altar to
minister in the holy place; that they bear not iniquity, and die: it shall be a
statute for ever unto him and his seed after him.

lot for the scapegoat.
Lev 16:9 And
Aaron shall bring the goat upon which the LORD'S lot fell, and offer him for a
sin offering.
Lev 16:10 But
the goat, on which the lot fell to be the scapegoat, shall be presented alive
before the LORD, to make an atonement with him, and to let him go for a
scapegoat into the wilderness.
Lev 16:11 And
Aaron shall bring the bullock of the sin offering, which is for himself, and
shall make an atonement for himself, and for his house, and shall kill the
bullock of the sin offering which is for himself:
Lev 16:12 And
he shall take a censer full of burning coals of fire from off the altar before
the LORD, and his hands full of sweet incense beaten small, and bring it within
the vail:
Lev 16:13 And
he shall put the incense upon the fire before the LORD, that the cloud of the
incense may cover the mercy seat that is upon the testimony, that he die
not:
Lev 16:14 And
he shall take of the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it with his finger upon
the mercy seat eastward; and before the mercy seat shall he sprinkle of the
blood with his finger seven times.
Lev 16:15 Then
shall he kill the goat of the sin offering, that is for the people, and bring
his blood within the vail, and do with that blood as he did with the blood of
the bullock, and sprinkle it upon the mercy seat, and before the mercy seat:
Lev 16:16 And
he shall make an atonement for the holy place, because of the uncleanness of
the children of Israel, and because of their transgressions in all their sins:
and so shall he do for the tabernacle of the congregation, that remaineth among
them in the midst of their uncleanness.
Lev 16:17 And
there shall be no man in the tabernacle of the congregation when he goeth in to
make an atonement in the holy place, until he come out, and have made an
atonement for himself, and for his household, and for all the congregation of
Israel.
Lev 16:18 And
he shall go out unto the altar that is before the LORD, and make an atonement
for it; and shall take of the blood of the bullock, and of the blood of the
goat, and put it upon the horns of the altar round about.
Lev 16:19 And
he shall sprinkle of the blood upon it with his finger seven times, and cleanse
it, and hallow it from the uncleanness of the children of Israel.
Lev 16:20 And
when he hath made an end of reconciling the holy place, and the tabernacle of
the congregation, and the altar, he shall bring the live goat:
Lev 16:21 And
Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live goat, and confess over
him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions
in all their sins, putting them upon the head of the goat, and shall send him
away by the hand of a fit man into the wilderness:
Lev 16:22 And
the goat shall bear upon him all their iniquities unto a land not inhabited:
and he shall let go the goat in the wilderness.
Lev 16:23 And
Aaron shall come into the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall put off the
linen garments, which he put on when he went into the holy place, and shall
leave them there:
Lev 16:24 And
he shall wash his flesh with water in the holy place, and put on his garments,
and come forth, and offer his burnt offering, and the burnt offering of the
people, and make an atonement for himself, and for the people.
Lev 16:25 And
the fat of the sin offering shall he burn upon the altar.
Lev 16:26 And
he that let go the goat for the scapegoat shall wash his clothes, and bathe his
flesh in water, and afterward come into the camp.
Lev 16:27 And
the bullock for the sin offering, and the goat for the sin offering, whose
blood was brought in to make atonement in the holy place, shall one carry forth
without the camp; and they shall burn in the fire their skins, and their flesh,
and their dung.
Lev 16:28 And
he that burneth them shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and
afterward he shall come into the camp.
Lev 16:29 And
this shall be a statute for ever unto you: that in the seventh month, on the
tenth day of the month, ye shall afflict your souls, and do no work at all,
whether it be one of your own country, or a stranger that sojourneth among you:
Lev 16:30 For
on that day shall the priest make an atonement for you, to cleanse you, that ye
may be clean from all your sins before the LORD.
Lev 16:31 It
shall be a sabbath of rest unto you, and ye shall afflict your souls, by a
statute for ever.
Lev 16:32 And
the priest, whom he shall anoint, and whom he shall consecrate to minister in
the priest's office in his father's stead, shall make the atonement, and shall
put on the linen clothes, even the holy garments:
Lev 16:33 And
he shall make an atonement for the holy sanctuary, and he shall make an
atonement for the tabernacle of the congregation, and for the altar, and he
shall make an atonement for the priests, and for all the people of the
congregation.
Lev 16:34 And
this shall be an everlasting statute unto you, to make an atonement for the
children of Israel for all their sins once a year. And he did as the LORD
commanded Moses.
2Ki 2:11 And
it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there
appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder;
and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.
Dan 8:14 And
he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the
sanctuary be cleansed.
Mat 27:50
Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.
Mat 27:51 And,
behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom;
and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent
Heb 9:1 Then
verily the first covenant had also ordinances of divine service, and a worldly
sanctuary.
Heb 9:2 For
there was a tabernacle made; the first, wherein was the candlestick, and the
table, and the shewbread; which is called the sanctuary.
Heb 9:3 And
after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of all;
Heb 9:4 Which
had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with
gold, wherein was the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron's rod that budded,
and the tables of the covenant;
Heb 9:5 And
over it the cherubims of glory shadowing the mercyseat; of which we cannot now
speak particularly.
Heb 9:6 Now
when these things were thus ordained, the priests went always into the first
tabernacle, accomplishing the service of God.
Heb 9:7 But
into the second went the high priest alone once every year, not without blood,
which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people:
Heb 9:8 The
Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet
made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing:
Heb 9:9 Which
was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and
sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining
to the conscience;
Heb 9:10 Which
stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances,
imposed on them until the time of reformation.
Heb 9:11 But
Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more
perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this
building;
Heb 9:12
Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in
once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.
Heb 9:13 For
if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the
unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:
Heb 9:14 How
much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered
himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the
living God?
Heb 9:15 And
for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death,
for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament,
they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.
Heb 9:16 For
where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the
testator.
Heb 9:17 For a
testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all
while the testator liveth.
Heb 9:18
Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood.
Heb 9:19 For
when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he
took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and
hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people,
Heb 9:20
Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto
you.
Heb 9:21
Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of
the ministry.
Heb 9:22 And
almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of
blood is no remission.
Heb 9:23 It
was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be
purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices
than these.
Heb 9:24 For
Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the
figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of
God for us:
Heb 9:25 Nor
yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the
holy place every year with blood of others;
Heb 9:26 For
then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now
once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice
of himself.
Heb 9:27 And
as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
Heb 9:28 So
Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for
him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.
Rev 21:1 And I
saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were
passed away; and there was no more sea.
Rev 21:2 And I
John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven,
prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
Rev 21:3 And I
heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with
men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself
shall be with them, and be their God.
Rev 21:4 And
God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more
death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for
the former things are passed away.
Rev 21:5 And
he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said
unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
Rev 21:6 And
he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I
will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life
freely.
Rev 21:7 He
that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall
be my son.
Rev 21:8 But
the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and
whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their
part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second
death.
Rev 21:9 And
there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of
the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew
thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.
Rev 21:10 And
he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me
that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,
Rev 21:11
Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious,
even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;
Rev 21:12 And
had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve
angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of
the children of Israel:
Rev 21:13 On
the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and
on the west three gates.
Rev 21:14 And
the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the
twelve apostles of the Lamb.
Rev 21:15 And
he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates
thereof, and the wall thereof.
Rev 21:16 And
the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he
measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the
breadth and the height of it are equal.
Rev 21:17 And
he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according
to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel.
Rev 21:18 And
the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like
unto clear glass.
Rev 21:19 And
the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of
precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the
third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald;
Rev 21:20 The
fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth,
beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth;
the twelfth, an amethyst.
Rev 21:21 And
the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl: and
the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass.
Rev 21:22 And
I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple
of it.
Rev 21:23 And
the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the
glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.
Rev 21:24 And
the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the
kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.
Rev 21:25 And
the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night
there.
Rev 21:26 And
they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it.
Rev 21:27 And
there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither
whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in
the Lamb's book of life.
