The sanctuary power point

What is the purpose?

Why it is that God has a sanctuary?

Why is it that we cannot see our God face to face?

What happened?

•Deu 4:24

•1 Peter 1:7

•1 Cor 3:12, 13

“If you cling to self, refusing to yield your will to God, you are choosing death. To

sin, wherever found, God is a consuming fire. If you choose sin, and refuse to

separate from it, the presence of God, which consumes sin, must consume you.”

Thoughts on the Mount of Blessing 62

a minister of the sanctuary,

and of the true tabernacle…”

God’s Dilemma?

Key to the Sanctuaries?

Zech 3:1-7

“Righteousness is obedience to the law. The law demands righteousness, and this the

sinner owes to the law; but he is incapable of rendering it. The only way in which he can

attain to righteousness is through faith. By faith he can bring to God the merits of

Christ, and the Lord places the obedience of His Son to the sinner's account. Christ's

righteousness is accepted in place of man's failure, and God receives, pardons, justifies, the repentant, believing soul, treats him as though he were righteous, and loves him as

He loves His Son.

“This is how faith is accounted righteousness; and the pardoned soul goes on from grace to grace, from light to a greater light. He can say with rejoicing, "Not by works of righteousness which we

have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, by the washing of regeneration,

and renewing of the Holy Ghost; which He shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ

our Saviour; that being justified by His grace, we should be made heirs according to

the hope of eternal life" (Titus 3:5-7).” Faith and Works 101

Christ’s Righteousness Not my own!!

Daniel 8:14

On the first day of the seventh month, trumpets were blown to alert the people that the Day of Atonement was fast approaching. For the next ten days all were to prepare for

the Day of Atonement.

All were to prepare their hearts and bring their gifts of sacrifice to the temple, for this

time was appointed for deep heart searching and repentance.

Just as the trumpets were blown 10 days before the “Day of Atonement” in order to direct the minds of the people to the cleansing of the sanctuary, likewise the “Millerite movement” began about 10

years before 1844, calling people to repentance and the cleansing of the

sanctuary of their hearts.

“The Feast of Tabernacles was not only commemorative but typical. It not only pointed back to the wilderness sojourn, but, as the feast of harvest, it celebrated the

ingathering of the fruits of the earth, and pointed forward to the great day of final ingathering, when the

Lord of the harvest shall send forth His reapers to gather the tares together in bundles for the fire, and to

gather the wheat into His garner. At that time the wicked will all be destroyed.” PP 541.

“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 16:30

“For on that day shall the priest make an atonement for you, to cleanse you, that

ye may be clean from all your sinsbefore the LORD.”

Lev 16:30

Forgiveness=covering of the sins by the blood

Cleansing=blotting out of those sins forever

“The blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from all sin, --blots out all iniquity. . . We need to be on our

guard against the idea that the blotting out of sin is merely as the passing of a sponge over a slate, or an

entry in a ledger, to balance the account. This is not the blotting out of sin. An ignorant man

who saw a thermometer for the first time thought to lessen the heat by breaking it. But how much effect did this have upon the weather?--Just as

much as the wiping out of the record of his sin has upon the sinner…

“Though all the record of all our sin, even though written with the finger of God,

were erased, the sin would remain, because the sin is in us.

“The blotting out of sin is the erasing of it from the nature, the being of man. The blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sin…

“The erasing of sin is the blotting of it from our natures, so that we shall know

it no more… (in other words) they do not think of doing it any more. This is

the work of Christ in the true sanctuary...”

(Waggoner, Review and Herald, Sept. 30, 1902).

“In the typical system, which was a shadow of the sacrifice and priesthood of Christ, the cleansing of the sanctuary was the last service performed by the high priest in the yearly round of ministration. It was the closing work of the atonement --a removal or putting away of sin from Israel. It prefigured the closing work in the ministration of our High Priest in heaven, in the removal or blotting out of the sins of His people, which are registered in the heavenly records.”

GC 352 And how was everything cleansed on this “Day of

Atonement”? And what does the blood symbolize?

What motivates us; what mind do we have?

It was cleansed by the blood.

It symbolizes God’s broken heart of Love for us.

The mind of Christ vs. The mind of Self.

“There is a difference between the forgiveness of sins and the blotting out of sin. There is a difference

between the gospel being preached for the forgiveness of sins and the gospel being preached for the blotting out of sin. In our generation comes the provision for the blotting out of sin. And the blotting out of sin is what will prepare the way for the coming of the Lord; and the blotting out of sin is the ministry of our High Priest in the most holy place in the

heavenly sanctuary; and it makes a difference to the people of God in their ministry, in their message, and in their experience, whether they recognize or experience

the fact of the change…”

Now that should be distinctly brought out in the third angel’s message; and with that, of course, will come the clearest revelation of

the gospel ministry for this time, the blotting out of sin in this generation, thus preparing

the way of the Lord.”

W.W. Prescott, The Gospel Message of Today, 53

“The student… should understand the nature of the two principles that are contending for supremacy, and should learn to trace their working through the records of history and prophecy, to the great consummation. He

should see how this controversy enters into every phase of human experience; how in

every act of life he himself reveals the one or the other of the two antagonistic motives; and how, whether he will or not, he is even

now deciding upon which side of the controversy he will be found.”

Ed 190

“Selfishness is the root of all evil.” Ev 633

“…the law of self-renouncing love is the law of life for earth and heaven; that the love which "seeketh not her own" has its source in the heart of God…” DA 19

“In the lives of those who are partakers of the divine nature there is a crucifixion of the haughty, self-sufficient spirit that

leads to self-exaltation... In its place the Spirit of Christ abides, and in the life the fruits of the Spirit appear. Having

the mind of Christ, His followers reveal the graces of His character.” 7MR 263.

Five things that the Children of Israel were to do:

1. To keep a holy convocation;

2. Offer an offering made by fire;

3. Afflict their souls; (this includes 3 things as found in Isaiah 58:5)

a. Bowing head as a bulrush

b. Fasting

c. Sackcloth and Ashes

4. Do no work;

5. It shall be a Sabbath of rest.






b. Fasting


4. Do no work;


A calling together; unity among brethren, and a Separation of the common from the sacredIn other words, the holy convocation includes a separation

from the things that develop the mind of self, so that the mind of Christ can be more fully developed.

The question of which mind is developed is the real reason why we have been counseled not to partake of competitive sports or games, for we must honestly ask ourselves, which mind do these games develop? Do they encourage the spirit of esteeming others first, or the spirit of thinking of self first?

Music, games, dancing, amusements, etc.



2. Offer an offering made by fire; Rom 12:1, 2

4. Do no work;


The experience of afflicting one’s soul first deals with a deep repentance, a confession of sins, that which we have personally done, and like Daniel, what we as a body of people, have done to God. God is calling for us to turn away from self,

to repent of our own ways,

and to partake of His mind.

4. Do no work;


Refraining from anything that beclouds the mind and distracts us from being united with the Mind of Christ

God deals with what we feed the mind, but He also deals with what we feed the body, why?

Health Message: What feeds the stomach, feeds the mind.

“The very food they place before them is such as to irritate the stomach. The excitement thus produced is

communicated to the brain, and as a result the passions are aroused. It cannot be too often repeated

that whatever is taken into the stomach affects not only the body, but ultimately the mind as well. Gross and stimulating food fevers the blood,

excites the nervous system, and too often dulls the moral perceptions, so that reason and conscience

are overborne by the sensual impulses…”

“…It is difficult, and often well-nigh impossible, for

one who is intemperate in diet to exercise patienceand self-control. Hence the special importance of

allowing children, whose characters are yet unformed, to have only such food as is healthful and

unstimulating. It was in love that our heavenly Father sent the light of health reform to guard against the evils that result from unrestrained

indulgence of appetite.”

Child Guidance 460

“health should be as sacredly guarded as the character.” C.T. 83“Grains and fruits prepared free from grease, and in as natural a condition as possible, should be the food for the tables of all who claim to be preparing for translation to Heaven.” TSDF 132“When the plagues of God shall be all around you, you will then see the principles of health reform and strict temperance in all things that temperance alone is the foundation of all the graces that come from God, the foundation of all victories to be gained.” TE 201.

Day of Judgment:

"Then Jacob said unto his household, and to all that were with him, Put away the strange gods that are among you; and be clean, and change your garments;… And they gave unto Jacob all the strange gods which were in their hand, and all their earrings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the oak which was by Shechem." Gen. 35:2-4.

Day of Judgment:

“The Lord standeth up to plead, and standeth to judge the people. The Lord will enter into judgment with the ancients of his people…Moreover the Lord saith, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks, and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go…In that day the Lord will take away their bravery of their tinkling ornaments about their feet, and their cauls, and their round tires like the moon, the chains…the rings and the nose jewels, the changeable suits of apparel…” Isaiah 3:13-23.

“In 1844 our great High Priest entered the most holy place of the heavenly sanctuary, to begin the work of the investigative judgment… In the typical

service, when the work of atonement was performed by the high priest in the most holy place of the earthly sanctuary, the people were required to afflict their souls before God, and confess their

sins, that they might be atoned for and blotted out. Will any less be required of us in this antitypical

Day of Atonement?…”

What is our condition in this fearful and solemn time? Alas, what pride is prevailing in the

church, what hypocrisy, what deception, what love of dress, frivolity, and amusement, what

desire for the supremacy! All these sins have clouded the mind, so that eternal things have not been discerned. Shall we

not search the Scriptures, that we may know where we are in this world's history?”

For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be afflicted in that same day, he shall be

soul will I destroy from among his people.”

Leviticus 23:29-30

“To protect the people of God from the corrupting influence of the world, as well as to promote physical and moral health, the dress reform was introduced among us. It was not

intended to be a yoke of bondage, but a blessing… It would distinguish God's people from the world and thus serve as a barrier

against its fashions and follies. He who knows the end from the beginning, who understands

our nature and our needs,--our compassionate Redeemer,--saw our dangers and difficulties,

and condescended to give us timely warning and instruction concerning our habits of life, even in

the proper selection of food and clothing.” CH 598- 599
