5. The sanctuary "is a key to the interpretation of
some of the most important prophecies
pertaining to the present time….It shows our
present whereabouts in the world's history.... It
places the law of God in its true light, draws out
the heart in practical Christianity, points the
inquirer the way to Christ, shows on what lines
the Judgment proceeds, how and when the
work of mercy for this world will close, Christ
appear, redemption be completed, and the
blessings of the everlasting covenant be
secured. Strange (strange indeed) that a subject
occupying so important a position in the divine
economy should have been so long overlooked.
Strange that so few even now are found to
give it in any degree their attention, still less
their study."
Uriah Smith in Looking Unto Jesus, pp. 57, 58.

7. “Thy way, O God, [is] in the
sanctuary: who [is so] great
a God as [our] God?”
Ps 77:13
When I thought how to
understand this……I went
into the sanctuary of God.
Ps 73:16,17
8. “…..we should not rest until we become intelligent in regard to
the subject of the sanctuary, which is brought out in the visions
of Daniel and John. This subject sheds great light on our present
position and work, and gives us unmistakable proof that God has
led us in our past experience. It explains our disappointment in
1844, showing us that the sanctuary to be cleansed was not the
earth, as we had supposed, but that Christ then entered into the
most holy apartment of the heavenly sanctuary, and is there

the words of the angel to the prophet Daniel, 'Unto two
thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be
cleansed.' Dan. 8:14…. ”God's people are now to have their eyes
fixed on the heavenly sanctuary, where the final ministration of
our great High Priest in the work of the judgment is going

forward, – where He is interceding for His people." – "Life
Sketches," p.278, 1915 edition.

11. Approach of the Study
Main focus will be on the heavenly sanctuary
The earthly sanctuary is important because it was
God's object lesson to illustrate redemption in the
heavenly. But the heavenly itself is the real
sanctuary, "the great original," PP 357, where the
work of redemption is actually in progress…..
We will simultaneously relate the life of a Christian as revealed in the components of
the earthly sanctuary (esp. during the recap), and the ministry of Christ in the
heavenly sanctuary and its importance to us .

21. The Most Holy Place (Glorification)
The ARK of
the
CONVENAT
On the mercy seat he placed the golden censer, the smoke from
which dimmed the glory of the shechinah. Within the ark, symbol of
God's throne, are the tables of stone on which God engraved the
Ten Commandments, the law by which all shall be judged. The
overshadowing wings of the cherubim "touch each other," EW 252,
and "covered the mercy seat." Ex. 37:9. Their heads bowed toward
the ark, show their reverence for God's eternal law of love

32. THE MAJOR EVENT TAKING PLACE RIGHT NOW IS THE

thousand thousands
ministered unto him,
and ten thousand times
ten thousand stood
before him: the
judgment was set, and
the books were

34. The bible mentions of THREE main
books
1. The book of life (Rev.21,27; Dan.12:1)
2. The book of remembrance (Mal. 3:16),
and
3. The book of Death ( Jer. 2:22;Eccl.
12:14;Is. 65:6,7)
1. The book of life (Rev.21,27; Dan.12:1)
2. The book of remembrance (Mal. 3:16),
and
3. The book of Death ( Jer. 2:22;Eccl.
12:14;Is. 65:6,7)

36. "Though Moses and
Samuel stood before
Me;" Jer. 15:1; "though .
. . Noah, Daniel, and
Job" are there, "they
shall deliver neither son
nor daughter; they shall
but deliver their own
souls by their
righteousness."
Eze. 14:14,16
37.
38. we are "judged out of those things which are
written in the books, according to (our) works."
Rev. 20:12.
39. He "examines the case of
each individual with as
close and searching
scrutiny as if there were
not another being upon
the earth. Everyone must
be tested, and found
without spot or wrinkle or
any such thing.“
GC 490.
40. The Judgment is on
and names are
being called to
decide cases
41. In the book of Remembrance
…every generous and thoughtful deed,
every kind word, every tender, loving
thought prompted by God and done in
His name, has been faithfully
registered. Every prayer offered,
"every temptation resisted, every evil
overcome, every word of tender pity
expressed, is faithfully chronicled." GC
481. Every little act of self-sacrifice
made for Jesus' sake, every trial
endured for Him - every one has been
written, and all will come up in
remembrance before the Father when
our name is called.
42. In the book of Death/Sins
Every word uttered, every departure
from integrity, every action that sullies
the soul, will be weighed in the balances
of the sanctuary…Thus every one will be
condemned or acquitted out of his own
mouth, and the righteousness of God
will be vindicated…
“But I say unto you, That every idle word
that men shall speak, they shall give
account thereof in the day of judgment.
For by thy words thou shalt be justified,
and by thy words thou shalt be
condemned“. Matthew 12.36-37
43. In the book of Death/Sins
…The hidden selfishness of men
stands revealed in the books of
heaven. There is the record of
unfulfilled duties to their fellow
men, of forgetfulness of the
Saviour's claims… Our acts, our
words, even our most secret
motives, all have their weight in
deciding our destiny for weal or
woe. Though they may be
forgotten by us, they will bear their
testimony to justify or condemn.
{GC 486.3;GC 487.3}
44.
45. “Every man's work passes in
review before God and is
registered for faithfulness or
unfaithfulness…..”(lbid)

Judgme
nt is fair
Your birth will
be considered
"The Lord
shall count,
when He
writeth up
the people,
that this
man was
born there.
Selah!' Ps.
87:6.
48. I Sam. 16:7
He "seeth not as a
man seeth; for
man looketh on
the outward
appearance, but
God looketh on
the heart."
49. "It shall be an holy
convocation unto you; and
ye shall afflict your souls,
and offer an offering made
by fire unto the Lord. And
ye shall do no work - no
service work - in that same
day; for it is a day of
atonement."
Lev. 23:27,28.
53. "If Thou wilt
forgive their sin - ;
and if not, blot
me, I pray Thee,
out of Thy book
which Thou hast
written."
Ex. 32:32.
54. Revelation 21:27
Only those enter
the City of God
whose names at
that time "are
written in the
Lamb's Book of
Life.”
55. Jesus is our Advocate
For we have not an
high priest which
cannot be touched
with the feeling of our
infirmities; but was in
all points tempted like
as we are, yet without
sin
Hebrews 4:15
56. "He that
overcometh . . . I will
not blot out his name
out of the Book of Life,
but I will confess his
name before My
Father, and before His
angels."
Rev. 3:5.
57. He that is unjust,
let him be unjust
still: and he which
is filthy, let him be
filthy still: and he
that is righteous,
let him be
righteous still: and
he that is holy, let
him be holy still.
Rev. 22:11

61. The Judgment is set, the books have
been opened,
How shall we stand in that great day,
When every thought, and word, and
action,
God, the righteous Judge, shall
weigh?
How shall we stand in that great day?
How shall we stand in that great
day?
Shall we be found before Him
wanting?
Or with our sins all washed away?
F. E. Belden
