This volume traces the historical development of the sanctuary doctrine among the Adventist pioneers and addresses several challenges to the sanctuary doctrine in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
“transfer of sin from the repentant sinner to the animal” (Page 174)
“Whereas Leviticus and Hebrews are concerned primarily with the priestly functions associated with the sanctuary, Daniel and Revelation relate the divine activity in the sanctuary to the end of the world. Thus we may say that a major thrust of the first pair is intercession, while a major thrust of the second is judgment.” (Page 227)
“as Satan’s two persecuting powers or ‘desolations’: paganism” (Page 62)
“the earthly sanctuary was superceded by the heavenly,” (Page 72)
“The investigative judgment reveals to heavenly intelligences who among the dead are asleep in Christ and therefore, in Him, are deemed worthy to have part in the first resurrection. It also makes manifest who among the living are abiding in Christ, keeping the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus, and in Him, therefore, are ready for translation into His everlasting kingdom. This judgment vindicates the justice of God in saving those who believe in Jesus.” (Pages 225–226)
