Seeing as how it was GOD who dictated it to Moses who wrote it down I would say that it was very important to GOD. Why call it the law of Moses if GOD gave it to him why not call it the Law of GOD?
Remember what Jesus said
John 5:39
Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
What Jesus is saying is that salvation is in the Torah, the law and the prophets.
NT not yet published but you know that.
Romans 4:3
For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.
Galatians 3:6
Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.
James 2:23
And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed
God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.
These verses says that Abraham, long before Martian Luther said it, was saved by his faith in GOD. (righteousness by faith)
In the sanctuary it was by faith they offered the blood sacrifice for their sin. This pointed forward to the Blood of Christ.
Your statements
"Christ entered the sanctuary in heaven with God once and for all. That's what Hebrews 9 says.
He didn't do it again in 1844"
are not wrong but not the whole story.
If you study the process from the courtyard to the Holy of Holy were the ark of the covenant and the mercy seat are located you will see the plan of salvation in the sanctuary. There are two compartments in the temple, Jesus entered the first compartment when he ascended to heaven after meeting with the disciples at the end of the 40 days. In 1844 he entered the second compartment where the ark of the covenant (containing the law that we all will be judged by) and the mercy seat is located to cleanse the sanctuary of sin.
Daniel 8:14
And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.
He entered as our High Priest and when he is finished with the judgment, that is the close of probation.
All humans from Adam to the end of time will be saved the same way, righteousness by faith Because,
Hebrews 13:8
Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.
If the sanctuary in Daniel 8:14 refers to the heavenly sanctuary as Adventists claim, then what was "the giving of both the sanctuary and the host to be trampled underfoot" in Daniel 8:13. When was the heavenly sanctuary trampled underfoot? Verse 13 is talking about the same sanctuary, right?
