25 Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your uncleanness and from all your idols. 26 Moreover, I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you, and I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.
That is all fine and good.
But the most holy portion of the sanctuary is about judgment and that is what Jesus our High Priest is doing today.
We will be judged by the law of GOD which is in the ark of the testament which is below the mercy seat.
1 John 3:4
Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also
the law: for sin is
the transgression of the law.
Exodus 25
8 And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them.
9 According to all that I shew thee,
after the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the
instruments thereof, even so shall ye make it.
Jesus showed Moses the tabernacle in Heaven.
Revelation 22:12
And, behold, I come quickly; and my
reward is with me, to give
every man according as his work shall be.
The reward is eternal life or destruction. Our Judge, Jesus Christ, makes the decision which reward we will receive.
I can share more about how Jesus in the Heavenly sanctuary is paralleling the High priest's duties in the earth sanctuary if you are interested.
Psalm 77:13
Thy way,
O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as
our God?[/QUOTE]

Original Happy Camper, you say that Jesus is doing something in the sanctuary, the Heavenly Tabernacle, today. SDA doctrine says that Jesus is performing some cleansing service in the Tabernacle. Here is what the New Testament says that Jesus is doing today.
19 So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven, and
sat down at the right hand of God.
Mark 16:19 RSV
66 When day came, the assembly of the elders of the people gathered together, both chief priests and scribes; and they led him away to their council, and they said,
67 “If you are the Christ, tell us.” But he said to them, “If I tell you, you will not believe;
68 and if I ask you, you will not answer.
69 But from now on
the Son of man shall be seated at the right hand of the power of God.”
Luke 22: 66-69 RSV
If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is,
seated at the right hand of God.
Colossians 3: 1 RSV
He reflects the glory of God and bears the very stamp of his nature, upholding the universe by his word of power. When he had made purification for sins,
he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high ...
Hebrews 1:3 RSV
But when Christhad offered for all time a single sacrifice for sins,
he sat down at the right hand of God, then to wait until his enemies should be made a stool for his feet.
Hebrews 10: 12-13 RSV
Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us,
2 looking to
Jesus the pioneer and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and
is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.
Hebrews 12: 1-2 RSV
According to Hebrews chapter Ten, Jesus isn't performing some necessary service in a Heavenly Tabernacle. Instead, He is waiting for the Second Coming and the Judgment, when His enemies will be "made a stool."
