well, I made the account for the purpose of posting to this thread, but I am told that I cannot pm you because I haven't posted 15 posts :(

Maybe you can pm me your email and we can go from there?

Thanks,
One of those rules you have to work with......

I have seen many books or computer programs that contain errors. And the ones in the prophecy seminars have errors also. Now that I have quite a bit of notes, material and images from collecting through the years, I want to share them with others and eventually compile them into a book or a computer program.

I'm going to go through my notes and try to make two studies a week. There is enough material and if the Lord willing, we will have on-going studies until Jesus comes back.

Please give your thoughts, inputs and corrections to make it lively. This is one study that Satan doesn't want us to learn.

Be back shortly...

You might be interested in my book, "Exploring the Heavenly Sanctuary".
The sanctuary doctrine is based on Leviticus, Daniel, Hebrews and Revelation. All four books are important in understanding this doctrine.

I made this animation of the sanctuary with Google SketchUp. The dimensions are truth to what's given in the bible. This should give a very good visualization of the sanctuary in the wilderness. I'm still missing some details ornaments of the candlesticks and missing the cherubims and the Shekinah. These requires professional animation skills which I don't have. If i figure out how to do them or come across someone else's work I can borrow, I'll complete the details.

Revelation 14
1 And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.

2 And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps: 3 And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.

The scene of 144000 in Revelation 14 is depicted in the Israelites' encampment in the wilderness: Christ stood on the throne, with Him the 4 seraphims, the 24 elders and the 144000.

In the Sanctuary, the throne of God stood in the center. The order of priests: the 24 sons of Aaron served in front of the throne daily. The 4 standards/flags were erected on the 4 sides in front of the camps.

The 4 flags with 4 living creatures symbolize Christ's characters:
Lion: Christ the king
Ox: Christ the servant
Man: Christ the man
Eagle: Christ the divine

Lion symbolizes the majestic side of Christ, the king of kings, the Lord of lords...
Ox symbolizes the servitude, the toiling, patient characters of Christ.
Man symbolizes Christ's human nature. 'Behold the man.' Pilate declared.
Eagle symbolized the divine nature of Christ that's far above all else.

The Four reveal what the four gospels convey:
Matthew: Christ the king
Mark: Christ the servant
Luke: Christ the man
John: Christ the divine

First the Holy Convocation were not call feast. This is a pagan word. The four creatures were not symbolic of THE MESSIAH but they are cherubim made just like Satan. They are the highest rank of the angels. Ezekiel gives you exactly what John saw, he describe who they are. These angels have the privilege to carry the Throne of YAHWEH and that it!

Also out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance; they had the likeness of a man. And every one had four faces, and every one had four wings. And their feet were straight feet; and the sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf's foot: and they sparkled like the colour of burnished brass. And they had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides; and they four had their faces and their wings. Their wings were joined one to another; they turned not when they went; they went every one straight forward. As for the likeness of their faces, they four had the face of a man, and the face of a lion, on the right side: and they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four also had the face of an eagle. Thus were their faces: and their wings were stretched upward; two wings of every one were joined one to another, and two covered their bodies. And they went every one straight forward: whither the spirit was to go, they went; and they turned not when they went. As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, and like the appearance of lamps: it went up and down among the living creatures; and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning. And the living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of a flash of lightning. Now as I beheld the living creatures, behold one wheel upon the earth by the living creatures, with his four faces. The appearance of the wheels and their work was like unto the colour of a beryl: and they four had one likeness: and their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel in the middle of a wheel. When they went, they went upon their four sides: and they turned not when they went. As for their rings, they were so high that they were dreadful; and their rings were full of eyes round about them four. And when they went, I heard the noise of their wings, like the noise of great waters, as THE VOICE of THE ALMIGHTY, THE VOICE of Speech, as the noise of an host: when they stood, they let down their wings. And above the firmament that was over their heads was the likeness of a Throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone: and upon THE LIKENESS of the Throne was THE LIKENESS as the appearance of a man above upon it. As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round about. This was the APPEARANCE of the LIKENESS of THE GLORY of YAHWEH. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard A VOICE of ONE that Spake. Eze 1:5-18, 24, 26, 28

The Sanctuary in Heaven is the Court room and THE ALMIGHTY presides in THE MOST HOLY PLACE. It is not just a room but a place and we cannot even imagine the beauty of this place. Moses sanctuary was just a pattern of the real. Blood is never used in the real one. If we truly understood the Holy Convocation and not with the earthly offerings, we know that these days are still binding. We were giving the opportunity to understand on Oct 25,1844 that true meaning for the Day of Atonement was the beginning of the Investigated Judgment. We are to keep these days, they are not sabbaths but days pointing to salvation and what will take place in the last days. These Holy days YAHWEH said are HIS and they were given in creation Gen 1:14. The word feast is pagan because Satan had all men to have set time but they over indulge in food and sexual appetite on their unholy days.

We have the Sanctuary message but we have toss it aside and do not understand because we do not understand the Holy Convocation, the new moons and the solemn occasion!


Blessings!

The sanctuary doctrine is unique to Adventism and is critical to understand the whole bible. Much of the bible was written in sanctuary language. For example when Jesus said 'this cup is the new testament of my blood which is shed for many', it is 'impossible' to fully understand it without knowing it's application in the sanctuary services.

The sanctuary was a vivid illustration of God's plan of salvation. Understanding the sanctuary will give us the knowledge to discern truth from error. Unfortunately it has been under enemy's attack and it is no longer clearly taught in our schools. And our ministers don't even know it.

I've had the privillage to have been exposed to the studies of some of the foremost experts on this subject. I have made some images and notes on the study. I want to start a thread/discussion in the traditional section to share them with all of us. And get feedbacks, corrections, inputs... eventually get them into a more comprehansive study...all for the goal that we are ready for the second coming of Jesus.
Excellent post...

Here is an awesome verse which I forget when sharing truth about obedience and the law.
Psalms:77:13: "Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as our God?"
Pretty much everything we need to know about God we can find in the sanctuary.

Here is a provocative question for those who have studied the sanctuary...what does the sanctuary say on the subject of 'trinity'? :wave:

Interesting thought I never even considered.

I think of the altar of burnt offering as Jesus and the mercy seat as God. I know all the furniture represents Jesus, these are just the obvious ones.

Right, the Father is figured in the MHP above the mercy seat. The Son is figured at the altar of sacrifice, at the laver (for cleansing), at the table (as the bread of presence), at the altar of incense (as his merit) and at the menorah (as the light)...

What about the spirit? How is it presented as deity in the sanctuary?

It fits my view of the Godhead... the Father (Mercy seat), the Son (High Priest), the shewbread (Inspired Word), the Mennorah (the Holy Spirit), the laver (Baptism), the alter (repentance and surrender).

Always fire. I would say, and I just skimmed some SOP that the lamp which is filled with never ending oil, always burning.
