The Sanctuary Study

[E.T.Elijah]

Just posting to say thanks. This is a great thread and I myself am just starting on my journey into the wilderness sanctuary study. I know that it is a big undertaking, but I hope to produce a good study for those in my church. I will definitely be coming back to this thread for insight. Again thanks!

You are welcome! May the Lord bless you in your study. The Sanctuary is the blueprint of the plan of salvation. It helps us to discern truth from error. The remnant of the bitter sweet experience all need to study be ready always to give an answer to every man that asks you a reason of the hope that is in you.

I am truly glad that you have presented the Sanctuary Truth as the Bible clearly says:​

Thy way, O ELOHIM, is in the Sanctuary: who is so great a Eloah as our ELOHIM? Psa 77:13 ​

I truly agreed with most of the numbers that YAHWEH has provided for man understanding. However, I would like to give a more clear understanding of somethings that you may have overlooked or misunderstood.

FOUR: the world, the creation and salvation of the world.

This is so accurate but you left out the most important piece. The altar of burnt offering with four horn that represented the four corners of the earth. Ex 27:1, 2 The four corners of the earth was very significant because angels of ELOHIM were station at each corner to keep the winds of strife from blowing until the correct time. Rev 7:1, 2​

SIX: the number of man.​

I disagree with you slightly here man was perfect which he was the number seven. However after he sin he fail short of his perfection and became six.​

Furthermore, the sound ‘S’ is the hissing sound from a coiling cobra. This is where the words, snake, serpent, Satan come from. Also the letter ‘S’ comes from Egyptian letter ‘S’ that symbolizes a twisting snake.​

To me this is not Biblical and sometimes we read more into things then need be.​

The number of the beast is 666. The Greek word for Satan: ‘titan’ adds to 666. SIX SIX SIX: the number of beast We saw 6 is the number of man. The number of the beast is also the number of a man. There are so many ways to add a name or a title to 666. However there are also many ways to add the name or the title of the beast to 666. We will not discuss it now. However it is interesting to note, in Astrology, there are 12 zodiac signs representing different stars. Each one is divided into 3 periods. That gives us 36 periods. If we write down all 1 to 36 numbers in a Masonic 6x6 square, no matter how you add them, they always add to 666. I think it's quite clear that the number of the beast symbolizes the worship of all the created beings rather than the creator.​

I do not agree with Satan being the number 666 because this is what the Bible says:​

Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. Rev 13:18 ​

This number represent fallen man and you must have wisdom to understand why there are three number six together. Again truth is in the Bible and not to our on speculation!​

The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. Rev 17:8 ​

This beast is the same beast of Daniel 7:7; Rev 13:1, 2 now in his full sinful nature scarlet!​

This beast in his sinful nature has appeared two times before. The first time he was Nimrod: "that was"​

He was a mighty hunter before YAHWEH: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before YAHWEH. Gen 10:9 ​

And YAHWEH came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. YAHWEH said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech. Gen 11:5-7

I know that most versions of the Bible says tower but that is not the actual meaning of the word. I will not speak on this now but to say Nimrod is the only man that have ever ruled the entire world! He was told against YAHWEH and if you believe EGW comments she say the Law of ELOHIM was about to complete lost as paganism overtook the world even more so after the flood.

The next man is who we seem to give all the credit to but lost his full political power and that is the Papacy ("Is not"). The Pope came up as a stout fellow knocking of three German tribes that do not exist today. The Papacy ruled a short time 1,260 years and lost all of vassal states only a small portion within a the Country of Italy and even in the City of Rome. The Catholic Church still rules a large block known as the Vatican City which actually is a country! A country within a City within a country but is rule by a Church! She has embassies all over the world and no other church has this type of power politically! The Papacy will always be controlled by an Indo-European or White man.
Now here is the important point the beast/man or the third six comes from out of the seventh head to go into perdition as the eighth and final head ("yet is"). In other words the seven heads were attached to the original head of Daniel Seven. By the wat Daniel and Revelation is the same book once sealed then revealed. This Indo-European will go up against ELOHIM worst then the other two and he will rule the world after eliminating the one who made him-the Catholic Church which the seventh!

TEN: completion ​

Ten is the number the completes a decimal system. The biblical times used the decimal system. Ten commandments represent the completeness of God’s law. This law reflects Christ’s character under which we are judged against.

Actually ten is universal because ELOHIM Law is just that. Ten is the number of the decimal system in the 10th power according to the Bible. Now I know you will be shock but ten with Commandments does not mean 1-10 as most think. Strong Dictionary does not says this as well:​

Ten (as an accumulation to the extent of the digits): - ten, [fif-, seven-] teen.​

You will never find YAHWEH, YAHSHUA or the HOLY SPIRIT used the word ten with the Commandments. The word ten with Commandments is only mentioned three times in the Bible:​

And he was there with YAHWEH forty days and forty nights; he did neither eat bread, nor drink water. And HE wrote upon the tables the Words of The Covenant, the ten Commandments. Ex 34:28 ​

And HE declared unto you HIS Covenant, which HE Commanded you to perform, even ten Commandments; and HE wrote them upon two tables of stone. Deut 4:13

And HE wrote on the tables, according to the first writing, the ten Commandments, which YAHWEH spake unto you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the Assembly: and YAHWEH gave them unto me. Deut 10:4 ​

This is what YAHWEH, YAHSHUA actually said:​

Because that Abraham obeyed MY Voice, and kept MY Charge, MY Commandments, MY Statutes, and MY Laws. Gen 26:5 ​

And YAHWEH said unto Moses, Come up to me into the Mount, and be there: and I will give thee tables of stone, and a Law, and Commandments which I have written; that thou mayest teach them. Ex 24:12

But as for thee, stand thou here by ME, and I will Speak unto thee all the Commandments, and the Statutes, and the Judgments, which thou shalt teach them, that they may do them in the land which I give them to possess it. Deut 5:31

Thou shalt therefore keep the Commandments, and the Statutes, and the Judgments, which I Command thee this day, to do them. Deut 7:11 ​

Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least Commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of Heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven. Matt 5:19 ​

On these Two Commandments hang all the Law and the prophets. Matt 22:40 ​

If ye keep MY Commandments, ye shall abide in MY Love; even as I have kept MY FATHER'S Commandments, and abide in HIS Love. John15:10 ​

I urge all to read Psa 119 it is all about YAHWEH'S Commands.

TWELVE: leadership ​

Twelve tribes, twelve apostles. Twelve gates of the new city.​

Also the 144,000 is divided by twelve they will enter the twelve gates of the city base on overcoming that sin that cause a multitude of sins including all of the other saints resurrected and the Great Multitude.​

FORTY: probation
The children of Israel wandered in the wilderness for 40 years after crossing the Red Sea (type of baptism). Christ fasted 40 days after receiving the baptism.

I do not agree with this because the Canaanites had 430 years of probation, Israel 490 years of probation, the Time of Trouble will be 3 and half years before the beginning of probation. Probation will be seventy-five days at the End Time. I have not come up with a meaning for this number but is has a meaning because YAHSHUA stayed on the earth 40 days before going to Heaven. Moses was with Elohim for forty days and night. It rained for forty days and night during the flood so it has a significant value.​

I hope this was uplifting to you all!​

Exodus 25:8 And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them. The Hebrew word dwell ‘shakan’ means to become a permanent resident of a community. The word dwell can also be translated into ‘to tabernacle with’. The tabernacle was placed in the midst of the congregations, Numbers 2:2,3,8,10,25. Before the fall the human race, Adam and Eve walked with God daily. But the sin severed that relationship. Mankind could no longer have a face-to-face relationship with God. This verse clearly conveyed God’s deep and longing desire to dwell among His people and to become a friend of the sinners.​

Have any of you wonder why Moses wrote the story about Job? Do you also wonder why there is an asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter and another right outside of our solar system is where the comets are located. Listen to your Bible man was highly intelligent and used all of his created perfect brain. Adam like all of the other unfallen beings went to Heaven on the Feast of YAHWEH to present themselves before Him. These other beings shout when this earth was created along with the angels they are the Sons of ELOHIM:

When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of ELOHIM shouted for joy? Job 38:7

When will we stop limiting the Magnificent Power of ELOHIM and how THEY made us. This History Channel 2 has this program call aliens and also the Mormon believe partially the truth. Satan nor any angels has ever been a son of the ALMIGHTY except those created in HIS Resemblance.

For unto which of the angels said HE at any time, THOU art MY SON, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to HIM a FATHER, and he shall be to me a SON?And of the angels HE Saith, Who maketh HIS angels spirits, and HIS ministers a flame of fire. Heb 1:5, 7

YAHWEH has given me a view of other worlds. Wings were given me, and an angel attended me from the city to a place that was bright and glorious. The grass of the place was living green, and the birds there warbled a sweet song. The inhabitants of the place were of all sizes; they were noble, majestic, and lovely. They bore the express image of YAHSHUA, and their countenances beamed with Holy Joy, expressive of the freedom and happiness of the place. I asked one of them why they were so much more lovely than those on the earth. The reply was, "We have lived in strict obedience to the Commandments of ELOHIM, and have not fallen by disobedience, like those on the earth." Then I saw two Trees, one looked much like the Tree of Life in the city. The fruit of both looked beautiful, but of one they could not eat. They had power to eat of both, but were forbidden to eat of one. Then my attending angel said to me, "None in this place have tasted of the forbidden Tree; but if they should eat, they would fall." Then I was taken to a world which had seven moons. There I saw good old Enoch, who had been translated. On his right arm he bore a glorious palm, and on each leaf was written "Victory." Around his head was a dazzling white wreath, and leaves on the wreath, and in the middle of each leaf was written "Purity," and around the wreath were stones of various colors, that shone brighter than the stars, and cast a reflection upon the letters and magnified them. On the back part of his head was a bow that confined the wreath, and upon the bow was written "Holiness." Above the wreath was a lovely crown that shone brighter than the sun. I asked him if this was the place he was taken to from the earth. He said, "It is not; the city is my home, and I have come to visit this place." He moved about the place as if perfectly at home. I begged of my attending angel to let me remain in that place. I could not bear the thought of coming back to this dark world again. Then the angel said, "You must go back, and if you are faithful, you, with the 144,000, shall have the privilege of visiting all the worlds and viewing the handiwork of ELOHIM." EW p. 39

Man has been to other planets but was stop and these asteroids and comets kept them bound. Even YAHWEH Declared if man was determine nothing would stop him from doing or going beyond his boundary:

And YAHWEH Said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. Gen 11:6 ​

They refuse to believe that ELOHIM exist and the age of the earth, the creation of man, and animal do not evolve, finally the universe was Created. Instead the educated people and the Mormons, some scientist and now some Biblical scholars believe that aliens came down and built these unanswered buildings and more. We will not believe that we were not running around half naked but mess with DNA, made the dinosaurs as we did the mule. Mixed around and cause confusion with man and beast producing mermaids, centaurs, Cyclops and much more that were destroyed by ELOHIM. We sit around and do not pay attention to Solomon who declares that there is nothing new upon the face of the earth. The earth was divided by four rivers because there was no oceans but most of the land mass is underneath the water causing earthquakes, tsunamis, rapid ageing of the earth throwing off its correct age. More and more will be discovered to prove that man was extremely wise, gifted and intelligent but most will not believe it thinking they have been visited by other beings. We rather believe a lie then the truth!

Yes, it wasn't in our previous studies? I have to double check that.

The hidden manna and Aaron's rod had served their purpose before the Ark came to its final resting place.

The Ark here on earth will also be taken back to Heaven. When the beast return to earth with all of Satan's angels that have been release by YAHWEH to allow them to bring havoc and pain only to the wicked:​

And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from Heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. And it was Commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the Seal of ELOHIM in their foreheads. And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man. Rev 9:1-5 ​

And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from ELOHIM entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them. And they heard a great Voice from Heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to Heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them. Rev 11:11, 12 ​

These verse are symbolic and have been misinterpreted by Uriah Smith and most Protestants during his day. This has nothing at all to do with Islam, John and Daniel vision are the same. John's visions are more in depth to reveal the Time of Trouble, the probation period and those who are saved and waiting to 1,335 days when the SAVIOR will return. YAHWEH gives and angel Command to release the massive amount of evil angels who have been locked down since they fail from grace. Satan has temporally given his power over to the beast. This man has come to his kingdom where he rule's his angels and they are release to return to earth. They are so many that they appear as locust to John and power to strike like scorpions to severely hurt the wicked who will want to die but they can't. The next Chapter ELOHIM rewinds to explain the work of the 144,000 and that the Indo-Europeans (Hellenes) will control Jerusalem which has become Babylon for years before the Time of Trouble. The Two Witness is the Bible at this point that is used by the 144,000 who will stand as Moses and Elijah did in their days. The announcement of a comet, asteroid, meteors will hit the drinking waters and it they will also hit 1/3 of the sun, moon and stars. Everything in our solar system will be out of place by the Command and Wrath of both the FATHER and the LAMB! The beast will return with the angels who will attempt to destroy and defeat the Gospel. However, as they rejoice over the destruction of the Two Witness which was the Bible of all version being completely destroyed. As did the Papacy attempted to do with the Bible during her political terror but was not successful. This great event will take place during the rejoicing or the wicked and a Voice from Heaven will call up the Ark of the Covenant to take it rightful place next to the original Ark of the Covenant.​

I urge all to read your Bible prayerfully and with care through the power of the Holy Spirit.​

‘The Sanctuary in Heaven is the very center of the MESSIAH'S work in behalf of man, it concerns very soul living upon the earth. It is of the utmost importance that we should thoroughly investigate the subject and be able to give to everyone that asketh HIM a reason for the hope that is in HIM.’ RH 11-9-1905.

If our founding pioneers of faith kept the Day of Atonement thinking that YAHSHUA was returning to reclaim HIS Saints. Then it wasn't nailed to the cross then or now and I never could understand this "antitypical" word??????​

[Medieval Latin antitypus, from Late Greek antitupos, copy, antitype, from Greek, corresponding, representing : anti-, equal to, like; see anti- + tupos, print, impression.]The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Ed​

It would not have made sense if this day was nailed to the cross as many believe that Paul stated. However, he did not. As we study to understand the Sanctuary we must look to Revelation Chapter Four and Five and the important of the Feast Days. It very important to realize that the passover supper was a meal and not a day!​

The MESSIAH was standing at the point of transition between two economies and their two great festivals. . .As He ate the passover with HIS disciples, HE instituted in its place the service that was to be the memorial of HIS Great Sacrifice. The national festival of the Jews was to pass away forever. The service which YAHSHUA established was to be observed by HIS followers in all lands and through all ages. DA p.652 ​

The word "festivals" mean a gala, ceremony, ritual or an event that take place on a certain or specific day.​

EGW only stated a fact according to the Bible:​

And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening. And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it. And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they shall eat it. And this day shall be unto you for a Memorial; and ye shall keep it a Feast to YAHWEH throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a Feast by an ordinance forever. Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread; even the first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses: for whosoever eateth leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel. And in the first day there shall be an Holy Convocation (assemble), and in the seventh day there shall be an holy convocation to you; no manner of work shall be done in them, save that which every man must eat, that only may be done of you. And ye shall observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread; for in this selfsame day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt: therefore shall ye observe this day in your generations by an Eternal Statue forever. Ex 12:6-8, 14-17 (Check and compare Bible versions)

Now the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover? Mat 26:17 ​

If we are going to truly understand the Sanctuary then certain questions must be dismiss. That YASHUA did not eat the passover supper on the correct day-wrong HE did! That HE was in the tomb for three days and not-wrong HE was in the tomb only on the Sabbath for exactly 24 hours. That the "three days and three nights," were part of a day called by our leaders inclusive reckoning-wrong. The SAVIOR was taken captive on a Wednesday night modern term but a Thursday night actually. The priest had a illegal nightly trial, a quickly day trial Thursday morning that was stack to have HIM charge for death. Being that they had made the passover supper a false feast day a lot was a mess. During the Babylonian captivity the Sumerians would confuse the time of the celebrated feast they had two suppers:​

The Seder is always held on the 14th day of the Hebrew month of Nissan in the Hebrew/Jewish calendar "at evening" - meaning in fact the 15th day of the Hebrew month of Nissan since the Jewish day begins either at sunset or nightfall depending on the authoritative rabbinical opinion one follows. In the Christian or Gregorian calendar, this date is a moving date and so the Seder may fall in either late March or April depending on the year. . . All other Jews worldwide observe the Passover festival for 8 days, and celebrate the Passover Seder on each of the first two evenings of Passover. Elimelech David Ha-Levi Web​

The question is asked did YAHSHUA keep the accurate day and if so what did John 9:14 mean? If you compare all four Gospel they say the same thing why wouldn't they. John probes deeper to explain the second Seder supper that the Pharisees had not taken. Picking up from Thursday morning the Sanhedrin Council was fixed the Priests and Pharisees took YAHSHUA to the Governor's Hall they enter with HIM to stand before Pilate. They had eaten as did YAHSHUA the first Seder on Wednesday night modern Thursday not literally. At Pilate Hall he sends them all to Herod who is in town for the Feast. Herod's keeps YAHSHUA until midnight and then return HIM to Pilate who was asleep and awoken. This time the sinful Priests and Pharisees had not eaten the second Seder meal. They would not go into the Hall because of their stupid traditions not given by ELOHIM that it was unholy to touch a Gentile/White man or Indo-European! The needed YAHSHUA on the cross that Friday so they could dress up in pomp on a "high" day. ELOHIM never gave this type of Command for the Sabbath it was just one always in the two weekly Feast Days of YAHWEH. The Bible shows proof that the Sanctuary of YAHWEH cannot be understood without keeping all of HIS Feast Days!

GOD REVEALS MYSTERIES IN HIS PLAN OF SALVATION THROUGH JESUS' FULFILLMENT OF THE OLD COVENANT TYPES

The schedule of God's plan of salvation is very clearly and distinctly revealed in the Bible (KJV). This plan is revealed in both the events to take place, and in the exact and precise timing of all these events, WHICH RELATE TO BOTH THE FIRST AND SECOND COMING OF JESUS.

God had chosen Moses as the leader of His ancient people to preserve for the human race this precise and intricate plan, through a fifty-year cycle of ceremonies, a series of rehearsals, in the old Hebrew sanctuary system, which was an exact copy of the original sanctuary in heaven.

“And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them. According to all that I show thee, [after] the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the instruments thereof, even so shall ye make [it].” Exodus 25:8, 9; “...Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, [that] thou make all things according to the pattern showed to thee in the mount.” Hebrews 8:5.

God's plan or His way would be shown through the services of this sanctuary.“Thy way, O God, [is] in the sanctuary:” Psalms 77:13. God had committed the oracles of the sanctuary to the Jewish people.

“What advantage then hath the Jew? Much every way:.. chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God.” Romans 3:1, 2

The sanctuary services culminated in the complete liberation of all slaves, as illustrated by the year of Jubilee, the closing ceremony of the fifty-year cycle. (Leviticus chapter 23 to chapter 25 KJV). Within this fifty-year period were certain ceremonies to be performed at specific times on certain special days, in special prophetic weeks, in specific months during the year, together, with other ceremonies to be performed only in certain designated years (Deuteronomy 31:10-13, Leviticus 25:8-10). This entire round of ceremonies was prophetic, typical of mysteries in God's plan of salvation.

(“ He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.” Matt. 13:11, Luke 8:10)

The significance and meaning of all these ceremonies and of the exact timing of each of these ceremonies could only be interpreted by the true Interpreter, who was none other than its Originator, Jesus the Messiah, the Lamb of God, who would come at the appointed times to fulfill to the finest detail every aspect of each one of these prophetic rituals.

There were seven annual feasts (Leviticus 23:4-42) requiring attendance at the sanctuary. Four were scheduled from the first new moon after the spring equinox, which was the first day of the first month of the sacred year, beginning with the Passover on the 14th day of this first month (Leviticus 23:5-16 KJV), Unleavened Bread, beginning the 15th day, Wave Sheaf, the 16th day, and culminating the 52nd day on the Day of Pentecost (Leviticus 23:15, 16 KJV). The remaining three annual feasts were scheduled from the new moon of the seventh month, beginning on the 1st day of the month with the Feast of Trumpets, then on the 10th day, the Day of Atonement, and on the 15th day began the Feast of Tabernacles which ended on the 22nd day of that same month (Leviticus 23:24-43).

Scattered among these spring and fall feasts were twelve special days that were designated as “Sabbaths”. These were not the Sabbaths of the Lord, the weekly 7th day Sabbath of creation, found within the ten commandments. These were specified to be Sabbaths “besides the Sabbaths of the Lord....” (Leviticus 23:38,39 KJV). They fell on different days of the week each year in a perfect 7-day sequence, scheduled from the new moon, as were the feasts, themselves. Paul, the Apostle, referred to these “Sabbaths” in Colossians 2:16, 17 (KJV), as a “shadow of things to come”, meaning that they were prophetic in nature, and thus were destined to fall on the weekly 7th day Sabbath, the Sabbath of the Lord, in the year of their fulfillment.

There were also prophetic weeks used to calculate the time of the “shadow” Sabbaths leading to the Day of Pentecost (Feast of Weeks) (Leviticus 23:15,16, Exodus 34). These “shadow” weeks were calculated entirely from the new moon, both in the ancient and in the more recent Hebrew calendars.

In addition to the “shadow” Sabbath days, were certain years specified as “Sabbath” years, having a perpetual seven-year cycle. After numbering seven of these “Sabbath” years, equaling a total of 49 years, came the year culminating the entire prophetic cycle, the 50th year, known as the Jubilee year (Leviticus 25 KJV), which was also the first year in the next seven-year cycle of years.

On the Day of Atonement of the Sabbath year certain classes of slaves received their freedom (Deuteronomy 15:1, 12 KJV), while all other slaves waited until the Day of Atonement of the Jubilee year to be set at liberty (Leviticus 25:9-10 KJV).

In contrast with the 52 days of the spring feasts, which were observed unvaried every year, the Sabbath year was especially designated as the year of the fulfillment of the fall feasts, in that there were additional ceremonies being performed during the 22 days of the fall feasts only in that year. In this Sabbath year during the eight days of the Feast of Tabernacles the law of God was taught to the men, women, children and the stranger (Deuteronomy 31:10-13 KJV). The Day of Atonement is the only fall feast with extra special significance in both years, the Sabbath year and the year of Jubilee, with its greatest significance being in the year of Jubilee (Leviticus 25:8-10 KJV) .

The entire 50-year prophetic cycle of the old sanctuary system can only be understood by the interpretation that the Messiah, Jesus, gave through His fulfillment and teaching of the ceremonies or types related to His first coming.

By His fulfillment of the Jubilee, He divided the Jubilee prophecy of Isaiah 61 into two distinct fulfillments, “To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord,” in His public ministry at His first coming, and, “the day of vengeance of our God” just before His second coming. In the synagogue on the Sabbath, the Day of Atonement of the Jubilee year, 27 C.E., He proclaimed the Jubilee by reading the Jubilee prophecy of Isaiah 61:1, 2 KJV (Luke 4:16-21 KJV). He stopped in the middle of the sentence, omitting the phrase, “and the day of vengeance of our God.” (“great and dreadful day of the LORD:” Malachi 4:5) He closed the book and then proclaimed, “This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.” Luke 4:21 KJV, thus the Messiah fulfilled the “shadow” Sabbath specifications of the Day of Atonement in the Jubilee year by its fulfillment on a 7th day Sabbath that year. (Also notice the Bible cross-referencing for Luke 4:16-21 and Isaiah 61:1,2 which refer back to Leviticus 25:8-10)

Josephus, the first century Jewish historian, in the book, “JOSEPHUS COMPLETE WORKS,” p. 706, begins his list of the ancient Jubilee years with the year, “1787-1786 B.C.E.” and ends the list with his last recorded Jubilee year of “27-28 C.E.” the year that Jesus proclaimed the Jubilee.

The ancient Hebrew calendar (Hillel I) begins the new year with the new moon after the spring equinox, and ends the following spring with the first new moon after the spring equinox. Later, the Hillel II calendar adopted between 354 C.E. and 360 C.E. began with the nearest new moon to the spring equinox, which could be either before it or after it. There were only 7 months in this sacred year involving the sanctuary services, although the count of the months continued until the new moon after the next spring equinox. The end of the seventh month was generally considered the end of the sacred year. (Exodus 23:14-17, 34:22-23)

In the ancient Hebrew writings is recorded an amazing prophecy made by Elijah, the prophet, regarding the appearing of the Messiah in connection with the Jubilee year.

“Elijah told Judah, the brother of Sala Hasida, 'The world will endure not less than 85 Jubilees, and on the last Jubilee the Son of David will come.” (Sanh.97b) from the book, Sabbatical Year and Jubilee, p. 581-582 (Jewish Synagogue Library)

(No one knows exactly how long the earth endured from the creation of the world until man fell into sin, but it would not have been much over the time of two Jubilees (a period of 98 years), as Adam's third son was born when Adam was one hundred and thirty years old (Genesis 5:3) and Abel had just been killed by Cain. From the entrance of sin until the Jubilee year of 27 C.E. when Jesus started His public ministry, could have been about 4067 years or 83 Jubilee cycles, which consequently would have been 85 Jubilees after creation, fitting exactly this recorded prophecy of Elijah)

In these same ancient Hebrew writings is stated,

“The sages ... reckoned the historical order and the end of time by Sabbatical Years and Jubilees.” from the book, Sabbatical Year and Jubilee, p. 581 (Jewish Synagogue Library)

“Israel counted 17 Jubilees from the time they entered the land to the time they left it” (Ar. 12b). from the book, Sabbatical Year and Jubilee, p. 581 (Jewish Synagogue Library)

God's instruction to Moses was that they should begin the count from the time they entered the land of Canaan.

“Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land which I give you, then shall the land keep a Sabbath unto the LORD. Six years thou shalt sow thy field, and gather in the fruit thereof; But in the seventh year shall be a Sabbath of rest unto the land, ... thou shalt number seven Sabbaths of years unto thee, seven times seven years; and the space of the seven Sabbaths of years shall be unto thee forty and nine years...Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the Jubilee to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month,...And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty...” Leviticus 25:2-4, 9, 10

Christ's fulfillment of the Jubilee on the 7th day Sabbath, the Day of Atonement of that Jubilee year, in the autumn of 27 C.E., gives us the interpretation of the final fulfillment of the Jubilee, “the day of vengeance of our God,” Isaiah 61:1, 2 KJV, which will, also, occur on the Day of Atonement, on a 7th day Sabbath of a future Jubilee year.

Three and one-half years after the Messiah's fulfillment of the Jubilee at His first coming, He fulfilled the spring feasts in the middle of the 70th week of years, according to Daniel's prophecy (Daniel 9:24, 25, 27 KJV), when He offered up His life as the Lamb of God at the exact time, the ninth hour, corresponding to 3:00 p.m., that the Passover Lamb was to be killed on Passover (Matthew 27).

“From that time forth began Jesus to show unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day.” Matthew 16:21, Matthew 17:22,23, Matthew 20:17-19, Mark 9:31,32, Mark 10:32-34, Luke 9:21,22, Luke 13:32, Luke 18:33, Luke 24:7,8. All texts from the King James Version.

“But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done..... And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.” Luke 24:21, 27 KJV

“And he said unto them, These [are] the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and [in] the prophets, and [in] the psalms, concerning me. Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures, And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:” Luke 24:44-46 KJV

In the year, 31 C.E. when the Messiah was crucified, all eight of the “shadow” Sabbaths of the spring feasts (Leviticus 23:15, 16 KJV) occurred on Holy 7th day Sabbaths, the first one of these eight was the day after the crucifixion when the Messiah rested in Joseph's tomb, with the last one of these eight being the day before the fulfillment of the Day of Pentecost, “from the morrow after the sabbath,...; seven sabbaths shall be complete:... after the seventh sabbath”(Leviticus 23:15, 16 KJV “And when the day of Pentecost was fully come,...And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost.” Acts 2:1,4 KJV.

By the Messiah's fulfillment of the “shadow Sabbath” falling on the Holy 7th day Sabbath, the day after His crucifixion, He interpreted the prophetic “shadow” Sabbaths that were dispersed throughout the spring and fall feast days, showing clearly that these “shadow” Sabbaths are prophetic of Holy 7th day Sabbaths in the designated year of the fulfillment of the spring and fall feast days.

“...that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the Sabbath day, (for that Sabbath day was an high day,)” John 19:31 KJV.

“High Day” was, and is, the term used whenever “shadow” Sabbaths fall on Holy 7th day Sabbaths. He rose from the dead on the “third day”, the day that the Wave Sheaf offering was to be presented before the Lord, which always took place on the 16th day of the first month.

 

[Martinman]

“And he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the Sabbath the priest shall wave it.” Leviticus 23:11 KJV.

Josephus, the first century Jewish historian, states that the Wave Sheaf offering was always waved on the 16th day of the first month.

Josephus, a renowned Pharisee; [Antiquities III, Chapter X, Paragraph 5]

"In the month of Xanthicus, which is by us called Nisan, and is the beginning of our year, on the fourteenth day of the lunar month, when the sun is in Aries, (for in this month it was that we were delivered from bondage under the Egyptians,) the law ordained that we should every year slay that sacrifice which I before told you we slew when we came out of Egypt, and which was called the Passover; and so we do celebrate this passover in companies, leaving nothing of what we sacrifice till the day following. The feast of unleavened bread succeeds that of the passover, and falls on the fifteenth day of the month, and continues seven days, wherein they feed on unleavened bread; on every one of which days two bulls are killed, and one ram, and seven lambs. Now these lambs are entirely burnt, besides the kid of the goats which is added to all the rest, for sins; for it is intended as a feast for the priest on every one of those days. But on the second day of unleavened bread, which is the sixteenth day of the month, they first partake of the fruits of the earth, for before that day they do not touch them. And while they suppose it proper to honor God, from whom they obtain this plentiful provision, in the first place, they offer the first-fruits ,of their barley and that in the manner following: They take a handful of the ears, and dry them, then beat them small, and purge the barley from the bran; they then bring one tenth deal to the altar, to God; and, casting one handful of it upon the fire, they leave the rest for the use of the priest. And after this it is that they may publicly or privately reap their harvest. They also at this participation of the first-fruits of the earth, sacrifice a lamb, as a burnt-offering to God. " Josephus, a renowned Pharisee; Antiquities III, Chapter X, Paragraph 5

 

[Martinman]

The ancient Hebrew calendar, the Hillel I calendar, was used from the time of Moses and was in use during the time of the crucifixion and used until approximately the middle of the 4th century when the Hillel II calendar was adopted, which is still in use today, illustrated by the perpetual Hebrew calendar, “Hebcal”. Both calendars have always designated the waving of the Wave Sheaf on the 16th day of the first month.

To summarize, then, using the Messiah's interpretation of the prophetic types or feasts of the old sanctuary system, through His fulfillment at His first coming, the following principles are evident.

He fulfilled the spring feasts within the 52-day period from the Passover to the Day of Pentecost exactly, as illustrated by the type (Leviticus 23:5-16). He died at the time of the slaying of the Passover lamb at the ninth hour of the day, which is the equivalent to 3:00 o'clock in the afternoon, the 14th day of the first Hebrew month. This was the day of the Passover, the day before the “shadow” Sabbath. Passover fell on a Friday that year. Again, exactly as the type prophesied that it must.

This “shadow” Sabbath was the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the 15th day of the first Hebrew month, and overlaid the Holy 7th day Sabbath that year, being called a “High Sabbath”.

The Wave Sheaf ceremony which was “on the morrow after the Sabbath the priest shall wave it,” (Leviticus 23:11 KJV) was observed on the second day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the 16th day of the first Hebrew month. This 16th day fell on a Sunday that year, 31 C.E. The Messiah's resurrection fulfilled this ceremony on the exact day of the week as the type had prophesied.

From this second day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, seven “shadow” Sabbaths, or seven complete (lunar-based) weeks (or 49 days) were to be counted to reach to the day before the Day of Pentecost (Leviticus 23:15, 16). The Day of Pentecost fell on the day after the seventh “shadow” Sabbath, also, a Sunday that year. Thus, all eight of the “shadow” Sabbaths in the spring feasts that year occurred on 7th day Sabbaths, exactly as prophesied by Moses.

WHENEVER the new moon falls on a 7th day Sabbath, all of the “shadow” Sabbaths scheduled from that NEW MOON, also fall on 7th day Sabbaths, whether in the first month of the year or the seventh month of the year. All twelve of these “shadow” Sabbaths are thus destined to fall on seventh-day Sabbaths in their fulfillment. THIS FACT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO COMPREHEND.

In order for a complete fulfillment of the types or ceremonies relating to the second coming, all the specifications given in Moses' writings must be met, according to the manner in which the types relating to Christ's first appearing were fulfilled by Jesus the Messiah.

This would entail a fulfillment of the fall feasts within the 22 literal days, as illustrated by the type, and as interpreted by the Messiah's fulfillment of the types relating to His first coming. All four “shadow” Sabbaths in the fall feasts must occur on Holy 7th day Sabbaths in the year of their greatest significance.

All the fall feasts within the literal 22 days have extra special significance only in the Sabbath year (Deuteronomy 31:10-13). But only the Day of Atonement of the fall feasts had extra special significance in both, the Sabbath year and in the year of Jubilee, with the greatest significance being in the year of Jubilee, the year when the Day of Atonement occurs on a 7th day Sabbath.

The services of the Day of Atonement were structured to figuratively cleanse the sanctuary by the blotting out of sins that had been accumulating in the sanctuary during the entire year. Although sins, by true confession, were forgiven daily through the blood of the sacrifice, they were transferred by the blood to the sanctuary to be blotted out once each year on the Day of Atonement through the blood of the Lord's goat. This accomplished the cleansing of the sanctuary. After blotting out the sins, the high priest, a type of Jesus, placed them on the head of the scape goat. (Leviticus 16:7-22 KJV)

As in the typical ceremonies, a certain class of Hebrew slaves received their freedom on the Day of Atonement of the Sabbath year (Deuteronomy 15:1, 12), and all other slaves were set free on the Day of Atonement of the Jubilee year (Leviticus 25:10), so in the fulfillment of the Sabbath year on the Day of Atonement (a Monday that year) the sins of a certain class of individuals would be blotted out, while all others would wait until the next year on the Day of Atonement of the year of Jubilee for their complete freedom, when the Day of Atonement will occur on a seventh-day Sabbath.

Therefore, in the seventh Sabbath year, the 49th year, when the new moon of the seventh month falls on a 7th day Sabbath, all four of the “shadow” Sabbaths of the fall feasts fall on 7th day Sabbaths in the year of their greatest significance, which would be in the seventh Sabbath year and in the year of Jubilee. Therefore, this would point to the fulfillment of these fall feast days in the Sabbath year, actually, the 7th Sabbath year, which precedes the Jubilee, and in the Jubilee year, itself.

So, in the seventh Sabbath year, when the Feast of Trumpets, (the new moon of the seventh month) falls on a 7th day Sabbath, the first day and the eighth day of the Feast of Tabernacles fall on 7th day Sabbaths, and the very next year, the year of Jubilee, the Day of Atonement, also, falls on a 7th day Sabbath. See “Hebcal” the perpetual Hebrew calendar.

The Apostle Peter referred to the fulfillment of the Day of Atonement in the fall feasts just before the second coming of Jesus, the Messiah, when He said,

“Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord and He shall send Jesus Christ....” Acts 3:19 KJV.

This text refers to the blotting out of sins which was typically performed on the Day of Atonement in the old sanctuary system, the old covenant. The blotting out of sins was considered to be the “cleansing of the sanctuary”. The prophet Daniel is given a time period of 2300 days, after which time the sanctuary would be cleansed (Daniel 8:14). In many cases the time prophecies of the Bible that have a prophetic time fulfillment, also have a literal time fulfillment. Prophetic time means that one day is taken to mean one year. (See Numbers 14:34, Ezekiel 4:6) In both literal and prophetic time this period of 2300 days would involve many years, it could not be referring to the yearly ritual service performed each Day of Atonement in the old Hebrew sanctuary, but to the specific time of the actual fulfillment of the prophetic types in the new covenant, (the heavenly sanctuary system).

This 2300-day prophecy is connected to both the types related to the first coming of Jesus, as well as, the types related to His second coming. The angel explains to Daniel that the “going forth of the commandment to restore and build Jerusalem,” (Daniel 9:25) is the beginning of this prophetic time period. From the beginning point in 457 B.C.E. when Artaxerses, the Babylonian king's decree “to restore and build Jerusalem” went forth, a time period of 69 weeks would elapse until the Messiah (Daniel 9:25) would begin His public ministry at His first appearing, and 3 and ½ years later in the middle of the 70th week of years (Daniel 9:26, 27) Messiah would fulfill the spring feasts in 31 C.E. in 52 literal days by His death and resurrection and by the Holy Ghost falling on the disciples on the Day of Pentecost. The 70 weeks of years (490 years) ended in 34 C.E. at the stoning of Stephen.

All of the time periods in this fulfillment of the 2300-day prophecy are calculated in prophetic time, each day meaning one year. Thus, the 2300 days (2300 years) ended on the Day of Atonement, Tuesday, October 22, 1844, (Hillel I), in the middle of the typical week of years. The first angel of Revelation 14:6-10 points to the end of the 2300 days as the hour of God's judgment.

“And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth,.. Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come:” Revelation 14:6, 7.

This was the beginning of the judgment of the dead in which their sins were blotted out of the heavenly sanctuary and is spoken of by John, the Revelator, in Revelation 6:11 “And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season,...” “...until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they [were], should be fulfilled.” Revelation 6:11. They were told to rest until after the persecution at the end of time; then the “dead in Christ shall rise first” at the time of the resurrection (1 Thessalonians 4:16).

This 2300-year period was not the final fulfillment of the 2300-day prophecy, although ending on the Day of Atonement, most of the specifications for the fulfillment of the fall feasts (Leviticus 23:24-39, Deuteronomy 31:10-13) were not met in that prophetic fulfillment in the year, 1844.

The following specifications as given by Moses for the fulfillment of the fall feasts that were not met in the 1844 prophetic fulfillment are:

--no fulfillment of all 3 of the fall feasts in the 22 literal days as shown in the type,

--the year 1844 was in the middle of the week of years, it was not a Sabbath year, or a 7th Sabbath year or a year of Jubilee, as required in the typical service. Also the historical Jubilee had already occurred in the year 1840.

--the Day of Atonement, October 22, 1844, did not occur on a Monday as it must in the 7th Sabbatical year, nor did it occur on a 7th-day Sabbath as prophesied for the Jubilee year. Nor did the Feast of Trumpets or the first day and the eighth day of the Feast of Tabernacles fall on 7th day Sabbaths as they must when these feasts are fulfilled in the 7th Sabbath year. There was only a prophetic fulfillment of one of the fall feast days, and no fulfillment of the other fall feast days.

--the sins of the living individuals were not blotted out, which would result in the inability to recall previous sins, which must be the case in the fulfillment of the Day of Atonement in the anti-typical Jubilee year, when the saints will be set free from the slavery of this world and from all remembrance of their sins and delivered from all temptation.

The angel instructing Daniel stated that the “going forth” of the commandment to restore and build Jerusalem would mark the beginning of the 2300-day prophetic period, the fact that there were three separate commandments or decrees providing for the restoration and the rebuilding of Jerusalem that “went forth”, each decree issued by a different ruling monarch of the Medo-Persian realm, is very significant. Each of the successive commandments providing for the restoration and the rebuilding of Jerusalem, was given in more detail, with the third and final decree in 457 B.C.E. being the most complete.

These three decrees are recorded in the Bible. (See Ezra 1:1-3, 5:13; Ezra 6:1-12; Ezra 7:11-27)

 

[Martinman]

These three commandments to restore and build Jerusalem are prophetic of three fulfillment's of the 2300-day prophecy, the first fulfillment being in prophetic time (a day equaling a year) and the two remaining fulfillment's being in literal days, each beginning with the “going forth” of a commandment to restore and build Jerusalem. The third and final 2300-day period will be the most complete in fulfilling the types relating to Christ's second coming.

The second fulfillment of the 2300-day prophecy began unexpectedly with the “going forth” of a commandment to restore and build Jerusalem, on Friday, June 27, 1980, 2300 literal days before the Day of Atonement, October 13, 1986, in the first perfect alignment of the “shadow” Sabbaths falling on 7th day Sabbaths in the fall feasts in the 49th and 50th years, since the time of Jesus, the Messiah. This alignment was the first of a series, with three more such alignments that occur only now in our day at the end of the 6000 years of human history, after which there are none occurring, even if one searches a thousand years farther into the future. (See “Hebcal”, the perpetual Hebrew calendar)

This commandment that “went forth” on June 27, 1980, via Reuters international news agency to the entire world, titled, “Basic Law: Jerusalem Capitol of Israel,” put forward by a member of the Israeli Knesset, Guela Cohen, provided for the restoring of Jerusalem as the capitol of the nation and allocated special funds for its rebuilding.. Many may remember that since 1948 when the nation of Israel was formed, Tel Aviv had been the capitol.

An integral part of the 2300-day prophecy, is the first 70-week period. “Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness,...” Daniel 9:24.

In the 2300 prophetic days (the 2300 years), the 70-week time period equaling 490 actual years reached to 34 C.E. when Stephen, the first Christian martyr, met his death by stoning and the Apostle Paul was ordained by God to carry the gospel message to the Gentiles, thus ending the Jewish dispensation and beginning the “times of the Gentiles.” Luke 21:24

In the second fulfillment of the 2300-day prophecy the first 70-week period was 490 literal days, ending on October 29, 1981. On that very day the Ark of the Covenant which had been secreted in a cave on Mt. Nebo since the days of Jeremiah, the prophet, was found by four amateur archaeologists from Winfield, Kansas. Their leader, Tom Crotser, was shown by a dream that night, the exact location and how to reach it. When they found it, during that same night, they did not touch or disturb it, but reported there find. The Jordanian government sent their head archaeologist to verify the find. After entering the cave and proceeding only a short distance down the corridor he was overcome and felt that he must leave at once. The entrance was resealed and guards were posted to prevent further investigation. The government of Jordan was urged to seek fame by removing the sacred chest from the cave and claiming ownership to it. But they declined.

This event marked the “end of the times of the Gentiles” (“Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.” Luke 21:24). At this time the professed Christian Church corporations, classified as nonprofit 501(c)(3) corporations, were weighed in the balance of the sanctuary and were “found wanting”. Daniel 5:27 “...weighed in the balances, and art found wanting.” All nonprofit 501(c)(3) corporations, being incorporated under Roman Catholic canon law (Ecclesiastical Law), are subject to and governed by the requirements of that law.

Just as the 2300 years ended on a Day of Atonement, Tuesday, October 22, 1844 (according to the Hillel I calendar), so the 2300 days from Friday, June 27, 1980, reached to the Day of Atonement, Monday, October 13, 1986, a 49th year just before the year of Jubilee. This 49th year, the year of their greatest significance, the Feast of Trumpets and the first and eighth day of the Feast of Tabernacles, all fell on 7th day Sabbaths. In this perfect alignment the Day of Atonement occurred on a 7th day Sabbath, October 3, 1987, the Jubilee year, in which the Day of Atonement met the Sabbath specifications in the year of its greatest significance, (in Hillel I & in Hillel II).

Another dramatic event took place when Pope John Paul II ended his year of Jubilee on Easter Sunday, April 22, 1984, when he closed a special door of St. Peter's Basilica, declaring the close of his Jubilee year. Amazingly, there are exactly 42 months or more precisely 1260 literal days from April 22, 1984 until the Sabbath Day of Atonement, October 3, in God's typical Jubilee year of 1987.

“Pope John Paul II closed the Holy Door of St. Peter's Basilica. That gesture ended the extra-ordinary Holy Year of Redemption.--Kevin Castillo—AP Network News—Rome”. April 22, 1984

Quoting from the Apostolic Letter of Pope John Paul II, given on Good Friday, April 20, 1984, he stated:

“As the Jubilee Year of Redemption draws to a close, my thoughts go out to that special land which is located in that place where Europe, Asia and Africa meet...” given on Good Friday, April 20, 1984, also in L'Osservatore Roman, April 30, 1984, Weekly Edition.

The Pope's Jubilee year was heralded by other Churches, as well. The Seventh-day Adventist Church paper, The Advent Review, January 5, 1984, published an article entitled, “Year of the Lord's favor—Let the trumpet sound: bells ring out for this new year—a year of jubilee. 1984”

Strangely enough, October 3, 1987, God's historical Jubilee, received no attention whatsoever by the Christian community. Altho the Advent Review, January 5, 1984 did recognize God's Jubilee of 27 CE.

The future fulfillment of the 2300-day prophecy will be the third and most complete fulfillment involving the blotting out of the sins of the faithful who are alive on the earth, the beginning of the final cleansing of the heavenly sanctuary, as the Apostle Peter stated, to precede the second coming of the Saviour. “God requireth that which is past.” Ecclesiastes 3:10

“Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord; And he shall send Jesus Christ,...” Acts 3:19

“Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.” Daniel 12:10

“...they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy. He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life,...” Revelation 3:4,5.

This future and last fulfillment of the 2300-day prophecy will begin with the “going forth” of another “commandment to restore and build Jerusalem.” This will be exactly and precisely 2300 days before the Day of Atonement in the 7th Sabbath year the year just before the year of Jubilee, when all four of the “shadow” Sabbaths in the fall feasts will occur on 7th day Sabbaths in the year of their greatest significance. And the great Jubilee is ushered in on the Sabbath Day of Atonement of the Jubilee year. “That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been;” Ecclesiastes 3:10

The first 70 weeks of this future 2300 days will be marked with a major event, very likely involving the Ark of the Covenant, as was brought to our attention by its discovery during the previous literal fulfillment of the 2300 days. This Ark containing the ten commandment law of God is destined to be the great issue in the fulfillment of the prophecies connected with the judgment of the living at the end of time. This is evidenced by the words of the Bible prophet, Jeremiah, after he and his companions hid the ark in a cave on Mt. Nebo, on the peak of Pisgah, as is indicated by his statement and recorded in the book of 2 Maccabees, chapter 2. This book is included in the original 1611 Edition of the King James' Version of the Bible.

“4 It was also contained in the same writing (of Jeremiah) ,how the prophet (Jeremiah), being warned by God, commanded that the tabernacle and the ark should accompany him, till he come forth to the mountain where Moses went up and saw the inheritance of God.

5 And when Jeremiah came thither he found a hollow cave: and he carried in thither the tabernacle and the ark and the altar of incense and so stopped the door.

6 Then some of them that followed him came up to mark the place: but they could not find it.

7 And when Jeremiah perceived it, he blamed them, saying: The place shall be unknown till God gather together the congregation of the people and receive them to mercy.

8 And then the Lord will shew these things : and the majesty of the Lord shall appear and there shall be a cloud, as it was also shewed to Moses, and he shewed it when Solomon prayed that the place might be sanctified to the great God.” 2 Maccabees 2:4-8 (Isaiah 4:4-6)

The Day of Atonement that ends this last and final 2300-day period will be the day that Christ, our Heavenly High Priest begins the work of “blotting out” the sins of the living from the books of record in the heavenly sanctuary for those who have been faithful and the “blotting out” of the names from the book of life of those who have been found to be unfaithful.

Five days later, after this special Day of Atonement, on the first day of the fulfillment of the Feast of Tabernacles, (a 7th day Sabbath), God's people will be surviving in wilderness surroundings until the end of time, as evidenced by the seven days of this feast. Seven indicates completeness and extending to the end of time. These seven days are immediately followed by the eighth day of the feast (Leviticus 23:39 which is also a 7th day Sabbath in this seventh Sabbath year. Notice the diminishing number of sacrifices each day of this feast, indicating that God's mercy is ending.

The year following the seventh Sabbath year is the Jubilee year when the Day of Atonement falls on a 7th day Sabbath, and the Jubilee trumpet is blown on this Day of Atonement announcing the “day of vengeance of our God;” Isaiah 61:2. Christ stands up and declares, “He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward [is] with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.” Revelation 22:11, 12. This declaration completes His work in the heavenly sanctuary. Then Jesus receives His kingdom and prepares to return to this earth.

This day also ends the 1260-day period or 42 months which begins at the enforcement of the mark of the beast, the “abomination of desolation.” “When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet”, is the warning sign given by the Messiah (Matthew 24:15). The apostle John writes of this same period (Revelation 13:5 “... power was given unto him to continue forty [and] two months. .”). This Sabbath Day of Atonement in this Jubilee year marks the end of the 6000 years of sin on this earth and the beginning of the 7th millennium, the Sabbath millennium of rest for the earth. After Christ's declaration in Revelation 22:11, He prepares to return to this earth which takes some number of days, during which time the 144.000 have control of the earth.

Correction: Josephus was a traitor to his own people who aided Titus in the destruction of Jerusalem. He pretended to take a straw vote to commit suicide with the others soldiers but trick them all and allowed the Roman to take him because he was a Roman citizen. Yes he was a Pharisee but he held on to false tradition that YAHSHUA was against. He also put the SAVIOUR down and his history has many errors I have all of his books. The Pharisee were the ones that falsely changed the Wave sheaf that was to be waved as YAHSHUA did counting seven Sabbath from the Sabbath after the one of the week of the Feast of Unleavened Bread. (There are no such things as ceremonial sabbaths). This would be forty nine days and the fiftieth day is always on a Sunday. They also along with the priest changed the truth of the passover to be a Feast Day it was not it was the supper to be eaten the night of the Feast of Unleavened Bread that begins the Feast.​

EGW used Josephus' history as her resource in her books that are proven errors due to reason digs. Josephus is not a renowned historian and he is not a good source of study or a point of reference unless used him to show error!​

Blessings also to our President and the victims in the reason storm,

[BIBLE]“MUST BE FULFILLED AT THE TIME POINTED
OUT IN THE SYMBOLIC SERVICE”[/BIBLE]
BY THE PROPHET E.G. WHITE

“I could say much regarding the sanctuary, the ark containing the law of God, the cover of the ark, which is the mercy seat, the angels at either end of the ark, and other things connected with the heavenly sanctuary and with the great day of atonement. I could say much regarding the mysteries of heaven, but my lips are closed. I have no inclination to try to describe them.” {2MR 320.2}

“Light will come to God's people, and those who have sought to close the door will either repent or be removed out of the way. The time has come when a new impetus must be given to the work. There are terrible scenes before us, and Satan is seeking to keep from our knowledge the very things that God would have us know. God has messengers and messages for his people. If ideas are presented that differ in some points from our former doctrines, we must not condemn them without diligent search of the Bible to see if they are true. We must fast and pray and search the Scriptures as did the noble Bereans, to see if these things are so. We must accept every ray of light that comes to us. Through earnest prayer and diligent study of God's word, dark things will be made plain to the understanding.” ST, May 26, 1890 par. 12

“As the light is diffused, given to others, greater light will come. The reason why the churches sit in darkness and have no light, is that they have not given light, they have not been as a city set upon a hill, that cannot be hid.” RH, February 10, 1891 par. 13

“ Every act of consecration to God brings joy; for as we appreciate the light He has given us, more and greater light will come. ML 174.4

“Yet every mind through whom the Holy Spirit has worked has presented these themes in a light that is fresh and new. The truths of redemption are capable of constant development and expansion. Though old, they are ever new, constantly revealing to the seeker for truth a greater glory and a mightier power.
In every age there is a new development of truth, a message of God to the people of that generation. The old truths are all essential; new truth is not independent of the old, but an unfolding of it. It is only as the old truths are understood that we can comprehend the new. When Christ desired to open to His disciples the truth of His resurrection, He began "at Moses and all the prophets" and "expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning Himself." Luke 24:27. But it is the light which shines in the fresh unfolding of truth that glorifies the old. He who rejects or neglects the new does not really possess the old. For him it loses its vital power and becomes but a lifeless form.” COL 127-128

“Follow every ray of light that you see, and that which is shadowy will be made clear to your understanding as you walk in the light.” ST, January 24, 1895 par. 5

“Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath [days] Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body [is] of Christ.” Colossians 2:16,17

“It is when we walk in the light that shines upon us, obeying the truth that is open to our understanding, that we receive greater light. We cannot be excusable in accepting only the light which our fathers had one hundred years ago” ML 310.2 HS 197.1

“There is to be in the [Seventh-day Adventist] churches a wonderful manifestation of the power of God, but it will not move upon those who have not humbled themselves before the Lord, and opened the door of the heart by confession and repentance. In the manifestation of that power which lightens the earth with the glory of God, they will see only something which in their blindness they think dangerous, something which will arouse their fears, and they will brace themselves to resist it. Because the Lord does not work according to their ideas and expectations they will oppose the work. "Why," they say, "should we not know the Spirit of God, when we have been in the work so many years?"--RH Extra, Dec. 23, 1890. {LDE 209,10}

“And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words [are] closed up and sealed till the time of the end.
Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.” Daniel 12:9,10

“There can be no stronger evidence in churches that the truths of the Bible have not sanctified the receivers than their attachment to some favorite minister, and their unwillingness to accept and be profited by the labors of some other teacher who is sent to them in the providence of God.” 6BC 1086

“It is not enough to have good intentions; it is not enough to do what a man thinks is right or what the minister tells him is right. His soul's salvation is at stake, and he should search the Scriptures for himself. However strong may be his convictions, however confident he may be that the minister knows what is truth, this is not his foundation. He has a chart pointing out every waymark on the heavenward journey, and he ought not to guess at anything.” DD 38.2 GC88 598.1

“...take the Bible... the Lord has preserved this Holy Book by His own miraculous power in its present shape--a chart or guidebook to the human family to show them the way to heaven. . . .” FLB 13.6

“The Bible … It tells us of the love of God as shown in the plan of redemption, imparting the knowledge essential for all--the knowledge of Christ. He is the Sent of God; He is the Author of our salvation." LHU 130.5


“TYPICAL OF MYSTERIES IN THE PLAN OF REDEMPTION”

“The gospel of Christ reflects glory upon the Jewish age. It sheds light upon the whole Jewish economy, and gives significance to the ceremonial law. The tabernacle, or temple, of God on earth was a pattern of the original in heaven. All the ceremonies of the Jewish law were prophetic, typical of mysteries in the plan of redemption.” 6BC 1095.5

“Christ was the foundation of the Jewish economy. The whole system of types and symbols was a compacted prophecy of the gospel, a presentation in which were bound up the promises of redemption.” AA 14.1

“ In Him the sacrificial types were to meet their anti-type, and His death on the cross was to lend significance to the entire Jewish economy.” AA 227.3

“The past, the history of the Jewish economy from the beginning to the end, instead of being spoken of contemptuously and sneered at as “the dark ages,” will reveal light, and still more light, as it is studied.” CTr 327.3 “it is sacred. Even after it was no longer to be observed,” ST, July 29, 1886

“Christ's mission was not understood by the people of His time. The manner of His coming was not in accordance with their expectations. The Lord Jesus was the foundation of the whole Jewish economy. Its imposing services were of divine appointment. They were designed to teach the people that at the time appointed One would come to whom those ceremonies pointed.” COL 34.3

“With profound and reverent interest the elders of Israel should have been studying the PLACE, the TIME, the circumstances, of the greatest event in the world's history,—the coming of the Son of God to accomplish the redemption of man. All the people should have been watching and waiting that they might be among the first to welcome the world's Redeemer.” GC88 313.1

“When Jesus in the synagogue read from the prophecy, He stopped short of the final specification concerning the Messiah's work. Having read the words, "To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord," He omitted the phrase, "and the day of vengeance of our God." Isaiah 61:2. This was just as much truth as was the first of the prophecy, and by His silence Jesus did not deny the truth. But this last expression was that upon which His hearers delighted to dwell, and which they were desirous of fulfilling.” DA 240

"The light shone in the darkness, and the darkness comprehended it not." 2SP 84.1

“Few realize the full meaning of the words that Christ spoke when, in the synagogue at Nazareth, He announced Himself as the Anointed One.” AA 416

“In types and symbols the great truths of redemption were veiled. Yet when Christ came, the Jews did not recognize Him to whom all these symbols pointed. They had the word of God in their hands; but the traditions which had been handed down from generation to generation, and the human interpretation of the Scriptures, hid from them the truth as it is in Jesus. The spiritual import of the sacred writings was lost. The treasure house of all knowledge was open to them, but they knew it not.” COL 104.4

“Christ and His mission had been but dimly understood as typified in the shadowy sacrifices. Even John had not fully comprehended the future, immortal life through the Saviour.” DA 220.2

“And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up for to read.
And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written,
The Spirit of the Lord [is] upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
And he closed the book, and he gave [it] again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.
And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.” Luke 4:16-21

“From time to time divinely appointed messengers of truth were to be raised up to call attention to the meaning of the sacrificial ceremonies, and especially to the promise of Jehovah concerning the advent of the One toward whom all the ordinances of the sacrificial system pointed. Thus the world was to be kept from universal apostasy.” PK 687.1

“If they are indeed Christians, they are prepared to acknowledge the sacredness and importance of the shadowy types, as they see the accomplishment of the events which they represent. The death of Christ gives the Christian a correct knowledge of the system of ceremonies and explains prophecies which still remain obscure to the Jews.” RH, May 6, 1875 par. 12

“CREATION SABBATH” “NOT A SHADOW”

“The Sabbath was committed to Adam, the father and representative of the whole human family. Its observance was to be an act of grateful acknowledgment, on the part of all who should dwell upon the earth, that God was their creator and their rightful sovereign; that they were the work of His hands, and the subjects of His authority. Thus the institution was wholly commemorative, and given to all mankind. There was nothing in it SHADOWY, or of restricted application to any people.” FLB 32.2

 

[Martinman]

“The death of Jesus Christ for the redemption of man lifts the veil and reflects a flood of light back hundreds of years, upon the whole institution of the Jewish system of religion. Without the death of Christ all this system was meaningless. The Jews reject Christ, and therefore their whole system of religion is to them indefinite, unexplainable, and uncertain. They attach as much importance to SHADOWY CEREMONIES of types which have met their antitype as they do to the law of the ten commandments, which WAS NOT A SHADOW, but a reality as enduring as the throne of Jehovah. The death of Christ elevates the Jewish system of types and ordinances, showing that they were of divine appointment, and for the purpose of keeping faith alive in the hearts of His people” RH May 6, 1875, 6BC 1097.2

“At last Jesus was at rest. The long day of shame and torture was ended. As the last rays of the setting sun ushered in the Sabbath, the Son of God lay in quietude in Joseph's tomb. His work completed, His hands folded in peace, He rested through the sacred hours of the Sabbath day. … With this scene the day upon which Jesus rested is forever linked. …. When there shall be a "restitution of all things ... the creation Sabbath, the day on which Jesus lay at rest in Joseph's tomb, will still be a day of rest and rejoicing. Heaven and earth will unite in praise, as "from one Sabbath to another" (Isaiah 66:23) the nations of the saved shall bow in joyful worship to God and the Lamb.” DA 769,770

“...the moral law was repeated in awful grandeur from Sinai. Christ gave to Moses religious precepts which were to GOVERN EVERYDAY LIFE. These statutes were explicitly given to guard the ten commandments. They were not SHADOWY TYPES to pass away with the death of Christ. They were to be binding upon men in every age as long as time should last. These commands were enforced by the power of the moral law, and they clearly and definitely explained that law.” Ibid., April 15, 1875 [Reprinted in RH May 6, 1875]). 1BC 1104.6


“THE LATTER RAIN” “THE KEY THAT UNLOCKS ITS MYSTERIES”

“The significance of the Jewish economy is NOT YET fully comprehended. Truths vast and profound are shadowed forth in its rites and symbols. The gospel is the key that unlocks its mysteries.” COL 133

“He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.” Matt. 13:11, Luke 8:10

“I was taken off in vision. . . . I saw that we sensed and realized but little of the importance of the Sabbath, to what we yet should realize and know of its importance and glory. . . . But when the refreshing and latter rain shall come from the presence of the Lord and the glory of His power . . . . Then shall we see the Sabbath more in its importance and glory. But we shall not see it in all its glory and importance until the covenant of peace is made with us at the voice of God, . . . .” Mar 245

“But there was one clear place of settled glory, whence came the voice of God … Then commenced the jubilee, when the land should rest.” EW 34-25

“I saw that God had children, who do not see and keep the Sabbath. They had not rejected the light on it. And at the commencement of the time of trouble, we were filled with the Holy Ghost as we went forth, and proclaimed the Sabbath more fully. This enraged the church, and nominal Adventists, as they could not refute the Sabbath truth. And at this time, God's chosen all saw clearly that we had the truth, and they came out and endured the persecution with us. And I saw the sword, famine, pestilence, and great confusion in the land. The wicked thought that we had brought the judgments down on them. They rose up and took counsel to rid the earth of us, thinking that then the evil would be stayed”. Broadside3, April 7, 1847 par. 4

“SHADOW SABBATHS” “SABBATHS BESIDE THE SABBATHS OF THE LORD”

“And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my Sabbaths ye shall keep.' Some, who have been anxious to make of none effect the law of God, have quoted this word "Sabbaths," interpreting it to mean the annual Sabbaths of the Jews. ”-- RH, August 30, 1898 par. 9 EGW

“Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink,or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the Sabbath [days]: Which are a shadow of things to come;” Colossians 2:16, 17

“One day as Elder Corliss stepped out of a train, the guard [conductor] stopped him with the request that he explain Colossians 2:16. They stopped, and as the crowd rushed by, the explanation was given, and from Leviticus 23:37, 38 it was shown that there were sabbaths besides the Sabbath of the Lord.” RH, January 7, 1896 par. 14

“Beside the Sabbaths of the LORD, and beside your gifts, and beside all your vows, and beside all your freewill offerings, which ye give unto the LORD. Also in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have gathered in the fruit of the land, ye shall keep a feast unto the LORD seven days: on the first day [shall be] a Sabbath, and on the eighth day [shall be] a Sabbath. Leviticus 23:37, 39


“...these mystic symbols and shadowy types pointing to a Saviour to come,” TMK 101.3

“THE THIRD DAY”

“The Passover was followed by the seven days' feast of unleavened bread. On the second day of the feast, the first fruits of the year's harvest, a sheaf of barley, was presented before the Lord. All the ceremonies of the feast were types of the work of Christ.” DA 77

“The Passover was followed by the seven day's feast of unleavened bread. The first and the seventh day were days of holy convocation, when no servile work was to be performed. On the second day of the feast, the first fruits of the year's harvest were presented before God. Barley was the earliest grain in Palestine, and at the opening of the feast it was beginning to ripen. A sheaf of this grain was waved by the priest before the altar of God, as an acknowledgment that all was His. Not until this ceremony had been performed was the harvest to be gathered.” PP 539.4

“And on the fifteenth day of the same month [is] the feast of unleavened bread unto the LORD: seven days ye must eat unleavened bread.” Leviticus 23:6

“And he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it.” Leviticus 23:11

“These types were fulfilled, not only as to the event, but as to the time. On the fourteenth day of the first Jewish month, the very day and month on which, for fifteen long centuries, the passover lamb had been slain, Christ, having eaten the passover with his disciples, instituted that feast which was to commemorate his own death as “the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. That same night he was taken by wicked hands, to be crucified and slain. And as the antitype of the wave-sheaf, our Lord was raised from the dead on the third day, “the first-fruits of them that slept,” [1 Corinthians 15:20.]. . .” GC 399

“And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the Sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven Sabbaths shall be complete: Even unto the morrow after the seventh Sabbath shall ye number fifty days;” Leviticus 23:15,16. KJV

“Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first [day] of the month, shall ye have a Sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets” Leviticus 23:24.

“Also on the tenth [day] of this seventh month [there shall be] a day of atonement: . . . It [shall be] unto you a Sabbath of rest, and ye shall afflict your souls: in the ninth [day] of the month at even, from even unto even, shall ye celebrate your Sabbath.” Leviticus 23:27-32. KJV

“ Also in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have gathered in the fruit of the land, ye shall keep a feast unto the LORD seven days: on the first day [shall be] a Sabbath, and on the eighth day [shall be] a Sabbath. Leviticus 23:39 KJV

“SABBATHS OF YEARS”

“At the end of [every] seven years thou shalt make a release.… it is called the LORD'S release.” Deuteronomy 15:1-2

“When ye come into the land which I give you, then shall the land keep a Sabbath unto the LORD.” Leviticus 25:2

“And thou shalt number seven Sabbaths of years unto thee, seven times seven years; and the space of the seven Sabbaths of years shall be unto thee forty and nine years.” Leviticus 25:8


“SOLEMNITY OF THE YEAR OF RELEASE"

“And the LORD spake unto Moses in mount Sinai, saying,. . . . But in the seventh year shall be a Sabbath of rest unto the land, a Sabbath for the LORD:” Leviticus 25:1-4. KJV

“And Moses commanded them, saying, At the end of [every] seven years, in the solemnity of the year of release, in the feast of tabernacles,
When all Israel is come to appear before the LORD thy God in the place which he shall choose, thou shalt read this law before all Israel in their hearing.
Gather the people together, men, and women, and children, and thy stranger that [is] within thy gates, that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear the LORD your God, and observe to do all the words of this law.
And [that] their children, which have not known [any thing], may hear, and learn to fear the LORD your God, ” Deuteronomy 31:10-13 KJV

“JUBILE YEAR”

“Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the jubilee to sound on the tenth [day] of the seventh month, in the day of atonement shall ye make the trumpet sound throughout all your land. And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout [all] the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubilee unto you;” Leviticus 25:9-10 KJV


“THESE TYPES WERE FULFILLED,NOT ONLY
AS TO THE EVENT, BUT AS TO THE TIME...IN LIKE MANNER...”

“As you give heed to the light you have, greater light will come.” From the Mount of Blessing, pp. 147-150). LHU 195.5

 

[Martinman]

“There were symbols and shadowy types pointing to a Saviour to come; ... The sacrificial system was designed to typify the Saviour, who was to become the perfect offering for sinful man.” ST, June 3, 1886 par. 1

“...the shadowy services of the former dispensation were no longer of any value,--when type had met antitype in the death of Christ,...” RH, September 14, 1886 par. 14

“These types were fulfilled, not only as to the event, but as to the time. On the fourteenth day of the first Jewish month, the very day and month on which, for fifteen long centuries, the passover lamb had been slain, Christ, having eaten the passover with his disciples, instituted that feast which was to commemorate his own death as “the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. That same night he was taken by wicked hands, to be crucified and slain. And as the antitype of the wave-sheaf, our Lord was raised from the dead on the third day, “the first-fruits of them that slept,” [1 Corinthians 15:20.]. . .
In like manner, the types which relate to the second advent must be fulfilled at the time pointed out in the symbolic service. Under the Mosaic system, the cleansing of the sanctuary, or the great day of atonement, occurred on the tenth day of the seventh Jewish month, [Leviticus 16:29-34.]. . .” GC88 399, PP539.4 RH, November 22, 1892 par. 7

"The time of test is just upon us, for the loud cry of the third angel has already begun in the revelation of the righteousness of Christ, the sin-pardoning Redeemer. This is the beginning of the light of the angel whose glory shall fill the whole earth. For it is the work of every one to whom the message of warning has come, to lift up Jesus, to present Him to the world as revealed in types, as shadowed in symbols, as manifested in the revelations of the prophets, as unveiled in the lessons given to His disciples and in the wonderful miracles wrought for the sons of men. Search the Scriptures; for they are they that testify of Him." 1SM 362.4

“These truths, as presented in Revelation 14, in connection with the “everlasting gospel,” will distinguish the church of Christ at the time of his appearing. For as the result of the threefold message it is announced, “Here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.” And this message is the last to be given before the coming of the Lord. Immediately following its proclamation, the Son of man is seen by the prophet, coming in glory to reap the harvest of the earth.” GC88 453, 454.

“The people of God everywhere are to be aroused to co-operate in the great, grand work represented by the first, second, and third angel's messages. This last warning to the inhabitants of the earth is to make men see the importance God attaches to his holy law. So plainly is the truth to be presented, that no transgressor, hearing it, shall fail to discern the importance of obedience to the Sabbath commandment.” RH, March 26, 1908

“The first, second, and third angels' messages are to be repeated. The call is to be given to the church: "Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird." RH, October 31, 1899 par. 11

“My mind was carried to the future, when the signal will be given. "Behold, the Bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him." But some will have delayed to obtain the oil for replenishing their lamps, and too late they will find that character, which is represented by the oil, is not transferable. RH, February 11, 1896

“There is to be in the [Seventh-day Adventist] churches a wonderful manifestation of the power of God, but it will not move upon those who have not humbled themselves before the Lord, and opened the door of the heart by confession and repentance. In the manifestation of that power which lightens the earth with the glory of God, they will see only something which in their blindness they think dangerous, something which will arouse their fears, and they will brace themselves to resist it. Because the Lord does not work according to their ideas and expectations they will oppose the work. "Why," they say, "should we not know the Spirit of God, when we have been in the work so many years?"--RH Extra, Dec. 23, 1890. LDE 209.3

“The third angel's message will not be comprehended, the light which will lighten the earth with its glory will be called a false light, by those who refuse to walk in its advancing glory.”--RH May 27, 1890. LDE 210.1

"And He [Christ] gave unto Moses, when He had made an end of communicating with him upon Mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written by the finger of God. Nothing written on those tables could be blotted out. The precious record of the law was placed in the ark of the testament and IS STILL THERE, safely hidden from the human family. But in GOD'S APPOINTED TIME He will bring forth these tables of stone to be a testimony to all the world against the disregard of His commandments and against the idolatrous worship of a counterfeit Sabbath" (MS 122, 1901). 1BC1109.

"The tables of stone are hidden by God TO BE PRODUCED IN THE GREAT JUDGMENT DAY just as He wrote them.” Review and Herald, March 26, 1908.

“God will not break His covenant, nor alter the thing that has gone out of His lips. His word will stand fast forever as unalterable as His throne. AT THE JUDGMENT this covenant will be BROUGHT FORTH, plainly written with the finger of God, and the world will be arraigned before the bar of Infinite Justice to receive sentence.” PK 187.1

“When the JUDGMENT SHALL SIT, and the BOOKS SHALL BE OPENED, and EVERY MAN shall be judged according to the things written in the books, then the tables of stone, hidden by God UNTIL THAT DAY, will be presented before the world as the standard of righteousness, Then men and women will see that the PREREQUISITE of their salvation is obedience to the perfect law of God, None will find excuse for sin. By the righteous principles of that law, men will receive their sentence of LIFE or of death.” The Advent Review and Sabbath Herald, January 28,1909.

“The judgment is now passing in the sanctuary above. For many years this work has been in progress. Soon—none know how soon—it will pass to the cases of the living. In the awful presence of God our lives are to come up in review. At this time above all others it behooves every soul to heed the Saviour's admonition: "Watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is." Mark 13:33. CCh 349.1

“But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as [do] others; but let us watch and be sober.” 1 Thessalonians 5: 4-6

“When the work of the investigative judgment closes, the destiny of all will have been decided for LIFE or DEATH. Probation is ended a short time before the appearing of the Lord in the clouds of heaven. Christ in the Revelation, looking forward to that time, declares: "He that is unjust, let him be unjust still:....." Revelation 22:11, 12. The righteous and the wicked will still be living upon the earth in their mortal state—men will be planting and building, eating and drinking, all unconscious that the final, irrevocable decision has been pronounced in the sanctuary above. Silently, unnoticed as the midnight thief, will come the decisive hour which marks the fixing of every man's destiny, the final withdrawal of mercy's offer to guilty men.” CCh 349

“And thou shalt number seven Sabbaths of years unto thee, seven times seven years; and the space of the seven Sabbaths of years shall be unto thee forty and nine years.
Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the jubilee to sound on the tenth [day] of the seventh month, in the day of atonement shall ye make the trumpet sound throughout all your land. And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout [all] the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubilee unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family. A jubilee shall that fiftieth year be unto you:” Leviticus 25:8-11. KJV

“And when the never-ending blessing was pronounced on those who had honored God in keeping His Sabbath holy, there was a mighty shout of victory over the beast and over his image.
Then commenced the jubilee, when the land should rest. I saw the pious slave rise in triumph and victory and shake off the chains that bound him, while his wicked master was in confusion and knew not what to do; for the wicked could not understand the words of the voice of God.” EW 34,35.

“All the ceremonies of the Jewish law were prophetic, typical of mysteries in the plan of redemption.” 6BC 1095.5

 

[Martinman]

You are welcome! May the Lord bless you in your study. The Sanctuary is the blueprint of the plan of salvation. It helps us to discern truth from error. The remnant of the bitter sweet experience all need to study be ready always to give an answer to every man that asks you a reason of the hope that is in you.

Amen to that. That is so true.

Correction: Josephus was a traitor to his own people who aided Titus in the destruction of Jerusalem. He pretended to take a straw vote to commit suicide with the others soldiers but trick them all and allowed the Roman to take him because he was a Roman citizen. Yes he was a Pharisee but he held on to false tradition that YAHSHUA was against. He also put the SAVIOUR down and his history has many errors I have all of his books. The Pharisee were the ones that falsely changed the Wave sheaf that was to be waved as YAHSHUA did counting seven Sabbath from the Sabbath after the one of the week of the Feast of Unleavened Bread. (There are no such things as ceremonial sabbaths). This would be forty nine days and the fiftieth day is always on a Sunday. They also along with the priest changed the truth of the passover to be a Feast Day it was not it was the supper to be eaten the night of the Feast of Unleavened Bread that begins the Feast.​

EGW used Josephus' history as her resource in her books that are proven errors due to reason digs. Josephus is not a renowned historian and he is not a good source of study or a point of reference unless used him to show error!​

Blessings also to our President and the victims in the reason storm,

I don't think most historians would agree with you.

 

[SDAx37]

Hi all!

First of all, Thank you OnTheDL, and everyone else, for contributing this study. It truly is a wonderful and enormous blessing!

I joined CF for the very purpose of this thread, so that I may learn about the Sanctuary Message and be able to teach it to my church, and others, like it's second nature.

I was just wondering if the study is still going, and looking for more possible resources of study.

 

[E.T.Elijah]

Another good book I have read recently is Operation Blueprint by Ivor Myers. He also has a set of study guides that just came out a few months ago.

 

[OntheDL]

Hi SDAx37,

Of course the study is still on-going. The sanctuary is God's way of dealing with the sin problem in the universe. It's the message of righteousness by faith that is taught throughout the bible. You can study the subject and post your comments, inputs and questions. I have many of our pioneers' books on the sanctuary in PDF I can email to you if you PM me your email address. I trust God will richly bless your study as you gain insights into the Word and grow closer to the Lord.

Hi E.T.Elijah,

The inspiration tells us there are many forms of deception on the subject of the sanctuary in the end. One form that is gaining popularity in our midst is to formulate the sanctuary layout as a cross as if the cross is the center of our message. This type of teaching is based on sensationalism and is absent of solid biblical basis.

The bible gives specific descriptions on the layout and the furniture of the sanctuary. Draw it out exactly as the bible tells you. I have some diagrams in the beginning of this thread. But do your own homework. You will see how the truth is so distinct from these last days new theories.

The sanctuary message tells us the cross is the beginning of our walk. Through justification in the court, sanctification in the holy place, the professed people of God will by faith enter into the Most Holy place for glorification.

The cross is a wonderful message. But it is not our message. Because it's the sowing message. The history of salvation has reached its climax. Our message is of the harvest time message.

Revelation 10 tells the people that came out of the bitter sweet disappointment to 'measure' the temple: to study the sanctuary message, because this is the message they are to prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings: Jesus' ministry in the Most Holy place.
