the Sanctuary

The Heavenly SanctuaryThe Picture of Salvation {168}

UNQUESTIONABLY, THE greatestrevelation of the love and characterof God was at the cross, where the

Lord offered Himself in the person ofJesus Christ as a sacrifice for the sins

of a world that never had to sin tobegin with.


5/27


To help us understand better whatthis great sacrifice meant, God

devised the earthly sanctuary, a

pictorial representation of the planof salvation.

This earthly sanctuary, however, onlymodeled the heavenly one, which isthe center of Gods presence and of

His activity in the universe.


6/27


As the key for a complete system oftruth, the sanctuary and Christs

priestly ministry bacame the basisfor the Seventh-day Adventist faith

and still remains so.

In fact, the sanctuary message is theAdventists unique doctrine.


7/27


No other doctrine of the AdventistChurch (with the possible exceptionof the Sabbath) has faced so many

challenges. Fortunately, thesechallenges have not only been

withstood, they have increased ourunderstanding of this crucialteaching and have made us stronger

in our understanding of salvation.

The Great Controversy488Our Goal {169}

THE SANCTUARY in heaven is the verycenter of Christs work in behalf of

men. It opens to view the plan of

redemption, bringing us down to thevery close of time and revealing thetriumphant issue of the contestbetween righteous and sin. It is of theutmost importance that all should

thoroughly investigate these subjects.

1 Kings 8:49 NKJV

[T]HEN HEAR in heaven Your

dwelling place their prayer andtheir supplication, and maintain

their cause.

The Heavenly SanctuaryInitial Words {171}

SCRIPTURE IS clear: the heavenlysanctuary is a real place, and from it

we can learn truths about the

character and work of our God.Thus, the focus of this weeks lesson

is the heavenly sanctuary and whatGod is doing there for us, becausewhat He is doing in the sanctuary is,

indeed, for us.

The Heavenly Sanctuary1. Gods Dwelling Room

1 Kings 8:30 NKJV AND MAY You hear the supplication

of Your servant and of Your peopleIsrael. When they pray toward this

place,

then hear in heaven Your dwelling

place, and when you hear, forgive.


15/27

1. Gods Dwelling RoomHis Residence {172}

GOD IS everywhere. He isomnipresent, which means that He

is present throughout the universe.

Complementing Gods attribute of

omnipresence is His eternal

existence. God has neither beginningnor end (Ps. 90:2). He has always

been and will always be (Jude 1:25).


16/27


God obviously dwells in heaven in aspecial way, in His glorious presence

and pure holiness.

The greatest manifestation of Godspresence exists in heaven.

He chooses to reveal Himself in aspecial way in heaven and, as we will

see, in the heavenly sanctuary.


17/27


We are limited in our understandingof His physical nature. He is spirit

(John 4:24) and, as such, cannot be

contained in any structure ordimension (1 Kings 8:27).

Even so, the Bible presents heaven(John 14:13) and the heavenly

sanctuary as real places (Heb. 8:2)

where God can be seen (Rev. 4:2, 3).

Psalm 103:19 NKJV

THE LORD has established Histhrone in heaven, and His kingdom

rules over all.

2. Gods Throne RoomGod as King {173}

THE BIBLE also reveals God assovereign. God is not only King of

heaven but also King of all the earth

(Ps. 47:7, NKJV), here and now (Ps.93:2).

That Gods throne is established in

heaven has several ramifications. Oneof them is that God is independent and

superior to the rest of the universe.

2 G d Th R

2. Gods Throne RoomGod as King {173}

Gods rule encompassesrighteousness and justice, as well aslove and truthfulness. These moral

qualities describe how He acts in thehuman world.

These qualities, which compose Hisrule, are also the same as those thatHe wants His people to manifest in

their lives (Mic. 6:8, Isa. 59:14).

2. Gods Throne RoomWorship in Heaven {174}

The vision of the heavenly throneroom is a vision of the heavenly

sanctuary.

Revelation 4 point back to the OldTestament worship service, which

centered on the earthly sanctuary.

The Heavenly Sanctuary3. Gods Court Room

Psalm 9:4-8 NKJVYOU SAT on the throne judging in

righteousness, You have rebuked thenations, You have destroyed the

wicked. But the Lordhas

prepared His throne for judgment,and He shall administer judgment

for the peoples in uprightness.

3 G d C t R


24/27

3. Gods Court RoomGod as Judge {175}

WHEN GODjudges, the throne roombecomes a courtroom and the

heavenly throne a judgment seat.

The One enthroned is the One whojudges (see Ps. 9:48), a concept

known in the ancient Near Eastwhere kings often functioned as

judges, as well.

3 G d C t R


25/27

3. Gods Court RoomGod as Judge {175}

The classic combination of throneroom and judgment appears in

Daniel 7:914. There, the judgment

consists of two strands: a verdict ofvindication for the saints and a

sentence of condemnation for Gods

enemies. God is just, and all ourquestions about justice will be

answered in Gods time, not ours.

3 G d C t R


26/27

3. Gods Court RoomPlace of Salvation {176}

The book of Hebrews teaches thatChrist is ministering in the heavenly

sanctuary as our High Priest.

His work there is focused on oursalvation, for He appears in the

presence of God for us (Heb. 9:24,

NASB), giving us assurance that wewill receive mercy and grace because

of what He has done for us.
