Upper Room Camp meeting Edition 2014 (www.molministry.com) We are living today in the most solemn and significant time of all of this worlds history. We are living in the time of the final generation– the time of the cleansing of the heavenly sanctuary– the finishing work. Concerning this time we read, “And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed .” Daniel 8:14. “In the typical system, which was a shadow of the sacrifice and priesthood of Christ, the cleansing of the sanctuary was the last service performed by the high priest in the yearly round of ministration . It was the closing work of the atonement --a removal or putting away of sin from Israel . It prefigured the closing work in the ministration of our High Priest in heaven, in the removal or blotting out of the sins of His people, which are registered in the heavenly records. This service involves a work of investigation, a work of judgment ; and it immediately precedes the coming of Christ in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory; for when He comes, every case has been decided. Says Jesus: ‘My reward is with Me, to give every man according as his work shall be.’Revelation 22:12. It is this work of judgment, immediately preceding the sec- ond advent, that is announced in the first angel's message of Revelation 14:7: ‘Fear God, and give glory to Him; for the hour of His judgment is come .’” {GC 352.2} The finishing work— which is the cleansing of the heavenly sanctuary is the great reason why we have health reform and a distinctive medical missionary work in this last movement of the remnant church. And it is the work of the heavenly sanctuary in connection with the 2300 day prophecy that brought the sanitarium into existence and without the revival of true home-like sanitariums the work will never be finished! Well, somebody may ask , “don't we have modern hospitals all over the world...why would we need the return of home -like sanitariums? Aren’t hospitals and sanitariums doing basically the same thing?” No, infinitely different. And don’t take my word for it, notice the following clear statement from the pen of inspiration: “The purpose of our health institutions is not first and foremost to be that of hospitals. The health institutions connected with the closing work of the gospel in the earth stand for the great principles of the gospel in all its fullness.” {MM 28.1} So, it is clear from the pen of inspiration that the purpose of a hospital and a sanitarium is very different. Question: What is the purpose of a sanitarium that makes it so vastly different from a hospital? Answer: The three-fold mes- sage of Revelation 14. The purpose of the Sanitarium is laid out in the three angels message of Revelation, the first of which says, “Fear God, and give glory to Him; for the hour of His judgment is come..” Rev. 14:7. “ The three angels of Revelation 14 are represented as flying in the midst of heaven, symbolizing the work of those who proclaim the first, second, and third angels' messages. All are linked together . The evidences of the abiding, everliving truth of these grand messages, that mean so much to the church, that have awakened such intense opposition from the religious world, are not extinct. Satan is constantly seeking to cast a shadow about these messages, so that the people of God shall not clearly discern their import, their time and place; but they live and are to exert their power upon our religious experience while time shall last. {6T 17.4} “The influence of these messages has been deepening and widening, setting in motion the springs of action in thousands of hearts, bringing into existence ...health institutions. All these are instrumentalities of God to co- operate in the grand work represented by the first, second, and third angels, the work of warning the inhabitants of the world that Christ is coming the second time with power and great glory. “ {6T 18.1}

We are living today in the most solemn and significant time of all of this worlds history. We are living in the time of the final
generation– the time of the cleansing of the heavenly sanctuary– the finishing work. Concerning this time we read, “And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.” Daniel 8:14. “In the typical system, which was a shadow of the sacrifice and priesthood of Christ, the cleansing of the sanctuary was
the last service performed by the high priest in the yearly round of ministration. It was the closing work of the atonement
--a removal or putting away of sin from Israel. It prefigured the closing work in the ministration of our High Priest in
heaven, in the removal or blotting out of the sins of His people, which are registered in the heavenly records. This service
involves a work of investigation, a work of judgment; and it immediately precedes the coming of Christ in the clouds of
heaven with power and great glory; for when He comes, every case has been decided. Says Jesus: ‘My reward is with Me, to
give every man according as his work shall be.’Revelation 22:12. It is this work of judgment, immediately preceding the sec-
ond advent, that is announced in the first angel's message of Revelation 14:7: ‘Fear God, and give glory to Him; for the
hour of His judgment is come.’” {GC 352.2}
The finishing work— which is the cleansing of the heavenly sanctuary is the great reason why we have health reform and a
distinctive medical missionary work in this last movement of the remnant church. And it is the work of the heavenly sanctuary
in connection with the 2300 day prophecy that brought the sanitarium into existence and without the revival of true home-like
sanitariums the work will never be finished!
Well, somebody may ask , “don't we have modern hospitals all over the world...why would we need the return of home-like
sanitariums? Aren’t hospitals and sanitariums doing basically the same thing?” No, infinitely different. And don’t take my
word for it, notice the following clear statement from the pen of inspiration:
“The purpose of our health institutions is not first and foremost to be that of hospitals. The health institutions connected
with the closing work of the gospel in the earth stand for the great principles of the gospel in all its fullness.” {MM 28.1}
So, it is clear from the pen of inspiration that the purpose of a hospital and a sanitarium is very different.
Question: What is the purpose of a sanitarium that makes it so vastly different from a hospital? Answer: The three-fold mes-
sage of Revelation 14. The purpose of the Sanitarium is laid out in the three angels message of Revelation, the first of which
says, “Fear God, and give glory to Him; for the hour of His judgment is come..” Rev. 14:7. “ The three angels of Revelation 14 are represented as flying in the midst of heaven, symbolizing the work of those who proclaim the first, second, and third angels' messages.

All these are instrumentalities of God to co-
operate in the grand work represented by the first, second, and third angels, the work of warning the inhabitants of the world
that Christ is coming the second time with power and great glory. “ {6T 18.1}

Yes, There is a close and decided connection between the three angels messages and the sanitarium work! Is it clear to you
dear reader? If not , then we don’t truly understand our message. Oh, that heaven may anoint our eyes with the heavenly eye
salve that we may see as Jesus see’s and Work just as Jesus worked. Notice the following inspired statements which will help
to make it abundantly clear:
“‘I will instruct the ignorant and anoint with heavenly eyesalve the eyes of many who are now in spiritual dark-
ness. I will raise up agents who will carry out My will to prepare a people to stand before Me in the time of
the end. In many places that before this ought to have been provided with sanitariums and schools, I will estab-
lish My institutions, and these institutions will become educational centers for the training of workers." {CH
227.1}
“Our sanitariums have been established for the purpose of pre-
paring a people for the second coming of our Lord and Saviour.
Letter 284, 1906, pp. 2, 3. (To Dr. O. G. Place, August 29, 1906.)
{1MR 228.4}
As we study the plan of redemption as brought to light from the
sanctuary in the Bible and the Spirit of Prophecy we can see
clearly with eyes anointed by the Spirit of God that the Sanitarium
was established by God for preparing a people to stand true to Him
during the time of the investigative judgment and the cleansing of
the sanctuary.
“‘God's purpose in giving the third angel's message to the world is to prepare a people to stand true to Him
during the investigative judgment. This is the purpose for which we establish and maintain our publishing
houses, our schools, our sanitariums, hygienic restaurants, treatment rooms, and food factories. This is our pur-
pose in carrying forward every line of work in the cause." {1MR 228.2}
Now, we can see by the above statement that God will use many agencies and institutions for preparing a people to
stand true to Him when Judgment passes from the dead to the living at the passing of the Sunday law (please see our
recent DVD series “who shall be able to stand “ for thorough understanding of this issue from the Bible and Spirit
of Prophecy) ; but of all His agencies and institutions which will be the most important? I think this is a very
good question and deserves an inspired answer but first let me tell you plainly so that we are clear and then
we will read it in inspiration? It is our health institutions-our sanitariums! Let us turn to the spirit of prophecy to
check our answer:
“Christ is the one to be revealed in all the institutions connected with the closing work, but none of them can
do it so fully as the health institution where the sick and suffering come for relief and deliverance from both
physical and spiritual ailment. Many of these need, like the paralytic of old, the forgiveness of sin the first thing, and
they need to learn how to "go, and sin no more." ... “If a sanitarium connected with this closing message fails to
lift up Christ and the principles of the gospel as developed in the third angel's message, it fails in its most im-
portant feature, and contradicts the very object of its existence.--R.H., Oct. 29, 1914.” {MM 27.4, 28.1}
What we just read is tremendous. We found from inspiration that “All the institutions” of God are to do a mighty work
(schools, publishing houses, hygienic restaurants, food factories etc.) , “but none of them can do it so fully” as the sanitarium.
“We are to have clear spiritual discernment, else we shall fail of understanding the opening providences of God that are prepar-
ing the way for us to enlighten the world. The great crisis is just before us. Now is the time for us to sound the warning
message, by the agencies that God has given us for this purpose. Let us remember that one most important agency is our
medical missionary work. Never are we to lose sight of the great object for which our sanitariums are established-
