One of the 28 Fundamental Beliefs of the 00:00:06.64\00:00:08.83 Seventh Day Adventist Church is Christ's ministry 00:00:08.86\00:00:11.12 in the Heavenly Sanctuary. 00:00:11.16\00:00:12.19 There is a sanctuary in Heaven, the true tabernacle 00:00:12.35\00:00:15.37 which the Lord set up and it's not manned. 00:00:15.40\00:00:17.87 In it Christ ministers on our behalf, making available 00:00:17.90\00:00:21.67 to believers the benefits of atoning sacrifice 00:00:21.70\00:00:24.56 offered once for us on the cross. 00:00:24.59\00:00:27.99 He was inaugurated as our great High Priest 00:00:28.02\00:00:30.91 and began His intercessory ministry at the time of 00:00:30.95\00:00:34.11 His ascension. 00:00:34.14\00:00:35.17 In 1844 at the end of the Prophetic Period of the 00:00:35.20\00:00:38.69 twenty three hundred days, He entered the second 00:00:38.73\00:00:42.27 and last phase of His atoning ministry. 00:00:42.30\00:00:44.52 It is a work of Investigative Judgment 00:00:44.55\00:00:47.28 which is part of the ultimate disposition of all sin, 00:00:47.31\00:00:50.54 templified by the cleansing of the ancient Hebrew sanctuary 00:00:50.57\00:00:53.62 on the Day of Atonement. 00:00:53.65\00:00:55.04 In that typical service the sanctuary was cleansed with 00:00:55.07\00:00:58.19 blood of animal sacrifices, but the heavenly things are 00:00:58.22\00:01:01.92 purified with the perfect sacrifice of the blood of Jesus. 00:01:01.95\00:01:05.21 This vindicates God and saving those who believe in Jesus 00:01:05.24\00:01:09.82 and remain loyal to God. 00:01:09.85\00:01:12.20 God bless you on this wonderful day. 00:01:12.23\00:01:14.45
