Welcome to the Sanctuary,
Salvation and our Savior.
00:00:25.99\00:00:30.43
My name is David Shin
00:00:30.49\00:00:31.83
and I'm so glad that you've
been on this journey with us
00:00:31.86\00:00:34.93
and we've come to our
last episode in this Series
00:00:34.96\00:00:38.97
on the Sanctuary
00:00:39.00\00:00:40.34
where we've been
looking at the plan of salvation
00:00:40.37\00:00:43.14
through the lens
of the Sanctuary,
00:00:43.17\00:00:45.64
understanding our own
Christian experience...
00:00:45.67\00:00:48.54
how God brings us
into the Courtyard...
00:00:48.58\00:00:50.71
into the Holy Place
00:00:50.75\00:00:52.41
and into the Most Holy Place.
00:00:52.45\00:00:54.65
We've been also using
the Sanctuary as the lens...
00:00:54.68\00:00:57.55
as the hermeneutical key
00:00:57.59\00:00:59.25
for understanding the work
and ministry of Jesus Christ,
00:00:59.32\00:01:02.36
past, present and future,
00:01:02.39\00:01:05.03
and today, I want to
cite a few quotations
00:01:05.09\00:01:09.03
from one of my favorite books.
00:01:09.06\00:01:10.90
It's entitled,
"The Great Controversy"
00:01:10.93\00:01:13.60
about the
significance of the work
00:01:13.64\00:01:16.67
and ministry of
Jesus Christ in heaven
00:01:16.71\00:01:19.64
in the last compartment
of the heavenly sanctuary.
00:01:19.67\00:01:22.54
Here it is, from the
book, "The Great Controversy"
00:01:22.58\00:01:25.31
page 423,
00:01:25.35\00:01:27.35
"The subject of the
sanctuary was the key
00:01:27.42\00:01:30.92
which unlocked the mystery
00:01:30.95\00:01:32.85
of the disappointment of 1844.
00:01:32.89\00:01:34.82
It opened to view a
complete system of truth,
00:01:34.86\00:01:38.56
connected... harmonious,
00:01:38.59\00:01:39.93
showing that
God's hand had directed
00:01:39.96\00:01:41.96
the great Adventist movement
and revealing present duty
00:01:42.00\00:01:45.40
as it brought to light
00:01:45.43\00:01:46.77
the position and
work of His people. "
00:01:46.80\00:01:49.47
In 1844, there was a
great Millerite Movement
00:01:49.50\00:01:53.24
where individuals...
God-fearing individuals
00:01:53.27\00:01:56.98
gathered together
on October 22, 1844,
00:01:57.01\00:02:00.98
believing that
Jesus was going to come.
00:02:01.02\00:02:04.95
This came as the result of the
study of Daniel and Revelation
00:02:04.99\00:02:08.89
specifically,
Daniel chapter 8 verse 14
00:02:08.92\00:02:12.09
where it says, "Unto 2,300 days,
00:02:12.13\00:02:14.00
then shall the
sanctuary be cleansed
00:02:14.03\00:02:16.16
and the
misunderstanding came about
00:02:16.20\00:02:18.33
because people assumed
00:02:18.37\00:02:19.83
that when Jesus was
going to cleanse the sanctuary,
00:02:19.87\00:02:22.74
that the sanctuary was the earth
00:02:22.80\00:02:24.61
and what other time was
Jesus going to cleanse the earth
00:02:24.64\00:02:28.38
than at the Second Coming?
00:02:28.41\00:02:30.48
So in prophetic timeline,
00:02:30.55\00:02:32.55
these
individuals... the Millerites...
00:02:32.58\00:02:35.52
got the date right but
they got the event wrong.
00:02:35.55\00:02:40.22
Let me say that again,
"They got the date right
00:02:40.26\00:02:44.86
but the event wrong. "
00:02:44.89\00:02:47.13
The event was wrong
because the Bible does not say
00:02:47.16\00:02:51.30
that the earth is the sanctuary,
00:02:51.33\00:02:54.70
rather, there is
an earthly sanctuary
00:02:54.74\00:02:58.71
as in the time of Moses,
00:02:58.74\00:03:00.08
but after the time of Christ,
according to Hebrews chapter 8,
00:03:00.11\00:03:02.68
things shifted to
the heavenly sanctuary
00:03:02.71\00:03:05.68
and in Great Controversy,
this penetrating analysis
00:03:05.71\00:03:10.12
of what unlocked the mystery
00:03:10.15\00:03:12.85
or of the great
disappointment of 1844,
00:03:12.89\00:03:16.26
it was the study
of the sanctuary...
00:03:16.29\00:03:19.59
the study of the
sanctuary opened to view
00:03:19.63\00:03:23.16
a complete system of truth.
00:03:23.20\00:03:26.50
In other words, the sanctuary
was more than just a doctrine.
00:03:26.53\00:03:30.94
The sanctuary was
a hermeneutical key
00:03:30.97\00:03:33.68
which is an interpretive lens
00:03:33.71\00:03:35.81
for understanding the
work and the ministry of Christ
00:03:35.84\00:03:38.78
and when the Bible
say, "Unto 2,300 days,
00:03:38.81\00:03:41.22
then shall the
sanctuary be cleansed... "
00:03:41.28\00:03:43.62
was not referring to
the cleansing of the earth
00:03:43.65\00:03:46.69
at the Second Coming of Jesus,
00:03:46.72\00:03:49.32
but rather, it was referring
00:03:49.36\00:03:51.89
to the work and
ministry of Jesus Christ
00:03:51.93\00:03:55.36
in the cleansing of
the heavenly sanctuary.
00:03:55.40\00:03:59.20
We move on in our
Great Controversy quotations,
00:03:59.23\00:04:02.97
page 489,
00:04:03.00\00:04:04.67
"The sanctuary in
heaven is the very center
00:04:04.71\00:04:09.24
of Christ's work
in behalf of men. "
00:04:09.28\00:04:12.81
Now, some people have said,
00:04:12.85\00:04:14.72
"Look, we don't need
the sanctuary anymore
00:04:14.78\00:04:16.69
because Jesus
came to this earth. "
00:04:16.72\00:04:18.45
But in reality, the
sanctuary is the center
00:04:18.49\00:04:23.06
of Christ's work as
our High Priest in heaven.
00:04:23.09\00:04:27.66
In order to understand
what Jesus has been doing
00:04:27.70\00:04:32.13
after the cross,
00:04:32.17\00:04:34.24
we must use the reference
point of the sanctuary.
00:04:34.27\00:04:38.31
It's like a map.
00:04:38.37\00:04:39.71
It tells us what
Jesus has done at the cross
00:04:39.74\00:04:42.74
as the Lamb of God that takes
away the sins of the world...
00:04:42.78\00:04:44.85
what Jesus has been
doing as our High Priest...
00:04:44.88\00:04:48.62
and in 1844, according to
Daniel chapter 8 verse 14,
00:04:48.65\00:04:50.15
Jesus transitioned into
His last phase of ministry
00:04:50.19\00:04:56.93
in behalf of men.
00:04:56.96\00:04:58.36
The Great Controversy, page 409,
00:04:58.39\00:05:00.40
"The Scripture
which above all others
00:05:00.43\00:05:03.33
had both been the foundation
00:05:03.37\00:05:05.30
and the central
pillar of the Advent faith
00:05:05.33\00:05:08.17
was the declaration:
00:05:08.20\00:05:09.54
'Unto two thousand
three hundred days,
00:05:09.57\00:05:12.37
then shall the
sanctuary be cleansed. '"
00:05:12.41\00:05:14.94
Think about the
implications of this.
00:05:14.98\00:05:17.45
If you have a structure
that is held up by pillars
00:05:17.51\00:05:21.95
and you take away
the central pillar...
00:05:21.98\00:05:25.45
by implication, the
pillar that is holding
00:05:25.49\00:05:28.96
the whole edifice together,
00:05:28.99\00:05:31.03
what happens to that structure?
00:05:31.06\00:05:32.89
The whole structure falls.
00:05:32.93\00:05:35.96
In other words, the
central to the Advent movement
00:05:36.00\00:05:40.07
and Seventh-day Adventism,
00:05:40.10\00:05:42.80
is this idea of the
cleansing of the sanctuary.
00:05:42.84\00:05:46.68
We'll be unpacking the...
the... the Biblical evidence
00:05:46.71\00:05:50.45
for the existence
of a heavenly sanctuary
00:05:50.48\00:05:52.71
and here's a bird's eye
view of Moses' sanctuary
00:05:52.75\00:05:55.05
that was received
from God on Mount Sinai...
00:05:55.08\00:05:56.99
remember Moses
went up to Mount Sinai
00:05:57.02\00:05:58.85
and when he came
down from the mountain,
00:05:58.89\00:06:01.69
he came down with two things,
00:06:01.72\00:06:03.83
he came down with the Law of God
00:06:03.86\00:06:05.89
which God had inscribed with His
own finger on tablets of stone,
00:06:05.96\00:06:09.46
and he also came
down with... in his mind
00:06:09.50\00:06:13.74
all of the descriptions
00:06:13.77\00:06:15.77
and all of the blueprints
for the making of the sanctuary
00:06:15.80\00:06:21.54
and also all of the
articles of furniture
00:06:21.58\00:06:24.98
that were found within it.
00:06:25.01\00:06:27.48
And here we have a blueprint
00:06:27.52\00:06:29.92
for understanding
the work of Jesus Christ.
00:06:29.95\00:06:32.72
Remember, Jesus
is the Lamb of God
00:06:32.75\00:06:34.72
who takes away the
sins of the world...
00:06:34.76\00:06:36.62
the Altar of Burnt
Offering represents the cross,
00:06:36.66\00:06:39.59
Jesus died on Calvary in A.D. 31
00:06:39.63\00:06:42.16
and then, there's another
person that is important...
00:06:42.20\00:06:46.77
another entity I should say,
00:06:46.80\00:06:48.80
that is important in
the sanctuary process
00:06:48.87\00:06:50.91
because when the sinner brings
the lamb into the sanctuary
00:06:50.94\00:06:55.41
and that lamb dies,
00:06:55.44\00:06:57.61
the sinner did not
take that blood himself
00:06:57.65\00:07:00.62
into the Holy Place,
00:07:00.65\00:07:02.58
the sinner was
dependent on the Priest
00:07:02.62\00:07:06.02
to take the blood
into the sanctuary
00:07:06.05\00:07:09.52
on his behalf.
00:07:09.56\00:07:10.99
In other words, the
priest was to apply the benefits
00:07:11.03\00:07:16.56
of the sacrifice on
behalf of the sinner.
00:07:16.63\00:07:20.80
The sinner did not
apply the benefits himself.
00:07:20.84\00:07:23.30
It was dependent on the priest
00:07:23.34\00:07:25.61
and the Bible tells us
that Jesus is our High Priest
00:07:25.64\00:07:28.24
in heaven.
00:07:28.28\00:07:29.74
In other words, Jesus is the One
00:07:29.78\00:07:32.05
that applies the
benefits of His sacrifice
00:07:32.08\00:07:35.18
on our behalf
as our High Priest.
00:07:35.25\00:07:39.22
So, Jesus is the Lamb
and Jesus is the High Priest.
00:07:39.25\00:07:44.76
Jesus typifies
the important entities
00:07:44.79\00:07:48.33
that make the
sanctuary service possible.
00:07:48.36\00:07:51.87
Here's another quote,
00:07:51.90\00:07:54.34
"The theme of the Bible,
00:07:54.37\00:07:56.74
the theme about
which every other
00:07:56.77\00:07:59.07
in the whole Bible clusters,
00:07:59.11\00:08:01.24
is the redemption plan...
00:08:01.28\00:08:03.35
the restoration of the
human soul of the image of God.
00:08:03.38\00:08:07.12
From the first
intimation in the hope
00:08:07.15\00:08:09.02
in the sentence
pronounced in Eden
00:08:09.05\00:08:10.89
to that last glorious
promise of Revelation,
00:08:10.92\00:08:13.66
"They shall see His face;
00:08:13.69\00:08:15.89
and His name shall
be on their foreheads. "
00:08:15.92\00:08:19.19
The subject of the sanctuary...
00:08:19.23\00:08:21.26
the model of the
sanctuary is really a picture
00:08:21.30\00:08:24.17
of this restorative process...
00:08:24.20\00:08:26.23
how God will bring
us all the way back.
00:08:26.27\00:08:29.07
Notice the
operative word in this quote.
00:08:29.10\00:08:31.91
"Restoration"
00:08:31.94\00:08:33.44
Eden lost... Eden restored.
00:08:33.48\00:08:36.38
God wants to bring us into that
Most-Holy-Place experience...
00:08:36.41\00:08:39.75
face-to-face
communion with God...
00:08:39.78\00:08:41.18
"They shall see His face
00:08:41.22\00:08:42.55
and His name shall
be on their foreheads. "
00:08:42.58\00:08:43.92
God brings us
into the Holy Place...
00:08:43.95\00:08:45.62
God brings us into
the Most Holy Place...
00:08:45.65\00:08:48.32
to that
face-to-face encounter with God
00:08:48.36\00:08:50.93
and the subject of the
sanctuary is restoration
00:08:50.99\00:08:54.63
and this restoration
process is made possible
00:08:54.66\00:08:58.27
because of two key entities...
the lamb... and the priest.
00:08:58.30\00:09:03.71
The lamb and the priest
make restoration possible
00:09:03.74\00:09:08.41
in the sanctuary.
00:09:08.44\00:09:09.78
The lamb
represents Jesus Christ.
00:09:09.81\00:09:11.91
The priest
represents Jesus Christ as well.
00:09:11.95\00:09:16.32
The burden of every book
and every passage of the Bible
00:09:16.35\00:09:20.09
is the unfolding of
this wondrous theme...
00:09:20.12\00:09:22.52
man's uplifting...
00:09:22.59\00:09:24.39
the power of God
'which giveth us the victory
00:09:24.43\00:09:27.06
through our Lord
Jesus Christ... '"
00:09:27.10\00:09:29.36
in the book "Education. "
00:09:29.40\00:09:30.93
The Bible tells us,
00:09:30.97\00:09:32.43
"Your way, O God,
is in the sanctuary. "
00:09:32.47\00:09:36.07
In other words, the sanctuary
is more than just a doctrine,
00:09:36.10\00:09:41.28
The sanctuary is to be our
hermeneutical reference point.
00:09:41.31\00:09:46.41
Now I have eye glasses
00:09:46.48\00:09:48.05
and the sanctuary, in a
way, is like eye glasses.
00:09:48.08\00:09:52.72
It's a framework...
00:09:52.75\00:09:54.09
it's a map that
helps us to understand
00:09:54.12\00:09:56.39
what Jesus has done...
00:09:56.42\00:09:57.76
is doing...
00:09:57.79\00:09:59.23
and will do.
00:09:59.26\00:10:00.63
"Your way, O God,
is in the sanctuary. "
00:10:00.66\00:10:04.33
In Daniel chapter
8:14, the Bible tells us,
00:10:04.37\00:10:07.94
"Unto 2,300 days, then shall
the sanctuary be cleansed. "
00:10:07.97\00:10:13.78
Now, when Daniel
wrote this, he understood
00:10:13.81\00:10:19.01
that this was prophetic time
00:10:19.05\00:10:21.85
and when you follow the
prophetic lineage out...
00:10:21.88\00:10:24.95
this is not talking
about the earthly sanctuary,
00:10:24.99\00:10:28.29
because the earthly
sanctuary is no longer relevant
00:10:28.32\00:10:31.59
after Jesus died on the cross,
00:10:31.63\00:10:33.66
Jesus transitioned to
the heavenly sanctuary,
00:10:33.70\00:10:36.26
and in Daniel chapter 8:14,
00:10:36.30\00:10:38.43
when you follow the
prophetic time marker,
00:10:38.47\00:10:40.60
when it talks
about the 2,300 days
00:10:40.64\00:10:42.47
and the
sanctuary being cleansed,
00:10:42.50\00:10:44.27
this is not
referring to the cleansing
00:10:44.31\00:10:46.27
of the earthly sanctuary,
00:10:46.34\00:10:48.18
rather, this is
referring to the cleansing
00:10:48.21\00:10:50.41
of the heavenly sanctuary.
00:10:50.45\00:10:51.98
Now, here's the question,
00:10:52.01\00:10:53.52
I thought that
heaven was a pure place.
00:10:53.55\00:10:58.15
What in heaven
would need to be cleansed?
00:10:58.19\00:11:02.72
I mean, this is a
question that people have asked,
00:11:02.79\00:11:04.99
I mean, how is
it possible that...
00:11:05.03\00:11:06.90
that there's anything in
heaven especially a sanctuary
00:11:06.93\00:11:10.13
that would be defiled
00:11:10.17\00:11:11.87
and would be in
need of cleansing?
00:11:11.90\00:11:14.27
Now, the way that we understand
00:11:14.30\00:11:16.60
why something as the
sanctuary needs to be cleansed
00:11:16.67\00:11:20.31
is to follow the progression
of the sanctuary service
00:11:20.38\00:11:23.98
specifically, the daily service.
00:11:24.01\00:11:27.05
Now, in the daily service,
00:11:27.08\00:11:29.32
there was something
peculiar that happened
00:11:29.35\00:11:31.49
every time a lamb was slain
00:11:31.52\00:11:33.59
and we find it in
Leviticus chapter 4 verse 32,
00:11:33.62\00:11:36.69
"If he brings a
lamb as a sin offering,
00:11:36.73\00:11:38.56
then he shall lay his hand
on the head of the sin offering,
00:11:38.59\00:11:41.30
and shall kill
it as a sin offering
00:11:41.36\00:11:43.16
at the place where they
kill the burnt offering.
00:11:43.20\00:11:45.07
And the priest shall
take some of the blood
00:11:45.13\00:11:46.97
of the sin
offering with his finger,
00:11:47.00\00:11:48.34
and put it on the horns of
the altar of the burnt offering,
00:11:48.37\00:11:51.21
and pour all the remaining blood
at the base of the altar. "
00:11:51.24\00:11:54.18
Here's what took place,
00:11:54.21\00:11:55.71
In the sanctuary service,
00:11:55.74\00:11:57.25
the sinner would bring
the lamb into the sanctuary
00:11:57.28\00:12:00.22
and with his own hand
00:12:00.25\00:12:01.88
he would slit that
animal's throat from ear to ear.
00:12:01.92\00:12:06.45
The priest would be
there to catch the blood
00:12:06.52\00:12:09.86
and then the priest
would take that blood
00:12:09.89\00:12:13.23
into the sanctuary
00:12:13.26\00:12:15.30
and he would do
one of two things...
00:12:15.33\00:12:17.20
he would either take that blood
and sprinkle it on the veil
00:12:17.23\00:12:21.00
which was before the altar,
00:12:21.04\00:12:23.04
or he would place
his finger in that bowl
00:12:23.10\00:12:25.81
and place it on the
horns of the Altar of Incense.
00:12:25.84\00:12:29.01
There was another place
that, according to this verse
00:12:29.04\00:12:32.21
that he would put
that... that imprint of blood on
00:12:32.25\00:12:35.38
was in the outer court
00:12:35.42\00:12:37.02
on the horns of
the burnt offering.
00:12:37.09\00:12:39.45
So, follow me now,
00:12:39.49\00:12:41.39
the... the... the
sin of that person
00:12:41.42\00:12:44.33
was being transferred from
the person... to the animal
00:12:44.36\00:12:49.26
to the blood... to the sanctuary
00:12:49.30\00:12:53.13
and this was a part of what
we call "the daily service. "
00:12:53.17\00:12:58.31
In other words, this took
place in the annual calendar
00:12:58.34\00:13:03.45
every single day
of the Jewish year.
00:13:03.48\00:13:06.92
So, follow me, every day,
00:13:06.95\00:13:09.92
as the people
brought their sacrifices in,
00:13:09.98\00:13:13.12
the sanctuary was
becoming "Polluted"
00:13:13.15\00:13:17.49
with the record of
forgiven sins of Israel
00:13:17.53\00:13:22.03
and as this
accumulated over the year,
00:13:22.06\00:13:25.23
once a year, on
the Day of Atonement,
00:13:25.30\00:13:28.40
there was a cleansing of
the sanctuary... Yom Kippur
00:13:28.44\00:13:34.01
in which the
sanctuary and the record of sins
00:13:34.04\00:13:37.38
were removed.
00:13:37.45\00:13:39.28
Now, we're going to
be taking a short break,
00:13:39.31\00:13:41.98
but stay with us as
we continue in our study
00:13:42.02\00:13:44.62
of the Day of Atonement
00:13:44.65\00:13:46.09
and the cleansing
of the sanctuary...
00:13:46.12\00:13:48.02
how we see that Jesus
is in heaven on our behalf
00:13:48.06\00:13:51.16
cleansing the
heavenly sanctuary.
00:13:51.19\00:13:54.00
We'll be right back...
00:13:54.03\00:13:55.36
stay with us as we
continue in our study.
00:13:55.40\00:13:57.53
