Eyes Fixed on Sanctuary—As a people, we should be earnest students of prophecy; we should not rest until we become intelligent in regard to the subject of the sanctuary, which is brought out in the visions of Daniel and John. This subject sheds great light on our present position and work, and gives us unmistakable proof that God has led us in our past experience. It explains our disappointment in 1844, showing us that the sanctuary to be cleansed was not the earth, as we had supposed, but that Christ then entered into the most holy apartment of the heavenly sanctuary, and is there performing the closing work of His priestly office, in fulfillment of the words of the angel to the prophet Daniel, “Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.” {Ev 222.3}

Øjnene fæstnet på helligdommen. - Som et folk burde vi ivrigt granske profetien; vi burde ikke slå os til ro, før vi har forstået emnet (223) om helligdommen, som er fremstillet i Daniels og Johannes syner. Dette emne kaster et klart lys over vor stilling og vort arbejde nu, og giver os et tydeligt bevis på, at Gud har ledet os i vor hidtidige erfaring. Det forklarer vor skuffelse i 1844, der viste os at helligdommens renselse ikke var på jorden, som vi troede, men at Kristus da gik ind i den allerhelligeste afdeling i den himmelske helligdom, og udfører der, det afsluttende arbejde for Hans præstetjeneste, som opfyldelse af englens ord til profeten Daniel: "Om to tusinde og tre hundrede dage; så skal helligdommen komme til sin ret."
