The earthly sanctuary was built ... according to the pattern shown ... in the mount. It was “a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices”; its two holy places were “patterns of things in the heavens”; Christ, our great high priest, is “a minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man.” Hebrews 9:9, 23; 8:2. {FLB 198.5}

Den jordiske helligdom blev bygget . . . efter det anviste mønster. . . på bjerget. ”Dette er et billede på den nuværende tid: Der frembæres gaver og ofre”; dets to hellige afdelinger var ”mønster for ting i det himmelske”; Kristus, vor store ypperstepræst, ”og gør tjeneste ved helligdommen, det sande Åbenbaringstelt, som Herren selv og ikke noget menneske har rejst.” Hebr. 9,9; 23; 8,2.
