“And, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.” Daniel 7:13.... The coming of Christ here described is not His second coming to the earth. He comes to the Ancient of days in heaven to receive dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, which will be given Him at the close of His work as a mediator. It is this coming, and not His second advent to the earth, that was foretold in prophecy to take place at the termination of the 2300 days in 1844. Attended by heavenly angels, our great High Priest enters the holy of holies, and there appears in the presence of God ... to perform the work of investigative judgment, and to make an atonement for all who are shown to be entitled to its benefits. {FLB 209.4}

”Med himlens skyer kom en, der så ud som en menneskesøn; han kom hen til den gamle af dage og blev ført frem for ham.” Dan. 7,13 . . . Her beskrives Kristi komme som beskrives her er ikke Hans genkomst til jorden. Han kommer til den Gamle af dag i himlen for at få herredømme, og ære, og et rige, som vil gives ham ved slutningen af hans midlerarbejde. Det er denne ankomst, og ikke Hans genkomst til jorden, som forudsiges i profetien som vil finde sted i slutningen af de 2300 dage, i 1844. Ledsaget af himmelske engle, går vor store Ypperstepræst ind i det allerhelligste, viser sig der for Guds nærværelse . . . for at udføre det undersøgende domsarbejde, og gøre forsoning for alle som viser sig berettiget til dens hjælp.
