With Jesus in His Sanctuary
Topics swirling around the Sanctuary are being vigorously discussed in every quarter of the Seventh-day Adventist Church today. Questions like the following are being debated: Is there a Sanctuary in Heaven? Does it contain two or only one chamber? When did Jesus enter upon His ministry in the Most Holy Place? How can sins committed on earth defile the Heavenly Sanctuary? Since we have Jesus as our Saviour, why should we study the Mosaic Sanctuary, anyway? Is there really an investigative judgement? In this book, Dr. Hardinge suggests compelling answers and provides detailed evidence to support them.
The author is convinced that what is lacking in many discussions is an understanding of the details of the Old Testament Tabernacle. Because it is the most pervasive, as well as the most important illustration of the plan of salvation found in Scripture, more space has been devoted to it by the Spirit than to any other topic. In fact, allusions to the Sanctuary are found in most of the books of the Bible.
With Jesus in His Sanctuary deals extensively and in-depth with hundreds of these important particulars. The author contends that a grasp of its organizations and layout, its structure and furnishings, its priesthood and ministry, its offerings and festivals, and especially the extensive calendar of redemption it provides, will throw light upon these uncertainties.
With Jesus in His Sanctuary is not only a book of theological facts and biblical exegesis, it is also an explanation of how our Saviour fulfills every salvific particular of the Mosaic Tabernacle.
