“THE DAILY AND THE ATONEMENT”
January 3, 2003
In every age there is a new development of truth, a message of Elohim to the people of that generation. The old truths are all essential; new truth is not independent of the old, but an unfolding of it. It is only as the old truths are understood that we can comprehend the new.–Christ’s Object Lessons, p. 129.”
For every prophetic type there has to be an antitype. Isa. 8: 20 “ To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.”
Daniel 8: 13, 26 “Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain saint which spake, How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot? And the vision of the evening and the morning which was told is true: wherefore shut thou up the vision; for it shall be for many days.”
This vision of the prophet Daniel about the Daily taken out of the way and the host being trodden under foot tells us that somewhere in time someone is going to accomplish this for a period of time. Since it says for many days, means it is only to be for a period of time before it is to be restored. It says, “For it shall be for many days” meaning there is a set time for its restoration. “At the time of the end” it is restored along with all the sacred institutions. Now that we are in the time of the end, then it is time for every Heavenly institution to be restored for the perfecting and saving of the saints. Observance of the daily is our preparation for judgment on the Day of the Atonement. Once a year the people of Israel came up to the Day of Atonement to see if their records were clean or if they were tainted with any un-forgiven sins. The Daily is a preparation for the observance of all the feasts of Lev 23.
Dan.11: 31 “And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate.”
Who are “they” that shall place the abomination that maketh desolate? Who has copied the True Sanctuary service of Yahshua and corrupted it? Answer: The Catholic Church, for they practice a daily worship called the “mass” which the people attend on a daily basis and on Sunday. When the priest administers the wafer to the people he tells them it literally becomes the body of “Christ” when they eat it, yet when you study the Scriptures, you find that is not what it teaches at all. Yes, the unleavened bread eaten at the Passover time is a symbol of Yahshua’s body, but it does not become his body when eaten.
Luke 22: 19 – 20 “And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, this is (represents) my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, this cup is the New Testament in my blood, which is shed for you.” (You is not us today, it spoke to the disciples).
Webster’s dictionary on the word “Testament”: Tes”ta*ment (?), n. [F., fr. L. testamentum, fr. testari to be a witness, to make one’s last will, akin to testis a witness.1. (Law) A solemn, authentic instrument in writing, by which a person declares his will as to disposal of his estate and effects after his death. & hand; This is otherwise called a will, and sometimes a last will and testament. A testament, to be valid, must be made by a person of sound mind; and it must be executed and published in due form of law. A man, in certain cases, may make a valid will by word of mouth only.
2. One of the two distinct revelations of God’s purposes toward man; a covenant; also, one of the two general divisions of the canonical books of the sacred Scriptures, in which the covenants are respectively revealed; as, the Old Testament; the New Testament; — often limited, in colloquial language, to the latter.
He is the mediator of the New Testament . . . for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament. Heb. ix. 15.
Yahshua took bread and after he had blessed it gave to His disciples telling them it represented his body. He did not say it turned into his body every time they would eat it. He also told them the wine (grape juice) represented the New Testament in his blood. This is a key point we want to understand. The New Testament in his blood is the New and Living Way. In the Old Testament time the animal sacrifice, with the slaying of the lamb, represented the future coming of Yahshua to bring an end of that system of worship and set up in its place the sprinkling of the fresh blood of Yahshua in the heavenly sanctuary on a daily basis for the sins of the people under the New Testament dispensation, of which we are a part of today.
Heb 10: 20-22 ” Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Yahshua, By a New And Living Way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; And having an High Priest over the house of Elohim; Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.” Notice the veil represents his flesh. At the instant of the death of Yahshua the veil of the temple rent in twain and the animal which the priest was about to sacrifice escaped.
For the “New And Living Way” means no more death of an animal when a sin is committed. For the sprinkling of the blood of Yahshua in the Heavenly Sanctuary now, transfers our sins from us on a Daily basis onto the horns of the altar in the heavenly sanctuary. Sins are first confessed and then the sprinkling of blood is performed to cover them.
Nowhere in the Scriptures does it say the blood is shed and sprinkled and then confession made. That is wrong and is not backed by the Law of Moses or Law of Yahshua. Just as the sins were confessed and blood sprinkled on the horns of the altar, so it is also done in the heavenly sanctuary. Moses was told to make the sanctuary according to the pattern shown him in the mount.
This proves that the saying that “Jesus died for my sins” is totally wrong and out of context with the Scriptures. You cannot find it anywhere. Dried blood does not blot out sins, only the moist blood of sprinkling does.
Lev. 17:11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.
On the Day of Atonement these sins are removed from the heavenly sanctuary and the sanctuary is cleansed as it was done in the type. We have the living Lamb (Yahshua) to sprinkle his fresh blood for us, we come in prayer with a contrite heart seeking forgiveness for sins committed and Yahshua then sprinkles the fresh blood from the nail prints in his hands. He does not have to die every time he sprinkles his blood. We are a most privileged people to understand this and follow it for our salvation.
Dan. 10: 10 – 11 “Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand. And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.
This study is to teach us the importance of our practice of the daily morning and evening worship times and how it connects to the Day of the Atonement. For these two have a very definite correlation, and with this system of worship we become purified of our sins in the Most Holy on the Day of Atonement in the Heavenly Sanctuary. First we will give the type and how it pointed forward to Yahshua; and the importance of our practicing it in the antitype- Judgment of the Living. Even our Savior Yahshua marked these times himself, not because he sinned, but for the forgiving of the sins of the people who believed in him. He died for the sins of many, not all.
Heb 9: [28] So Yahshua was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.
Psalm 77:13 “Thy way, O Elohim, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a Elohim as our Elohim.”
John 14: 6 “Yahshua saith unto him, I am the way, the Truth, and the Life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” According to the words of Yahshua, the only way for anyone to have eternal life is through the Sanctuary System and through his blood of the everlasting covenant. He plainly states that we cannot come to the Father direct. Yahshua is the mediator of the New Testament.
Mark 15: 25,33-34,37 “And it was the third hour, and they crucified him. And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the 9th hour.” And at the ninth hour Yahshua cried with a loud voice, saying… Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? That is to say, My Elohim, my Elohim, why hast thou forsaken me? And Yahshua cried with a loud voice, and gave up the spirit.”
Yahshua was crucified at the 3rd hour (9 am), the time of the morning sacrifice, and died at the 9th hour (3pm), the time of the evening offering according to the Law of Moses as recorded in the book of Exodus. Little did the ones who crucified him realize they were slaying the True Sacrificial Lamb, according to the Daily and the prophecy of this happening.
Let’s now go back and start at the beginning, at the “Garden of Eden, when sin made its entrance into the presence of man and woman. We will learn that there was a sanctuary already in place in heaven.
Gen. 2:15-17 “And the YAHWEH Elohim took the man, and put him into the Garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. And the YAHWEH Elohim commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.”
This was a direct command from Yahweh to keep Adam & Eve pure and holy. They could eat of any of the rest of the trees in the Garden, but were commanded to leave only one tree alone. Why is temptation so strong?
Satan sinned in Heaven and the Sanctuary System was put into operation for him and the fallen angels. Had this not been so, then Satan and the fallen angels would have died instantly without a chance of repentance. Instead the plan of redemption was set up before sin entered. In the end of all things, fire will be rained down upon Satan and his angels and they will die for the sins they caused the righteous to commit, but the wicked will die the second time for their own sins.
Remember it says in the Scriptures Yahweh created the world by Yahshua. People think this means that Yahshua created the world. No, it was by the fact that HE would offer his life and blood for the redemption of man should he fall. So by this plan of salvation through the blood of the everlasting covenant was the World created.
Genesis 3: 4-5 “And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For Elohim doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as deities, knowing good and evil.” Their Great Creator and Father didn’t want them to know evil. After all, He did create them perfect like Himself. Little did they realize that that one bite would cause the whole human race to suffer for thousands of years before the sin would finally be brought to an eternal end.
Genesis 3:21 “Unto Adam also and to his wife did the YAHWEH Elohim make coats of skins, and clothed them.”
Sin entered the Beautiful Garden of Eden, which was beginning of the killing of animals as a sacrifice for the sins of the first pair. Yahweh took the skins of the animals and made clothes for Adam and his wife. This is the record of the first animal sacrifice offered for sin.
Ex.29: 38-42 “Now this is that which thou shalt offer upon the altar; two lambs of the first year day-by-day continually. The one lamb thou shalt offer in the morning; and the other lamb thou shalt offer at even: And with the one lamb a tenth deal of flour mingled with the fourth part of an hin of beaten oil; and the fourth part of an hin of wine for a drink offering. And the other lamb thou shalt offer at even, and shalt do thereto according to the meat offering of the morning, and according to the drink offering thereof, for a sweet savour, an offering made by fire unto the YAHWEH.”
1888 Great Controversy pg 18:2 … “There daily the blood of slain lambs had been offered, pointing forward to the Lamb of Elohim.”
2SR 187:1-2 “In order to make a proper application of the seven seals, we must have a better understanding of the Heavenly Sanctuary service, its origin, and the object of its existence as taught by the earthly sanctuary built by Moses. (Heb. 8:5.)”
“In the sanctuary construction and service, is revealed the Plan of Salvation. The first apartment, called the Holy Place, in which the High Priest officiated daily with sacrifices and divers manners of gifts and washings, was a place for confession of sin. All of which was a shadow of heavenly things clearly revealing the Plan of Salvation. The second apartment, within the veil, called the “Most Holy,” or the “Holiest Of All,” was open only in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, in each year; there redemption from the condemnation of the law was assured. (Lev. 23:27- 30, 16:34.) It was called the Day of Atonement, Judgment, or Cleansing of the Sanctuary. (Lev. 16:33, Dan. 7:10; 8:14.) This was a day for the blotting out of sins accumulated during the year, and was a symbol of the great Day of Atonement; not in figure, but in reality. (See Lev. 16:19. Also “The Great Controversy,” page 485.) The seat overshadowed by the Cherubims being called the Mercy Seat, proves that it is a throne of mercy, and therefore a throne of judgment, where sinners can obtain mercy.”
For the sins of the people accumulated in the Holy Place as the people came to the sanctuary twice daily all year long, and offered sacrifices for any sins committed. By following this “way”, they were prepared for the Day of Atonement with the assurance their sins were blotted out on the Day of Atonement. Had they not followed this plan (way) their sins would not have been removed, for they could not have recalled every single sin when that day arrived.
Psalm 77:13 “Thy way O Yahweh, is in the Sanctuary: who is so great a Elohim as our Elohim?
Matt.13: 33 “Another parable spake he unto them; the kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.”
“For the Kingdom of Heaven is like unto leaven which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal” is here showing the Kingdom of Heaven growing into a purified dwelling place for the Saints. The leaven being hidden is the Three Angel’s Messages, by a woman – Ellen G. White is representative of the Sanctuary System being placed in the Spirit of Prophecy by the woman, Ellen G. White, and she is given the True understanding of the observance of the Divinely Ordained System of True worship with the Daily being the heartbeat of it all. The writings of Ellen White contain the interpretation of the Sanctuary System. For we read now in Patriarchs and Prophets.
PP 353: 3 – 354 “As the priests, morning and evening, entered the Holy Place at the time of incense, the daily sacrifice was ready to be offered upon the altar in the court without. This was a time of intense interest to the worshipers who assembled at the tabernacle. Before entering into the presence of Elohim through the ministration of the priest, they were to engage in earnest searching of heart and confession of sin. They united in silent prayer, with their faces toward the Holy Place. Thus their petitions ascended with the cloud of incense, while faith laid hold upon the merits of the promised Saviour prefigured by the atoning sacrifice. The hours appointed for the morning and the evening sacrifice were regarded as sacred, and they came to be observed as the set time for worship throughout the Jewish nation. And when in later times the Jews were scattered as captives in distant lands, they still at the appointed hour turned their faces toward Yahrusalem and offered up their petitions to the Elohim of Israel. In this custom Christians have an example for morning and evening prayer. While Elohim condemns a mere round of ceremonies, without the spirit of worship, He looks with great pleasure upon those who love Him, bowing morning and evening to seek pardon for sins committed and to present their requests for needed blessings.”
PP 355: 5 – 356:0 “Important truths concerning the Atonement were taught the people by this Yearly Service. In the sin offerings presented during the year, a substitute had been accepted in the sinner’s stead; but the blood of the victim had not made full Atonement for the sin. It had only provided a means by which the sin was transferred to the sanctuary. By the offering of blood, the sinner acknowledged the authority of the law, confessed the guilt of his transgression, and expressed his faith in Him who was to take away the sin of the world; but he was not entirely released from the condemnation of the law. On the Day of Atonement the High Priest, having taken an offering for the congregation, went into the Most Holy Place with the blood and sprinkled it upon the Mercy Seat, above the tables of the law. Thus the claims of the law, which demanded the life of the sinner, were satisfied. Then in his character of mediator the priest took the sins upon himself, and, leaving the sanctuary, he bore with him the burden of Israel’s guilt. At the door of the tabernacle he laid his hands upon the head of the scapegoat and confessed over him “all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions in all their sins, putting them upon the head of the goat.” And as the goat bearing these sins was sent away, they were, with him, regarded as forever separated from the people. Such was the service performed “unto the example and shadow of heavenly things.” Hebrews 8:5.”
PK 584 Last par. “The High Priest cannot defend himself or his people from Satan’s accusations. He does not claim that Israel is free from fault. In filthy garments, symbolizing the sins of the people, which he bears as their representative, he stands before the Angel, confessing their guilt, yet pointing to their repentance and humiliation, and relying upon the mercy of a sin-pardoning Redeemer. In faith he claims the promises of Elohim.
PP 357.3 to 358:3 “ After His ascension, our Saviour was to begin His work as our High Priest. Says Paul, “Yahshua is not entered into the Holy Places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of Elohim for us.” Figures meaning pattern, copy of the original in heaven.
Hebrews 9:24 “For Yahshua is not entered into the Holy Places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of Elohim for us:
“As Yahshua’s ministration was to consist of two great divisions, each occupying a period of time and having a distinctive place in the Heavenly Sanctuary, so the typical ministration consisted of two divisions, the daily and the yearly service, and to each a department of the tabernacle was devoted.”
“As Yahshua at His ascension appeared in the presence of Elohim to plead His blood in behalf of penitent believers, so the priest in their daily ministration sprinkled the blood of the animal sacrifice in the Holy Place in the sinner’s behalf”.
“The blood of Yahshua, while it was to release the repentant sinner from the condemnation of the law, was not to cancel the sin; it would stand on record in the sanctuary until the final Atonement; so in the type the blood of the sin offering removed the sin from the penitent, but it rested in the sanctuary until the Day of Atonement.” PP 357.3 to 358:3 [For the sins to remain in the sanctuary until the final Atonement is contrary to the Scriptures. For the Scriptures plainly teach that on the Day of Atonement (and the Atonement comes once a year, is a 24 hour period of time), the sins are blotted out and placed on the scapegoat and are forever removed from the people. Only the new sins are kept on record until the next Atonement, if the people come up for it and have gotten forgiveness of them on a daily basis.]
Sr. White wrote about the cleansing of the sanctuary at the end of the 2300 days and said the feasts should be observed. We ask the question, “Why did she not institute the beginning of the observance of them, then? Why did the Seventh Day Adventist not keep the Feasts and the Daily if she knew they were important? Supposedly the SDAs were a Sanctuary people yet they never kept them. Why?
For the answers to these questions, we will give the reason of the importance of the Sanctuary System. As the Sanctuary System, which started in 1844 was the Judgment for the Dead; the cleansing of the sanctuary in heaven was the removal of the sins of all the repentant people who had died after the crucifixion and resurrection of Yahshua. Yahshua cleansed the sanctuary at the beginning of His ministry in 30 AD and again at the close in 33 AD. Likewise, the sanctuary in Heaven was cleansed at the beginning of the Judgment for the Dead; afterwards the DAILY was put into operation in heaven for the dead. As people died, depending on the time of the day, their names came into review in the sanctuary at the appointed hours of the day, and they were judged either saints for salvation or their names were recorded for the final destruction in the end in the lake of fire. For instance if some one died before the time of the morning offering, they were judged at the morning hour, if they died after this but before the 3pm hour they were judged at the time of the 3pm evening offering. If they were judged righteous then their sins were sprinkled with the fresh blood of Yahshua on the horns of the altar in heaven, waiting for the Day of the Atonement, at which time they were removed, their names left in the Book of Life, waiting for the resurrection of the saints in the end of probation.
But the ones whose sins were not sprinkled with the fresh blood of Yahshua at the times of the DAILY when the records were being made, then on the Day of the Atonement, their sins were not forgiven, but were left on the record book for them to pay the ultimate price in the destruction in the lake of fire.
For the time came for the end of the Judgment of the Dead in the year of 2002, and once again there was a cleansing of the Heavenly Sanctuary of all the sins from the time of 1844 up to the Day of Atonement, September 2002, at the beginning of the Judgment for the Living, which is the beginning of the harvest of the end of the world; the final cleansing of the sanctuary is the close of Probationary time-end of the world.
So the reason for the Seventh-Day-Adventist not putting all the feasts into operation was because the time of the Judgment of the Dead was in progress and the feasts were not for them at that time. The courts in the Heavenly Sanctuary were opened in 1844 for the judging of the dead, not the living. For the living were supposed to live their lives in accordance with the Scriptures and make themselves holy and free from sin. True, they did right to have morning and evening worship times to be sure they were always ready should they die at any given time. So when Yahweh said to Moses that the Law was given for a perpetual covenant, He meant just that. For the word Perpetual means forever.
Revelation 20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before Elohim; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. “In the great day of final award, the dead are to be “judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.”
John 2:15-16 “And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting: And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers’ money, and overthrew the tables; And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father’s house an house of merchandise.”
The time has now lapsed, over 160 years, for the observance and restoration of the Divinely Ordained System of worship of the Yahweh; we know that its restoration marks the opening of the Judgment for the Living. Just so there has to be a cleansing of the Sanctuary for the closing of the one and the opening of the other.
In the last half of the paragraph of PP 358:3, “in the type the blood of the sin offering removed the sin from the penitent, but it rested in the sanctuary until the Day of Atonement…” This is correct. Just so in the antitypical time on the Day of Atonement the sins rest in the sanctuary all year until the Day of Atonement. If we are practicing “the daily” then we can come to the Day of Atonement and have the assurance of our sins being blotted off of the record.
PP 358 “In the great day of final award, the dead are to be “judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.” Revelation 20:12. Then by virtue of the atoning blood of Yahshua, the sins of all the truly penitent will be blotted from the books of heaven. Thus the sanctuary will be freed, or cleansed, from the record of sin. In the type, this great work of Atonement, or blotting out of sins, was represented by the services of the Day of Atonement–the cleansing of the earthly sanctuary, which was accomplished by the removal, by virtue of the blood of the sin offering, of the sins by which it had been polluted.”
“As in the final Atonement the sins of the truly penitent are to be blotted from the records of heaven, no more to be remembered or come into mind, so in the type they were borne away into the wilderness, forever separated from the congregation.”
“Since Satan is the originator of sin, the direct instigator of all the sins that caused the death of the Son of Elohim, justice demands that Satan shall suffer the final punishment. Yahshua’s work for the redemption of men and the purification of the universe from sin will be closed by the removal of sin from the Heavenly Sanctuary and the placing of these sins upon Satan, who will bear the final penalty. So in the typical service, the yearly round of ministration closed with the purification of the sanctuary, and the confessing of the sins on the head of the scapegoat.”
“Thus in the ministration of the Tabernacle, and of the temple that afterward took its place, the people were taught each day the great truths relative to Yahshua’s death and ministration, and once each year their minds were carried forward to the closing events of the great controversy between Yahshua and Satan, the final purification of the universe from sin and sinners.”
Lev.23: 28-29 “And ye shall do no work in that same day: for it is a Day of Atonement, to make an Atonement for you before the YAHWEH your Elohim. For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be afflicted in that same day, he shall be cut off from among his people.”
GC 485.3 “In the typical service the High Priest, having made the Atonement for Israel, came forth and blessed the congregation. So Yahshua, at the close of His work as mediator, will appear, “without sin unto salvation” (Hebrews 9:28), to bless His waiting people with eternal life. As the priest, in removing the sins from the sanctuary, confessed them upon the head of the scapegoat, so Yahshua will place all these sins upon Satan, the originator and instigator of sin. The scapegoat, bearing the sins of Israel, was sent away “unto a land not inhabited” (Leviticus 16:22); so Satan, bearing the guilt of all the sins which he has caused Elohim’s people to commit, will be for a thousand years confined to the earth, which will then be desolate, without inhabitant, and he will at last suffer the full penalty of sin in the fires that shall destroy all the wicked. Thus the great plan of redemption will reach its accomplishment in the final eradication of sin and the deliverance of all who have been willing to renounce evil.”
Heb 9:8-14 “The Holy Spirit this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing: Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience; Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation. But Yahshua being come an High Priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the Holy Place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: How much more shall the blood of Yahshua, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to Elohim, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living Elohim?”
Heb.9: 22 “And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.”
1SM 344.1 “Yahshua, our Mediator, and the Holy Spirit are constantly interceding in man’s behalf, but the Spirit pleads not for us as does Yahshua, who presents His blood, shed from the foundation of the world; the Spirit works upon our hearts, drawing out prayers and penitence, praise and thanksgiving. The gratitude which flows from our lips is the result of the Spirit’s striking the cords of the soul in holy memories, awakening the music of the heart.”
Again when it says, “shed from the foundation of the world” it means the Plan of Salvation was set up and the sanctuary put in place as a result of sin having entered heaven first.
1SM 344.2 “The religious services, the prayers, the praise, the penitent confession of sin ascend from true believers as incense to the Heavenly Sanctuary, but passing through the corrupt channels of humanity, they are so defiled that unless purified by blood, they can never be of value with Elohim. They ascend not in spotless purity, and unless the Intercessor, who is at Elohim’s right hand, presents and purifies all by His righteousness, it is not acceptable to Elohim. All incense from earthly tabernacles must be moist with the cleansing drops of the blood of Yahshua. He holds before the Father the censer of His own merits, in which there is no taint of earthly corruption. He gathers into this censer the prayers, the praise, and the confessions of His people, and with these He puts His own spotless righteousness. Then, perfumed with the merits of Yahshua’s propitiation, the incense comes up before Elohim wholly and entirely acceptable. Then gracious answers are returned.”
Revelation 8: 1-5 “And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour. [2] And I saw the seven angels, which stood before Elohim; and to them were given seven trumpets. [3] And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne. [4] And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before Elohim out of the angel’s hand. [5] And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire off the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.”
This is showing incense is made available for burning on the altar to ascend up with the prayers of the saints. Just as Aaron and the priests had to sprinkle the blood on the horns of the altar in the earthly sanctuary just so Yahshua sprinkles his blood on the horns of the altar in the Heavenly Sanctuary and on the Day of Atonement the sins are blotted out and the sanctuary is cleansed for another year. This cannot be accomplished if you have not been practicing the daily worship and getting a daily sprinkling of your sins preparing them for the Day of Atonement.
The morning and the evening prayer time is the key to our salvation. Without this, we do not have a plan – Way – for our sins to be removed on the Day of Atonement. Psalms 77:13 say the only “way” to the Father is in the sanctuary service. If His throne of mercy is there, then it is important that we be prepared for the Day of Atonement and make sure Yahshua sprinkles our sins with his fresh blood. For as the scriptures say in Hebrews 9:22 “And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.” So if the shedding of blood is the only way for the remission, then how does Yahshua do it without dying again? It says that the wounds in his hands bleed a fresh.
PP411: 3 “The smitten rock was a figure of Yahshua, and through this symbol the most precious spiritual truths are taught. As the life-giving waters flowed from the smitten rock, so from Yahshua, “smitten of Elohim,” “wounded for our transgressions,” “bruised for our iniquities” (Isaiah 53:4, 5), the stream of salvation flows for a lost race. As the rock had been once smitten, so Yahshua was to be “once offered to bear the sins of many.” Hebrews 9:28. Our Saviour was not to be sacrificed a second time; and it is only necessary for those who seek the blessings of His grace to ask in the name of Yahshua, pouring forth the heart’s desire in penitential prayer. Such prayer will bring before the YAHWEH of hosts the wounds of Yahshua, and then will flow forth afresh the life-giving blood, symbolized by the flowing of the living water for Israel.”
Once again we quote this one important sentence in 1SM344:3 “All incense from earthly tabernacles must be moist with the cleansing drops of the blood of Yahshua.” We have to say then, that the prayers, along with the incense, from our lips- bodies -minds-earthly tabernacles, makes us saints.
Heb.7: 26-27 “For such an High Priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens; Who needeth not daily, as those High Priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people’s: for this he (Yahshua) did once, when he offered up himself.” From this Scripture we see that the earthly priests had to first offer for their sins and then for the sins of the people, but Yahshua, being come a priest was without sin or defilement. He offered himself once for the sins of the people and now he sprinkles his blood afresh for the sins in the Sanctuary above, daily, and cleanses it once a year according to the type given to Moses.
Heb.9: 11-12 “But Yahshua being come an High Priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the Holy Place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.”(Us- being those under the old covenant- before He died.)
In the Old Covenant the High Priest went into the sanctuary and offered up sacrifices for their own sins before they could offer sacrifices for the people, they were sinful just as were the people. The blood of bulls and goats pointed forward to the pure blood of Yahshua. But Yahshua, being come to earth to set up the New And Living Way of salvation, was tempted in all points like as we are, but he was with out sin. He overcame sin and won the victory over sin and death. He was our example and we are to overcome sin and the world if we are to have eternal salvation. But we can only overcome if we follow the Sanctuary System and all the requirements of it.
Heb 10:19-21 “Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Yahshua, By a New And Living Way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; And having an High Priest over the house of Elohim;” At the death of Yahshua the veil of the temple rent in twain showing the end of that earthly system of worship. After all, they no longer had the Ark of the Covenant in their possession, for the only thing in the Most Holy apartment was a stone from the temple of Solomon.
Heb.9: 13-18,22 “For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: How much more shall the blood of Yahshua, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to Elohim, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living Elohim? And for this cause he is the mediator of the New Testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they, which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance. For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth. Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood. And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.”
We know if someone dies and leaves a will, then that will – testament is effective and can be probated and the contents divided among the family. BUT, while the owner of the will – testament is still alive, the will – testament) is of no effect. No one can take any thing from the property because to do so would be theft.
Do you see what I just said? If you say that Yahshua died for you at the crucifixion, you are stealing from him, and you are telling a lie, and you are also breaking the Law of the Sanctuary System. Is this what you want to do? No, no we don’t want to have that on our records. As it was in the Old Law just so it is in the New Law. They are identical except the earthly had the animal sacrifice and the heavenly has the Sprinkled Fresh Blood of Yahshua. A sin is not confessed until after it is committed.
For the blood shed at Calvary covered the sins of the people who had died from Adam up to the then, and also the ones who were living then and had made their confession.
Let’s go back into the Law of Moses again. Here you see the people brought their animal sacrifices after they had committed a sin, not before. If this method were possible, then why did Yahshua not die, and then resurrect, before man ever sinned? Would they not have then been covered forever? This is essentially what people are saying when they say “Jesus (Yahshua) died for us”. It is totally against all the laws of the Scriptures. For the Law of Moses does not teach this, the Sanctuary System does not teach it, so where did this idea come from?
When you are driving the highways you are not under the condemnation of the law as long as you are obeying them. You don’t pay a fine if you have not broken the law do you? Do you pay for a speeding ticket before you get it? No. Just so, your sins cannot be forgiven before you have committed them. Just so Yahshua died for the sins past, see Romans 3:25 “Whom Yahshua hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of Elohim;”
The word ‘propitiation’ in Webster’s dictionary: “to cause to become favorably inclined, win or regain the good will of; appease, or conciliate, pacify.”
So, “Yahshua hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith for us through his blood. We want to win, regain His good will, appease, etc., to the Father by His covering our sins with his blood that is shed when we sin and then confess them. This sounds pretty awesome. It should make us stop and do some serious thinking. Do we want to change our thinking and what we have always thought or, are we too set in our thinking to change and gain salvation through the DAILY shedding of his blood?
Now, lets read Heb. 10:1-9 “For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect. For then would they not have ceased to be offered? Because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins. But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year. For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins. Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me: In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure. Then said I (Yahshua), Lo, I come (in the volume of the book (the Old Testament) it is written of me,) to do thy will, O Yahweh. When he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law; Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O Yahweh. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.”
Yahshua took away the first system of worship with the animal blood so as to establish the New And Living Way through the sprinkling of His own blood in the sanctuary on a daily basis now for us. The nail prints in his hands bleed afresh for us when we sin and he sprinkles his blood in the sanctuary in heaven for the remission of our sins today. You cannot sprinkle dry blood. Again, it has to be moist.
Lev.17: 11 “For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an Atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an Atonement for the soul.”
Obviously, then, if the life of the flesh is in the blood, then only fresh blood will serve to cover sins. It says the blood is given to you upon the altar to make Atonement for your soul. “The life of all flesh is in their blood, the blood of it is for the life thereof…(Lev: 17:14)”
Because blood coagulates in a few minutes, it had to be sprinkled immediately. The altar was by the door of the sanctuary for this reason. Dry blood cannot be used, and you cannot sprinkle it. When Yahshua died, the veil of the temple rent in twain, showing that need of the earthly sanctuary was finished. For the animal sacrificing was finished, the Lamb, the Son of Yahweh, had just died and shed his precious blood for the sins of the people who lived and died up to then, and there was no priest at the scene to catch the just shed blood of Yahshua to offer it in the Sanctuary, instead the service of the earthly had finally come to an end. For the blood of Yahshua had anointed the Most Holy and brought to an end the earthly system, but no one knew what had taken place.
After Yahshua arose, He went to the traveling throne and offered the wave sheaf offering. It was then he set up the “New and Living Way” as shown in Hebrews 8:1-6 “Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an High Priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens; A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Yahweh pitched, and not man. For every High Priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this man (Yahshua) have somewhat also to offer. For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law: Who (priests on the earth) serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of the Elohim when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount. But now hath he (Yahshua) obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.”
From this we see that His crucifixion ended the Old Testament Covenant system (animal sacrifices) and established forever the New And Living Way System of Salvation in the Heavenly Sanctuary. For the ordinance of the Ceremonial animal sacrifice was the only thing done away with. For the rest of the law was still binding. For the disciples kept the Sabbath, observed the Pentecost, the daily, etc. For the daily was the offering of prayers for the forgiveness of sins committed. Paul said in 1Corin.9: 27 “But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.” He was showing the people they were to keep following the daily confession of sins in order to be without fault before the people whom they witnessed. Should he have any sin, he could be the cause of someone else sinning and cause them be lost. He didn’t want that on his record.
Heb.10: 10 “By the which “will” we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Yahshua Messiah once for all.” This “will” is a promise to sanctify us if we obey the System He set up for us. It is our choice to take hold of it and become holy.
Heb.9: 12 “Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the Holy Place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. (The ‘us’ is Paul and the ones living then, not us today).”
Yahshua obtained eternal redemption for the people living in that time, and for the saints that had died. By His dying once, and resurrecting, then going to heaven to make an offering with His own blood, which he sprinkled from the nail prints in his hands even then in the sanctuary, he set up the New And Living Way for us to follow today. This is the only method (plan) for the salvation for anyone. When we come before him on bended knee and offer our prayers and petitions, asking for the forgiveness of our sins, then we become purified (cleansed) and made ready for the Day of Atonement and come away from it with the promise (assurance) we have a clean slate for the New Year. This is how our names are put in the Lamb’s Book of Life.
So where did the idea come from that teaches “Yahshua died for you and me”? Who changed the law for the keeping of the Daily and the other Holy Days in the Levitical Law of Moses? The answer is the Catholic Church.
1 Cor. 15: 3 “For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Yahshua died for our sins according to the scriptures;”
Lev. 4:27-30 “And if any one of the common people sin through ignorance, while he doeth somewhat against any of the commandments of the YAHWEH concerning things which ought not to be done, and be guilty; [28] Or if his sin, which he hath sinned, come to his knowledge: then he shall bring his offering, a kid of the goats, a female without blemish, for his sin which he hath sinned. [29] And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the sin offering, and slay the sin offering in the place of the burnt offering. [30] And the priest shall take of the blood thereof with his finger, and put it upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering….”
We see the person bringing his offering AFTER he has sinned, not before. It is the same law we are to follow today in our observance of the Daily. We are to pray for the sins we have committed and Yahshua, in the Heavenly Sanctuary, sprinkles his fresh blood in the same manner as was done with the earthly priests. Remember the blueprint given to Moses was an exact replica of the one in the Heavenly Sanctuary.
Daniel 8:11-14 “Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of the host, and by him the Daily Sacrifice was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down. And an host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, and it cast down the Truth to the ground; and it practised, and prospered. Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain saint which spake, How long shall be the vision concerning the Daily-Sacrifice, and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot? And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.
From this we realize that the Daily and the Atonement were to have been restored. Because Adventist and Sr. White did not fully understand it’s meaning, therefore she taught the Atonement to be a period of time from 1844 to the end of the Judgment of the Dead. But this is not in harmony with the Scriptures. Nowhere in the Scriptures will you find a teaching to back this statement. For the Atonement is a 24-hour literal period of time. Only through the daily can we have true forgiveness of sins and have them transferred to the Heavenly Sanctuary into the First Apartment to wait for the Day of Atonement when they are then blotted out. Does Yahweh overlook or wink at this mistake? He says that he winks at ignorance until you have knowledge then you are responsible for being obedient.
Here is a quote from the SDA Bible Dictionary Vol 8:242 “…The power symbolized by the Little Horn Desolates the Sanctuary and HALTS it’s regular ritual services, but after a period of 2300 ‘days’ the sanctuary is ‘cleansed’, or restored to it’s rightful state.’ The additional information is given that the ‘abomination that maketh desolate’ is substituted for the ‘daily.’ Since the daily designates the DIVINELY ORDAINED SYSTEM of true worship, the power (Catholic church) that removes it stands in opposition to Elohim, and the abomination that maketh desolate represents’ a counterfeit system of worship.”
The Catholic Church has the counterfeit system of worship. She teaches a daily confession, taking the wafer (host as they call it) afterwards. They also teach this host actually becomes the body of “Christ” (Yahshua) when it is eaten.
For the counterfeit system consists also of the pagan holidays: Christmas, Valentine day, Easter, St. Patrick’s Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Sunday, Birthdays, Mother’s and Father’s Day, or any other days that are now holidays set up by our government. The Catholics take credit for this in the Catholic Catechism. It say, “The new law has it’s own spirit… and it own feasts, which have taken the place of those appointed in the Law of Moses. If we would know the days to be observed, we must go to the Catholic Church and not to the Mosaic law.” Reprinted in the Signs of the Times, Nov. 4,1919.
Sr. White was given this message: “I said further: As the word of Elohim is walled in with these books and pamphlets, so has Elohim walled you in with reproofs, counsel, warnings, and encouragements. Here you are crying before Elohim, in the anguish of your souls, for more light. I am authorized from Elohim to tell you that not another ray of light through the Testimonies will shine upon your pathway until you make a practical use of the light already given. The YAHWEH has walled you about with light; but you have not appreciated the light; you have trampled upon it. While some have despised the light, others have neglected it, or followed it but indifferently. A few have set their hearts to obey the light, which Elohim has been pleased to give them. {2T 606.1}”
Rev.3: 14 “And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amien, the faithful and True Witness (Yahshua), the beginning of the creation of Elohim;”
Yahshua is the Faithful and True Witness, the beginning of the creation of Elohim. He is the First Creation by the Father, after were created Lucifer and the angels, and all else were created. Yahshua is created from the bowels of Yahweh the Father.
The Sanctuary-System was set up before the foundation of any of the worlds were laid; it was not put into operation until after the fall of Satan and his angels. Had it not already been in place when Satan sinned, he would have been destroyed immediately. Also when Yahweh told Adam and Eve that they would die in the day they ate of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, they would have died instantly if there had been no remedy for their sins.
Gen 3:21 “Unto Adam also and to his wife did YAHWEH Elohim make coats of skins, and clothed them.” This scripture here shows the beginning of the animal sacrifice, set up at the Garden gate, and it continued until the death of Yahshua.
So now we have the complete picture of the Sanctuary System from the beginning of Adam and Eve’s fall to the crucifixion of our Savior Yahshua Messiah, then of the setting up of the Heavenly Sanctuary, to operate until the close of probation by the blood of Yahshua.
“Every additional ray of light that we receive gives us a clearer understanding of the plan of redemption, which is the working out of the divine will in the salvation of man. We see new beauty and force in the inspired word, and we study its pages with a deeper and more absorbing interest.” PP 367.4
“What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? Can faith save him?” James 2:14
If we say that we can do nothing to be saved, then we are saying the Scriptures are wrong and Yahshua died in vain. This we know is not the case and we know that the Scriptures are true. “Let Yahweh be true and every man a liar.” So man is a liar if he believes that Yahshua did it all for us at the crucifixion, and we can do nothing for ourselves for our salvation. For this teaching cannot be found in the Scriptures.
We show our faith by our works with the offering of prayer for the forgiveness of sins. Our overcoming in all things is what brings about the perfection of our character into the righteousness of Yahshua.
Just what are the works that Paul is talking about here in James? Answer: Observing of the Daily at the proper time, the Seventh Day Sabbath, the Feast Days, Obedience to all the commandments, putting away of idolatry in our lives, and serving Yahweh with the whole heart, mind, and soul.
Abraham believed Elohim and was willing to offer his son. Job lost his whole family of children and all his animals and almost all of his servants. Then his wife told him to curse Yahweh and die. But it was not so with Job. He was a righteous man.
James 2: 24 “Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.” Job offered sacrifices for his family while they were merry making. This was his works. Without works we are left destitute and without hope of salvation. Think about this if you desire to have salvation. Our works are the practicing of the Daily and all the Feasts of Yahweh. So when someone tells you that works are wrong, Show them how the Scriptures teach works.
James 2: [17] Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
[18] Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.
[19] Thou believest that there is one Elohim; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
[20] But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
[21] Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
[22] Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?
[23] And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed Elohim, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of Elohim.
[24] Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
[25] Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way?
[26] For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
These works are not the good deeds done in trying to justify ourselves. For Yahshua says,
Matt 7: [21] Not every one that saith unto me, Master, Master, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
[22] Many will say to me in that day, Master, Master, have we not prophesied in thy name? And in thy name have cast out devils? And in thy name done many wonderful works?
[23] And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
