Hiram Edson

While passing through a large field. I wasstopped Heaven seemed open to my view,and I saw distinctly and clearly that instead of

our High Priest coming

out of the most holy place of the heavenly sanctuary

to this earth on the tenth day of the seventh month, at

the end of the 2300 days, He, for the first time,

entered on the day into the second apartment of that

sanctuary, and that He had a work to perform in the

most holy place before coming to the earth

RH, June 23, 1921.

The Biblical Basis for the sanctuary doctrine:

Between 1849-1905 one finds more than 400

articles in The Present Truth and The Advent

Review and Sabbath Heraldon the subject ofthe sanctuary.

Three writers emerge as spokesmen for the

church on this doctrine:

J.N. Andrews / James White / Uriah Smith

They authored almost 65 percent of the

articles on the sanctuary.

J.N. Andrews

The view that they (SDAs)

have to present ofthe

Sanctuary is the great central

doctrine of their system; forit

inseparably connects all thepoints of their faith, and

presents the subject as one grand whole.RH, Oct. 18, 1864

Uriah Smith

The subject of the sanctuary is

one which should specially

engage the attention of S.D.Adventists. It is a subject

peculiar to this people. Everyone of our people should therefore make ita point of first importance to become

thoroughly conversant with this subject.RH, Feb. 20, 1883.

James White

The present truth (that Christ was

now ministering in the Most Holy

place) has found Him, to the joy of

their (the Advent believers) hearts.

We have witnessed the flowing of

tears have witnessed the flowing ofsome such, as the literal Sanctuary in heaven has

been pointed out, and the literal Jesus shown to be

standing before the mercy seat (that is over the Ark

of the Ten Commandments) still pleading His blood

for the errors of His people. And we have heard

them express great joy that they have found Jesus

RH, Feb. 17, 1852

James White

We not only believe in a literal Jesus, who is a

Minister of the Sanctuary, but we also believe that

the Sanctuary is literal. And more, when John says

that he saw one like the Son of man in the midst of

the seven candlesticks John had a view of another

part of the Sanctuary... He says, The temple of God

was opened in heaven, and there was seen in His

temple the ARK OF HIS TESTAMENT. Rev. 11:19.

This being an event to take place under the

sounding of the seventh angel, it could be fulfilled at

no other time than at the end of the 2300 days. The

Most Holy was then opened for our Great High

Priest to enter to make atonement for the cleansingof the SanctuaryRH, June 9, 1851.

Between 1844 -1851

Ellen White had 11 visions focusing on

the sanctuary doctrine

The subject of

the sanctuary was the

key It opened to view

a complete system of

truth, connected and

harmonious.

It is the central pillar

that sustains the

structure of our

position

Letter 126, 1897, p. 4. {4MR 244}

The scripture which above all

others had been both the

foundation and the central pillar

of the advent faith was thedeclaration: "Unto two

thousand and three hundred

days; then shall the sanctuarybe cleansed." Daniel 8:14

{GC 409.1}

Summary:

The sanctuary is the main focus of the Bible.

The Pentateuch / feasts / prophets / Psalms / Acts

/ Hebrews / The Gospel of John / Revelation - all

focus on the sanctuary.

The sanctuary was focused on by William Miller

and then the early pioneers.

Ellen White received 11 visions verifying the

appropriateness of this priority.

The Adventist churches sanctuary doctrine is itsunique contribution to theology.
