2. Christ was inaugurated as the High Priest and minister of this heavenly sanctuary. Heb. 8:1-3,6; Heb. 4:14-16.
3. As its counterpart on earth, this heavenly sanctuary has two apartments. (Heb. 8:5; Heb. 9:1-7).

5. When Christ rose again and entered into heaven, He entered into the first apartment of the heavenly sanctuary. Heb. 9:12,24,25; Heb. 10:19.

9. But when the judgment sits he loses that dominion. Dan. 7:9,10,13,26.
10. The judgment starts when the second apartment of the heavenly sanctuary is open, thus at that time the Papacy loses his obscuring dominion over the gospel. Rev. 11: 18,19.

12. The Papal little horn tramples the Truth. Dan. 8:11-13.
13. How long is he allowed to do this? Unto two thousand and three hundred days/years, at the beginning of the cleansing of the sanctuary, thus at this date the Papacy loses his obscuring dominion. Dan.8:13,14.

WHAT OUR INQUIRY ABOUT OURSELVES SHOULD BE?

WHAT OUR INQUIRY ABOUT OURSELVES  SHOULD BE? We are in the very last days, we are told that the last controversy will be very short. “We are standing on the threshold of great and solemn events. Prophecies are fulfilling. The last great conflict will be short, but terrible. Old controversies will be revived. New controversies will arise. We have a great work to do. Our ministerial work must not cease. The last warning must be given to the world. There is a special power in the presentation of the truth at the present time. How long will it last? Only a little while.” Ellen G. White, Selected Messages bk. 3, pg. 419. And in view of the lateness of time, what should be the inquiry of everyone? We are told: “The inquiry of everyone should be ‘whose am I? To whom do I owe allegiance? Is my heart renewed? Is my soul reformed? Are my sins forgiven? Will they be blotted out when the time of refreshing shall come?” Ibid, pg. 419. We must needs examine ourselves to see if we...

EGW QUOTE ON SINFUL NATURE

We are told that Jesus had our “sinful nature.” “He took upon Him our sinful nature.” Ellen G. White, Signs of the Times, 7/30/02. “In him was no guile nor sinfulness,….yet He took upon Him our sinful nature.” Ibid. From what we have just read, we see that the term “sinful nature” for Mrs. White does not mean that the person has sin for she says that Jesus was sinfree. But what does sinful nature mean that the person? A. It means human nature affected by sin not infected with  sin. B. It means human nature weakened by sin, but not resided by sin. C. This is the Mind, Emotions/Passions, Flesh and Experience weakened by sin, but not necessarily indwelt by sin. D. It is quite true that man’s sinful nature, a nature weakened by sin, in the average sinner may have sin in it. So sinful nature for the sinner in sin is a nature weakened by sin, but the man has sin in this nature. E. This means the man has sin in his Mind, Passions/Emotions, Experience, and sin in his flesh is sin in his Mi...
