This book is devoted to a discussion of man—his purpose, potential, and ultimate destiny as revealed in the gospel, in prophecy, and shadowed forth in the sanctuary service.
The unfolding of the gospel plan as revealed in the sanctuary service brings into view the finishing of God’s work for man, as prefigured in the Day of Atonement, the second last of a series of seven feasts, that marked out the religious year in the Old Testament.
Many prophecies also point to this aim. Here are a few of them:
- Daniel 8:14 – The Cleansing of the Sanctuary
- Daniel 7 – The Judgment Scene that Justifies the Saints
- Mark 4:26-29/ Revelation 14:14-16 – The Harvest of Ripened Characters
- Revelation 3:8 / Revelation 11:19 – The Open Door into the Most Holy Place
- Revelation 7 – The Sealing of the 144,000 Living Saints
- Revelation 10:7 – The Finishing of the Mystery of God (Christ in Us)
Man’s redemption back to kingship is accomplished through the work of salvation from sin. But God’s plan encompasses more than just individual salvation. God’s name is to be revealed through His people, just as it was revealed through Christ, when He came as a man. It is this revelation which will close the battle between Christ and Satan. 180p
“God’s honor is at stake in the perfection of the saints. From the beginning of the great controversy, Satan has claimed that it is impossible to keep the law of God. God’s final answer is to perfect a people through the work of cleansing the sanctuary, and answer the challenge of Satan.” (p. 166)
