RIPENING THE GRAINS FOR
HARVEST
• Mark 4:26-29 And he said, So is the kingdom
of God, as if a man should cast seed into the
ground; And should sleep, and rise night and
day, and the seed should spring and grow up,
he knoweth not how. For the earth bringeth
forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the
ear, after that the full corn in the ear. But
when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he
putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is
come.
The Preparation for the Final
Trial
• Revelation 3:10
Because thou hast kept
the word of my patience, I also will keep
thee from the hour of temptation, which
shall come upon all the world, to try them
that dwell upon the earth.
The Foundation of Our Faith
• The Foundation of Our Faith.--The
correct understanding of the
ministration in the heavenly sanctuary
is the foundation of our faith.--Letter
208, 1906. {Ev 221.2}

• The Center of Christ's Atoning Work.--The
subject of the sanctuary and the
investigative judgment should be clearly
understood by the people of God. All need
a knowledge for themselves of the position
and work of their great High Priest.
Otherwise, it will be impossible for them
to exercise the faith which is essential at
this time, or to occupy the position which
God designs them to fill…
• …Every individual has a soul to save
or to lose. Each has a case pending at
the bar of God. Each must meet the
great Judge face to face. How
important, then, that every mind
contemplate often the solemn scene
when the judgment shall sit and the
books shall be opened, when, with
Daniel, every individual must stand in
his lot, at the end of the days. {Ev
221.3}
NOW! IS THE ATONEMENT
DAY
•
We are in the great day of
atonement, and the sacred work of
Christ for the people of God that is
going on at the present time in the
heavenly sanctuary should be our
constant study…
• …We should teach our children
what the typical Day of Atonement
signified and that it was a special
season of great humiliation and
confession of sins before God. The
antitypical day of atonement is to
be of the same character...
• …Everyone who teaches the truth by precept
and example will give the trumpet a certain
sound. You need ever to cultivate spirituality,
because it is not natural for you to be
heavenly-minded. The great work is before us
of leading the people away from worldly
customs and practices, up higher and higher,
to spirituality, piety, and earnest work for
God…
• …It is your work to proclaim the
message of the third angel, to sound the
last note of warning to the world. May
the Lord bless you with spiritual
eyesight. I write this in love, seeing your
danger. Please consider these things
carefully and prayerfully. • {5T 520.1}
THE DAY OF ATONEMENT—IN
THE MOST HOLY PLACE
• Lev 16—the day of atonement: the
cleansing of the Sanctuary; the most holy
place, the holy place and the altar of burnt
offerings from the uncleanness of Israel.
The High priest will enter into the most
holy place once a year—the yearly ministry.
• Living before the presence of God.
The Call To Keep The Day Of
Atonement
• Leviticus 23:27 Also on the tenth day of this
seventh month there shall be a day of atonement:
it shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye
shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made
by fire unto the Lord. 28. 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 Lord
your God. 29. For whatsoever soul it be that shall
not be afflicted in that same day, he shall be cut
off from among his people.
THE ARK OF THE
COVENANT
• Upon:
• THE TWO CHERUBIMS
• THE MERCY SEAT
• Exodus 25:22 And there I will meet with thee,
and I will commune with thee from above the
mercy seat, from between the two cherubims
which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all
things which I will give thee in commandment
unto the children of Israel.
Inside (Heb 9:4):
• TEN COMMANDMENTS (Deut 10:2)
• POT OF MANNA (Exo 16:33,34)
• AARON’S ROD (Num 17:10)
Outside :
• BOOK OF THE LAW (Deut 31:26)
Christ led us through the trial of
faith
• 1. He made us delightful in obeying God’s law.
• 2. He supplied us the bread from heaven to
make us grow and bear the fruit of
righteousness.
• 3. Through His mediation we received the
blessings of sanctifications.
• 4. By His sacrifice we become victorious in the
time of trials.
CHEST=HEART,
TABLETS=MIND
• Hebrews 8:10 For this is the covenant that I
will make with the house of Israel after
those days, saith the Lord; I will put my
laws into their mind, and write them in their
hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they
shall be to me a people:
LAW=CHRIST, OUR
RIGHTEOUSNESS
• Romans 10:4 For Christ is the end
(consummation) of the law for
righteousness to every one that
believeth.
MANNA=CHRIST, OUR
DAILY FOOD
• John 6:31 Our fathers did eat manna in the
desert; as it is written, He gave them bread
from heaven to eat…
• 35. And Jesus said unto them, I am the
bread of life: he that cometh to me shall
never hunger; and he that believeth on me
shall never thirst.
AARON’S ROD=CHRIST, OUR
HIGH PRIEST
• Numbers 17:8 And it came to pass, that on
the morrow Moses went into the tabernacle
of witness; and, behold, the rod of Aaron
for the house of Levi was budded, and
brought forth buds, and bloomed blossoms,
and yielded almonds.
• Hebrews 4:14 Seeing then that we have a
great high priest, that is passed into the
heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold
fast our profession.
• 1 Timothy 2:5 For there is one God, and
one mediator between God and men, the
man Christ Jesus;
CHRIST’S WORK IN THE MOST
HOLY PLACE BEFORE THE MERCY
SEAT
• CHRIST, THE HIGH PRIEST IN OUR
BEHALF BEFORE THE MERCY SEAT
BEARING OUR LIFE ON HIMSELF
BEFORE THE PRESENCE OF GOD FOR
THE FINAL CLEANSING…
…FOR THE WORK OF
PERFECTION— TO ENABLE US
TO LIVE IN THE PRESENCE OF
GOD WITHOUT THE MEDIATOR
CHRIST’S WORK OF CLEANSING;
TO PROVIDE SPOTLESS ROBE
• …Those who are living upon the earth
when the intercession of Christ shall cease
in the sanctuary above are to stand in the
sight of a holy God without a mediator.
Their robes must be spotless, their
characters must be purified from sin by the
blood of sprinkling. Through the grace of
God and their own diligent effort they must
be conquerors in the battle with evil…
• …While the investigative judgment is going
forward in heaven, while the sins of
penitent believers are being removed from
the sanctuary, there is to be a special work
of purification, of putting away of sin,
among God's people upon earth. This work
is more clearly presented in the messages of
Revelation 14. {GC 425.1}
Note: The work in heavenly sanctuary is the work on earth,
in us, in our body temple.
The work in Preparation to Live
without the Mediator
• I saw that many were neglecting the
preparation so needful and were looking to
the time of "refreshing" and the "latter rain"
to fit them to stand in the day of the Lord
and to live in His sight. Oh, how many I
saw in the time of trouble without a shelter!
They had neglected the needful
preparation;….
• … therefore they could not receive the
refreshing that all must have to fit them to
live in the sight of a holy God. Those who
refuse to be hewed by the prophets and fail
to purify their souls in obeying the whole
truth, and who are willing to believe that
their condition is far better than it really is,
will come up to the time of the falling of the
plagues, and then see that they needed to be
hewed and squared for the building.
• …But there will be no time then to do it and
no Mediator to plead their cause before the
Father. Before this time the awfully solemn
declaration has gone forth, "He that is
unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which
is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is
righteous, let him be righteous still: and he
that is holy, let him be holy still." I saw that
none could share the "refreshing" unless
they obtain the victory …
• …over every besetment, over pride,
selfishness, love of the world, and over
every wrong word and action. We should,
therefore, be drawing nearer and nearer to
the Lord and be earnestly seeking that
preparation necessary to enable us to stand
in the battle in the day of the Lord. Let all
remember that God is holy and that none
but holy beings can ever dwell in His
presence. (72) {EW 71.2}
