The Sanctuary

And the book of Revelation

Exodus 25:8
And let them make me a sanctuary; that I
may dwell among them.
25:9 According to all that I show thee,
[after] the pattern of the tabernacle, and
the pattern of all the instruments thereof,
even so shall ye make [it].

The Earthly Sanctuary:

Was

made by Moses and the children of

Israel on Gods instruction. God has a true
Sanctuary in Heaven from which the
pattern of the earthly was made in
miniature, as an object lesson. We need to
be ready when Jesus comes so we can go
to Heaven and be with God and enter the
true Heavenly Sanctuary.
3

 Heb.

8:1, 2:
We have such an high priest, who is set on
the right hand of the throne of the Majesty
in the heavens;
2. A minister of the sanctuary, and of the
true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched,
and not man.

 Psalm

102:19
For he hath looked down from the height
of his sanctuary; from heaven did the
LORD behold the earth;

The Sanctuary:
To understand

the significance of the

Sanctuary we must study the earthly
Sanctuary as it was here on earth and see
the significance of all aspects of the
Sanctuary. We must see Jesus in the
Sanctuary. We will then be in a better
position to truly understand its real
significance and how it relates to our
eternal salvation.
6

Psalm

77:13:
Thy way, O God, [is] in the sanctuary:
who [is so] great a God as [our] God?

 The

Sanctuary had three compartments,

each of which contained different pieces of
furniture, all filled with deep meaning and
symbolism.

The Courtyard
In

the courtyard was

the ALTAR OF
BURNT OFFERINGS
(Exodus 27:1-8) ; the
LAVER (for washing,
Exo. 30:18-21); and
the sanctuary building
itself. The courtyard
fence was made of
white linen supported
by 60 pillars (Exo.
27:9)
9

The Holy Place

Inside the Holy Place

were:
1.Table of Shewbread
(Ex. 25:23-30) = Jesus,
The bread of life
(1 Cor. 11:24,25)
represents our
dependence on God for
physical and spiritual food.

10

The Holy Place

2. Candlestick (Ex.
25:31-40) = Jesus, the
light of the world (John
8:12).

3.Altar of Incense

(Ex. 30:1-9).

11

The Most Holy Place

The

ark of the
Covenant: was a
chest overlaid with
gold. The cover was
called the Mercy Seat
(Ex. 25:17-22). On it
were carved angels of
gold. Between the
angels dwelt the
presence of God.
12

The Most Holy Place

Inside

the ark were the

10 commandments,
written on tables of
stone (Deut. 10:4,5).
The ark demonstrated
both mercy & law. The
law must be kept, but
God promises mercy
for His people who
break it.
13

 The

Sanctuary was set up in order to

provide the institution through which the
sacrificial system could be effected; that
system pointed to Jesus Christ and when
Jesus came the sacrificing of animals for
sins was over because the sacrifices all
pointed to Jesus death, the one who
would be the true Passover Lamb.

14

 Heb.

10:4 6:
For [it is] not possible that the blood of
bulls and of goats should take away sins.
10:5 Wherefore when he cometh into the
world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou
wouldest not, but a body hast thou
prepared me:
10:6 In burnt offerings and [sacrifices] for
sin thou hast had no pleasure.
15

16

17

 Matthew

27:50, 51
50 Jesus, when he had cried again with a
loud voice, yielded up the ghost.
51 And, behold, the veil of the temple was
rent in twain from the top to the bottom;
and the earth did quake, and the rocks
rent;
18

19

20

21

 When

Jesus ascended to Heaven He

entered another phase of His ministry for
the redemption of mankind. He became
our Heavenly High Priest!

Heb. 9:11:
But Christ 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;
22

 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].
9:13 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:
9:14 How much more shall the blood of
Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered
himself without spot to God, purge your
conscience from dead works to serve the
living God?
23

WHAT HAPPENED IN JESUS

HEAVENLY HIGH PRIESTLY
MINISTRY TO MARK AN
EXTREMELY IMPORTANT
TURNING POINT / ANOTHER
PHASE OF HIS MINISTRY?
24

25

 The

Bible makes it clear that after 2300

days (years) the Sanctuary would be
cleansed
This meant that at the end of the 2300
years prophecy Jesus would enter a new
phase of His Heavenly High Priestly
Ministry
He would enter the Most Holy Place or,
the Holy of Holies in the Heavenly
Sanctuary
And the Investigative Judgment began
26

27

28

9:25 Nor yet that he should offer

himself often, as the high priest
entereth into the holy place every
year with blood of others;
9:26 For then must he often have
suffered since the foundation of the
world: but now once in the end of
the world hath he appeared to put
away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

 Rev.

20:12:
And I saw the dead, small and great, stand
before God; 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.

36

38

39

40

41

42

We will be judged by the Law of

God; the law will be the standard:
James 2:12 So speak ye, and so
do, as they that shall be judged by
the law of liberty.
43

44

45

 Rev.

14:12:
Here is the patience of the saints: here [are] they
that keep the commandments of God, and the
faith of Jesus.
Since the standard by which we are judged is the
ten commandments, those who are obedient to
God will overcome; their names will be written in
the Lambs Book of Life; Jesus will represent
them in the Judgment they have absolutely
nothing to worry about!
46

1 John 2:1 My little children,

these things write I unto you,
that ye sin not. And if any man
sin, we have an ADVOCATE
with the Father, Jesus Christ
the righteous:
2:2 And he is the propitiation
for our sins: and not for ours
only, but also for [the sins of]
the whole world.
2:3 And hereby we do know
that we know him, if we keep
his commandments.

47

 Rev.

22:12:
And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward
[is] with me, to give every man according
as his work shall be.

49

HEBREWS 10:37 For yet a little while,

and he that shall come will come, and will
not tarry.

JESUS IS COMING SOON!

50

JESUS HIGH PRIESTLY MINISTRY WILL SOON END

51

 1 Tim.

2:5
For [there is] one God, and one
MEDIATOR between God and men, the
man Christ Jesus;

52

 Heb.

8:1
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;

53

 Heb.

4:15
For we have not an high priest which
cannot be touched with the feeling of our
infirmities; but was in all points tempted
like as [we are, yet] without sin.

54

 Jesus

loved us and died for us He

finished that important phase of our
redemption when He gave His life on the
cross as the Lamb of God that takes away
the sins of the world (John 1:29)

John

19:30:
When Jesus therefore had received the
vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he
bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.
55

FRIEND, JUST AS JESUS FINISHED THE EARTHLY PHASE OF HIS

MINISTRY HE WILL FINISH HIS HEAVENLY HIGH PRIESTLY MINISTRY
IN HEAVEN SOON.

56

 Revelation

22: 11, 12: (Jesus will say):

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.
22:12 And, behold, I come quickly; and
my reward [is] with me, to give every man
according as his work shall be.

JESUS HAS DONE EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO

SAVE US AND HE WANTS EVERY ONE OF US
61
TO BE SAVED! (John 3:16, 17)

DO YOU WANT JESUS TO BE YOUR ADVOCATE AND

MEDIATOR IN THE JUDGMENT?
