一圣所的真理

1引言*

1883年，怀爱伦论到新兴的基督复临安息日会在主复临之前所必须成就的工作时说： {CIHS 3.1}

“信徒们的心要专注于天上的圣所，基督已进入那里开始为祂的子民赎罪。”(1SM.67){CIHS 3.2}

在1906年的危机中，安息日复临信徒的一些基本要道受到了威胁，怀爱伦写道：{CIHS 3.3}

“正确理解天上圣所中的侍奉，是我们信仰的基础。”(Ev 221){CIHS 3.4}

2二千三百日的终点

在构成十九世纪三十年代和四十年代初复临奋兴运动基础的预言中，有《但以理书》8:14：“到二千三百日，圣所就必洁净。”怀爱伦经历了这一时期，就这段预言的应用说明如下： {CIHS 3.5}

“那时，复临运动的信徒与一般教会抱有相同的见解，以为这个地球或其上的某一部分就是圣所。所以他们认为洁净圣所就是末后大日用火洁净全地，并且这件事要在基督复临的时候实现。因此，他们得出结论说，基督要在一八四四年复临”。(GC 409) {CIHS 3.6}

这一预言时期于1844年10月22日结束。那些盼望在那一天见到他们的主的人大失所望。海勒姆·埃德森是纽约州中部一位严谨的圣经学者。作为复临信徒的一分子，他描述了他们中所发生的事: {CIHS 4.1}

“我们的期望很高，我们就这样盼望我们的主来临，直到钟声敲过了午夜12点。这日已过，我们的失望已成定局。我们至爱的盼望和期待成了泡影，一种我以前从未体验过的哭泣之灵漫过了我们。似乎失去了世上所有的朋友也不能与之相比。我们哭了又哭，直到黎明。……{CIHS 4.2}

“我心中沉思: ‘在我全部的基督徒经验中，参与复临运动的经历是最光明的。……难道圣经错了?难道没有上帝，没有天堂，没有金城，没有乐园?难道这一切不过是一个巧妙设计的寓言?难道我们至爱的盼望和期待毫不现实?’…… {CIHS 4.3}

“我开始觉得在我们的悲痛中可能会得到亮光和帮助。我对弟兄中的一些人说: ‘我们到谷仓去吧。’我们进了谷仓，关上周围的门，跪在上帝面前。我们恳切地祷告，因为意识到了我们的需要。我们不断地恳切祈祷直到蒙赐予了圣灵的见证，我们的祷告已蒙悦纳，而且将蒙赐予亮光，清楚而令人满意地解释我们所遭遇的失望。CIHS 4.4}

“早餐后我对我弟兄中的一位说：‘我们出去看望并鼓励我们的一些弟兄们吧。'我们出发了，当经过一大块地时，约在这地的中央我被止住了脚步。天似乎向我敞开了，我清楚而明白地看到在2300日的终点,7月初十日，我们的大祭司并不是出离了天上圣所的至圣所来到这个地球，而是在那天第一次进入了天上圣所的第二层。祂来到地上之前在至圣所里有一项工作要完成。祂来娶亲，换句话说，就是来到亘古常在者面前，接受国度、权柄和荣耀;因此我们必须等候祂从婚礼回来。我的心被指向《启示录》第十章，在那里我看到这异象已讲述过，并非虚言。”(未发表的文稿，部分发表在《评论与通讯》1921年6月23日) {CIHS 4.5}

随后海勒姆·埃德森和两个亲密的同伴，F. B.哈恩博士，一位医生，和O. R. L.克洛泽，一位教师，仔细地查考了关于这个题目的经文，特别是《希伯来书》。这一共同研究的成果由克洛泽写下来并发表了，先是在一份销路不广的报纸《拂晓》上，后来又重写并增大了篇幅，于1846年2月7日刊登在《晨星》的增刊上。这是一份发行范围更广的复临派期刊，在俄亥俄州的辛辛那提出版。通过这个媒介，许多失望的复临信徒看到了这篇文章。这篇较长的文章，藉着经文的有力支持，给复临信徒带来了希望和勇气，因为它清楚地说明了在2300日的终点要洁净的圣所是在天上，而不是在地上，像他们从前所认为的那样。{CIHS 5.1}

*注：引言是怀爱伦著作托管委员会办公室认真撰写的，为安息日复临信徒研究、理解和教导所选择怀爱伦著作中圣所的真理提供了历史背景。

怀爱伦在1847年4月21日的一份声明中，宣布赞同克罗泽关于圣所问题的文章:{CIHS 5.2}

“一年多前，主在异象中指示我，克罗泽弟兄拥有关于洁净圣所的真光。主的旨意是要让克弟兄把他在1846年2月7日《晨星》增刊上所发表的观点写出来。我得到主的充分授权，向每一位圣徒推荐那份增刊。”(WLF 12){CIHS 5.3}

后来她写到大失望之后教义理解的迅速发展说:{CIHS 5.4}

“1884年时间的过去，伴随着一系列重大的事件，在我们惊异的眼前展示了天上圣所的洁净，确定了上帝地上子民的关系。” (CW 30) {CIHS 5.5}

3一项由圣灵见证确定的真理

给怀爱伦的异象虽然没有在圣经研究之前赐下，却坚定了这一立场的可靠性，即1844年10月22日基督在天上圣所的侍奉工作进入了一个重要的阶段。这一主题的宽度和深度逐渐地呈现在复临信徒们面前。在后来的年岁中，怀爱伦回顾这一经历时，追忆了他们的研究和上帝圣手引领的明证: {CIHS 6.1}

“我们中的许多人没有认识到我们信仰的根基奠定得多么坚固。我丈夫，贝约瑟长老，皮尔斯老爹*，海勒姆·埃德森长老，以及其他睿智、高尚、真诚的人，都属于那些在1844年定期以后查考圣经如同寻找隐藏的珍宝的人。我和他们聚在一起，认真地研经祷告。我们经常聚集研究，一直到深夜，有时甚至整夜祷告和研究上帝的话语。这些弟兄一再聚在一起研究圣经，为了更了解其含意，以便作好准备，有力地将之教导他人。他们在研究的过程中，有时会遇到难点说：“我们不能做什么了，”主的灵便会临到我身上，我就会被带进异象，我们所研究之段落的清楚说明就会赐给我，并且指示我们该如何有效地作工和教导人。于是我们得着亮光，得以明白有关基督，祂的使命，和祂作大祭司的职分的经文。一系列从那时起直到我们进入上帝圣城时的真理，都清清楚楚地显明在我面前，于是我就把主所指示给我的传与他人。 {CIHS 6.2}

“在这整段时间里，我无法明白弟兄们的推论。我的心智好像被封锁起来，无法理解当时所研究的经文的意思。这是我一生中最大的遗憾之一。我的心智一直处在这种情况中，直到我们明白了我们信仰的全部要点都符合上帝的道。弟兄们既知道我若不在异象中就不能明白这些事，就将所得的启示接受为直接来自天上的亮光。”(1SM .206, 207){CIHS 7.1}

基督已进入天上的至圣所为我们作最后的服务。这是以古以色列人在圣所里所奉行的服务来预表的。这一认识使我们复临先驱们的心庄严肃穆。真理极为清晰、伟大、重要;所以他们很难意识到有责任将此亮光传给别人。怀爱伦写到他们的立场的确定性说:{CIHS 7.2}

“我们要在信仰和早期经验中所得的真理之光上建立起来。那时异端邪说纷至沓来;传道人和医师们提出了许多新的道理。我们就多多祷告查经，圣灵便将真理引到我们的心内。有时我们整夜切心查经，恳求上帝的指引。许多虔诚的男女专为此事而聚集。上帝的能力降在我身上，我就能清楚地界定什么是真理什么是谬论。{CIHS 7.3}

“我们信仰的各点既然这样建立，我们的脚就站在坚固的根基上了。我们在圣灵的指示之下，一点一点地领受真理。我被提进异象中，就得到解释。我见到天上的事和圣所的说明，这样，我们就处在有清楚明白的光所照耀的地位上了。{CIHS 7.4}

“我知道圣所的道理是根据公义与真理的，正如我们多年来所信守的一般。”(GW 302, 303){CIHS 8.1}

这一运动的先驱们看到了圣所的真理是安息日复临信徒全部教义结构的基础。怀雅各在1850年重新发表了O.R.L.克罗泽关于这一主题初次论述的精华部分，并解释说: {CIHS 8.2}

“务要仔细查考圣所的题目，因为它是我们信心和盼望的根基。”(《复临评论》特刊.){CIHS 8.3}

* 注：这里以回忆的口吻提到先驱中年老的弟兄们。皮尔斯老爹指司提反·皮尔斯，他在早期从事传道和行政工作。

4圣所与安息日

在见到天上圣所异象的背景下，怀爱伦于1847年4月3日在緬因州托普瑟姆豪兰的家里得到了确立安息日真理的异象。她就此写道: {CIHS 8.4}

“我们感到了一种非同寻常的祈祷的精神。当我们祷告的时候，圣灵就降在我们身上了，我们都非常地快乐。过不久，我就对地上的事物失去了知觉，而为上帝荣耀的异象所包围了。我看到一位天使迅速地飞来。他很快地将我从地上带到圣城。在城内我看见一座圣殿，便走进去。我先经过一道门，然后就来到头一层幔子那里，这幔子被掀起之后，我便走进了圣所。在这里我看见香坛，有七盏灯的灯台和摆着陈设饼的桌子。在我瞻仰了圣所的荣耀之后，耶稣就掀起第二层幔子，我便走进了至圣所。{CIHS 8.5}

“我在至圣所里看见一个约柜;约柜的盖子和四边都是纯金的。约柜的两端各有一位可爱的基路伯，伸展着翅膀遮盖约柜。他们的脸彼此相向，朝下垂看。在两位天使之间有一个金香炉。在约柜的上方，就是天使站立的地方，有一种极其明亮辉煌的荣耀，好像上帝所居住的宝座。耶稣站在约柜旁边，当圣徒的祈祷上升时到祂那里时，香炉里的香就冒出烟来，祂就将他们的祈祷连同香炉的烟云一同献在祂父的面前。约柜里有一个盛着吗哪的金罐，又有亚伦发过芽的杖，和两块能像书本合起来的石版。耶稣将石版打开来，我就看见上帝亲手所写的十条诫命。一块上面写着四条，另一块上面写着六条。那第一块石版的四条焕发着比那六条更亮的光辉，但第四条，就是安息日的诫命，又比其他各条更光亮;因为安息日乃是被分别出来的，要被遵守以尊荣上帝圣名的。圣安息日看上去是光辉灿烂的——有一道荣耀的光环环绕着它。我看出安息日的诫命并没有被钉在十字架上。如果有的话，那么其他九条也同样被钉了;而且我们也可以随意干犯它们，像干犯第四条一样。我看出上帝没有改变安息日，因为祂是永不改变的。”(EW. 32, 33) {CIHS 8.6}

5圣所的真理经受考验

当有人清楚的看到了上帝律法的要求并开始照上帝的律法遵守第七日安息日的时候，他们遇到了强烈的反对。对此及其原因，怀爱伦解释说:{CIHS 9.1}

“敌人多次努力想要推翻他们的信仰。人人都能看出，如果这地上的圣所真是天上圣所的表样和模型，那么地上约柜中所藏的律法，自必也是天上约柜的律法的真确副本了;并且人若接受这有关天上圣所的真理，他也不得不承认上帝律法的要求，以及遵守第四诫安息日的义务。正因为人们反对这种真理，所以他们对于圣经内有关基督在天上圣所中服务的前后一贯的解释，也就进行剧烈而坚决的反对。”(GC 435){CIHS 9.2}

怪不得那些在后来的岁月中背叛了基督复临安息日会的人会反对圣所的真理。比如爱荷华州区会的职员斯努克长老和布林克霍夫长老。他们是1860年代中期退出的。还有D.M.坎莱特，他是一名有影响力的传道人，于1887年离开了基督复临安息日会，成了一个苦毒的敌人和批评者。也怪不得在世纪之交，一些医务和传道人员接受并提倡泛神论的观点，直接打击这一基本教义。在这样的背景下，怀爱伦于1905年11月20日写下了警告的话语: {CIHS 9.3}

“我要对那些已经得到过警告，却仍一直就饮于科学诡辩和迷人传说的医疗布道士和传道人说，你们的灵魂正处在危险中。必须让世人知道你们站在哪里，而安息日复临信徒又站在哪里。上帝呼召所有已接受这些毁灭灵魂之蛊惑的人不要再心持两意。若耶和华是上帝，就当顺从耶和华。{CIHS 10.1}

“撒但和他的全军都已上阵。基督的军兵现在要集结在以马内利血染的旌旗周围，奉上主之名，离开黑暗之君的黑旗，站在天国的君王一边。{CIHS 10.2}

“‘有耳的可听的，就应当听。’要阅读你的圣经。来自更高之处，遵照上帝赐予我的指示，我将这些事摆列在你们面前。时候迫近了，撒但党羽的欺骗势力要充分发展。一方面是已获得天上地下所有权柄的基督。另一方面的撒但则不断施展其魅力，用强大的招魂术的种种诡辩来欺骗人，想将上帝从人心中应有的地位排挤出去。{CIHS 10.3}

“撒但不断竭力散布有关圣所的荒唐理论，贬低对上帝和基督拯救我们之工的美好表述，以迎合人属肉体的心。他从信徒心中排斥真理的主导地位，代之以他发明的荒唐理论，破坏救赎真理的效果，和我们对从第三位天使信息初传以来所持神圣真理的信心。他就这样剥夺我们对于信息的信念。这信息使我们成为特殊的子民，并赋予我们的工作以特色和能力。”(SpTB, 07. 16,17) {CIHS 10.4}

正是在这一泛神论危机的背景之下，怀爱伦出席了1905年的总会会议，宣告了对我们现今有重要意义的话语:{CIHS 11.1}

“将来会有各种骗局出现。我们需要坚固的立足之地，需要建筑的坚固柱石。上帝建立的，一根钉子也不可挪动。仇敌要带着谬论而来，比如说主张没有圣所。这就偏离了我们的信仰。要不是上帝在过去五十年赐给我们的真理，我们到哪里去寻找平安之所?”(CW 53){CIHS 11.2}

怀爱伦断言，一些人所热心提倡的泛神论必"使人离弃上帝" (STSB, 07.16)并使圣所的真理归于无效。{CIHS 11.3}

约在同时，我们的传道人中的一位，不妨称他为“G长老”，主张基督完成祂地上的服务返回天庭时，就到了上帝面前。由于上帝所在的地方必是至圣所，因此并不象我们所相信并教导的，基督是在1844年10月22日进入了天上圣所的至圣所。这两种观念都打击了我们所持守的圣所道理，致使怀爱伦几次提到圣所信仰的稳固与完整性。她在1904年写道: {CIHS 11.4}

“上帝的子民不应在言行上使任何人对上帝鲜明的个性，或者关于圣所及其崇事有怀疑。{CIHS 11.5}

“我们都需要时刻记住圣所的题目。天上有一个圣所，而且这个圣所曾在地上有一个模型，千万不要随便发言，削弱我们的人对这个真理的信心。上帝希望祂的子民能熟悉这个模型，经常想到天上的圣所，在那里上帝统治并贯乎万有。我们务须藉着祷告和读经牢牢保守我们的心，从而掌握这些真理。”(Lt. 1904.233) {CIHS 11.6}

6仅仅通过误用经文来支持的论点

怀爱伦在1905年的著述中，特别针对“G长老”破坏对于圣所真理的信心的工作，指出了他错用经文根据的谬误以及我们对圣所真理理解的可靠性。她如此说: {CIHS 12.1}

“我一直在恳求主赐我力量和智慧，好再现在信仰和这信息的早期历史上坚定的见证人们的著作。1844年的定期过去之后，他们领受了亮光并且行在光中，而当自称拥有新亮光的人要带着他们关于圣经不同要点的惊人信息进来时，我们藉着圣灵的感动，拥有中肯的证言，断绝了G长老一直致力于传讲的那种信息的影响。这个可怜的人一直在坚决地反对圣灵已证实的真理。{CIHS 12.2}

“当上帝的大能证明何为真理时，那真理就会永远立定。后来与上帝所赐亮光相反的种种臆测都不可接受。将有人起来解释圣经，自以为是真理，其实不是真理。上帝已经赐给我们现代的真理，作为我们信仰的根基。祂亲自教导我们什么是真理。将会有接二连三的人起来，倡导与上帝藉圣灵的明证所赐下的亮光相矛盾的所谓新亮光。经历了现代真理奠定阶段的人中，还有一些健在。上帝惠赐他们长寿，可以反复重述真理直到他们生命的结束。他们的经历就如使徒约翰一样，见证到最后一刻。至于那些已经逝世的旗手，应该藉着重印他们的著作，让他们继续说话。我蒙指示，他们的声音要让人听到。要让他们为现代的真理继续作证。{CIHS 12.3}

“不要接受那些带来一道与我们信仰的特殊要点相矛盾的信息之人的话。他们收集了一大堆经文，堆砌为他们所倡导之学说的证据。在过去五十年里，一再有这样的事发生。圣经是上帝的话，应该得到尊重。但是滥用经文，从上帝在五十年里所奠定的根基上挪移柱石，乃是严重的错误。这样滥用圣经的人根本不明白圣灵的奇妙显现如何给过去赐予上帝子民的信息带来能力。{CIHS 13.1}

“G长老的证据是不可靠的，若予接受，就会破坏上帝的子民对已使我们成了何等人的真理的信心。{CIHS 13.2}

“我们在这个问题上必须坚定;因为他试图藉圣经证明的那些要点并不合理。他的论点不能证明上帝的子民过去的经验是一个错误。我们拥有真理;我们受了上帝天使的指导。圣所问题的表述是在圣灵的指导之下做出的。关于他们所没有参与的我们信仰的特色，保持沉默便是每一个人的雄辩。上帝决不自相矛盾。若是去强证并不真实的东西，圣经的证据就被误用了。会有一个接一个的人起来，引进自以为的大光，作出他们的主张。但我们支持古老的界标。”(1SM.160-162){CIHS 13.3}

7肯定天上圣所的真实性

我们屡次看到怀爱伦的著作讲到天上圣所的真实性，里面的设施，以及它的崇事。其中之一写于1880年，她描述了复临信徒在大失望之后的经历: {CIHS 13.4}

“他们在查考的时候，明白了摩西从前奉上帝的命令照祂在山上指示的样式所建造的地上的圣所，乃是“现今的一个表样;……献……礼物和祭物。”而其中的圣所和至圣所乃是“照天上样式作的物件”。我们的大祭司基督现今“在圣所，就是真帐幕里，作执事;这帐幕是主所支的，不是人所支的” (来9:9;23; 8:2)。……{CIHS 14.1}

“这个有耶稣在里面为我们服务的天上的圣所乃是伟大的原本。摩西所建造的圣所乃是一个副本。……{CIHS 14.2}

“地上圣所无比的辉煌壮丽，向世人反映出天上圣殿的光明灿烂。在那里，有我们的先锋基督站在上帝的宝座之前，为我们服务。{CIHS 14.3}

“正如地上的圣所分为两层，就是圣所和至圣所，天上的圣所也分成两层。地上圣所中藏有上帝律法的约柜，香坛和其他礼拜的器具，在天上的圣所中也有相应的真品。使徒约翰在圣洁的异象中蒙允许进入天国，看见灯台和香坛，看见‘上帝天上的殿开了’，还看见‘祂的约柜’(启4:5;8:3;11:19){CIHS 14.4}

“这样，那些寻求真理的人得到了一个无法辩驳的凭据，证明天上是有一个圣所的。摩西建造地上的圣所乃是按着那指示他的模型而造的。保罗也说，那模型就是天上的真圣所。约翰也作见证说，他曾见过这个天上的圣所。”(4SP.260, 261){CIHS 14.5}

之前她强调过圣所的设施: {CIHS 14.6}

“我又蒙指示看到地上那分为两层的圣所。它与天上的圣所相似，天使告诉我这就是天上圣所的模型。地上圣所第一层中的物件和天上圣所第一层的相同。幔子被提起来了，我便看到至圣所，看到其内的物件也和天上圣所之至圣所的相同。”(EW. 252, 253) {CIHS 14.7}

8天上圣所的约柜和律法

她在不同的场合讲到并写到天上圣所之至圣所里的约柜。其中之一是1886年她在瑞典托里罗的一次讲道中。{CIHS 15.1}

“我警告你，不要用你的影响来反对上帝的诫命。这律法与耶和华写在天上殿中的律法是一样的。人类可以践踏其在地上的副本，但其原版却保存在天上上帝的约柜中。在约柜的上面，就是律法的上方，是施恩座。耶稣站在约拒前为人类代求。”(1BC.1109){CIHS 15.2}

在1903年，她再次写到了天上圣所的现实: {CIHS 15.3}

“关于圣所我可以讲很多;盛有上帝律法的约柜;约柜的盖子，即施恩座;约柜两头的天使;以及与天上圣所及大赎罪日有关的其它物件。关于天上的奥秘我可以讲很多;然而我的嘴唇闭上了。我不想描述它们。”(Lt.1903.253){CIHS 15.4}

9末日欺骗将涉及重要的真理

显然在这末时，我们的仇敌撒但必设法扰乱上帝的子民对圣所道理的信心。怀爱伦写道: {CIHS 15.5}

“救主曾预言末后的日子会有假先知出现，拉拢门徒跟从他们;而且那些在这危险的时期应该忠心坚持《启示录》书中所详细说明的真理的人，将不得不对付十分似是而非的谬论，以致倘若可能，连选民也会被迷惑。{CIHS 15.6}

“上帝希望让每一个真正的观点获胜。撒但能巧妙地与许多人玩生命的游戏。他以最隐密、最具欺骗性的方式破坏上帝子民的信心，使他们气馁灰心。……他现今仍象在天上时一样作工，在这世界历史的最后阶段要使上帝的子民分裂。他努力制造纷争不和，引起争辩和议论，尽力移走交给上帝子民的古老界标。他设法让主看上去是自相矛盾的。{CIHS 16.1}

“撒但将人收进他的网罗，欺骗他们的时候，是以光明天使的面貌出现的。那些自称假装受上帝教导的人，会采纳虚妄的理论。他们的教训充满这些谬论，引进种种邪恶的诱惑。撒但就这样被介绍为一个光明的天使，有机会提出他乖巧捏造、讨人喜欢的虚言。{CIHS 16.2}

“我们必须对付这些假先知。他们会设法欺骗许多人，引诱他们接受错误的理论。许多经文会被误用，使欺骗性的理论看起来似乎有上帝圣言的依据。宝贵的真理会被用来支持和证实谬道。这些假先知自称接受上帝的教导，把曾用来装饰真理的美好经文拿过来，作为一件义袍，遮盖错误危险的理论。甚至有一些主在过去曾尊荣过的人，会离开真理，在真道的许多方面，包括圣所问题上，鼓吹误导人的理论。”(Ms. 1906.11){CIHS 16.3}

几周后，关于正确理解圣所真理的重要性，她补充说: {CIHS 16.4}

“我知道圣所的道理是根据公义与真理的，正如我们多年来所信守的一般。但仇敌却引诱人心转入岔路。当明白真理的人正全神搜集经文来助长那无真理根基的的异端之时，仇敌就喜欢了。那样引用经文乃是误用。因为圣经本是赐下来加强真理，而不是支持异端的。”(GW.303) {CIHS 16.5}

10注目于圣所

在任何时候我们都不应忽略天上圣所中正在为我们进行的重要工作。我们蒙劝诫说: {CIHS 17.1}

“我们作为一班子民，应当认真研究预言，不探明但以理和约翰的异象所显示的圣所题目，就决不罢休。这个题目给我们眼前的地位与工作带来了极大的亮光，给了我们无误的证据，证明上帝已在我们过去的经验中领导我们。它解释了我们一八四四年的大失望，向我们显明被洁净的圣所不是我们所想象地上的圣所;基督那时进入天上的至圣所，履行祂祭司职分的最后工作，应验了天使向先知但以理所说的话：‘到二千三百日，圣所就必洁净。’{CIHS 17.2}

“我们关于第一、第二和第三位天使信息的信念是正确的。我们所经过的大路标也是不可移动的。虽然阴间的众军想把那些路标从基础上拔除，并自以为成功了，但实际上并没有成功。这些真理的柱石要坚立如永恒的山冈，是世人的一切努力加上撒但及其党羽的力量所无法动摇的。我们可以多多学习，不断地查考圣经，看看事情是否如此。上帝的子民现在应定睛于天上的圣所;我们的大祭司正在那里进行审判的最后工作，为祂的子民代求。”(Ev 222, 223){CIHS 17.3}

11这本小册子

除了少许脚注和每章之后的思考题之外，所有材料均来自怀爱伦著作，主要取自《先祖与先知》和《善恶之争》的章节。还有一些相关的材料取自已出版的各部怀著。每一取材均提供了出处。由于大部分读者手头都有怀爱伦著作，为简洁起见，本书似乎不必包含与"基督在祂的圣所里"这一主题不直接相关的章节内容。{CIHS 18.1}

怀爱伦著作托管委员会 {CIHS 18.2}

“The subject of the sanctuary and the investigative judgment should be clearly understood by the people of God.”—The Great Controversy, 488.{CIHS 1.1}

“I know that the sanctuary question stands in righteousness and truth, just as we have held it for so many years. It is the enemy that leads minds off on sidetracks. He is pleased when those who know the truth become engrossed in collecting scriptures to pile around erroneous theories, which have no foundation in truth. The scriptures thus used are misapplied; they were not given to substantiate error, but to strengthen truth.”—Gospel Workers, 303.{CIHS 1.2}

An Introduction* Writing of what must be accomplished by the emerging Seventh-day Adventist Church before the Lord shall come, Ellen G. White in 1883 said:{CIHS 3.1}

“The minds of believers were to be directed to the heavenly sanctuary, where Christ had entered to make atonement for His people.”—Selected Messages, 1:67.{CIHS 3.2}

In a crisis in 1906, in which certain of the basic teachings of Seventh-day Adventists were threatened, she wrote:{CIHS 3.3}

“The correct understanding of the ministration in the heavenly sanctuary is the foundation of our faith.”—Evangelism, 221.{CIHS 3.4}

The End of the 2300 Days Among the prophecies forming the foundation of the advent awakening of the 1830’s and the early 1840’s was the prophecy of Daniel 8:14: “Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.” Ellen White, who passed through the experience, explains concerning the application of this prophecy:{CIHS 3.5}

“In common with the rest of the Christian world, Adventists then held that the earth, or some portion of it, was the sanctuary. They understood that the cleansing of the sanctuary was the purification of the earth by the fires of the last great day, and that this would take place at the second advent. Hence the conclusion that Christ would return to the earth in 1844.”—The Great Controversy, 409.{CIHS 3.6}

This prophetic period came to its close on October 22, 1844. The disappointment to those who expected to meet their Lord on that day was great. Hiram Edson, a careful Bible student in mid-New York State, describes what took place among the company of believers of which he was a part:{CIHS 4.1}

“Our expectations were raised high, and thus we looked for our coming Lord until the clock tolled twelve at midnight. The day had then passed, and our disappointment had become a certainty. Our fondest hopes and expectations were blasted, and such a spirit of weeping came over us as I never experienced before. It seemed that the loss of all earthly friends could have been no comparison. We wept and wept, till the day dawn....{CIHS 4.2}

“I mused in my heart, saying: ‘My advent experience has been the brightest of all my Christian experience.... Has the Bible proved a failure? Is there no God, no heaven, no golden city, no Paradise? Is all this but a cunningly devised fable? Is there no reality to our fondest hopes and expectations?’...{CIHS 4.3}

“I began to feel there might be light and help for us in our distress. I said to some of the brethren: ‘Let us go to the barn.’ We entered the granary, shut the doors about us, and bowed before the Lord. We prayed earnestly, for we felt our necessity. We continued in earnest prayer until the witness of the Spirit was given that our prayers were accepted, and that light should be given—our disappointment explained, made clear and satisfactory.{CIHS 4.4}

“After breakfast I said to one of my brethren, ‘Let us go and see and encourage some of our brethren.’ We started, and while passing through a large field, I was stopped about midway of the field. Heaven seemed open to my view, and I saw distinctly and clearly that instead of our High Priest coining 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 that 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; that He came to the marriage, or in other words, to the Ancient of Days, to receive a kingdom, dominion, and glory; and that we must wait for His return from the wedding. And my mind was directed to the tenth chapter of Revelation, where I could see the vision had spoken and did not lie.”—Unpublished manuscript published in part in?The Review and Herald, June 23, 1921.{CIHS 4.5}

There followed a careful investigation of the scriptures that touched on this subject—particularly those in Hebrews—by Hiram Edson and two close associates, Dr. F. B. Hahn, a physician, and O. R. L. Crosier, a teacher. The result of this joint study was written up by Crosier and was published, first in The Day Dawn, a paper of limited circulation, and then in rewritten and enlarged form in a special issue of the Day-Star, on February 7, 1846. This was a more widely read Adventist journal, published at Cincinnati, Ohio. Through this medium it reached a number of the disappointed Advent believers. The rather lengthy presentation, well supported by Scripture, brought hope and courage to their hearts as it clearly showed that the sanctuary to be cleansed at the end of the 2300 days is in heaven, and not on earth, as they had believed earlier.{CIHS 5.1} >Ellen G. White, in a statement written on April 21, 1847, declared in endorsement of the Crosier article on the sanctuary question:{CIHS 5.2}

“The Lord showed me in vision, more than one year ago, that Brother Crosier had the true light, on the cleansing of the sanctuary, etc.; and that it was His will, that Brother Crosier should write out the view which he gave us in the Day-Star Extra, February 7, 1846. I feel fully authorized by the Lord, to recommend that Extra, to every saint.”—A Word to the Little Flock, 12.{CIHS 5.3}

At a later time she wrote of the rapid development of doctrinal understanding which followed the disappointment:{CIHS 5.4}

“The passing of the time in 1844 was a period of great events,opening to our astonished eyes the cleansing of the sanctuary transpiring in heaven, and having decided relation to God’s people upon the earth.”Manuscript 13, 1889, published inCounsels to Writers and Editors, 30.{CIHS 5.5}

A Truth Established by the Witness of the Holy Spirit The visions given to Ellen White, while not running ahead of Bible study, confirmed the soundness of the position that an important phase of Christ’s ministry in the heavenly sanctuary was entered upon on October 22, 1844. Gradually the breadth and depth of the subject opened before the Advent believers. Looking back on the experience in later years, she recalled their study and the manifest evidences of God’s guiding hand:{CIHS 6.1}

“Many of our people do not realize how firmly the foundation of our faith has been laid. My husband, Elder Joseph Bates, Father Pierce,*?Elder [Hiram] Edson, and others who were keen, noble, and true, were among those who, after the passing of the time in 1844, searched for the truth as for hidden treasure. I met with them, and we studied and prayed earnestly. Often we remained together until late at night, and sometimes through the entire night, praying for light and studying the Word. Again and again these brethren came together to study the Bible, in order that they might know its meaning, and be prepared to teach it with power. When they came to the point in their study where they said, ‘We can do nothing more,’ the Spirit of the Lord would come upon me, I would be taken off in vision, and a clear explanation of the passages we had been studying would be given me, with instruction as to how we were to labor and teach effectively. Thus light was given that helped us to understand the scriptures in regard to Christ, His mission, and His priesthood. A line of truth extending from that time to the time when we shall?enter the City of God, was made plain to me, and I gave to others the instruction that the Lord had given me.{CIHS 6.2}

“During this whole time I could not understand the reasoning of the brethren. My mind was locked, as it were, and I could not comprehend the meaning of the scriptures we were studying. This was one of the greatest sorrows of my life. I was in this condition of mind until all the principal points of our faith were made clear to our minds, in harmony with the Word of God. The brethren knew that when not in vision, I could not understand these matters, and they accepted as light direct from heaven the revelations given .”—Selected Messages, 1:206, 207.{CIHS 7.1}

The realization that Christ had entered the most holy place in the heavenly sanctuary to begin His closing ministry in our behalf, typified in the sanctuary service observed by Israel of old, solemnized the hearts of our pioneer Adventists. The truths were so clear, so grand, so vital, that it was difficult to sense that upon them rested the responsibility of imparting this light to others. Ellen White wrote of the certainty of their position:{CIHS 7.2}

“We are to be established in the faith, in the light of the truth given us in our early experience. At that time one error after another pressed in upon us; ministers and doctors brought in new doctrines. We would search the Scriptures with much prayer, and the Holy Spirit would bring the truth to our minds. Sometimes whole nights would be devoted to searching the Scriptures, and earnestly asking God for guidance. Companies of devoted men and women assembled for this purpose. The power of God would come upon me, and I was enabled clearly to define what is truth and what is error.{CIHS 7.3}

“As the points of our faith were thus established, our feet were placed upon a solid foundation. We accepted the truth point by point, under the demonstration of the Holy Spirit. I would be taken off in vision, and explanations would be given me. I was given illustrations of heavenly things, and of the sanctuary, so that we were placed where light was shining on us in clear, distinct rays.{CIHS 7.4}

“I know that the sanctuary question stands in righteousness and truth, just as we have held it for so many years.”—Gospel Workers, 302, 303.{CIHS 8.1}

The pioneers of the movement saw the sanctuary truth as basic to the whole structure of Seventh-day Adventist doctrine. James White, in 1850, republished the essential portions of the first presentation of the subject by O. R. L. Crosier, and commented:{CIHS 8.2}

“The subject of the sanctuary should be carefully examined, as it lies at the foundation of our faith and hope.”—The Advent Review (special combined number).{CIHS 8.3}

The Sanctuary and the Sabbath It was in the setting of a view of the heavenly sanctuary that the Sabbath truth was confirmed in the vision given to Ellen White on April 3, 1847, at the Howland home in Topsham, Maine. Of this she writes:{CIHS 8.4}

“We felt an unusual spirit of prayer. And as we prayed the Holy Ghost fell upon us. We were very happy. Soon I was lost to earthly things and was wrapped in a vision of God’s glory. I saw an angel flying swiftly to me. He quickly carried me from the earth to the Holy City. In the city I saw a temple, which I entered. I passed through a door before I came to the first veil. This veil was raised, and I passed into the holy place. Here I saw the altar of incense, the candlestick with seven lamps, and the table on which was the shewbread. After viewing the glory of the holy, Jesus raised the second veil and I passed into the holy of holies.{CIHS 8.5}

“In the holiest I saw an ark; on the top and sides of it was purest gold. On each end of the ark was a lovely cherub, with its wings spread out over it. Their faces were turned toward each other, and they looked downward. Between the angels was a golden censer. Above the ark, where the angels stood, was an exceeding bright glory, that appeared like a throne where God dwelt. Jesus stood by the ark, and as the saints’ prayers came up?to Him, the incense in the censer would smoke, and He would offer up their prayers with the smoke of the incense to His Father. In the ark was the golden pot of manna, Aaron’s rod that budded, and the tables of stone which folded together like a book. Jesus opened them, and I saw the Ten Commandments written on them with the finger of God. On one table were four, and on the other six. The four on the first table shone brighter than the other six. But the fourth, the Sabbath commandment, shone above them all; for the Sabbath was set apart to be kept in honor of God’s holy name. The holy Sabbath looked glorious—a halo of glory was all around it. I saw that the Sabbath commandment was not nailed to the cross. If it was, the other nine commandments were; and we are at liberty to break them all, as well as to break the fourth. I saw that God had not changed the Sabbath, for He never changes.”—Early Writings, 32, 33.{CIHS 8.6}

The Sanctuary Truth Under Fire While there were those who saw clearly the binding claims of God’s law and began to observe the Seventh-day Sabbath as set forth in the law of God, they encountered strong opposition. Of this and the reasons for it, Ellen White explains:{CIHS 9.1}

“Many and earnest were the efforts made to overthrow their faith. None could fail to see that if the earthly sanctuary was a figure or pattern of the heavenly, the law deposited in the ark on earth was an exact transcript of the law in the ark in heaven; and that an acceptance of the truth concerning the heavenly sanctuary involved an acknowledgment of the claims of God’s law, and the obligation of the Sabbath of the fourth commandment. Here was the secret of the bitter and determined opposition to the harmonious exposition of the Scriptures that revealed the ministration of Christ in the heavenly sanctuary.”—The Great Controversy, 435.{CIHS 9.2}

It is little wonder that those in subsequent years defecting from the Seventh-day Adventist Church should make the sanctuary truth a point of opposition. It was so with Elders Snook?and Brinkerhof, conference officers in Iowa, who withdrew in the middle 1860’s, and with D. M. Canright, an influential minister, who left the Seventh-day Adventist Church in 1887 to become a bitter enemy and critic. Nor is it strange that the pantheistic views at the turn of the century, espoused and advocated by both medical and ministerial workers, should strike directly at this fundamental doctrine. It was in this setting that Ellen White in warning words wrote on November 20, 1905:{CIHS 9.3}

“To those medical missionaries and ministers who have been drinking in the scientific sophistries and bewitching fables against which you have been warned, I would say, Your souls are in peril. The world must know where you are standing and where Seventh-day Adventists are standing. God calls for all who have accepted these soul-destroying delusions no longer to halt between two opinions. If the Lord be God, follow Him.{CIHS 10.1}

“Satan, with all his host is on the battlefield. Christ’s soldiers are now to rally round the bloodstained banner of Emmanuel. In the name of the Lord, leave the black banner of the prince of darkness, and take your position with the Prince of heaven.{CIHS 10.2}

“‘He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.’ Read your Bibles. From higher ground, under the instruction given me of God, I present these things before you. The time is near when the deceptive powers of satanic agencies will be fully developed. On one side is Christ, who has been given all power in heaven and earth. On the other side is Satan, continually exercising his power to allure, to deceive with strong, spiritualistic sophistries, to remove God out of the place that He should occupy in the minds of men.{CIHS 10.3}

“Satan is striving continually to bring in fanciful suppositions in regard to the sanctuary, degrading the wonderful representations of God and the ministry of Christ for our salvation into something that suits the carnal mind. He removes its presiding power from the hearts of believers, and supplies its place with fantastic theories invented to make void the truths of the atonement, and destroy our confidence in the doctrines which we have?held sacred since the third angel’s message was first given. Thus he would rob us of our faith in the very message that has made us a separate people, and has given character and power to our work.”—Special Testimonies, Series B, No. 7, pp. 16, 17.{CIHS 10.4}

It was in the setting of this pantheistic crisis that Ellen White, attending the General Conference session of 1905, declared in words significant to us today:{CIHS 11.1}

“In the future, deception of every kind is to arise, and we want solid ground for our feet. We want solid pillars for the building. Not one pin is to be removed from that which the Lord has established. The enemy will bring in false theories, such as the doctrine that there is no sanctuary. This is one of the points on which there will be a departing from the faith. Where shall we find safety unless it be in the truths that the Lord has been giving for the last fifty years?”—Counsels to Writers and Editors, 53.{CIHS 11.2}

The pantheistic views, so earnestly advocated by some, Ellen White declared, would “do away with God” (Special Testimonies, Series B, No. 7, p. 16) and invalidate the sanctuary truth.{CIHS 11.3}

At about the same time one of our ministers, whom we will identify as “Elder G,” espoused the view that when Christ went back to heaven after his ministry on earth, He went into the presence of God, and that where God is, must be the most holy place, therefore on October 22, 1844, there was no entering into the most holy place in the heavenly sanctuary as we believed and taught. These two concepts, both of which struck at the doctrine of the sanctuary as we held it, led Ellen White several times to refer to the soundness and integrity of this point of faith. In 1904 she wrote:{CIHS 11.4}

“They (the children of God) will not, by their words and acts, lead anyone to doubt in regard to the distinct personality of God, or in regard to the sanctuary and its ministry.{CIHS 11.5}

“We all need to keep the subject of the sanctuary in mind. God forbid that the clatter of words coming from human lips should lessen the belief of our people in the truth that there is a sanctuary?in heaven, and that a pattern of this sanctuary was once built on this earth. God desires His people to become familiar with this pattern, keeping ever before their minds the heavenly sanctuary, where God is all and in all. We must keep our minds braced by prayer and a study of God’s Word, that we may grasp these truths.”—E. G. White?Letter 233, 1904.{CIHS 11.6}

Points Sustained Only by Misused Scriptures Writing particularly of “Elder G’s” work in undermining confidence in the sanctuary truth in 1905, Ellen White pointed out the unsoundness of his use of Scripture evidence and the dependability of our understanding of the sanctuary truth. This is what she said:{CIHS 12.1}

“I have been pleading with the Lord for strength and wisdom to reproduce the writings of the witnesses who were confirmed in the faith and in the early history of the message. After the passing of the time in 1844 they received the light and walked in the light, and when the men claiming to have new light would come in with their wonderful messages regarding various points of Scripture, we had, through the moving of the Holy Spirit, testimonies right to the point, which cut off the influence of such messages as Elder G has been devoting his time to presenting. This poor man has been working decidedly against the truth that the Holy Spirit has confirmed.{CIHS 12.2}

“When the power of God testifies as to what is truth, that truth is to stand forever as the truth. No after suppositions contrary to the light God has given are to be entertained. Men will arise with interpretations of Scripture which are to them truth, but which are not truth. The truth for this time God has given us as a foundation for our faith. He Himself has taught us what is truth. One will arise, and still another, with new light, which contradicts the light that God has given under the demonstration of His Holy Spirit. A few are still alive who passed through the experience gained in the establishment of this truth. God has graciously spared their lives to repeat, and repeat till the close of their lives, the experience through which they passed even as did John the apostle till the very close of his life. And the standard-bearers who have fallen in death are to speak through the reprinting of their writings. I am instructed that thus their voices are to be heard. They are to bear their testimony as to what constitutes the truth for this time.{CIHS 12.3}

“We are not to receive the words of those who come with a message that contradicts the special points of our faith. They gather together a mass of Scripture, and pile it as proof around their asserted theories. This has been done over and over again during the past fifty years. And while the Scriptures are God’s Word, and are to be respected, the application of them, if such application moves one pillar from the foundation that God has sustained these fifty years, is a great mistake. He who makes such an application knows not the wonderful demonstration of the Holy Spirit that gave power and force to the past messages that have come to the people of God.{CIHS 13.1}

“Elder G’s proofs are not reliable. If received, they would destroy the faith of God’s people in the truth that has made us what we are.{CIHS 13.2}

“We must be decided on this subject; for the points that he is trying to prove by Scripture, are not sound. They do not prove that the past experience of God’s people was a fallacy. We had the truth; we were directed by the angels of God. It was under the guidance of the Holy Spirit that the presentation of the, sanctuary question was given. It is eloquence for everyone to keep silent in regard to the features of our faith in which they acted no part. God never contradicts Himself. Scripture proofs are misapplied if forced to testify to that which is not true. Another and still another will arise and bring in supposedly great light, and make their assertions. But we stand by the old landmarks.”—Selected Messages, 1:160-162.{CIHS 13.3}

The Reality of the Heavenly Sanctuary Affirmed Repeatedly we find in the Ellen G. White writings statements?on the reality of the heavenly sanctuary, its furnishings, and its ministry. One such was penned in the 1880’s as she described the experience of the Advent believers following the disappointment:{CIHS 13.4}

“In their investigation they learned, that the earthly sanctuary, built by Moses at the command of God, according to the pattern shown him in the mount, was ‘a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices;’ that its two holy places were ‘patterns of things in the heavens;’ that Christ, our great High Priest, is ‘a minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man.’...{CIHS 14.1}

“The sanctuary in heaven, in which Jesus ministers in our behalf, is the great original, of which the sanctuary built by Moses was a copy....{CIHS 14.2}

“The matchless splendor of the earthly tabernacle reflected to human vision the glories of that heavenly temple where Christ our forerunner ministers for us before the throne of God.{CIHS 14.3}

“As the sanctuary on earth had two apartments, the holy and the most holy, so there are two holy places in the sanctuary in heaven. And the ark containing the law of God, the altar of incense, and other instruments of service found in the sanctuary below, have also their counterpart in the sanctuary above. In holy vision the apostle John was permitted to enter heaven, and he there beheld the candlestick and the altar of incense, and as ‘the temple of God was opened,’ he beheld also ‘the ark of His testament.’ [Revelation 4:5;8:3;11:19.]{CIHS 14.4}

“Those who were seeking for the truth found indisputable proof of the existence of a sanctuary in heaven. Moses made the earthly sanctuary after a pattern which was shown him. Paul declares that that pattern was the true sanctuary which is in heaven. John testifies that he saw it in heaven.”—Spirit of Prophecy, 4:260, 261.{CIHS 14.5}

Earlier she had written with emphasis on the furniture:{CIHS 14.6}

“I was also shown a sanctuary upon the earth containing two apartments. It resembled the one in heaven, and I was told that it was a figure of the heavenly. The furniture of the first apartment of the earthly sanctuary was like that in the first apartment of the heavenly. The veil was lifted, and I looked into the holy of holies, and saw that the furniture was the same as in the most holy place in the heavenly sanctuary.”—Early Writings, 252, 253.{CIHS 14.7}

The Ark and the Law in the Heavenly Sanctuary On different occasions she spoke and wrote of the ark in the most holy place in the heavenly sanctuary. One such statement was made in a sermon preached in Torero, Sweden, in 1886.{CIHS 15.1}

“I warn you, Do not place your influence against God’s commandments. That law is just as Jehovah wrote it in the temple of heaven. Man may trample upon its copy here below, but the original is kept in the ark of God in heaven; and on the cover of this ark, right above that law, is the mercy seat. Jesus stands right there before that ark to mediate for man.”—Ellen G. White Comments, The S.D.A. Bible Commentary 1:1109.{CIHS 15.2}

And in 1903 she again wrote of the reality of the heavenly sanctuary:{CIHS 15.3}

“I could say much regarding the sanctuary; the ark containing the law of God; the cover of the ark, which is the mercy seat; the angels at either end of the ark; and other things connected with the heavenly sanctuary and with the great day of atonement. I could say much regarding the mysteries of heaven; but my lips are closed. I have no inclination to try to describe them.”—Ellen G. White?Letter 253, 1903.{CIHS 15.4}

Last-Day Delusions Will Involve Vital Truth It is clear that our adversary, Satan, will try to unsettle the faith of God’s people in the doctrine of the sanctuary in these “latter days.” Ellen White wrote:{CIHS 15.5}

“The Saviour foretold that in the latter days false prophets would appear, and draw away disciples after them; and also that those who in this time of peril should stand faithful to the truth that is specified in the book of Revelation, would have to meet?doctrinal errors so specious that, if it were possible, the very elect would be deceived.{CIHS 15.6}

“God would have every true sentiment prevail. Satan can skillfully play the game of life with many souls, and he acts in a most underhanded, deceptive manner to spoil the faith of the people of God and to discourage them. ... He works today as he worked in heaven—to divide the people of God in the very last stage of this earth’s history. He seeks to create dissension, and to arouse contention and discussion, and to remove if possible the old landmarks of truth committed to God’s people. He tries to make it appear as if the Lord contradicts Himself.{CIHS 16.1}

“It is when Satan appears as an angel of light, that he takes souls in his snare, deceiving them. Men who pretend to have been taught of God, will adopt fallacious theories, and in their teaching will so adorn these fallacies as to bring in Satanic delusions. Thus Satan will be introduced as an angel of light, and will have opportunity to present his pleasing fables.{CIHS 16.2}

“These false prophets will have to be met. They will make an effort to deceive many, by leading them to accept false theories. Many scriptures will be misapplied in such a way that deceptive theories will apparently be based upon the words that God has spoken. Precious truth will be appropriated to substantiate and establish error. These false prophets, who claim to be taught of God, will take beautiful scriptures that have been given to adorn the truth, and will use them as a robe of righteousness to cover false and dangerous theories. And even some of those who in times past the Lord has honored, will depart so far from the truth as to advocate misleading theories regarding many phases of truth, including the sanctuary question.”—Manuscript 11, 1906. (Emphasis supplied.){CIHS 16.3}

A few weeks later she added these words on the importance of a correct understanding of this truth:{CIHS 16.4}

“I know that the sanctuary question stands in righteousness and truth, just as we have held it for so many years. It is the enemy that leads minds off on sidetracks. He is pleased when?those who know the truth become engrossed in collecting scriptures to pile around erroneous theories, which have no foundation in truth. The scriptures thus used are misapplied; they were not given to substantiate error, but to strengthen truth.”—Gospel Workers, 303.{CIHS 16.5}

With Eyes Fixed on the Sanctuary At no time are we to lose sight of the important work being done in our behalf in the sanctuary in heaven. We are admonished:{CIHS 17.1}

“As a people, we should be earnest students of prophecy; we should not rest until we become intelligent in regard to the subject of the sanctuary, which is brought out in the visions of Daniel and John. This subject sheds great light on our present position and work, and gives us unmistakable proof that God has led us in our past experience. It explains our disappointment in 1844, showing us that the sanctuary to be cleansed was not the earth, as we had supposed, but that Christ then entered into the most holy apartment of the heavenly sanctuary, and is there performing the closing work of His priestly office, in fulfillment of the words of the angel to the prophet Daniel, ‘Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.’{CIHS 17.2}

“Our faith in reference to the messages of the first, second, and third angels was correct. The great waymarks we have passed are immovable. Although the hosts of hell may try to tear them from their foundation, and triumph in the thought that they have succeeded, yet they do not succeed. These pillars of truth stand firm as the eternal hills, unmoved by all the efforts of men combined with those of Satan and his host. We can learn much, and should be constantly searching the Scriptures to see if these things are so. God’s people are now to have their eyes fixed on the heavenly sanctuary, where the final ministration of our great High Priest in the work of the judgment is going forward,—where He is interceding for His people.”—Evangelism, 222, 223.{CIHS 17.3}

This Little Book Except for a few footnotes and the study questions which follow each chapter, the materials which follow are exclusively from the pen of Ellen G. White and consist primarily of chapters from?Patriarchs and Prophets?and The Great Controversy, with some bridging materials drawn together from various E. G. White published writings. In each case the source is given. As most readers will have at hand the E. G. White books, it has seemed unnecessary here, where brevity is desirable, to include portions of chapters not immediately relevant to the subject—Christ in His sanctuary.{CIHS 18.1}
