"The heavenly Sanctuary is like the earthly in that,
(3.) It is cleansed.
Dan.8:14; Lev.17:11
---And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the 
sanctuary be cleansed.....For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.
(with blood:)
Heb.9:11,12,23,24.
---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; 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. It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:"
Uriah Smith
