....and the priest shall make an atonement for them, and it shall be forgiven them.
Leviticus 4:20
"The first phase of Christ's atonement was that of a suffering sacrifice.
This began before the world was, included
--the incarnation,
--Christ's life on earth,
--the temptation in the wilderness,
--Gethsemane,
--Golgotha,
--and ended when God's voice called Christ from death.
After His ascension our Saviour began His work as High Priest.
In harmony with the typical service He began His ministration in the holy place, and at the termination of the prophetic days in 1844. . . He entered the most holy to perform the last division of His solemn work, to cleanse the sanctuary."
