"God is a God of justice,
---and before either the sins of the faithful
---or the names of the unfaithful are blotted from the books of heaven, (Rev. 3:5) there will be an examination of the records,–an investigative judgment.
The service in the second apartment of the sanctuary was a type of this work.
When men and angels were placed on probation, a time of judgment was appointed when they would be judged.
---The resurrection of Christ is a pledge, or assurance, of the judgment. God "hath appointed a day, in the which He will judge the world in righteousness, by that man whom He hath ordained; whereof He hath given assurance unto all men, in that He hath raised Him from the dead." (Acts 17:31)"

The service in the second apartment of the sanctuary was a type of this work.
It was called the day of atonement,
or the cleansing of the sanctuary.
The record states: "On that day shall the priest make an atonement for you, to cleanse you, that ye may be clean from all your sins before the Lord." (Lev. 16:30).When men and angels were placed on probation, a time of judgment was appointed when they would be judged.
