Autumn of 1844: Heavenly Scene

"In the autumn of 1844, when Jesus Christ stepped in before the throne of God within the most holy place the judgment proceedings began.

There are no words in the Bible that are more striking than those describing this judgment scene. “I beheld till the thrones were cast down (placed) and the Ancient of days did sit, whose
garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire.
A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened.” Daniel 7:9, 10.

---Consider what happened when this great court of God convened in heaven in the year 1844.
The first case would be that of Abel, who had been murdered by his brother Cain, for he was the first man to die in this world.
Abel was a sinner, for–“all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” Romans 3:23.
Yet, he believed in the Savior, and did as God had required. He took a Iamb and confessed his sins over it transferring them to the Iamb, and then with his own hand, he slew the sacrifice."
