"As Jesus died on Calvary, He cried, "It is finished," (John 19:30) and the veil of the temple was rent in twain, from the top to the bottom.
---This was to show that the services of the earthly sanctuary were forever finished,
---and that God would no more meet with the priests in their earthly temple, to accept their sacrifices.
The blood of Jesus was then shed,
which was to be offered by Himself in the heavenly sanctuary.
As the priest entered the most holy once a year to cleanse the earthly
sanctuary, so Jesus entered the most holy of the heavenly, at the end of the 2300 days of Daniel 8, in 1844, to make a final atonement for all who could be benefited by His mediation, and thus to cleanse the sanctuary."
E.G.W.
