"Note that the son of man is not in the temple, or heavenly sanctuary, but is sitting on a cloud.
This introduces a timing element: if Jesus is not in the sanctuary,
then the investigative judgement has ended,
probation has closed,
and Jesus has pronounced,
“He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.” Rev. 22:11-12
Probation is closed, the investigative judgment is finished, and everyone’s eternal destiny has been determined and fixed.
The redeemed are, indeed, living without a mediator because Christ’s mediatorial role has come to an end.
But, contrary to what some imply, we cannot be lost during this time because our eternal destiny has already been determined.
The truth that we are to live without a mediator between the close of probation and the Second Coming can be a terror to no one who understands the prophecies."
