Shut Door

Jesus Returned Home and Opened A Door to Heaven’s Sanctuary; that same door will shut and no man will have an intercessor to forgive his sins.

Key Text:

Jesus said to John: Revelation 3:7  And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth; 

SDA View Before October 22, 1844

View of Before October 22, 1844

Editor: Adventist I ask agree that Jesus returned to heaven and sat on the Father’s Throne to intercede for man’s confessed sins. They sat side by side, as seen in Revelation 3:21 and Early Writings Chapter End of the 2300 Days.

Please explain how you can believe this statement above and agree with William Miller’s view before October 22, 1844, that Jesus had returned to heaven and had been interceding for man’s sins in the Temple’s first compartment, which is called the Holy Place. William also believed the Father was sitting in the Most Holy or Holy of Holies on the other side of the veil. Yes, today we understand this easy misunderstanding because Jesus has been doing what Aaron’s sons did in the 1st compartment, interceding for man’s confessed sins. Hear is the new light that is shinning. The Holy Place or 1st compartment has only a table, an altar, and one golden lamp-stand with seven “Oil” lamps. There is no Throne in the Holy place or 1st compartment. I am sure you will agree that Jesus never sits on the Father’s Throne in the Most Holy or Holy of Holies, there he only will stand.

Jesus does not intercede for man’s sins in the Holy Place, you need to find and identify where the Father’s Throne is located where they sat side by side. Father and Son sit side by side striving with man’s sins. When the Father and Jesus depart this dual Throne in the Holy City, we then move into another open door to the Temple John was shown in Rev chapter 4:1, which we read the Father sat down on his Throne and in chapter 5 we see Jesus joining the Father in the Temple’s Most Holy.

The Father’s and Lamb’s Throne is in the Holy City called New Jerusalem (Revelation 22:1-3). After Jesus returned to heaven, most agreed Jesus sat side by side on the Father’s Throne (Revelation 3:21). After carefully reviewing Moses’ records, I found no Throne in the 1st compartment called the Holy Place. Yes, the Father will sit on His Throne in the Temple’s Most Holy, and Jesus the High Priest is seen standing before the Father (Revelation chapter 5). How do you see Jesus interceding for man’s sins in the Temple’s Holy place?

Rev 3:21  To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.

Heb 8:1  Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such a high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens; 
Heb 8:2  A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man. 

Rev 22:1  And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. 
Rev 22:2  In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manners of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. 
Rev 22:3  And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and his servants shall serve him: 

Ellen’s Vision

“In the words of David referred to by Peter—“The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand until I make thine enemies thy footstool,” the Father is called Lord, who said unto Christ, who is also Lord, and equal with the Father, “Sit thou on my right hand.” “Therefore,” said Peter, “let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.”

The Spirit of Prophecy, vol. 3, p. 271.1 (Ellen Gould White)

Ellen agreed with the Scriptures that Jesus was to sit at the Father’s right hand. After a deep search of all the Scriptures, two Thrones are called the Father’s Thrones. We Advents agree and accept the Father’s Throne in the Temple’s Most Holy. We learned that by the time we were ten years old.

We also read or heard some of the visions given to Ellen White at home or in church years ago. The Holy City was preached by Evangelists who came into town to do an outreach into the community. I have learned that these large Daniel and Revelation meetings were held in larger cities with a large population base to advertise bringing new members into the Church. The Holy City and the Tree of Life, the River of Life, and the Father’s Throne, where the River of Life flowed out of, was always a picture of heaven and pointed to this City of God being on a New Earth at the appointed time.

I don’t understand the mind of the Almighty Father, but I know more today than when I was a youth or even in my 40s. The Scriptures have shown me that the Father hides things from our understanding, and in his own time, he allows us to see what we have not seen before. If we are following Jesus, it is not possible unless we are Born Agin of the Father’s sent Spirit. Jesus also has the same Spirit. But the Christian community has only a few that have learned what the “SEVEN SPIRITS OF FATHER & SEVEN SPIRITS OF JESUS ARE FOR. PLEASE READ ISA 11:2. I will try to post an article in a blog explaining these important Spirits that give us Sheep abilities that we must have to enter the Gates of the Holy City.

Early Writings

Editor: Ellen’s prophetic visions did not begin until December 1844. Ellen just turned 17 years old the month before.

  1. When first given to the Prophet, all prophetic visions point to events that will take place in the future. Prophecy is never history.
  2. The context must be understood.
  3. The book of Revelation is not all Prophecy. Jesus said in Rev 1:19  “Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter;“  So in Revelation, John recorded a little history (Rev 12:1-13), and John recorded in Rev 10:1-11 a personal message to John that was for John’s day. Then, most of the book of Revelation is Prophecy appointed during the last generation living before the Bridegroom’s return (Matthew 24:32-34.

To my Adventist family and friends: This next vision has been used to support Jesus’s move into the Most Holy on October 22, 1844. William Miller advised that every part of a prophecy must be fulfilled, or we must look for future fulfillment. I can’t ignore this list of problems when the Adventist Church has used this vision to support Jesus’ movement from the Holy into the Most Holy place.

  1. This Prophecy was given to Ellen long after October 22, 1844. To be applied on that date, the vision would have to be given by God before October 22, 1844 to meet the requirements of being a Prophecy.
  2. Many prophecies included the date Ellen received her visions; this one is missing a date. It took some research to find it was published in 1846. Since we know the month and year of Ellen’s first vision, I must look to future fulfillment and find a perfect fit on the Prophecy Chart’s timeline. Every event in this Vision aligns with the biblical prophetic calendar and events recorded in Daniel and Revelation.

Chapter: End of the 2300 Days


“I saw a throne, and on it sat the Father and the Son. I gazed on Jesus’ countenance and admired His lovely person. The Father’s person I could not behold, for a cloud of glorious light covered Him. I asked Jesus if His Father had a form like Himself. He said He had, but I could not behold it, for said He, “If you should once behold the glory of His person, you would cease to exist.”

Before the throne, I saw the Advent people—the church and the world. I saw two companies, one bowed down before the throne, deeply interested, while the other stood uninterested and careless. Those who were bowed before the throne would offer up their prayers and look to Jesus; then, He would look to His Father and appear to be pleading with Him. A light would come from the Father to the Son and from the Son to the praying company.

Then I saw an exceeding bright light come from the Father to the Son, and from the Son, it waved over the people before the throne. But few would receive this great light. Many came out from under it and immediately resisted it; others were careless and did not cherish the light, and it moved off from them. Some cherished it and went and bowed down with the little praying company. This company all received the light and rejoiced in it, and their countenances shone with its glory.”

I saw the Father rise from the throne, and in a flaming chariot go into the holy of holies within the veil, and sit down. Then Jesus rose up from the throne, and the most of those who were bowed down arose with Him. I did not see one ray of light pass from Jesus to the careless multitude after He arose, and they were left in perfect darkness.

Those who arose when Jesus did, kept their eyes fixed on Him as He left the throne and led them out a little way. Then He raised His right arm, and we heard His lovely voice saying, “Wait here; I am going to My Father to receive the kingdom; keep your garments spotless, and in a little while I will return from the wedding and receive you to Myself.”

Then a cloudy chariot, with wheels like flaming fire, surrounded by angels, came to where Jesus was. He stepped into the chariot and was borne to the holiest, where the Father sat. There I beheld Jesus, a great High Priest, standing before the Father. On the hem of His garment was a bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate.

Those who rose with Jesus would send up their faith to Him in the holiest and pray, “My Father, give us Thy Spirit.” Then Jesus would breathe upon them the Holy Ghost. Light, power, and much love, joy, and peace were in that breath.

I turned to look at the company that was still bowed before the throne; they did not know that Jesus had left it. Satan appeared to be by the throne, trying to carry on the work of God. They looked up to the throne and prayed, “Father, give us Thy Spirit.” Satan would then breathe an unholy influence upon them; there was light and much power but no sweet love, joy, and peace. Satan’s object was to keep them deceived and to draw back and deceive God’s children.”

Seven Golden Lamp stands – Each With Seven Oil Lamps

Do you see seven lampstands in the Temple’s Holy Place? Answer: No, there is only one lampstand with seven oil lamps in the Holy place.

When Jesus gave John the Book of Revelation, chapter one, we read about seven scattered houses of Israelite assemblies (churches) in Asia Minor, now modern-day Turkey. Each assembly is represented by one golden lampstand.

Editor: If Jesus was sitting beside the Father, it was not in the Temple’s Holy place or first compartment. There is no Throne. The Throne in the Most Holy only sits the Almighty Judge and Father. In the Early Writing chapter “The End of the 2300 Days,” the Father and Son sit side by side, and at the time appointed, the Father will rise from the Throne and is flown to the Temple’s Most Holy to await Jesus’ arrival. Ellen’s vision is confirmed in Rev chapters 4 and 5, and the second witness is Daniel 7:9-14. The third witness is Moses, recorded in the Torah.

Moses Record of Sanctuary Daily Service

Person’s Confession of Known Sins

  1. A man was allowed to confess his sin/s.
  2. A man transferred his sin to the sacrifice.
  3. The sacrifice was killed.
  4. Aaron’s sons only interceded in the Holy.
  5. Blood was anointed on Alter at the veil.
  6. Probation Ended Yearly.
  7. Forgiven sins were removed from the Sanctuary and Camp of Israel once a year.

Person’s Daily Sins of Ignorance

  1. Without knowledge of sin, no confession.
  2. The Tent of Meeting was outside the camp.
  3. Daily services allowed God inside Camp.
  4. Morning Lamb at 3rd hour was killed.
  5. Evening Lamb at 9th hour was killed.
  6. Lambs offered were also called Daily, Oblation, Continual, and Regular.
  7. These Lamb’s blood forgave the entire camp of Israel’s unknown sins; they could not confess without knowledge.
  8. When a sin becomes known, they must confess it.
  9. These forgiven sins were cleansed yearly from the Sanctuary and Camp of Israel.
  10. When Jesus returned to Heaven, he had David’s key over death and the grave.
  11. Jesus opened the door to the Heavenly Sanctuary where Father and Son sit side by side as all mankind are on trial that will decide life or death.
  12. During the daily services in Heaven, we have the Father’s Throne, where Jesus sits on the Father’s right-hand side.
  13. At Mt. Sinai, Moses was shown the heavenly temple with two compartments, which allowed him to design in detail what he saw in heaven. The model built at Mt Sinai was much smaller, allowing Israel to transport the temple when they traveled.
  14. Today, we all agree that the Father and Jesus sat side by side in the Sanctuary in heaven. But no man has explained where they sat side by side.
  15. The Holy compartment, or the first compartment where the sons of Aaron worked, has no Throne on that side of the veil. Only in the Most Holy do we find a Throne, and everyone reading this should know that only the Father sits there, and the High Priest stands before the Father in the Most Holy place.
  16. The Scriptures teach the Father has two Thrones. After Jesus receives his Kingdom, we read Revelation 22:1-4, which tells us the Father’s and Lamb’s Throne is located in the New Jerusalem.
  17. Ellen White recorded many times about the River of Life flowing out of the Throne of God. We Adventists never considered the locations of the dual thrones, where Jesus intercedes for our confessional sins. Jesus is our “Daily Lamb” that forgives our sins of ignorance. We can’t confess until our sin is revealed to us. The intercession for sin began after Jesus returned home and sat down on the Father’s Throne, in the Holy City, the New Jerusalem.

Moses Record of Annual Service

Annual Cleansing of the Sanctuary

  1. On the 10th of the Seventh Biblical Month
  2. Aaron’s Sons as Priests were not allowed in Sanctuary.
  3. Aaron’s sons, as Priests, were not allowed to intercede for a man’s sin on this day.
  4. No one-year-old lambs were killed for Israel’s unknown sins this day.
  5. See evidence in Leviticus Chapter 16 and all the records of Moses.
  6. Aaron provided only 1- young bull and 1- Ram for this annual event.
  7. The Camp of Israel provided only 1- Ram and 2- Goats for this annual event.
  8. Aaron is dressed in the garments of the High Priest.
  9. Sanctuary was to be cleansed once each year.
  10. Aaron was to anoint the Most Holy.
  11. Aaron, the High Priest, was never allowed to receive men’s confessions on this date.
  12. Probation ended, and the door was shut yearly for the Camp of Israel.
  13. This model is repeated by Jesus when he is in the Most Holy.
  14. When Jesus (Bridegroom) finishes his work in the Most Holy and changes his garments, he prepares to return for his Bride. As soon as he departs the heavenly Temple, the Seven Last Plagues or Bowls of God’s Wrath fall upon the Earth.
  15. Jesus, as the High Priest, breaks the First Seal in Rev. 6:1-2 revealing the man of sin who will stand in the Holy place in Jerusalem, calling himself (God/Jesus). He is the Antichrist who will rule for the last 3.5 years, Just before Jesus returns.

Chart A:

Bridegroom Returns to Holy City

Jesus returned to heaven with the key of David and opened the door to the Sanctuary in the New Jerusalem. This allows man to send prayers directly to the Father’s Throne, where Jesus is the intercessor for man’s prayers, doing what Aaron’s sons did, which was a Type, pointing to Jesus as the Passover Lamb for our confessed sins. Also, Jesus, as our Morning and Evening Lamb, Sacrificed for man’s sins of ignorance he can’t confess. Now, the fulfillment of the Earthly Services was transferred to heaven, and man no longer needed a Priest or Pastor to be heard in heaven.

In the Holy City, Jesus is in the midst of Seven Golden Lampstands, each with seven lamps. These seven lamps of fire were described in Revelation chapter one as seven stars or Angel messengers to the Seven Scattered Israelite Assemblies.

Isaiah 11:2 Explains the Seven Spirits with the Almighty Father and Jesus.

Chart B:

Door Is Open

Gospel to Gentiles & Scattered Houses of Israel and Jacob.

  1. Gospel is going to all the World.
  2. The Gospel door is open during B: & D:

Editor: Next, we will see a change at C: This begins what Adventists 50-plus years ago called the “Little Time of Trouble.” No one had connected the dots.

Chart At C:

Little Time of Trouble Begins & Salvation Door is Open for part “D” of this Prophecy Chart. The is the time appointed for the following:

  1. Little Time of Trouble
  2. Loud Cry
  3. The last Great Light on the 7th Day Sabbath
  4. Signs in Matthew 24:4-14
  5. Gospel Door still open for Salvation
  6. Last Call to come out of Babylon Rev. 18:1-4

  7. “I saw that God had children who do not see and keep the Sabbath. They have not rejected the light upon it. And at the commencement of the time of trouble, we were filled with the Holy Ghost as we went forth and proclaimed the Sabbath more fully. This enraged the churches and nominal Adventists, as they could not refute the Sabbath truth. And at this time God’s chosen all saw clearly that we had the truth, and they came out and endured the persecution with us. I saw the sword, famine, pestilence, and great confusion in the land. The wicked thought that we had brought the judgments upon them, and they rose up and took counsel to rid the earth of us, thinking that then the evil would be stayed.” Early Writings, p. 33
    Editor’s Note: The second half of the above vision in the lighter text applies to the Great Tribulation that follows the “Little Time of Trouble” which Ellen calls “Tribulation” and please note when the “Little Time of Trouble” is poured out the Holy Spirit is also poured out in the Loud Cry! Which I believe may be taking place today. Not the same view as what I learned in Church.
    The second part of the above vision applies to the last 3.5 years of Great Tribulation, which includes The Seals and Trumpets, and at “E” on the Chart, the Gospel to all the World ends and the Book of Life is closed, and no man on Earth has an intercessor for sin in heaven. Only the 144,000 Bride who are being protected (Rev 12:14-17) due to the Seal of God upon their forehead will be alive to see Jesus return and be translated without seeing death. Elijah and Enoch are types that were translated and taken to heaven without first having to die. The rest of the Saints in the Book of Life who are still alive before the Mark of the Beast will face the war the Dragon will bring upon them (Rev 12:17), and they, like Moses type, will die but will be raised at the Last Trump (Feast of Trumpets) on the 1st of the biblical 7th month. The last part of Ellen’s Vision includes the Seals, Trumpets, and the Bride who will face Jacob’s Trouble. Most in the Book of Life will die or be killed before Jacob’s Trouble. Continuing with Ellen’s vision…

Read Early Writings chapter “End of the 2300 Days,” where the Father and Jesus are still sitting side by side long after October 22, 1844. Does the High Priest sit down in the Temple’s Most Holy? No! Since I was a child, Adventists were told that this chapter proves October 22, 1844 AD. Sorry, but every prophecy student should know that when a Prophecy is first given to a Prophet or messenger the Prophecy tells of future events, never is past history given as a Prophecy. Ellen’s vision of the End of the 2300 Days came after December 1844. It can’t be used to prove Jesus and the Father went into the Most Holy in 1844.

Also, the Adventist Church still teaches William Miller’s view that Jesus returned to heaven and entered the Temple’s Holy place or 1st compartment to intercede for man’s sins, which may seem correct. Still, we have a considerable problem supporting that location. We all agree that Jesus sat on the Father’s Throne, where they sat side-by-side. There is no dual Throne in the Temple where Jesus will sit side by side with the Father in the 1st or 2nd compartment. Open Revelation 22:1-4 and read the Father and Son’s Throne is located in the Holy City. Also, read Rev. 1 and understand that Jesus is located in the Holy City on the Father’s Throne, where John began receiving the book of Revelation. Jesus was standing in the midst of Seven Golden Lamp-stands. This can’t be in the Temple’s 1st compartment, and it only has one Golden Lamp-stand. Every detail must fit properly without a man or Church changing the Scripture. The Father has two Thrones, one in the Holy City and the other in the Temple’s Most Holy. They only sit side by side on the Father’s Throne in the Holy City. There is no throne in the Temple’s 1st compartment, and the throne is in the Temple’s Most Holy only, where the Father sits, and Jesus, as High Priest, only stands before the Father.

In the first 3.5 years of Tribulation, or “Little Time of Trouble,” Jesus and the Father are still interceding for men’s confessions, and names can still be placed in the Book of Life. The instructions given to Moses at Mt Sinai in Lev. 16 confirm no person was allowed to confess their sin at the Temple when the High Priest is in the Most Holy. Also, no Morning or Evening Lamb was offered for the unknown sins of the entire Nation of Israel when the High Priest was working in the Most Holy. These two lambs are offered daily except on the Annual Service of Atonement. They are seen in Daniel and are called “Daily-Oblation- Continual – Regular.”

Now turn to Matt 24. Jesus said that the final generation will see ALL these signs that were written by Jesus. So now we have Chart “E,” or the end of the “Little Time of Trouble,” which is also the time when the Gospel to all the world will end, and “then shall the end come.”

Chart At C:

The following vision applies to the same time – place – and manor.

  “I saw the nominal church and nominal Adventists, like Judas, would betray us to the Catholics to obtain their influence to come against the truth. The saints then will be an obscure people, little known to the Catholics, but the churches and nominal Adventists who know of our faith and customs (for they hated us on account of the Sabbath, for they could not refute it) will betray the saints and report them to the Catholics as those who disregard the institutions of the people; that is, that they keep the Sabbath and disregard Sunday.”          E.G., White, Spalding–Magan Unpublished Testimonies, p.1.

D:

The Door is still open, and in the two visions above, when the “Tribulation” begins, people are still making life choices about what doctrines are true and what are false. Please don’t miss that some new light about a fuller Sabbath that caused nominal Sabbath Adventists to be enraged.

This vision warns us that none of us are without errors. We must plead for the correction needed for God’s people today.

“The Spirit is poured out upon all who will yield to its promptings, and casting off all man’s machinery, his binding rules, and cautious methods, they will declare the truth with the might of the Spirit’s power.  Multitudes will receive the faith and join the armies of the Lord…The safeguards which false shepherds have thrown around their flocks will become as naught; thousands will step out into the light, and work to spread the light.” –Review and Herald, vol. 3, p 272-275 (July 16 & 23, 1895)

Editor: People don’t like change. Long-standing traditions, if biblical, are lovely, and we see how truth has been handed down over the generations. But we must be very careful, for Satan has been working hard in all religious circles. I want to live near you if you think the Adventist people and church have not been affected. The Father spoke through a Prophet in the Old Testament, saying man would follow his traditions instead of following him. No person is safe on this Earth yet!

D:

Warning

  1. Where does Mr. Ed think today, we are on this Chart? Answer: I agree with many other prophecy students that we will soon be at “E” on this chart. I will share my personal view of the Scriptures later in this study. I found two prophecies that were not seen before and are essential in the Old and New Testaments. Here is what Adventist leaders have already shared.
  2. Mr. Wilson, the General Conference President, posted a video stating that the Antichrist is almost ready to be revealed, which will bring on the Sunday Laws.
  3. Mark Finley posted a timeline pointing to 2027 being the end of 6,000 years
  4. Other SDA prophecy students have sent me a study showing Ellen White’s statement that 27 AD was the end of 4,000 years. So 27 AD + 2,000 years = 2027 AD, the end of 6,000 years.
  5. Another well-known Adventist man pointed to 2027 as the end of 6,000 years in a YouTube video. Within a few days, the video was taken down. I searched for it and found it had been copied and posted on another YouTube channel.
  6. The Lesson of the Fig Tree in Matthew 24 is a prophecy, which I will explain in a Blog Post. See if you can understand Jesus’s statement that this generation will see all these things occur in their lifetime.

What is more critical than knowing when probation will close?

Matthew 24:14-15 tells us when Probation has closed. Leviticus 16 explains that Israel is prohibited from probation until the High Priest enters the Temple’s Most Holy. Only one group of Saints can follow Jesus into the Temple’s Most Holy with their prayers. Their prayers are not prayers of confession. Find out who they are by reading the chapter of Early Writings, “End of the 2300 Days.” This answers the long-standing question in the Adventist Church about a time coming when man has no intercessor for sin in the Sanctuary in the New Jerusalem in heaven.

This also calls to our attention old Seventh-Day Adventist teachings in the late 1950’s when Pastors encouraged the Church to do their very best to try to be in the small remnant group that would be sealed upon their foreheads and live to see Jesus coming and be translated without seeing death. Two groups of Saints! The bridegroom is coming for his bride of 144,000, which is exactly the number. Also, the wedding guests are resurrected and invited to the wedding supper (Rev 19:6-9, also Rev 12:14-17).
