LOOKING UNTO JESUS OR CHRIST IN TYPE AND ANTITYPE. BY ...

this dispensation, has reference to that which is the sanctuary
of this dispensation; namely, the sanctuary in
heaven. But as we have shown, the 2300 days reach far down
into this dispensation; and consequently the sanctuary to
be cleansed at the end of those days is the sanctuary of
this dispensation, not the sanctuary in old Jerusalem,
which has been superseded, and has "vanished away," but the
tabernacle of God, on high. p. 209, Para. 2, [LOOKING].
This is illustrated by what is said of the host. By the
word "host," of course, is meant the people of God. The
host was to be trodden underfoot the whole length of time
covered by the vision. Who were the host, the people of
God, when Daniel wrote? -- They were the Jews. But the vision
reaches over into this dispensation; and who are the
host, the people of God, now? The Jews? -- No; but Christians,
who are called in by the gospel. When the dispensation
changed, the Jews were no longer recognized as the
"host," but Christians are now such, and to them Dan. 8:13
now applies. So, likewise, when the new covenant was introduced,
the sanctuary of the vanished dispensation was no
longer recognized as the sanctuary of the Bible, but the
true sanctuary in heaven, which then took its place, became
the sanctuary of the Bible; and to this, Dan. 8:14 now applies.

To return to the illustration proposed above as an objection:
If it were arranged that a meeting-house in Detroit
should be the meeting-house of a certain society for ten
years, and then it should be destroyed, and give place to a
meeting-house in Chicago which should thenceforward for
twenty years be the meeting-house of that same society, and
then it was promised that at the end of thirty years the
meeting-house of that society should be cleansed, to which
would it apply? To the meeting-house in Detroit, which had
been destroyed? or to the meeting-house in Chicago, which
was the meeting-house of the society at that time? -- To
the one in Chicago, of course. This would be an illustration
adapted to the subject of the sanctuary; for this is
just what the Bible asserts in relation to it. It said that
while the former dispensation lasted, the earthly sanctuary
should be the sanctuary connected with God's worship; that
then that sanctuary should be destroyed and give place to
the true tabernacle and sanctuary in heaven, which the Lord
pitched, and not man, which should thenceforward be the
sanctuary of God's worship and of this dispensation; and
finally, that at the end of 2300 days, which would bring us
