joy; for all who are found worthy at last to live, are
those only who are in harmony with God's will, and are
filled with sympathetic joy and praise. p. 272, Para. 1,

Chapter 33 -- THE SUBJECT CONCLUDED p. 272, Para. 2,
[LOOKING].
BEFORE closing, a retrospective view of at least some portions
of the subject passed over, may be profitable. Much
space has been devoted to the subject of the sanctuary, because
that is the place where Christ performs his mediatorial
work, and in "looking unto Jesus," that necessarily
comes into particular view, and demands careful study. The
fault to be found with too many is, that in looking unto
Jesus, while they think that they see Jesus, it is with a
clouded imperfect gaze; they do not see the place where he
ministers, nor the nature of the service he performs, nor
the modus operandi of his work, nor the philosophy, beauty,
and impressiveness of his priesthood as set forth in the
type, nor, above all, the chronology of his ministration,
which unveils before our eyes such startling conclusions.
How wonderfully cleared and refocused would their vision
become on these important points, if studied in the light
of the sanctuary. A few questions and answers may therefore
help to rivet this portion of the subject on the minds of
some. p. 273, Para. 1, [LOOKING].
To the question, "The sanctuary -- what is it?" the answer
has been plainly found. It is not the earth, not the land
of Palestine, not the church; but, as revealed to us in the
scriptures, it is, first, the dwelling which the Lord provided
for himself here among men, in the tabernacle of
Moses, and afterward in the temple of Jerusalem; and, secondly,
it is the temple of God in heaven, his dwellingplace
on high, where Christ presents his intercessions for
lost men. This was not made manifest while the first tabernacle
was still standing. Heb. 9:8. p. 273, Para. 2,
[LOOKING].
To the question, "When is it?" the answer has come. In all
its most important aspects, it is now. Beginning with
Moses, fifteen hundred years before Christ, it becomes an
object of ever-increasing interest, till, as we reach our
own generation, and the work connected with it is about to
close, the issues there to be decided make it an allimportant
center of consideration and study. p. 273, Para.
