for in his intercourse with men, this might be the best mode of procedure, but not necessarily so in heaven. It must be shown, -- p. 132, Para. 4, [LOOKING]. 3. That the cherubim between whom God dwells on high are the cherubim of the ark. But this cannot be shown; for it appears from Ezekiel's vision of God and his throne, in Ezekiel (chapters 1 and 10), that the throne of God itself is a living throne, supported by the most exalted order of cherubim. And the most appropriate representation of this fact that could be given here on earth was to designate the locality between the cherubim over the ark as his dwellingplace in his ordinary intercourse with the human race. It must be shown, -- p. 132, Para. 5, [LOOKING]. 4. That God's throne in heaven is immovably fixed to one place. But this cannot be shown; for in Ezekiel's vision, above referred to, it is represented as full of awful life and unapproachable majesty, and moving whithersoever the Spirit was to go. And as in the earthly tabernacle, so here, it sometimes stood at the door of the Lord's house. Eze. 10:18,19. It must be shown, -- p. 133, Para. 1, [LOOKING]. 5. That the declaration that Christ ascended to the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens, signifies locality, rather than position in respect to exaltation and power. But this cannot be shown; for even when Christ appears coming in the clouds of heaven, he is said to be "sitting on the right hand of power." Matt. 26:64. p. 133, Para. 2, [LOOKING]. Thus those who appeal to the fact that God dwells between the cherubim to prove that Christ does not minister in both apartments of the heavenly sanctuary, must see that the argument fails them at every step. p. 133, Para. 3, [LOOK- ING]. It is evident from Ezekiel's sublime description, that God's throne is in itself a throne of life and motion. p. 133, Para. 4, [LOOKING]. The Creator of the universe, the Upholder and Ruler of all this vast realm, is not immovably confined to any one locality. And yet he dwells between the cherubim, because his throne itself is upheld by those wonderful beings. Further, there is plain evidence to show that when Christ commenced
his ministry above, on the throne of his Father, that throne was in the first apartment of the heavenly sanctuary. p. 133, Para. 5, [LOOKING]. 1. John says, in the fourth chapter of the Revelation, "After this I looked, and behold, a door was opened in heaven." He thus introduces us, not merely into heaven, but into some apartment in heaven. Therein he saw the throne of God, in all its majesty and glory; and before the throne he beheld seven lamps of fire, which are, beyond question, the antitype of the candlestick with its seven lamps, which had its position in the holy place, or first apartment, of the sanctuary. Christ is then introduced into the scene, described both as the lion of the tribe of Judah, and as a lamb as it had been slain, signifying at once his sacrificial work as priest, and his position of exaltation and power with God; and he takes the book sealed with seven seals, and begins to break the seals and unroll the book for the benefit of his people. And the first seal reveals the first, or apostolic, church. Thus the scene opens with the commencement of Christ's ministry, and at that time the throne of God was in the first apartment of the sanctuary, where the antitype of the golden candlestick was seen. p. 134, Para. 1, [LOOKING]. 2. This view of the matter is rendered sure by the testimony of Rev. 11:19, which declares that the temple of God where the ark is, the most holy place, was not opened till the sounding of the seventh trumpet, near the end of all earthly kingdoms. The scene of Revelation 4, where John first beheld the throne of God, was therefore certainly not in the most holy place. p. 134, Para. 2, [LOOKING]. 3. The inauguration of the investigative Judgment is brought to view in Dan. 7:9,10. And it is said that at that time "the Ancient of Days did sit." The word here rendered "did sit," signifies both in Hebrew and in the Greek of the Septuagint, according to Gesenius and Liddell and Scott, "to sit enthroned," or "as judges to sit in court." Had not the Ancient of Days been seated upon his throne before this? -- Certainly; but the language clearly indicates that he here took a new position for a new purpose. Some move is therefore made on the part of the Father when the judgment scene opens. He then occupies a position which he did not occupy before. p. 134, Para. 3, [LOOKING]. 4.
