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

Father, is indicated in verses 13, 14: "I saw in the night
visions, and, behold, one like the Son of Man came with the
clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of Days, and they
brought him near before him. And there was given him dominion,
and glory, and a kingdom," etc. This is not Christ's
second coming to this earth, for the Ancient of Days is not
here; but he came to the Ancient of Days in heaven, and
came to receive dominion and a kingdom, which he will receive
at the conclusion of his work as priest, but will not
receive till then. This, therefore, brings to view a scene
to transpire near, and at, the conclusion of Christ's work
as priest. We have seen Christ on the throne with the Father
in the holy place. But we have seen the Father changing
his position and opening a new scene, a scene of judgment.
To do this, he must first move to the place where
this scene is to transpire. Then Christ, as the second essential
actor in the scene, is escorted by a multitude of
heavenly beings, surrounding him like clouds of glory, into
the presence of the Ancient of Days in his new position,
according to Dan. 7:13. On the supposition of a change of
ministration from the holy to the most holy place of the
heavenly sanctuary near the close of Christ's work therein,
all these statements and movements have their appropriate
place and explanation; but on no other ground can they be
harmonized or explained. p. 135, Para. 1, [LOOKING].
Thus it becomes more and more apparent that the view that
Christ entered the most holy place when he ascended, is at
every step at war with both reason and Scripture; while
every objection to the view that he commenced his ministry
in the first apartment vanishes at the slightest touch; for
God can dwell between the cherubim, and Christ be at his
right hand, and both be, nevertheless, in the holy place.
p. 135, Para. 2, [LOOKING].
Chapter 16 -- THE PRIESTHOOD OF CHRIST p. 136, Para. 1,

THE great facts now fully proved in the course of this investigation,
are, that there is in heaven a real, literal
sanctuary, the antitype of the earthly building, called the
"temple," the "Temple of God," and the "temple of heaven,"
and that Christ, when he ascended up on high, opened his
glorious work of priestly ministry in the first apartment
of that heavenly tabernacle, in accordance with the work of
the earthly priests, who, ministering unto the example and
shadow of heavenly things, began their round of service in
