then the end will come. Matt 24:14

Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew
that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves coverings. And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the
garden in the cool of the day, and Adam and his wife hid
themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the
trees of the garden. Gen 3:8,9
SeparationSeparation
Behold, the Lord's hand is not shortened, That it cannot save;
Nor His ear heavy, That it cannot hear. But your iniquities have separated you from your
God; And your sins have hidden His face from you, So
that He will not hear.Isa 59:1,2

And I will put enmity Between you and the woman, And between
your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, And you shall
bruise His heel." Gen 3:15
He will again have compassion on us, And will subdue our iniquities. You will cast all our
sins Into the depths of the sea. Micah 7:19

For indeed the gospel was preached to us as well as to them; [Israel] but the word which they heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in
those who heard it. Heb 4:2

Then I saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach to those who dwell on the earth--to every nation, tribe, tongue, and people--saying with a loud voice, "Fear God and give glory to Him, for the
hour of His judgment has come; and worship Him who made heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water.“ Rev 14:6,7

The Secret of Bitter oppositionThe Secret of Bitter oppositionNone could fail to see that if the earthly sanctuary was a figure or pattern of the heavenly, the law deposited in the ark on earth was an exact transcript of the law in the ark in heaven; and that an acceptance of the
truth concerning the heavenly sanctuary involved an acknowledgment of the claims of God's law and the
obligation of the Sabbath of the fourth commandment. Here was the secret of the bitter and determined opposition to the harmonious exposition of the
Scriptures that revealed the ministration of Christ in the heavenly sanctuary.

Which Gospel is Complete?
Your way, O God, is in the sanctuary; Ps 77:13
Following Jesus at all timesFollowing Jesus at all times
It is those who by faith follow Jesus in the great work of the atonement who receive the benefits of His mediation in their behalf,
while those who reject the light which brings to view this work of ministration are not benefited thereby. The Jews who rejected the
light given at Christ's first advent, and refused to believe on Him as the Saviour of the world, could not receive pardon through Him. When Jesus at His ascension entered by His own blood into the
heavenly sanctuary to shed upon His disciples the blessings of His mediation, the Jews were left in total darkness to continue their useless sacrifices and offerings. The ministration of types and
shadows had ceased. That door by which men had formerly found access to God was no longer open. The Jews had refused to seek Him in the only way whereby He could then be found, through the ministration in the sanctuary in heaven. Therefore they found no
communion with God. GC 430
Following Jesus at all timesFollowing Jesus at all times
To them the door was shut. They had no knowledge of Christ as the true sacrifice and the only mediator before God; hence they
could not receive the benefits of His mediation. The condition of the unbelieving Jews illustrates the condition of the careless and
unbelieving among professed Christians, who are willingly ignorant of the work of our merciful High Priest. In the typical service, when
the high priest entered the most holy place, all Israel were required to gather about the sanctuary and in the most solemn manner
humble their souls before God, that they might receive the pardon of their sins and not be cut off from the congregation. How much
more essential in this antitypical Day of Atonement that we understand the work of our High Priest and know what duties are
required of us. GC 430,431
The Day of AtonementThe Day of Atonement
"Also the tenth day of this seventh month shall be the Day of Atonement. It shall be a holy convocation for you; you shall afflict
your souls, and offer an offering made by fire to the Lord.And you shall do no work on that same day, for it is the Day of
Atonement, to make atonement for you before the Lord your God.For any person who is not afflicted in soul on that same day shall be cut off from his people. And any person who does any work on that
same day, that person I will destroy from among his people… It shall be to you a sabbath of solemn rest, and you shall afflict your souls
Lev 23:27-30,32

And in that day the Lord God of hosts Called for weeping and for mourning, For baldness and for girding with sackcloth.
But instead, joy and gladness, Slaying oxen and killing sheep, Eating meat and drinking wine: "Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!"Then it was revealed in my hearing by the Lord of hosts, "Surely for this iniquity there will be no atonement for you, Even to your death,"
says the Lord God of hosts.
Isa 22:13,14

Then I took the little book out of the angel's hand and ate Then I took the little book out of the angel's hand and ate it, and it was as sweet as honey in my mouth. But when I it, and it was as sweet as honey in my mouth. But when I had eaten it, my stomach became bitter. And he said to had eaten it, my stomach became bitter. And he said to
me, "You must prophesy again about many peoples, me, "You must prophesy again about many peoples, nations, tongues, and kings.“ Rev 10:10,11nations, tongues, and kings.“ Rev 10:10,11
Then I was given a reed like a measuring rod. And the angel stood, saying, "Rise and
measure the temple of God, the altar, and those who worship there. Rev 11:1

But many who professed to of the first angel's message.

I turned to look at the company who were 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. I saw them look up to the throne, and pray, "Father, give
us Thy Spirit." Satan would then breathe upon them an unholy influence; in it 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. Early Writings 56
