Exploring the Heavenly Sanctuary: Understanding Seventh-day Adventist Theology
Overview
Exploring the Heavenly Sanctuary reveals whether there is a temple in heaven and what its purpose is. Christ is revealed as our High priest who intercedes for us. This is the heart of the Seventh-day Adventist (SDA) message. Issues addressed include:
- Can we be sure there is a real temple in heaven?
- What is the purpose of this temple?
- When does the judgment start?
- Do we need to keep the Ten Commandments?
- Should we observe a literal Sabbath?
- And much more.
Top Highlights
“Thankfully with Christ’s will, which came into effect at His death on the cross” (Page 32)
“We can see an initial fulfilment22 of the Day of Atonement in the death of Lord’s goat” (Page 28)
“Some scholars have insisted that the Day of Atonement was completely fulfilled at the cross and see no future application.” (Page 28)
“The main bulk of the message to the Hebrews is that Christ provides a superior sacrifice and is our High Priest in the heavenly temple, with warnings against falling away.” (Page 7)
“When someone is clinging to the remnants of an obsolete faith, it is not always wise to demolish it without first giving them something new to hold on to, here is demonstrated the wisdom and grace of God.” (Page 7)
Rasell writes . . . in clear, accessible language, and although his scriptural analysis can be extensive, general readers will be able to follow along with ease. An extremely thorough, engaging presentation of the framework of Seventh-day Adventist beliefs.

Run from Seventh Day Adventism! Ellen White was plagiarist and a false prophet. The investigative judgment is not scriptural. Jesus finished all His work at the cross. He is risen and sits at the right hand of the Father. Jesus is our Sabbath rest, it is not a day to keep. Adventists teach that only true believers worship on the Sabbath day Saturday in the end. Adventism totally misses the fact that FAITH in JESUS alone is the key to saving faith not the keeping of a sabbath day! Seventh Day Adventism is a CULT!Tankiso Letseli
