Show 1EN HOT IS TO COME TO EWH HE IDE "God's judgment of the cases of men has begun in heaven, and is now going on," was the startling statement of Booth, the evangelist, last night at the tent corner of Washington avenue and Twenty-sixth street. Continuing, he said. "Moses was commanded of God to build the sanctuary as the one in heaven Ex. 25-8, 9, 40. The earthly sanctuary, with its service and priesthood, priest-hood, was a type and shadow of the temple in heaven, and the service In heaven. Ileb. S. 9 "There were two apartments jn the earthly Tabernacle and the high priest ministered in both of them during dur-ing the year. So Christ, our great high priest, must minister in both of the apartments In the sanctuary in heaven before he comes back the second sec-ond time to the earth. "When Christ ascended into the hoayens, ho bogan His work in tK holy place. Heb. 9. Before he comes back he must pass into the holy of holies. "The passing of the earthly high priest into the holy of holies, involved three things: The cleansing of the sanctuary, the blotting out of sin and the day of judgment. The 2300 days or years prophecy of the eight and ninth chapters of Daniel shows that the heavenly sanctuary was to bo cleansed In the year 1844 A. D. It was In that year that Christ passed Into the holy of holies in heaven. Acts 3:19-21 shows that the blotting out of sins must come before the work of Christ is finished as high priest Revelation Reve-lation 14 :G, 7 shows a message going to the world, declaring that judgment has begun in heaven. That message has been given by preachers all over the world. The Investigative judgment judg-ment is now going on in heaven. When Christ is finished, he will come with his reward with him. Rev. 22:11, 12." The theme tonight will be "The Standard at the Bar of Heaven." - on |
