The earthly sanctuary, which was a shadow of the heavenly, places the ark or throne of God, in the holy of holies, or second apartment, while the priest was ministering in the first apartment.
- The denominational view of the heavenly sanctuary places the ark or throne of God, in the first apartment while the priest ministers in that same apartment, in violation of the type.
- The teaching of the writer regarding the heavenly sanctuary and its service leaves the throne of God in the holy of holies, while the priest is ministering in the first apartment, in harmony with the type.
The shadow placed a veil between the priest and the ark, or throne of God, while the priest ministered in the first apartment.
- The denominational view has the priest minister in the heavenly sanctuary, in the first apartment, with no veil separating him from the throne of God, but with a veil behind both priest and throne, in violation of the type.
- The position herein advocated agrees with the type and places a veil between the priest and the throne God, while the priest is ministering in the first apartment of the heavenly sanctuary.
The type represents the priest as performing a long ministry in the first apartment of the sanctuary before the blood is shed which was sprinkled on the mercy seat to pay the penalty of sin.
- The denominational view teaches that the blood which was sprinkled upon the mercy seat to pay the penalty of sin, was shed before the ministry begins in the heavenly sanctuary, thus contradicting the type.
- The view taught in this paper agrees with the type, and places a ministry before the veil in the first apartment of the heavenly sanctuary, long before the blood was shed, which met the penalty of the law.

SHOW ME MY ERROR FROM THE WORD.
And now should any of my readers feel called upon to reply to the positions herein taken, do not, I beseech you, pick flaws here and there and then throw the whole aside as refuted, but with Christian fairness show by a “thus saith the Lord” that I am wrong when I teach:
- That the earthly sanctuary service was a shadow of the whole plan or salvation, as carried on before as well as after the cross.
- That a ministry on behalf of sinners was conducted from the heavenly sanctuary prior to the death of Christ.
- That the typical service “before the veil” represented the plan of salvation as carried on in the heavenly sanctuary before the incarnation.
- That while the earthly sanctuary stood, the heavenly sanctuary was the center of gospel ministry for man.
- That enlightened men from Abel to Stephen always understood that their prayers were heard in the heavenly sanctuary and answered from that sanctuary.
- That the brethren who teach that the earthly sanctuary was the center of salvation and that the heavenly sanctuary was closed to the cries of sinners for four thousand years, have adopted a similar position to that held by the Jews in Isaiah’s and Stephen’s day.
- That angels ministered the New Covenant blessings of pardon and regeneration from the heavenly sanctuary to repentant believers, for four thousand years before Christ died.
- That the term “within the veil” in Heb. 6:19,20, refers to the holy of holies of the heavenly sanctuary.
- That the throne of God in the heavenly sanctuary as well as in the earthly, abode in the holy of holies, “within the veil,” while the ministry was conducted “before the veil.”
- That the throne of God abode above the law in the heavenly sanctuary, as well as in the earthly, while the ministry “before the veil” was in progress.
- That the earthly sanctuary was defiled by the sinning of the sinner and not by the blood of his sacrifice of confession.
- That likewise the heavenly sanctuary was defiled by the sinning of men and not by the “precious blood of Christ” offered for our cleansing.
- That Satan will suffer for his share in the sins of the lost as well as the saved.
- That the Lord does not give the Devil a rebate of his share of the punishment of all those sins which are committed by those whom he eternally ruins.
