The Heavenly Sanctuary

Following on from the previous post, it is 177 years ago today that Hiram Edson, while selflessly going to cheer up his fellow believers on the morning following the Great Disappointment, was given the “corn field vision” of the Heavenly Sanctuary. In this vision God revealed to him the answer to all of their questions regarding this bitter disappointment. He was shown that in Daniel 8:14 it was not the earth that was to be cleansed at this time but the Sanctuary in Heaven. On this day in 1844, Christ had moved from the Holy Place into the Most Holy place of the Heavenly Sanctuary and the Great antitypical Day of Atonement commenced.
