It is a pity, when the theory of a Sanctuary trodden under foot in heaven, and needing cleansing in heaven, the work of atonement incomplete, believers pardoned and accepted and yet their sins still left on the books of record, was concocted, that she did not read Hebrews ro. There she might have learned of the work of the Savior presented in all its perfection. God will remember the sins and iniquities of the believer no more. There is no more offering for sin. The way into the holiest, that is into God's presence, is open for the boldness of faith through the blood of Jesus. But the stream of deadly error flows on, growing deeper and darker.
Mrs. White writes: " There must be an examination of the books of record to determine who, through repentance of sin, and faith in Christ, are entitled to the benefits of the atonement. The cleansing therefore involves a work of investigation—a work of judgment... Those, who followed in the light of the prophetic word, saw that, instead of coming to earth at the termination of the 2,300 days in 1844, Christ then entered into the most holy place of the heavenly sanctuary, to perform the CLOSING work of atonement preparatory to His coming."
Fancy believers, pardoned and accepted by God, waiting to have it decided whether or no they are entitled to the benefits of the atonement! Fancy the work of atonement not completed! Every true believer on the Lord Jesus must reject this grievous dishonor put upon his Savior and His precious finished work.
