The Great Controversy Chapter 23: What is the Sanctuary?

This chapter explores the biblical concept of the sanctuary as revealed in both the Old and New Testaments. Ellen G.

The chapter clarifies the role of Jesus as our High Priest in the heavenly sanctuary and connects this truth to the prophecy of Daniel 8:14, emphasizing the importance of understanding the sanctuary in the context of the final judgment and God’s plan of salvation.
