                   upon  them,  and  the  final  destiny  of  both


               saints and sinners. This field of vision having


               been scanned, we are taken back once more in


               the verse now under notice, and our attention


               is  called  to  the  close  of  the  priesthood  of


               Christ, the last scene in the work of mercy for



               a  guilty  world.  The  temple  is  opened;  the


               second apartment of the sanctuary is entered.


               We know it is the holy of holies that is here


               opened;  for  the  ark  is  seen;  and  in  that


               apartment alone the ark was deposited. This


               took place at the end of the 2300 days, when


               the  sanctuary  was  to  be  cleansed,  the  time


               when the prophetic periods expired, and the


               seventh angel commenced to sound. Since that


               time, the people of God have seen by faith the


               open  door  in  heaven,  and  the  ark  of  God’s


               testament  there.  They  are  endeavoring  to


               keep  every  precept  of  the  holy  law  written
