DANIEL AND THE REVELATION-Uriah Smith

~The Response of History to the Voice of Prophecy~

Chapter 8 – Vision of the Ram, He-Goat & Little Horn
new covenant, in force since the death of

Christ, the testator, has a sanctuary; for when,

in contrasting the two covenants, as he does in

the book of Hebrews, he says in chapter 9:1

that the first covenant “had also ordinances of

divine service, and a worldly sanctuary,” it is

the same as saying that the new covenant has

likewise its services and its sanctuary.

Furthermore, in verse 8 of this chapter he

speaks of the worldly sanctuary as the first

tabernacle. If that was the first, there must be

a second; and as the first tabernacle existed so

long as the first covenant was in force, when

that covenant came to an end, the second

tabernacle must have taken the place of the

first, and must be the sanctuary of the new

covenant. There can be no evading this

conclusion.
