THE SANCTUARY DOCTRINE EXPLAINS THE WAY OF SALVATION OF THE GOSPEL (Part 15)
The Law of God Called The ‘Testimony’ and the Heavenly Ark, Called the ‘Ark of His Testimony’
“And He [God] gave unto Moses, when He had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, TWO TABLES OF TESTIMONY, tables of stone, written with the finger of God.” Exo. 31: 18, KJV. “And thou shalt put unto the ark THE TESTIMONY which I shall give thee.” Exo. 25: 16.
John wrote, as shown to him in vision in the Isle of Patmos: “And the Temple of God was opened in Heaven. and there was seen in His Temple THE ARK Of HIS TESTAMENT [‘testimony’], and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.” Rev. 11: 19.
The law of God, the foundation of His throne, kingdom, and government in heaven and on earth, and the transcript of His character, His “image,” is clearly and explicitly defined in the Ten Commandments, the only thing He ever wrote with His own finger, twice. He calls it His Covenant. Deut. 4: 13.
And because He “changeth not,” is the “same yesterday, today, and forever,”’ and is “from everlasting to everlasting”
(Ps. 41: 13) ——means “sola scriptura,” “according to the Holy Scriptures, the Bible,” “If it is written,” “Thus saith the Lord,” as determined by a Holy-Spirited guided “precept upon precept, line upon line, here a little there a little” (Isa. 28:9-13) preponderance of evidence from both the Old and New Testament.
Beginning with the proclamation of the third angel’s message of Rev. 14 it includes “the testimony of Jesus Christ” which is “the Spirit of prophecy” in the commandment-keeping remnant of her seed” church of prophecy. Rev. 12:17; 14:12; 19:10.
