Book excerpt: Marc Rasell's Exploring The Heavenly Sanctuary is a judicious interpolation and interpretation for layman and scholar of the main points of Seventh-Day Adventist theology. Christ is revealed as our High Priest who intercedes for us in the heavenly Temple. This is the heart of the Seventh-day Adventist message. Rasell addresses issues such as, Can we be sure there is a real temple in heaven?; What is the purpose of this temple?; When does the judgment start? Do we need to keep the Ten Commandments?; Should we observe a literal Sabbath?; and much more of vital importance to Christians awaiting the details of redemptive prophecies coming to their conclusions. The heavenly sanctuary reveals Jesus who ever intercedes for us (Hebrews 7:25).
